Ricardo came up with the children and gave Phoenix a welcome home nuzzle. "We missed you and we're glad you're back safe and alive."
*****
"Aw, I guess she missed me," Ebony rubbed her daughter's roof, "but I'm back and still alive."
Artemis looked up at her mother and nuzzled her affectionately, "Never go away again, Mom."
Kestrel and Falcon looked on. They were glad that their mother was back as well, but they didn't act like their sister.

"Thanks," Phoenix said as she smiled and Lynx and Iara nuzzled her happily.
Gryffin was alongside his father looking around. "Where's Steph?"

"I think I saw her go into the house with her mother," said Ricardo, pointing to the house with an antenna, "They both looked tired."

Aron followed Delfina and Stephanie, carrying his equipment bag across his shoulder and looking at least as beat. He was sure he would sleep like the dead for the next day or so.

Delfina let Stephanie go to her room to change while she plopped down on the couch in the living room, feeling exhausted and worn.
*****
"I need rest," Ebony said tiredly.

Aron sank into the easy chair by the couch where Delfina lay, and reclined back. "God, what a nightmare."
"The tent's still set up." Kendall said to Ebony. "If you don't feel up to driving back to the house."

"But I'm glad it's over," sighed Delfina, lifting her head from the padded armrest.
*****
"That'll be fine," nodded Ebony, "If you drove for so many miles and hiked through many more miles of unpaved forest in Washington, you'd be too tired to drive the few miles back home too."
She had, however, managed to take a short nap as Seth flew them back to the mountain, but it wasn't enough.

Kendall fetched some blankets along the way, and found Darcy unrolling a sleeping mat for the couple under the big party tent.
"Thanks." he said to the 'Bird girl as she patted it down.
"Let me know if you need anything else." Darcy said as she withdrew.
Aron was already drifting off, dead to the world.

"Sure, thanks," said Ebony as she rolled onto the mat and lay down.
Kestrel and Falcon pulled up to the tent, but as they weren't sleepy, they didn't go inside.
Artemis curled up against her mother's side.
*****
Delfina glanced over at Aron and smiled. She took a knitted blanket and cuddle up against him.

Aron's arm came over Delfina and came to rest on her shoulder.
Kendall settled down beside Ebony. It had been a long, worrisome couple of days for him as well.

Stephanie came back after a few minutes, stopping in front of the couch where her parents rested. She was followed by her younger brother, Bryan.
"Mom? Dad? I'm hungry," she said, "I really haven't had much to eat."
Delfina lifted her head a bit, "Well, we still have that birthday cake of yours that I baked for you. How about that?"
Stephanie nodded, "Yeah, all that they gave me were vegetables."
"Okay," Delfina got up to go to the kitchen.
*****
Ricardo led Phoenix, who was also tired, to the tent where Ebony and Kendall were. He peeked in. "Hola, may we share this tent with you guys?"
Ebony was already falling asleep.

"Sure, room enough for all of us." Kendall stifled a yawn.
Aron turned over with a whuff! "Mmmm... cake."

(((((OOC: Kinda getting to that point where this RP is winding down to a stop.)))))
Ricardo and Phoenix pulled in and settled down on an extra mat beside them.
*****
"I guess you didn't get to have a nice birthday," said Delfina to her daughter, "We'll have a small one, just between the four of us. Don't worry."
"Wanna help," said Bryan as he followed his mother into the kitchen.
After a few moments, Delfina came back out carrying the birthday cake. Bryan followed after her, carrying small plates and a handful of forks. Delfina set the cake down on the coffee table.

Aron finally dragged himself back to his feet and walked slowly and stiffly to the kitchen. Over the past two days, he'd stretched muscles he'd completely forgotten he'd possessed. "That sounds good to me."
Kendall nuzzled Ebony and purred.

"Can you guys not sing that stupid Happy Birthday song?" Stephanie asked, "It's really annoying."
"Sure," nodded Delfina as she cut of piece of cake and transferred it to a plate, then giving it to Stephanie, "Happy Birthday, Sweetheart."
"Thanks," said Stephanie as she began to eat her cake.
Delfina cut up several more slices, put them on plates and handed them to Aron and Bryan. Then she cut her own slice.
*****
Ebony leaned against Kendall and finally fell asleep.
Ricardo and Phoenix fell asleep as well. Lynx and Iara were beside their mother.
(((((OOC: Might as well end this. Now I don't have anybody to RP with. *sighs*)))))
