"I'm pretty sure that this will be Life's hidden home in the future." Umbra said as he explored the forever growing Reapertale, and even though his childhood memories were a bit faded, this looked like the place where the friendly goddess had babysat him.

"Pretty!" Sora squealed, in the way that a two year old could, toddling over to where a patch of sunflowers grew.

"Wait Sor Sor!" Kip cries, chasing after his twin, with an amused Solas following his tiny siblings.

Humming, he pulled out a picnic blanket and he set it on the ground, followed by a large picnic hamper holding a large amount of goodies.

"Don't go too far, your father will be here soon!" He called to the trio.

"Yes Mama!" The two Godlings, and singular Guardian, replied. Smiling, he sat down on the blanket, watching the three children chase each other around the clearing. Sora and Kip, the Sky and Dream gods, were much easier to manage then the quads. Kip, like what he represented, liked to nap and he had startling crimson eye lights, and Sora had eye lights the same shade of a clear sky.

Umbra was pretty sure that he saw clouds drift across those eyes, the powers of Gods showed themselves in strange ways when they were children... But he was glad that he didn't have to chase them right now, because he was pregnant.

This forth pregnancy was their choice this time, with no weird reactions to mushrooms, flowers or by fate.

They hadn't realized how fertile they were, once they had removed their own protections, as it had only taken one time for Umbra to catch.

Other than Solas, he didn't seem to be able to carry anything but multiples. It was Twins, again, and with this forth pregnancy, he knew how to feel all the Souls he carried, so no surprises, like Easter had been.. hopefully.

He was five months along, so he wasn't too big, yet.

"Hi Love." Searcher smiled as he appeared, he had removed his upper clothing, and he was adjusting his tool pouch. He was currently working on the woodcraft that Reapertale needed, after he decided to remove the more indoor chores to the wetter and colder seasons.

"Hey, like our chosen spot?" Umbra asked stealing a kiss.

"Papa!" Sora and Kip cried, running up to the older god. Solas came over to them too, but he happily cuddled up to his mother.

"I do." Searcher told him, as he returned the kiss, before he picked up the twins, making them squeal. They loved using their father as a climbing frame.

"Can you look after the twins tomorrow love?" Umbra asked smiling happily, as everyone began to pull the food from the hamper.

"Yes.. I can." Searcher told him. "I'll be adding padding to some of the chairs, so they can tell me if they're comfortable."

"Hmmm.. they'll have fun." Umbra said, adjusting Solas's position, a bit. "Solas and I have to head to the light temple tomorrow."

Searcher nodded his head as he adjusted the position of the twins. "You're going to start creating some of it's defences?"

"It already has some, but Solas wanted to add a few new traps... and he can't sing them into existence like I can." He replied.

"And if I know our little hell child... He's going to enjoy creating traps that will annoy Fear..."

"It's funny, Solas is such a sweetie as long as he's with me." Umbra said bewildered, but since Solas was created to be the light to his darkness, both of them were happier when they were together.

"He just takes after us more when we were kids... Both of us were hell children when we were just as young as him."

"Um..." Umbra said, looking at him with a funny look on his face. "I'm pretty sure that he didn't take after me then." Geno had been very pleased with Goth as a child, calling the tiny Death God a good miracle child.

"You know how that changes when we ate sugar, when we were kids..." Searcher mumbled, but he knew that the hell child part of Solas had come from him.

Umbra continued to give him confused looks.

"You didn't act like a hell child when you were high on sugar, when you were a kid?" Searcher asked him.

"No... " Umbra continued being confused.

"... Oh... I guess that he got the hell child genes from me... I was a little terror whenever I was high on sugar, when I was a kid."

Solas smirked, with his face hidden from his mother. Ser should be glad that he was his Father, or he would have run the other off for getting in the way of his time with Mama.

Originally, he was a Guardian/clone of Ser, but he morphed into his own Soul and self, due to the screw up when the Fates grabbed Shades... And he was just like Ser, who wouldn't share Umbra with anyone, and would turn into a devil if they tried.

Well, except the Palettes.... Maybe...

They were very a like.

Umbra, of course, had no clue of this.

Searcher smiled, and he nuzzled his twins.
