Gabel carefully walked down the steps from the large Calypse playroom.
Holding tight onto Cassian's hand.
"Papa jump!"
Cassian spoke out as he jumped down from the last step.
"Woah...that was really something son. Maybe don't do that when you are with mother though."
"Okay papa....fast!"
Cassian pulled away from his hand and started running down the hall.
Gabel chuckled.
"Cassian slow down...you are going too fast!"
Several feet behind Maximillian also giggled, "You have a very energetic son Sir Gabel."
He smiled, "Yes my lady, it seems I do."
When they reached back to Elara's room he shouted out to Cassian who had far run past the door.
"Come back son, come here!"
Cassian turned around and started to run back towards him.
"Mother?" He pointed to the door.
"Yes mother is in here. There is someone we wish for you to meet."
Then kneeling down Gabel brought his head closer to Cassian's ear and spoke in a hushed tone.
"You must keep your voice down son okay?Talk real quiet like this."
"Okay papa," Cassian whispered back.
Gabel slowly opened the door and walked in holding onto Cassian's hand.
The minute Elara came into view Cassian somehow broke free from his grasp and excitedly ran towards her.
"Mother!" He shouted while trying to climb up the bed.
Gabel jolted forward and grabbed him, "Cassian! What did I just say!"
No doubt startled by the sudden noise, Nura began to cry in Elara's arms.
"Shhh shhh...it's okay."
Elara bounced her then turned her head towards Cassian.
"Hell my love...how are you?" She reached out and touched Cassian's face.
"Mother! I fast! Papa slow!"
She giggled, "I am so proud of you for running so fast."
Her hand patted the space on the bed next to her, "let him sit here."
"I don't want him to hurt her."
"He won't. Just sit next to him."
Once Cassian was settled Elara brought Nura closer.
Gabel kept one of his hands firmly on his sons shoulder.
"Son this is your baby sister."
Cassian lowered his head very close to Nura.
"Baby...hello baby."
"Yes, she is a baby Cassian. You must be gentle okay?" Elara kissed her sons head.
"and papa baby."
She giggled.
"No papa is not a baby."
Gabel moved his hand from his sons shoulder to his head. "but I made the baby son."
Elera furrowed her brows, "Do not say such things to him. You will confuse him more."
Gabel laughed, "I'm sorry."
Suddenly a small clinking sound came from behind.
Gabel peeked over at the maid who was setting food out on a table. Beside her stood Lady Calypse, a sweet smile on her face.
