Mari grinned happily to the boy... he seemed happy with the cinnamon rolls. She loved them too. They were absolutely wonderful. She wasn't a massive fan of sweet things... but they were perfect. She cleaned up everything for him with a happy grin. "They're perfect hun," she chirped before putting the last few in a box. "Would you be happy bringing some back for... everyone?" She asked with a bit of a laugh. "For looking after Silas. I need to know what he's been getting up to," she mused lightly. They should probably get going soon enough. "Come on. Sooner we get going the better," she told him happily.

Sage hummed happily and nodded as he finished his own roll and stood up. "You wash and I'll pack," he asked in a bit of a chirpy voice. When Mari agreed, he grinned happily and mooshed a kiss to her cheek and then waddled over to put the rolls in a container that they could throw out once the rolls were done. "I do wonder what he's been up to," he mused happily, a fond look crossing his face when he thought of his son. He nodded and took her hand when she said to get going, and they were on the road soon enough, on their way to pick up their baby and greet their family. He had no idea what awaited them....they had left right after the wedding, really, so their family was probably waiting eagerly for them. But he was happy and eager to get home. Chaos was too, it seemed, since he cantered along happily, head held high and arched in it's usual proud manner.

Mari nodded in agreement, her cheeks flushing pink at his kiss and a grin on her face. Well, that grin hadn't left all morning... or rather, the past week and a half. And, she also wonder what exactly her baby boy had been up to. Probably sleeping... well, he was crawling around now, considering he was just over a year... and he'd probably discovered ginger. The poor animal would probably love him. Soon enough, though, they were nearly home... and she was so excited. She'd gotten Sage his gifts, too. Soon enough, though, they'd stopped outside her mothers cottage, and Mari pretty much bounced off to grab a bag with everything for the family. "Ready?" She asked with an excitable grin.

Sage grinned over at Mari, really just finding her excited nature both attractive and adorable at the same time. Then again, with her sort of button nose, who wouldn't find her cute? Or pretty? But he nodded to her happily and grabbed the few other bags they needed before taking her free hand in his. "Ready," he chirped happily. He wandered down next to her as they went to the front door, and they were almost instantly greeted by the throng of people, though Amber had found him first, meowing loudly to be held as she rubbed against his legs. He set the bags down and picked her up, where she cuddled into his chest happily as everyone else greeted them. The doctor was there too, which surprised sage a bit. But it was a good surprise all the same.

Mari grinned happily to the him, entwining her hands in with his contently. They wandered in happily, and the first to greet her had been her mother, who looked more than thrilled to see the two of them. She grinned, looking more than happy to be fussed by her mother. Xander came bawling in, though he was more interested in Sage than her, and Anthony came in shortly behind her. He'd gotten a lot more used to Sage, and having him around... and it was clear the boy made Mari happy. The two of them were sat down, and bombarded with questions as to how their holiday was... of course, she spared a lot of the details, but she told them about the beach and the house, and how wonderful the whole place was... and they handed out the gifts... which everyone seemed to have adored. They grabbed all the baby things and piled it all into the cart before finally getting to pick up the child, and Mari seemed most thrilled about that. They slowly wandered out, and the woman barely took her eyes off him, even though he was cradled in her arms. It was certainly safe to say she'd missed the little thing.

Sage found it hard to focus on one person (or animal) at one time, since they were all talking. Amber was meowing, her mom and Anthony wanted to know every detail about the trip, Amber was meowing and pawing at him for attention, and so was ginger....Xander was just glad to see him and was talking his head off, and Silas....well, he was just so glad to see his baby boy again. He couldn't keep the grin off his face as they ambled back, Amber and bags in one arm and his other arm wrapped protectively around Mari and as a result the baby. He was happy to be back in their little room later...a house would be nice, but for now, this was home.

Mari smiled gladly to the baby, who was still sleeping like... well, a baby. He was arodable, and his hands were going like he was dreaming. She was just glad to have him in her arms again. She grinned up at Sage when an arm wrapped around her, but soon enough they'd climbed back into the cart, but not before letting Chaos sniff the little man, as he was clearly interested in him. Once they were settled down, with the baby in her lap and the bags all secured, she finally got to actually fuss over him. "Hey baby boy," she chirped once he was finally awake and cooing gently.

Sage fussed over the two of them, grinning when chaos seemed curious about the baby, and the fact that Mari let the horse sniff him and didn't seem to mind. Or maybe he just noticed it all because he was still just so happy and excited about everything. He glanced over at them with a grin and it really only widened at the sight of the little boys happy grin that mommy and daddy were back. "What's up, little man," he chirped happily as Silas reached his chubby little hands over to Mari and then him. He chuckled lightly, and poked the boy lightly, Silas giggling in response. "Daddy needs to drive, Silas," he mused happily. He'd hold him once he got back. They were back in their room soon enough...one of the guards had promised to take care of chaos, and sage gave him a rather detailed list of instructions before patting the stallion and grabbing their bags, following Mari and Silas back into their room. Once inside, he flopped down on their bed with a huff of air, and then reached for his son happily.

Mari smiled gently to the boy, rather amused by the antics of their child... he was clearly so excited to have his parents as of then. And the two of them were just as excited to have him there, too. They padded back to the room happily, Mari rally only having light work considering Sage had all the bags and she just had a baby in her arms. And admittedly, very large baby. She wasn't sure how or when he'd gotten so big... when he was first born, he was absolutely tiny, a lot smaller than most newborns, but he just seemed huge now. They unpacked and flopped happily once they'd set all of Silas's things out on the ground. Amber was clearly happy to see them, too. When Sage put his hands out for the child, she pouted but eventually handed the boy over once she'd tickled his neck, gaining a delighted laugh from the child. She jumped up after a bit... she'd gotten a little toy for the boy, and a small necklace to wear when he was older. It was very similar to Sages... she took it he was hand the pendant down to the boy when he was old enough, but for now he had this one to wear in a few years.

Sage grinned at the girl when she handed Silas over, though he let out a surprised grunt when he held the baby's full weight. Man, when had he gotten so big? "He's gonna end up taller than me if he keeps growing like this," he huffed, though of course fondly. Silas curled up on his chest after a bit, gripping his shirt with his chubby little hand happily. He fell asleep soon enough, and Sage was more than happy to hold him while he slept and run his fingers through the baby's soft hair. He closed his eyes after a moment, sort of just relaxing with his son as Mari did ... whatever she wanted to do. Rummaging around for this that or the other. He drifted off to sleep accidentally, after a bit of time, just happy to be back.
