Kita: *leads his Mundockian friend to the bathing pond, where the cooling waters can heal anything

Kal: *looks at the pond* Looks reli tempting

Kita: *sheads himself of his pants and sticks his legs in the pond* ooooh

Kal: *follows after him, exhaling in relief at the cool feeling*

Kita: What do you think?

Kal: Mmh~! Feels really good. My ankles don't hurt that bad anymore

Kita: *rubs his bare stomach*

Kal: How long more till ur due?

Kita: I'm about 5 months along *his ears wiggle as he hears giant footsteps coming.

Takai: ^^ Hi Pa. Hi Kalana

Kal: *looks up to see Takai and grinned* I heard you were adopting one of the giants, but didn't think it'll be true

Kita: I did. He's the newest addition to the clan.

Takai: *sits down* So, you're Nakh's wife?

Kal: And ur one of them that, um...hurt my daughter. Pleased to meet you

Kita: Kalana, he was forced against his will to do so. He's passive

Takai: Tis true. I never wanted to hurt Mellokh.

Kal: I knw. I just...dunno how to address him any other way. If you truly are sorry for what you did *strokes Takai's hand* then I have nothing against you

Takai: *sits down by his adopted papa and his mentor's wife* So, how long have you two known each other?

Kita: Wow...*looks at Kal* How long has it been?

Kal: I dunno. Almost forever. Of all the hideouts we've been when we were on the run, u guys were the longest running. It could well be more than 10 years now

Kita: All our kids are grown up

Takai: Oh! You mean Kito, Raito, Melly and Elly?

Kal: Yup, the very ones

Kita: And my nephew, Kiba, the eldest of their little group

Takai: Ah yes, I remember

Takai: I saw him earlier. He was getting pretty big.

*Meanwhile, with Kiba and Elly...*

Kiba: *rubs his swollen middle* oooh

Elly: You alright, love?

Kiba: How much longer, Elly? I'm almost big as Uncle Kita

Elly: I'm not reli sure actually. Giant babies n wolf babies have different pregancy periods actually

Kiba: *rubs the underside of his belly* I'm wonder how big melly is

Elly: Last time I saw him he's pretty big. After all, he's carry both Kito and Raito's kid

Kiba: *Rubs his stomach* I wonder where Melly is

Elly: I dunno. Last time I saw him was at his new home, sprucing up the plc

Kiba: *climbs onto Elly's shoulder* Let's go see him ^^

Elly: *holds onto him* Sure, let's go

Kiba: Forward, march! *is being playful*

Elly: *chuckles and walks towards Melly's new home*

Kiba: Melly nii-san!

Elly: Sis? Sis, you there?

Melly: I'm in here, in the nursery

Kiba: Hey Melly!

Melly: Hey guys *hanging up some origami cranes on the ceiling*

Kiba: Wow, you spiced up the place

Melly: Yeah, I'm...Woah! *slips frm the stool he was standing on*

Elly: Sis! *catches him* Careful, sis

Melly: Th-Thanks, bro

Kito: Melly! Are you okay?

Raito: Melly! *hugs him*

Melly: I'm OK, thanks to Elly. Thank goodness

Kito: I heard you know our little brother.

Melly: You mean Takai? Yeah, I do *smiles sadly*

Raito: *climbs onto Melly's shoulders* Hey, we heard. Don't worry, we're here for ya. All of us.

Melly: I dunno. I may have forgiven him, bt it just tugs at my heartstrings whenever I see him. The past just keeps coming bk

Raito: Just think of him as someone you just met

Melly: I'll try... Ooh!

Kito: What is it?

Kiba: Something wrong?

Melly: The baby kicked. Well, one of them anyways Mmh! *feels it again*

*the twins feel their mate's stomach*

Kiba: ^^ hehe

Melly: I can't wait for the kids to come out. I feel so heavy

Kiba: You're not the only one. Ooof.

Elly: Baby kicked too? *feels his belly*

Kiba: Yea, he's been active

Melly: Well, I think that's enough for the room at the moment. Let's go visit mom. I heard he made jam tarts for the visiting giants

Kiba: I think he went to the bathing pool with Uncle Kita

Elly: Then lets go find him
