Snippet #2381056

Ashton flitted over to stand between her brother and her dad so that she could hold onto her brother's shirt. Her little hands were turning white with how tightly she was squeezing onto his shirt bottom. The aura from the two families was immense so it made her even more on edge. Then Arthur came over to talk to her brother so she hid even more behind his elbow and looked up at Arthur with her big, blue eyes. She knew who he was, but still stayed quiet.

Baine suddenly perked up his little white head and stopped playing with the yellow pigtails. Something had caught his attention. Without thinking twice about it, the monkey hopped off of Ashton's head and ran straight towards Kalen, pulling itself to sit right on her shoulder. He pulled on her hair lightly as if saying "hi".

Arabella watched Ashton immediately take to Raeburn out of the corner of her eye. She was a little nervous for Ashton because she got so shy. Even though they were adopted, Arabella had immediately felt maternal towards the two of them. Especially towards Ashton since they met before she had hatched. Arabella slipped her hand into Jaimies and gave his a squeeze. Suddenly, Baine took off towards Kalen and she laughed. Arabella's eyes got really wide with excitement and all of her maturity went out the window.

She let go of Jaimie's head so that she didn't drag him or the kids with her so she didn't scare them. She couldn't wait a second more and flashed over right in front of Kalen and squealed with delight. "Kalen!"she shouted, hugging her tightly. She then hugged Desmond with the same enthusiasm, squealing his name as well. Then she looked down at Arthur and grinned. "He's gotten so big!"she said, roughing up the top of his hair. Next she flashed over to Amber and Aiden and gave them the same treatment. She gave the twins a big, collective hug.
