Good Morning Starshine!

[Nicolette Styx]

Nicolette gasped when she nearly bumped into a little a man that hadn't seen to notice her walking towards him, then again it could have been her fault for spacing out. Last night she hadn't slept all the great due to her morning sickness that seemed to kick in at all the wrong times, and unfortunately that made her a bit of spaceball as she tried to sleepily navigate her way through the crowd of people. She was just over two months pregnant and so far everything was going far better for her than it had been when she was pregnant with the twins and she was very thankful for that because honestly she didn't think she would be able last through another pregnancy of twins.

"It's too bad no one could join me today." Nicolette commented to herself as she dodged her way around people, Nataliia was busy, Kalif was at the school, and many others just did not have the time to be able to go out with her today to keep her occupied. Honestly she needed to go out and spend more time with other family members, but she didn't really know of anyone free that she knew well enough to ask them to come baby shopping with her. As she side-stepped around another man she figured that maybe today she would just have to bear it out all on her own.

 

[Rosaline Mckay]

The five month pregnant woman walked down Brightstone Village with her beautiful, two-year-old twins in their stroller as she pushed them carefully. The twins had already gotten glances from gushing women as they walked by, the silver eyes of her son, Vladimir caught the attention while the pure doll-like features of Zinaida kept the gazes but neither payed much attention to it, instead they spoke to one another the only way children their age new how to and every so often Rosaline would cut in affectionately or to adjust them. Vladimir seemed to always be squeemish and want to get away from the it and Rosaline was nearly sure that he would figure out the small seat belt soon enough and how to take it off.

The thought was frightening to Rosaline, you see she was a worrier. Every little danger she saw for her precious babies made her anxious and it was a wonder that Chavdar was able to handle her and keep her from putting a protective bubble around the children, although she was sure he was close to doing that to Hadan now that she had moved out. And the sheer busy-ness of the village made her anxious, the thought of being hit and falling was one of the many things that struck fear into her and almost walking into another person she gasped quietly. "Oh gosh, I'm sorry," she said softly before realizing exactly who she was. "Nicolette?" she asked with a smile bursting on her pink lips and then one pressed onto Zinaida who seemed to recognize the older blonde woman. Rosaline flicked her blue eyes down to the child whose arms shot up, "Auntie!" Vladimir on the other hand seemed more interested in something else all together.

Rosaline smiled with pride and said, "That's right Zinny." She was sure that Zinaida was not sure which Aunt this was of hers, but that was alright. She recognized this word and had tied it to Nicolette or maybe she thought it was Nataliia as they both had a similar hair colour. After all Rosaline and Nataliia did see one another more often then Nicolette and Rosaline did. "How are you and Kal doing?" she asked brightly, not realizing that the rather reserved woman had a slight change of personality from her son, who seemed to make her bright and sunny from his own personality but with the twins the way she had felt when pregnant had been the opposite of their personalities, perhaps it would be the same? Oh Rosaline did not know but she smiled at the woman as she fixed the dress that proudly showed the Zhefarovich crest over her bare shoulder.

 

[Nicolette Styx]

Nicolette heard her name being said by someone and turned her head towards the person who had been calling her name with an eyebrow raised on confusion. But as soon as she saw that it was none other than Rosaline Zhefarovich her confusion faded into a small smile and excitement that someone she knew and had no issues with was actually in Brightstone today. "Oh, hey Rosaline!" She turned her body and ambled over to the woman before she stopped and blinked with meek curiosity at the woman's obviously pregnant stomach. For some reason she suddenly felt really bad for not having known that another family member of hers was going to have a baby, she totally needed to buy then a baby present now or send a million apology cards for not visiting with them sooner. "Your children are getting so big. And my gosh...I didn't know you were pregnant!" Nicolette motioned to the belly and smiled softly at the thought of another little one being born soon. Vaguely Nicolette wondered if Rosaline knew the gender or anything, she appeared to be big enough to possibly know what the gender of the baby was then again some woman got really big even really early in the pregnancy. Nicolette was almost three months herself and was thankful she was barely showing at all, in fact she didn't even know the gender yet and it was bugging her inside to know what it was.

"Hey sweetie!" Niccy waved to Zinaida softly before her eyes returned to Rosaline, she tried to avoid staring at the woman's stomach but this had to be one of the first times she ever really looked at a pregnant woman's stomach other than her own in a long time and it was a bit awkward but strangely beautiful to see at the same time. When asked how she and Kalif were doing a small smirk formed onto her lips as she began a bit amused just thinking about it, on top of it she had never heard anyone refer to Kalif as that before. "What a cute nickname for him. We've been doing good, poor guy's all stressed out with teaching though while I'm at home taking care of the kids. Twins..is so not an easy deal." Her golden eyes sparkled as she spoke about her family, even if the babies were a handful she loved them so much it was hard to imagine life without being their mother. They were almost nine months and loved to cause trouble. But weirdly enough she was already feeling heartbroken that her babies were getting bigger, even if she had another one on the way to look after. "How about you and Chav? I've been meaning to visit but...I have no idea where you two live!" she laughed, she loved visiting family and now that Cecily was seemingly not ever going to come back she had to find some other companions to keep herself occupied with and she might as well start with family. Letting her eye shift she saw the Zhefarovich family mark on Rosaline's shoulder, the same exact one she had and it gave her a sense of pride and happiness that she had such a big family now.
