The Best Present (An ACOTAR fanfiction)

Chapter 30

Mor's P.O.V.
We had gotten back from our amazing honeymoon last night. It was a lot of fun. We had a private house right on the beach, and Kar and I spent amazing days on the sand. We had a lot of moonlight swims and romantic picnics. We went into the city to do a little shopping and to have a meal. Varian had come back with us, and it was quite funny when we winnowed into right into the dining room of the townhouse, and everyone was having a pleasant meal. Long story short, Cassian screamed like a little girl, Amren and Nesta cussed, Lucien continued his make out with Raelia, Rhys threw himself on top of his kids, and Feyre, Azriel, and Elain looked at everyone like "What the hell are these people doing and why am I associated with them?" It was really very funny. We had gotten a good night's sleep and today we were moving everything into the new house and officially adopting Catalina and Diana. We had finished breakfast and assigned people to various jobs. Karshia, Raelia, and Elain were packing boxes of our stuff from the townhouse. Lucien and I were winnowing them to the new house, and Cassian, Azriel, and Rhys took them to various rooms based on what was written on them. Amren and Varian hadn't emerged from Amren's flat. Feyre and Nesta were at our new house entertaining Astria and Cayden. Once all the boxes of clothes, shoes, jewelry, blankets, books, and art supplies were moved, the boys and I started moving the furniture. Cassian and Azriel flew some of the lighter stuff, like lamps and things. Lucien, Rhys, and I winnowed the heavier stuff. We took the bed, desk, and bookshelves. Once all the stuff was moved out, I returned to my old room. I touched the walls, whispering goodbye. This room and this house had been my home for more than 500 years.

"Thank you," I whispered. Someone padded up behind me. When she wrapped her arms around me, I knew it was Karshia. I leaned into her body.

"Are you okay?" she asked softly.

"Yup," I replied, turning into her. "Just saying goodbye." She smiled and kissed me, and then I winnowed us away, looking back one last time. We landed in the new house, where everyone was sitting on the couches talking. I smiled and then we went upstairs to unpack. We unpacked our clothes. I carefully hung up the first painting Karshia had made me in front of the bed. Like it was at the townhouse. We went to the office and put all the books on the shelves. I helped Karshia with all her art supplies, under her direction of course. After we adopted the girls today, we would go shopping for furniture for their rooms, clothes for them, kitchen utensils, and any other random things we needed. We went downstairs to find everyone else. It was currently 10:30 am, and I hoped we could finish the adoption before lunch, and then we would go out for lunch and shop.

"Alright, guys," I said. "We're all unpacked. Sorry but I'm going to have to kick you all out, but tomorrow we can have dinner here. Feyre and Rhys, can we head over to the KK House?"

"Absolutely," Feyre said, getting up and taking Cayden from Amren. We ushered everyone out of the house and said our goodbyes, and we all winnowed to the KK House. We followed Rhys to his office, pushing Cayden's and Astria's carriages.

"I'm going to run upstairs to tell the girls to pack. And say goodbye to their boyfriends," Feyre added. Karshia and I laughed. Rhys pulled out some documents and handed us each a pen. We filled out some information and signed a couple forms. Just as we finished, Feyre came back down with the girls. They walked inside, each carrying a small bag.

"Ready, daughters?" Karshia asked, grinning. They smiled back.

"Ready, Moms," they replied. We waved goodbye to Rhys and Feyre, and then I winnowed all three of them back to the house. They put down their bags and chose their rooms. We had a total of four bedrooms, one used by Kar and I and two used by the girls. We went out to have lunch. We were walking and Catalina decided on a taco place. I loved tacos so I agreed. We sat down and ordered.

"So, what do you want us to call you? Because you can't be Mom and Mommy. Too similar," Diana remarked.

"I want to be Mama," Karshia said. It suited her.

"I'll be Mom," I finished.

"Great!" Then our food arrived, and as soon as all of us were done, I paid and we left the restaurant to go shopping. We started with furniture stores, which all said they could deliver the pieces by tonight. Catalina picked a brown queen-sized bed, with a turquoise comforter and pillow cases, highlighted with silver. We had also allowed them to pick a paint color, since we would paint their rooms next weekend. Catalina picked a lilac, similar to the rest of the house. She also bought a dresser, nightstand, desk, and bookshelves that matched the bed. Diana also picked a brown queen-sized bed, but with a comforter that looked like it had been painted with watercolor. It looked very nice. She also had a matching dresser, nightstand, desk, and bookshelf. She picked a cream for her walls. Karshia and I picked a utensil set, along with other kitchen materials. Then we headed for the clothes and jewelry stores. The girls tried on lots of crop tops, skirts, shorts, jeans, shirts, and coats. Most of their favorites we allowed them to buy. They picked out a few pairs of shoes: sneakers for school, sneakers for training, knee-length boots, ankle boots, and flats. The each picked out two pairs of earrings and two necklaces, and then we were done with clothes. We stopped at a stationary store, where Kar picked out some art supplies she needed and girls got pencils and other things they needed to do their homework. Finally we stopped at a special store. A weapons store.

"Girls, choose carefully. These weapons will become very special to you, and they will be the weapon you probably choose to fight with for your entire life. We will come back once you're trained with other weapons," I explained. Karshia also got to pick a weapon here today. My three girls walked into the shop, examining various weapons. Karshia returned to me the fastest, with a sword. It's hilt was black, and it was made of steel. It wielded well. I nodded. Then Catalina came back. She held two daggers. There hilts were also black, but, like a ribbon, there was a blue stone inlaid in it. It ribboned up the hilts to the blade, where right before it, a blue stone was laid, with all the ribbons leading to it. Diana also came back with a sword. Unlike the others, her hilt was gold. It had intricate designs on it, and the steel blade was sharp. They all chose good weapons. I paid the owner of the store and we headed home, bags in our hands, and weapons sheathed at our sides. Our last stop was the grocery store, before we got home. We all unpacked the groceries and set up all the kitchen stuff we bought. Then went upstairs to help the girls put their clothes in their closets. We collapsed on the couch, and within five minutes, the doorbell rang. It was the movers. They placed all the furniture in our rooms. We placed some remaining clothes in their dressers, and they stowed their new weapons carefully in the dresser. We gave them each a spare sword and dagger, which the stowed in the shelf beneath their desks for easy access. We set up their beds and all their school supplies. We ordered dinner, to tired to cook, and then went to sleep, exhausted.
