Tea Time -The She Wolves-

[Freya Eden]

Freya couldn't imagine it was Del's birthday again. It seemed like she had just held her little angel in her arms for the first time... And now she was five years old. Her daughter had changed, and started school and lost teeth and it made the blond a little misty. She supposed, funnier than that was their second baby was eight months old. She was crawling and standing and pointing- Time was going by too fast for this Devil's tastes.

They were having a tea party for the girls at the pavillion by the lake. Each little table was set up with all the fixings: china cups and pots, biscuits and lines, flowers in vases. It was really perfect. Delly and Freya arrived with Jessica and Vivi. Tam had off course set it all up and was waiting for her kisses from her favorite niece. The rest of the guest list included Ms Jordyn and Is, Ms JC and Ilana, Ms Cissy and Kesi- Basically all the girls escaping from the manor with their daughters and leaving the daddies to deal with their sons.

Autumn had set everything up as Freya had instructed, and was sat comfortably on a blanket amongst the tables. She'd brought each of the girls a present, a peice of jewlry for the older girls, with their initial in place on the golden/amber stones and a bear or toy for the younger children. She love her boys, don't get her wrong, but sometimes it was just even more special to spend time with girls.

Something Yaz understood. She had Sammy's arm in hers, and Isla on the other side, and was talking and chatting to them about boys and how boys were just weird nintey percent of the time, but she couldn't find herself completely at ease she was sure she hadn't spent time away from Fletcher since he'd been born until today.

Cissy and Jordyn were bringing up the rear of the little gathering of women to round on the tea party. Jordyn had Kesi in arm, and the two women were talking boistrusly and teasing Cal and Perrin in their absence.

"Auntie Tam!" Delly ran over and hugged her, arms going around her Aunt's neck. "I haven't see you in forrrrever!"

Goldwyn arrived a moment later, Lottie in her arms. She looked around and smiled at all the women. Setting down the bassinett, she picked her daughter up, cradling her at her side.

Isla giggled, "We need to rescue you more often, Yaz. It sounds like the Snares are making you one of them."

[Yaz Montena]

Tam caught her and swung her around, giggling. "Hello my beautiful girly!" Tam grinned, kissing her as she sat the girl on her hip, kissing Freya's cheek and Blakes forehead hello also. Then she turnd back to talking to Delly. "my goodness you got so big and so pretty!"

Yaz laughed. "I'll always be a brackner at heart, those snares can't get through their pints fast enough for me to ever be one of them." She teased softly, smiling at both girls.

[Freya Eden]

"Why don't you visit me?" The little blond demanded, "I miss you."

"Ms Caine was trying to teach them but Fairway was telling her not to be mean to Zeke." She giggled, "She got all pouty because he's trying to make her nice."

[Yaz Montena]

"I'm sorry baby-girl." Tam told her, with a sad face on. "I miss you too, but I've had lots going on recently ok?"

Yaz laughed. "Sounds like Caine."

[Freya Eden]

"More important than me?" She asked one of those impossible questions children don't get the implications of.

Isla sat at a table, crossing her legs. "How's Fletchy?"

[Yaz Montena]

Tam laughed and kissed her; "nothing is more important than you!" She told the little girl. "but sometimes I do have to see Jackie, don't I? - although, he's not here now-" And she scooped the girl up in her arms. "Now, come and have cakes with me-"

Yaz smiled, sitting also. "He's gotten so big."

"Whats it like having a baby?" Sammy asked.

"Oh you dont want one yet-" Came Cissy's reply over the girls shoulder. "Slow down there, elfie."

"I wasn't saying I wanted one!" Sam repled, blushing. "I was just asking what it was like."
