75 Godiva Street | Late Morning

It had been a long and sleepless, but satisfying, 4 weeks with the twins at home. They were turning a month old on Friday, and Annie and Diego finally decided it was time for them to be introduced to the rest of the world. Diego would miss their little family bubble they had for a month, but he had to admit he was looking forward to talking to adults again.

They had sent texts out to various people inviting them over if they so wished (he was not about to force people to see his children), and ordered a pizza now that they were done with the healthy food Donna had supplied them with. The twins were dressed in cute outfits that they probably wouldn't put up with a couple months from now.

Of course Maggie immediately spit up on her little dress but he figured people were gonna have to get used to that like he had over the last couple weeks.

Summer was just finishing up at the gym when the text hit her phone, which elicited an excited "Eeee, babies!" from her and a slight shift in her plans for the day. She rerouted to J,GoB for some cupcakes and T&C for some sparkling juice, and then headed over to the other side of the island to come knocking on the Hargreeves' door.

Annie was feeling a lot more self-conscious than she would have thought she'd have energy for, honestly. In there, amidst pride over her children and the gentle thrum of so tired, so tired, so tired -- there was also just the tiniest weirdness about how she felt about anyone seeing her a month postpartum.

When she'd been pregnant, she'd been as big as a house, sure, but she'd been sort of cute about it.

Nothing that was happening under Annie's clothes -- a baggy, but spit-up-free sweatshirt and the comfiest pants that were fit for company -- was cute, anymore. It was all so much more like...Paul Verhoven presents The Miracle of Life.

Anyway. Time heals all wounds, or whatever. And the gym would help clean up the rest.

"I feel bad getting all gendered on the kids right away," she noted, adjusting the tiny headband she was completely insistent Maggie wear. "But like right now you can't tell them apart at all."

And, honestly, were she not their mother, Annie wasn't sure whether she might not confuse these babies for other babies around their age as well as each other. All babies looked the same!

Of course Steve and Danny would be there, with more onesies for the twins and genuine Kona coffee for the adults who probably really needed Kona coffee.

And there they were, knocking!

Meet some babies? Don’t mind if they do! Hence why Watts and Steven were here, knocking on the door with some SP from Steven’s player especially due to RL things, baked goods in hand.

Gladio was, of course, at the gym when the text came in, which meant he was sending one back:

You guys mind a little bit of a later drop-in? I know you two probably need all the rest you can get, though, so no worries if not, I'm sure I'll get to catch the little ones eventually!

Will had let the nurses know he’d be taking an early lunch break, using the time to head over and say hello to Annie, Diego, and the babies.

The nurses had tried to demand he bring back baby pictures, but Will argued that that was weird, showing off pictures of someone else’s babies.
