earth shaking rattling

Noah let out a snort of a laugh. “A sexual thing? Oh god that’s terrifying. I like that though. I deserve to be given sugary cereal and see a movie someone else paid for.” She spoke through her laughter, wiping at her eyes as she calmed down a bit. “I’m still not over you mentioning it as a sexual thing. Mm, will it? Or will it be that in ten years I’m visiting you and your soccer team of a family.” Noah’s smile widened and nodded. “Oh most definitely. That’s why i can’t wait to be the cool aunt to them. They’re sure to be the coolest babies. Have you and Paige talked about that? I mean, having kids.”

“I don’t know! I am sure some people would find that sort of an arrangement sexual. Sugar dating is a thing, right?” she laughed with a playful roll of her eyes. “Although I find it difficult to imagine anyone in their right mind would pursue any of that with an adjunct college professor. We’re not exactly known for our surplus of disposable income.” Hayat shook her head, the idea of a life where she could afford to throw money around without care in a world almost bizarre to her. “As a cool aunt myself, I can definitely tell you will be the coolest of aunts.” She paused for a moment before nodding. “We’ve talked about it, briefly. I don’t actually want dozen children, that would absolutely destroy me, but I’ve kind of come to realize I really want to have kids. I want to have kids with them in particular.”

Eleven, the others’ words caught her off-guard, she swallowed her iced tea hard, afraid she might spit it out and make a mess. “You want eleven kids? What do you do for a living?”

Hayat could not help but burst out laughing as she shook her head. “I don’t think I will actually pursue that dream. I have such a soft spot for babies and kids in general but they’re an awful lot of work, aren’t they? And they are really expensive. I’m not about to raise eleven children on the salary of an adjunct Arabic professor.”

“Mhm. My brother called me after he saw the comment and he’s just as pissed as I am; she has no right to say anything like that to me. Especially after all the shit that she did when my brother filed for divorce.” Eliza looked a level of pissed that would’ve normally been kind of funny, given her height, were it not for the reason she was angry. “Sadly, I can’t fly to New York. I still need to work and I have to take care of the twins. Trust me, she’s a vile woman to her rotten little core.” 

“Yeah, obviously you can’t just drop everything and fly to New York in order to fight her. It must be real nice for her, saying all these horrid things about people who are in no position to put their lives on hold due to her nonsense. Just goes to show how she’s doing.” While Hayat could be quite argumentative, she had never been one to look for confrontation. Still, she fully understood where Elizabeth was coming from as she would’ve reacted in a very similar manner. “Do you want to, I don’t know, have a drink? I’m not sure it would actually be that helpful but it might at least take your mind off her.”

Casper looked over at the photos with a large smile on her face. She had yet to see the baby, and she wouldn’t for awhile, but he was indeed cute as all hell. “He’s beautiful!” she exclaimed gently, “You would totally be the super aunt that every one of your nephews and nieces would love if that happens. How’s the family? I’ve been meaning to visit but I’m scared it’s too early.”

“You want eleven nephews?” Daniel asked, neglecting to comment on the pictures of the baby. Babies were just… babies. “That’s a lot. How many brothers and sisters do you have?”

“I was kind of hoping to have enough kids to form a football team but maybe being blessed with eleven nieces and nephews would be a bit more feasible. I mean, I already have two, that’s something,” she pointed out, struggling to refrain from giggling. “Four. So, you know, I feel like I might be able to get there.”

Celeste blinked and looked between the girl and her phone before speaking. “All babies are the cutest things you ever seen. Until they start shitting and throwing up everywhere.” She then turned her gaze towards the girl. “Are you going around just showing these pictures to everyone.”

Jensen peered over at the photo and nodded. “Yeah… he is cute.” He focused on him and smiled lightly. “When was his birthday?”

“Right? He’s an absolute delight,” she sighed with overflowing fondness for the little human in the picture. “He was born two days ago. So, you know, he’s very tiny and brand new.”

“I am, I am well versed in furniture language,” they teased with a wink. Paige was a bit in awe that all of this was happening but welcomed it with eagerness. They loved her, wanted her more than they could ever put into words and she wanted them just the same. That alone was overwhelming it could bring them to tears but that was for another time, instead too focused on how good Hayat’s lips felt against their neck. They hummed softly, fingers brushing along Hayat’s back as they tilted their head slightly to give her more access. “Yeah? Was this before or after I took my shirt off?” They smirked, only teasing as they lifted Hayat’s chin up slightly so they could kiss her lips again. “Thank you, my love,” they mumbled against her lips, their own hands moving down to slid underneath Hayat’s shirt in order to pull it over her head. “There’s that body that I love,” they told her softly, their fingers slowly trailing up her stomach. 

Brody stopped what he was working on to take a look at what Hayat was showing him.  “ It thinks he’s going to be very spoilt but his auntie!” He replied as he looked at her. “What’s his name?”

“You would be right to assume that. I take my role as an aunt very seriously, and spoiling my niece and nephew is definitely a big part of that,” she admitted, well aware her voice was rather loud due to the sheer excitement of having a new baby in her life. “He’s called Zaid. It’s an Arabic name, means to proper. Hopefully that will be the case.”
