Sage slept well into the morning, only stirring when the kids started screaming. He got up with a groan, stumbling over half asleep as he moved to scoop up whoever was closest to him.
|
|  |
|
|

|
Celeste woke too, exhausted from their night. She groggily got up, going to get the others.
|
|
|
|

|
Sage did what he could to quiet the kids down, quickly tossing on a pair of pants and tossing Celeste her clothes as well in case Odessa or Xander came in to help, trying to get bottles to all the little ones
|

|

|
Celeste pulled on some clothing, nursing two kids and bottle feeding another. Just as Lizzie came bouncing over. Celeste smiled, greeting her and going to make breakfast with her.
|
|
|
|

|
Sage greeted Liz too, though more tiredly than Celeste. Shed clearly been rejuvenated with some blood....he probably just needed to eat a good meal and rest for a bit. Then he's go hunting and try to find some more blood as well as the meat they always used.

|
Celeste continued to nurse and bottle feed, and help Lizzie make breakfast.

|
|

|
Sage finished taking care of the kiddos after a while, and moved to grab a cup of coffee before plopping down at the table
|
|  |
|
|

|
Celeste ate with Lizzie before settling beside Sage, resting her head on his shoulder.
|
|
|
|

|
Sage wrapped an arm around Celeste when she settled beside him, sipping at a cup of coffee
|
|  |
|
|

|
Lizzie came running over, giggling. She leaped onto Sage and Celeste.
