Ala sat in Barton's park on the grass watching her son who was toddling about yanking up dandelions and dragging his blanket around as he did it.

Caroline sat on a swing in the park; she gently pushed the swing a bit by shuffling her feet on the ground. "Mia Moore!" She cooed kissing a tiny bundle of pink blankets in her arms. Caroline pulled back a corner of the blanket and grinned.

Mia gazed up at her mother, her eyes wide and bright. She was so alert and happy as she made little gurgling noises.

Ala chuckled "Slow down Surion son, not so far from Mama" she said having to get up to follow him

"Flowers Mama" he informed her as he started in the directions of the playground area of the park with Ala in hot pursuit

Caroline glanced up from her bundle of love and smiled, she had awaited the day Mia would meet Surion. She called from afar with a giggle. "Ala!" Caroline lifted a hand and gave a little wave as the other held onto Mia cautiously.

Ala looked up from her gaze on her son "Hey there Caroline" she returned the wave and hurried to catch up to Surion so she might steer him in the direction she wanted him to go

Surion looked up at her when she did "Goin that" he pointed away towards the slide that Tinania had taken him down when he was younger

Ala shook her head "No Surion This way" she said managing to head for Caroline

Mia wiggled her tiny pink button nose a bit as she made little baby giggles.

Caroline smiled at her daughter and mussed her hair around a bit tenderly. "How are you? I bet you haven't seen this little one!" She grinned propping up her daughter a bit, proud of the tiny being that lay in her arms.

"You had your child!" Ala grinned holding Surion's hand to keep him from wandering off "Congrats Caroline"

"Well you know, shit happens..." Caroline chuckled at her 'joke'

Ala chuckled softly "So what's your bundle of joy's name?" she asked

Surion had by now gotten curious and toddled closer to Caroline and the bundle she held

"This is lil' Mia Moore Rose." She flashed her pearly whites as Surion approached her. "Well, well Surion has sure grown into a handsome tot." Caroline ruffled Surion's hair a bit knowing he probably didn't enjoy that very much. "Would you like to meet Mia Surion?" She asked in a soft voice and bent over so Surion could get a better look at Mia.

"Sur hair!" he said drawing a hand to his head but quickly got distracted by the infant, when he smiled he revealed the few teeth that had grown, all of which were pointy and sharp like his fathers "lil" he said looking down at Mia with his his blue eyes his tail swinging back and forth behind himself

"Lovely name" Ala said with a smile and a nod as she watched her son "Careful Surion, gentle" she told him

Mia gurgled and waggled her chubby hands at Surion. She brushed her tiny soft hands against his face happily; Mia was hopping to get a piece of hair to tug on.

"Thank you, aw don't worry!" Caroline smiled then looked down at Mia. "Be careful Surion sweetie, this one is a grabber!"

Surion stood on his tippy toes looking down at her, he kept easily out of the reach of the infant, well at least his hair "lil " he reached his finger towards her face his finger poked her cheek

Mia smacked her lips together a bit, she grabbed hold of Surion's curious fingers and started to gum one. " mm mm mm"

"No no nonono" Surion pulled his hand to try and escape her grip "Mama lil got" he said, Surion's finger slipped out of Mia's mouth.

She started sniffling a bit, her eyes got big as well as a little pout formed on her lips "mm--!" Her eyes got watery as a little cry sneaked out from her lips, and there was little Mia crying because of an escaped finger.

Caroline pulled back Mia's blanket a bit so her head wings peeked out. "Shh Mia, sweets! Don't cry over an escaped finger." She cradled Mia a bit.

Ala looked on "She likes fingers doesn't she" she said softly

"I think it's the gumming aspect of it…" Caroline giggled.

Ala chuckled "Surion used a stuffed dragon for that for the longest time, when was your little sweetie born?" she asked

Surion watched for another minute before turning and toddling a few feet away to the sandbox looking into it

"A week ago…" Caroline nodded her eyes trailing Surion for a minute then looked up at Ala.

Mia stopped crying, her back wings flickered a bit underneath the blanket and her head wings moved back a bit as if to tell she was a bit upset like an animal instinct.

Ala smiled looking down at her "hey there little Mia, you are too cute to cry" she said softly

Mia gurgled at Ala and waggled her arms in the air.

Ala chuckled letting Mia get a hold of one of her fingers "You are just cute Mia" she said glancing back at Surion

Surion had dropped his blanket beside the sandbox and now was pushing the sand around his tail dragging across the sand as he moved leaving strange tracks

Mia flashed a toothless smile and shook Ala's finger a bit. "Voo Voo!" She gurgled making little O shapes with her mouth.

"Gotta love them at this age Caroline, so very precious" Ala said with a soft chuckle

"Mm hm, I have two now, Ari Fionn, and this little one." Caroline poked Mia's nose. "You guys will have to meet Ari one day; he's an adorable little red head who is just as cute, chubby and cuddly as this one."

Ala chuckled "Enjoy this age while it lasts, my others are all grow and have had kids. and kids, and kids...." her voice trailed off at that fact "Sometimes I wonder if it's them and not my Dragonic side that gave me this gray hair" she laughed

Caroline giggled. "Good thing when Mia's older she won't have to worry about that.." She ruffled Mia's pure cream white hair.

Ala laughed "Yeah but I hope for your sake you are not a great grandmother while you are young"

Surion toddled over his hands full of sand "Ta?" he asked Caroline

"Oo?" Caroline's eyes lit up by the site of Surion's handful of sand. "For me?" She bent over with a grin and took a pinch of sand between her fingers.

Surion grinned his tail swinging rapidly behind him after Caroline had taken some he turned heading for the sand once again

Ala chuckled "Silly boy" she mused
