Kailey and Estrella

[Kailey Harrington]

The Brightstone weekend had once again drawn to a close and Kailey had hesitantly bid her boyfriend Fiance a farewell and headed back up to the castle with her purchases as they had went into a few shops. She sorted them out and put them away, deciding to do a more through organization later. She flopped back on her bed, nearly crushing the now five year old Sasha who hopped up with a yowl of protest. "Sorry." she said with a laugh at the very offended looking cat bristled up at the foot of her bed. "Oh come here you ol girl." she said lightly. The cat padded it's way across the bed to her and curled up on her lap. Her belly fatter than usual, Could she possibly be pregnant again? Her and Jinx hadn't had another litter since their first and it was more than possible. Thinking about pregnancy reminded her of the newest edition to the Styx family, Olivia Styx. She still could hardly believe so much had happened in such a small amount of time. She was engaged, Lily was married, and Estrella was A mother! She decided to go ahead and write a letter to Estrella sending her congratulations. She didn't know if she would get a responce or not because a newborn was hard enough just babysitting, doing it full time didn't really room for much else.

Dear Estrella,

Hey there, This may seem completely out of the blue but this is Kailey. Demitris and I were talking in Brightstone earlier today and he mentioned that you had your baby! So I decided to go ahead and send my congrats your way. I tried to find a little something to send with the letter but Brightstone isn't really the best place to go looking for baby things. I'm sure Olivia is a beauty already. I swear when Demitris told me my jaw dropped, where does the time go? I knew you were pregnant but has it really already been nine months? Well, that wasn't a smart question of course it has been. Well, I'd love to write more but I'm running low on ink and the damn cats are currently trying to knock over the coat rack.

Best Wishes,
Kailey Paramore

It had been so long since Estrella had gotten a letter that she yelped when an owl sailed through the window. The creature perched on the edge of her daughter's bassinet. Olivia observed the bird with wide eyes, stretching her arms to touch the new arrival. Estrella of course shooed the animal away and promised it a treat; sharp talons and extra-soft skin did not equate to anything good. Tearing open the letter, she scanned it hungrily, devouring and spitting up each word just to chew it them all over again.

She hadn't talked with Kailey for nearly a year. Rushing to find quill and ink, she found the golden-eyed bird a reward. The snowy owl gobbled up the treat quickly while it waited for the woman's response. Estrella grabbed a moving photo of her young daughter. It was not all that exciting, but something all the same. She scribbled Olivia Namina Styx and March 27, 2024 on the back before slipping it into the envelope.

Kailey,

Thank you so much! You don't need to send anything. I don't think either of our parents are too happy with us, but we're swimming in gifts already. Go figure.

She is a gorgeous baby! Though she looks just like her dad, so that's no surprise. I almost think it isn't fair; she gets to sleep nearly 24/7, and I get to sleep hardly at all! Oh well. I've been told it'll get better in a few months. And I do love her so.

How have you been? I take it you and Demitris are okay? How did the game against Gryffindor go?

I must run off myself, Livvy is starting to get fussy. She is one girl that you do not leave waiting. I hope things are going great for you this year!

Love,
Estrella

Kailey was sleeping in, taking advantage of her Mondays off when she was awoken by a loud tapping noise followed by a loud thunk. She slowly opened her eyes, rubbing the sleep out of them and yawning as she sat up to see what the hell those noises were. Goose was laying on the floor meowing in what sounded like pain and Mystic was tapping the window still, only temporarily affected by the cats attempted attack. She threw the comforter off of her and planted her feet on the ground. Opening the window, letting in some cold air in the process Kailey quickly snapped it shut again once the owl and the letter were both inside.

She gave the owl a treat out of the screw top container she kept them in and put the little container back up in it's shelf while Mystic perched on top of the bookshelf, leaving the letter on the desk behind it. Kailey picked up the letter and opened it, looking at the picture of Estrellas daughter. She was such a cute baby, Kailey used a sticking charm to place it on the wall before reading the letter. After scanning over it a few times she got out a fresh pot of ink and sat down at her deskm dipping her quill in the red ink as she began to write.

Estrella,

Thank you for the picture, she really is adorable! So she was born on March 27th? Well then shes nearly a month old! Wow... surreal to think that a year ago you were still bunking in the Ravenclaw dorms with the rest of us. She really does look like her father, well... What I can remember of him anyways, Jaken and I didn't talk much, or really at all from what I can think of.

Lately I've been doing great, my school work has been easier lately though my grades still aren't as good as I'd like them to be. I don't know how long this mini vacation is going to last but I know I'm going to milk it while I can. As for the game against Gryffindor, we definitely showed those kitties who was boss. My sister Trista transferred over from Beauxbatons this year and she's our new keeper. The final was 100-0 in Ravenclaws favor. Though I hope we get some wicked alternates next year. Because Me, Trista, Aries, Kasey, and Sumner will all be graduating. Thats half the team!

Demitris and I are doing fine, well... much better than fine actually. Yesterday while we were in Brightstone he... Well, lets just say he asked me a very big question and I now have a ring on my left hand.

Well, What else have you been up to besides becoming a mother? Though that is the biggest thing happening I would hope. I hope things are going great for you too Estrella!

Love,
Kailey
