Happy Birthday Riku

Sunday, June 30, 2013

We all sat around Cloud’s dinning room table exhausted. It had been a long day what with it being Riku’s birthday. The little tyke is two know! Aranel made him a TARDIS cake. He’s so taking with the TARDIS Playhouse he wanted a TARDIS of his own. But Cloud said no since they don’t have much of a backyard, so Aranel made him the cake.

He got so many gifts! Aside from the cake, everything was island themed. I couldn’t really tell you why, it just was.

We found out that he really likes The Avengers, so his room is Avengers themed. And he got every toy from his own sonic screwdriver to a basketball hoop and basketball. Cloud seems to think the kid will be athletic.

Sephiroth even took a day off from whatever he was plotting to join us. He’s still not all that happy that Zack and Cloud adopted Riku, but he’s coming around. I think he’s happy that Riku’s happy. He clams to still be looking into Xemnas’ whereabouts. I don’t see how he has the time!

“So,” I say, “You think Riku enjoyed his party?”

“He’s two,” Izzy responds, “And I planed it! Of course he enjoyed it.”

I just smile. Knowing that the kid is going to be raised by two of the nicest people I know comforts me a lot. He’s better off here.

“He really loved the cake,” Aranel commented.

“I could have built him his own playhouse,” Izzy protested.

“No,” Cloud said. Izzy stared him down. It’s really bugging her that Cloud wouldn’t let her build Riku a playhouse. I think she’s still sore that she never really got her way with the house.

I just shake my head. I love my friends. They’re all crazy, some of them crazier than crazy, and I wouldn’t have them any other way.

“Well I think it’s time I took my crew home before something gets broken,” I say getting up from my chair.

“You mean your boys managed to go a whole day without destroying something,” Izzy asked. “Call Rufus Shinra, it’s a miracle!” 

“They do have their good days,” I insist. “They’re just rare. Besides I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow.”

“I think you’re starting to show a little sis,” Aranel comments.

“A little,” I say looking down at my belly.

For the most part, I don’t look any different… to most people anyway. I can tell that, just a little. By next month the doctor will be able to tell us the sex of the baby, because we don’t already know. He still doesn’t believe that I have premonitions about my babies. Even after being able to tell him the sex of all three of my boys. He thinks I’m just a really good guesser.

“Boys lets go,” I call to a choir of “ah man” and “do we have to?”

But soon enough we’ve said our good byes and head home. The boys’ head in and start a game of laser tag, but after about three rounds they’re all pasted out in Loz’s room with the vest still on. I have to get Sephy to help me get the vest off and put them to bed in their own rooms, well Kadaj in his room, Loz in his bed and Yazoo out in the TARDIS which now has a custom made pull out couch in it. If he wasn’t completely rotten before, Izzy will have him spoiled by the end of the year.

I’m going to try and talk Sephy into going with me tomorrow. I hate doctors! Unless it’s The Doctor… that’s different. I may also look into getting borderlands 2… just for Tiny Tina. Izzy showed us this video montage of her the other day and now I’m kind of hopping Kairi grows up to be just like her. Is that odd? I don’t think that’s odd, but I’ve been told I’m weird.
