Magdalena, Juan Manuel and Opie sees two cribs in the baby room.

Magdalena, Juan Manuel and Opie squealed.

Opie pulled her head away to look down at the newest person in her vicinity. She was adorable, as all babies tend to be but even at four months old she had a certain charm to her. Her cheeks were full and chubby, her eyes and facial structure round. A tuft of brown hair peeked out from under the small bonnet on her head. She was bundled up in the soft blankets and her wide eyes darted around curiously. She would often coo and her arms would flail. She was...interesting to watch for the young girl who had never really met anyone her age before.

"Say hello to Cristina Opie"

Opie only stared for a few seconds at the baby human, who had her innocent eyes trained on them.

"Her name is Cristina." Juan Manuel repeated.

"Cwist ?" The long name confused Opie and made Magdalena laugh.

"Cristina. Say 'Crist'." Opie, like most two year olds, was starting to learn how to speak.

"Cwistina ?"

"Cristin..." Juan Manuel repeated patiently.

"Cwistina ?" Unfortunately like all two year olds, letters like R were hard for her to utter and often substituted with the W.

Juan Manuel facepalmed.

But Magdalena saws a creepy baby girl with black hair, pale skin and brown eyes.

Magdalena screamed.

"What is it Magdalena"

Magdalena points at a creepy baby girl who is Cristina's twin sister.

"Oh come on it's just Adriana."

Opie said "Adwiana"

Juan Manuel facepalmed "Don't don't you dare say another...."

Magdalena said "Adwiana"

Juan Manuel facepalmed. "Fine. Cristina and Adriana."

"Cwistina and Adwiana." Opie parroted.

Juan Manuel lifted Opie up to see her better. "Say hello."

"Hewo Cwistina Hewo Adwiana !"

The human baby girl only stared back, unblinkingly. After a minute or two she gave a toothless smile and a small happy shriek.
