"Play date time." Fleur knocked on Elijah's door.
"Welcome to my humble abode." Elijah answered the door.
"Thank you, kind sir." Fleur walked in, placing Marie down in her box.
"Your most welcome." Elijah hummed.
"Are your boys ready?"
"My boys are always ready."
Fleur hummed and opened Marie's box,"Out you come, cherié."
Marie meowed, looking around her new surroundings.
"Your cousins are waiting to play." Fleur petted her ears.
That's when Horatio wandered in, staring at Marie. Marie tilted her head, slowly walking towards Horatio, sniffing. Horatio stayed focused on Marie, backing up.
"She's nice." Fleur hummed
Rigatoni wasn't as hesitant, immediately walking over and sniffing Marie. Marie purred softly, licking his fur.
"Aw, such a good girl." Elijah smiled.
"Horatio, look at your brother." Reid walked in.
Horatio skirted behind Reid, hiding between his legs.
"He's so shy." Fleur chuckled.
"He's just scared because he's never met a lady before." Elijah pointed.
"Oh, well this is a perfectly behaved lady." Fleur assured Horatio.
Horatio flattened himself to the ground, looking up at Marie and Rigatoni.
"He's getting so big, they both are."
"I know." Elijah sighed,"I remember when we first got them."
"They were all so small." Fleur chuckled.
"Teenie tiny." Reid added.
"Now they're getting old, just like us." Fleur sighed.
"We're not that old." Elijah shook his head.
"We're hitting our mid thirties, and you're the oldest." Fleur pointed at him.
"No, Morgan is the oldest."
"Well..If we're going by that logic, it's Rossi." Reid shrugged.
"Exactly, there's so many older than us." Elijah nodded.
"I could do a rundown on ages." Reid pointed.
"That, uh, it won't be necessary, love." He sighed.
"Okay." Reid chuckled.
"Look, they're all playing now." Fleur pointed.
Rigatoni was jumping around Marie and Horatio.
"Best friends." Fleur smiled,"I'm sorry Derek couldn't come, he's at his other work."
"He works so much." Elijah sighed.
"I know, he needs to slow it down." Fleur agreed.
"I'm sure he will eventually." Reid nodded.
"When he hits retirement."
"Bold of you to assume he'll reture." Elijah shook his head.
"He better." Fleur chuckled.
"He will." Reid assured her.
"Tell me..Have you guys ever thought about kids?" Fleur asked slowly.
"Oh, I'd love to have kids one day." Reid smiled softly.
