Obi-----------------Nakira
Tobias------------Jocelyn
This was going to be a disaster. They had really been blown away when Madeline had showed up with a couple kids...and that wasn't all too unexpected. She'd always been the wild one and quite frankly Obi had been shocked that she'd only shown up with two in tow. But this was something entirely different.
These were Xander's kids.
Xander. The 'I can barely talk to a girl and have no idea where babies come from' little boy they had raised. The most put together and stable right after Kyrie. And yet he had shown up with kids by some woman neither of them had ever met.
Despite that revelation that their precious baby boy was now a father himself there was one more thing that was going to make this day a disaster. The kids were now old enough they wanted to stay with grandma and grandpa. Those words tasted like poison in Nakira's mouth and she nearly gagged every time someone said them when speaking to her.
"What is Xander thinking? We haven't had kids in the house since he and his sisters! I don't know what kids eat anymore...or if they eat. Do you eat?" She looked beside her to the two young tikes who both smiled and nodded their heads. "Ok, well at least you eat."
"This will all be fine. We just need to get in and get out, buy like we used to. It'll...be like riding a bike. Probably." Obi frowned at his own words before immediately flashing his wife a smile. "Come on little extended family...let's go and get this trip over with!"
Jocelyn tugged on Obi's hand to go faster and Tobias took off in a beeline for the carts yelling "I can push it!' The pair looked at each other and gulped as they entered the mouth of the beast: the entrance to the local Mego-Mart.
