Leda’s POV: six days later

   I tried to sit on the sofa without tripping over Taffy who couldn’t get enough of seeing Joon. Joon was wrapped in a white blanket with fluro green stars on it, courtesy of Wren. She slept more than anything, I was pretty sure that not even Taffy slept that much… The only thing she could compare to was Mikey when he was depressed and was known for sleeping twenty-four hours straight.

Gerard was running around and making sure everything was fine while Emma was cleaning every last inch of the house and Taffy was bringing out every toy she owned, one at a time, to see which one Joon liked.

We had one issue since Joon’s arrival though. Space. Where was Emma supposed to sleep? Gerard and I had no study or anything like that, Mikey’s spare room was now Freddie’s room, Wren and Frank’s house had one room for both kids and the only people who had a spare room were Ray and Maria.

I felt bad, like I was kicking Emma out- she assured me it was fine, but I still felt bad while I dialed Maria’s number. Gerard sat next to me with Joon now, he wouldn’t shut up about her eyes being the same as mine instead of like his hazel ones.

   “Hey Maria!” I said as soon as she picked up.

  “Oh hey Leda… How’s Joon?” She asked and I could hear her moving around.

  “Joon is being a good and quiet baby right now, hopefully I didn’t just jinx us but- I need a favour-” I stopped when I heard a baby crying and instantly looked at Gerard, Joon still had her eyes shut as she slept and hadn’t moved an inch.

   “Uh… Yeah?”

   “Do you have a baby at your place?” I questioned.

   “Er… No. I mean- yes… We’re baby sitting…” Maria said quickly and I frowned for a minute. My cousin was the world’s worst liar.

   “Okay… Don’t worry about anything, I’ll talk to you soon Maria. Tell Ray I said hi.” I mumbled before hanging up, I instantly dialed another number I knew off by heart though.

    “Wrennie?”

   “Yes mommy?” Wren joked.

   “I just called Maria and… I could hear a baby. I know I’m probably just all hormonal and instinctive right now but she was lying about something… Can you pop over there and get the story?” I asked.

    “Really? Dude. I’ll be over there in ten. I’ll call you when I now some shiz, and Poppy dearest is with me right now so I shall take her on my expedition.”

    “Awesome. Don’t forget to report back.” I laughed and Wren made a kiss noise before hanging up, I looked at Gerard who had one eyebrow arched and watched me.

    “Why do girls always have to know everything?” He asked.

   “We just do my love, we just do.” I smiled and kissed his cheek.

Wren’s POV:

   “They totally stole a baby.” I muttered.

  “Nope, I believe they were actually delivered a baby by a giant man known as Hagrid at some ridiculous hour of the night.” Poppy smiled and I nodded.

   “You’re probably right.” I shrugged and turned into their street. Oh, sisters… You gotta love them.

I almost tripped out of my Beatle in my orange skinnies but got my footing before Poppy could tease me. We walked casually to the front door and I winked at Poppy before knocking really fast until the door opened and Ray stood there. He looked from Poppy to me and bit his lip before forcing a smile.

    “Hey… How are you guys? Maria! Wren and Poppy are here!” He called and looked back to us with a forced smile.

I heard Maria doing stuff inside before she popped up behind Ray with the same kind of smile, “Hey dudes… What brings you here?”

    “We thought we’d just pop by.” I said casually and both Poppy and I discreetly looked over their shoulders and tried looking for a baby or any life form other than Darth Vader who was laying in the hallway.

    “Oh… That’s cool…” Ray mumbled and I took a step in.

   “I know right, why don’t we go and sit in your living room? Have I ever told you how much I like your sofa?” Poppy and I tried not to laugh as we sat on their sofa, both looked mortified. Poppy and I scanned the room.

    “How’s Joon?” Maria asked.

    “Joon is great…” Poppy mumbled and then we both saw it- a little, pink baby sock half hidden under the coffee table. “What’s that?” Poppy asked.

    “What?- Oh, that… Maria loves to dress Darth Vader up-” Ray started before a baby started crying and both he and Maria sighed loudly.

    “Aha! Now, show us the baby and tell us everything.” I smiled with narrowed eyes, “And please tell us you didn’t steal it.”

Maria’s POV:

Shit. We were caught out. I looked to Ray who shrugged, “Um… We tried to tell you.” I started and Wren arched an eyebrow at us. “The second time we went to see Leda? Everyone was talking and Ray and I tried to tell you all but you guys wouldn’t shut the heck up, so we decided not to spoil that news with our own- we adopted a baby.” I said in one breath and finished it off with a shrug.

  Wren’s jaw fell and poppy’s eyes widened, “You just adopted a baby? Didn’t tell us? Oh my god…” Wren blinked a few times.

   “Oh my gosh… So where is the baby? I want to see them!” Poppy demanded and I let out a sigh of relief before getting to my feet and heading to our ‘spare’ room that was now decorated in yellow everything for out baby girl, Luna.

I picked the little baby up out of her cot and she almost instantly stopped crying, her big blue eyes kept on my face and she made a little noise before I smiled. “Sweetie, you aunties are here… Well, two of them at least…” I brought her out and instantly Poppy and Wren’s eyes widened.

   “Shit! You weren’t kidding! So she’s really yours? What’s her name? I want to know everything about this little cutie!” Wren said before she and Poppy were crooning at Luna.

   “Her name is Luna- before you say anything she was already called that- her mom was fifteen and didn’t want her and we sort of fell in love with her… She’s noisy.” Ray mumbled and I smiled.

   “Luna? Gosh. It was obviously meant to be, what are the chances?” Poppy sighed with a smile and shook her head slowly. “Wren, are you going to call Leda and report your findings?”

    “Umm…” Wren looked at Ray and I.

    “Don’t worry, we’ll go over there in an hour or two.” I shrugged.
