Sapphire woke up slowly as Kitt's voice pierced her consciousness. She glanced toward the door as he poked his nose in.
"Who is it, Kitt?" she asked wearily.
The twins were keeping quiet.
*****
"I'll get it," Ebony called, then went to open the front door.
(((((OOC: According to my Chrystmas fic, the twins were 3. Now they are about 4. So that would make Gryffin 3.)))))

"A couple of boys who want to see their aunt," Kitt said as he nudged the door open for the twins to come in.
~~~~~
"Hey Ebs," Phoenix said as she pulled in nudging Gryffin in front of her and shaking the snow from her frame as she pulled in. "Didn't think you'd be here already."

Sapphire lifted her front as the twins, Kestrel and Falcon, came inside. She smiled and beckoned them over with a tire and they came and nuzzled her.
"Hey, guys," she told them, "Sorry, I can't move much."
"It's alright," answered Kestrel, "Mom said that you should be getting lots of rest right now."
"I know," agreed Sapphire, and then looked up at Kitt, "Your uncle's been making sure of that."
*****
"Guess I'm still a bit fast even though I'm getting older," smiled Ebony, then tapped her hood with her antenna, "My confounded V10. Always makes me a little faster than everyone else I know. Anyway, Kitt took the twins up to see Sapph."
She looked down and smiled at Gryffin. "Hey, Gryff."

Kitt chuckled. "You got that right. Can't have you running around like you usually do."
~~~~~~
"Gives us a minute to rest then," Phoenix said, looking behind her. "Can't say the same for that husband though."
"Aunt Ewbs," Gryffin said as the Mustang bounded towards the Viper and nuzzled her fender.

Sapphire chuckled as well. "Guess I can't run around until after the baby is born, but I'm really starting to miss the racetrack. I think the last time I remember being there was when I was beginning to show. And Chick was teasing me... A bad idea on his part..." She had bitten the green racecar when he had gotten way too close to her.
*****
"Riico grew up in the desert, so seeing snow is like magic to him," nodded Ebony as she bent her front down to return Gryffin's nuzzle, "Hey, short stuff. How ya doin'?"

"And last time he would bother you for a while," Kitt said. "Not to mention that brawl I almost had with him."
~~~~~
"I've noticed," Phoenix laughed.
"Fine," Gryffin said bouncing on his tires. "Papa silly," the little Mustang said. He had been playing with his father before his mother convinced him to come in.

"I was afraid for you, you know," Sapphire pointed out, "I thought you were going to get hurt."
"Mom told us she played a prank on him a couple of years ago," said Kestrel.
Sapphire smiled, "Yeah, I remember that. The look on his face was priceless when Ebony scared the oil out of him. Dad recorded the whole thing."
*****
"Let him have his fun," said Ebony, "He'll come in when he feels cold."
She chuckled and looked down at Gryffin, "Now that's what we both can agree on."

"Hey, I'm a big tough New Yorker, we can take care of ourselves," Kitt said with a grin. "Though that prank always did cheer you up while you're stuck here."
~~~~~~
"Alright," Phoenix said closing the door.
"Where Kes'ral and Falcon?" Gyrffin said sniffing around, trying to scent them. "We go play outside?"

"I know you are," grinned Sapphire, "That's what drew me to you in the first place, remember? But I can't help but worry, you know? Guess it's just my hormones."
She chuckles, "Yeah, I can never stop watching it."
*****
"They went up with Uncle Kitt to see Sapph," answered Ebony, "She can hardly move now because of that baby. She's stuck in her room until after the baby is born."

"Don't worry," Kitt said with a nudge. "Won't be much longer, then you get to go back to watch the races for a bit before you start up again. Then you tell our kid all about it."
~~~~~
"Oh..." Gryffin said. "I go see!" The little Mustang darted up the ramp.
"Gryff!" Phoenix said.

Sapphire gave a deep sigh. "I know," she said, "I just can't wait for this term to end. I'm starting to feel very exhausted now."
The twins blinked as they caught a familiar scent and turned toward the door.
*****
"Hey," Ebony said, "Your Uncle Kitt said no jumping."
The Viper started to give chase after her nephew.
At that moment, a snow-covered Dodge Stealth came in and gave a vigorous shake.

"Thats..." Kitt turned as he heard a familiar child's engine racing down the hall and skidded to a stop at the room. "Auntie Sapph!"
~~~~~
"Rico," Phoenix laughed as the Stealth shook snow onto her frame.

Sapphire blinked and looked toward the doorway to see the small Mustang. "Well, I guess Phoenix is here as well," she said, then smiled, "Hey, Gryff. How about coming over here to give your Auntie Sapph a nuzzle?"
Ebony also approached the door, intending to remind Gryffin not to race up the ramp.
*****
Ricardo grinned sheepishly as he saw what he had done. "Estoy apesadumbrado," he apologized in Spanish, "Sorry. I couldn't help it."

Gryffin slowly pulled up to where the older model Trans Am was and gently nuzzled her fender.
~~~~~~
Phoenix let out a playful sigh and shook the snow off again, she wasn't the biggest fan of it sometimes. "Sometimes I don't know who's worse; you or Gryff."

Sapphire tried to reposition herself again so that she could be more comfortable. She smiled and returned Gryffin's nuzzle as best she couls. Kestrel and Falcon joined in. "Always feels good to see my three favorite nephews," she chuckled lightly.
Ebony had stopped in front of the door and was watching this. Maybe she didn't have to remind Gryffin to be careful afterall.
*****
Ricardo shut the front door and came over and nuzzle her. "But you still love us both, right?"
