TARAN,  LLIA,  FINTAN, REAGAN, THORSON & REVNA

Queen Lanecea spent the evening with her children ensuring each was kissed and had their tummies full before they were tucked into bed, the babies in the first two rooms followed by the toddlers. The preschoolers' rooms were on the opposite side of the hall as they were more rambunctious and easily woke up the babies causing quite the ruckus for their poor nannies. 

"Goodnight, My Darlings," Lanecea cuddled Revna and her twin girls, Llia and Raegan, on her lap, the three the same age, as she sat on the edge of their shared bed. "Please try to get some rest. I know you are just so excited to finally have a sleepover with your sister, but she will still be here in the morning. The gods and goddesses will be arriving shortly after dawn and I wouldn't want you to be so tired that you'll sleep through the festivities.

"We'll try to sleep, Mamma," the girls promised, earning one additional hug, Revna included in the squish before the girls tumbled back onto their pillows already giggling. "It sounds funny when you call Mamma, You're Majesty. You're a princess too, Revna."

"Revna may call me whatever she wishes, you two. Goodnight Llia, I love you," Lani kissed the little girl closest to her first.

"Goodnight, Mamma, I love you too." 

"Good night, Revna, I love you and am so happy you are here with us," Lanecea kissed Revna's cheek next.

"Goodnight Priestess Mamma. I love you too."

Revna earned herself an extra hug from the breathless queen who was struggling not to get all teary, but it was too late, her eyes already shimmering with happy tears.

"Oh thank you, Honey - that made my butterfly twirl!"

"Good night Reagan, I love you too," Lanecea stretched to reach the last of the little girls tucked in closest to the wall.

"Goodnight, Mamma, I love you too."

 Queen Lanecea blew her girls a kiss before stepping out of the room.
