I can’t wait until everyone has left so I can get out of this dress. Not just get myself out of it, but also until I can get the others out of their clothes too. I want to feel them against me, get lost in them for a while, not having to think of the outside world. Just be with them and not think of anything else but of how much I love them.

Phoenix hasn’t kept her hands off me throughout most of the dinner, constantly sliding her leg along mine, or her fingers on my arm, and Bane has even been bolder with his hand on my thigh, moving it up little by little, squeezing slightly, but they’ve otherwise been behaving.

Which is good as our parents are all right within view, and I don’t want to be caught doing anything naughty with them by our parents... Yeah, not ready for that level of awkward yet. We’ve reached many levels of awkward but ‘being caught by your parents during a heavy petting session’ hasn’t been one of them, luckily.

But I still have to wait, dinner is nearly finished, but not quite... Opposite me, Dewy is on Dad’s lap, already fast asleep, and Lynn is having trouble keeping her eyes open as she takes small bites of her dessert.

I look at Dad, who gives me a soft smile, nodding at the little one in his arms. “Maybe it’s time to get them to bed?”

I nod, carefully getting up, but that seems to bring the whole table to move, as everyone stands up. I glance around, a little confused. What’s going on?

Bane leans in. “You’re the queen, they follow your example.”

“Oh.” My cheeks flame up, then I look over the group, our family and friends. “No need to get up.” Though, I really wouldn’t mind at this time, but I’ve got to stay a good queenly host... “I’m just getting the little ones to bed.” Blaze starts to make an unhappy sound, but when he meets my eyes, he stops. Yeah, I thought so too.

All three of them are ready for bed. It’s nearly midnight and they’ve been up since early this morning.

“Please, continue eating, I’ll be right back.” I hold out my hands to Dad, who hands me Dewy over the table, the boy small enough that this isn’t too hard, then Lynn and Blaze both crawl under the table to get to my side.

Okay, so maybe they could use a lesson in manners, but I can’t fault them for not wanting to walk past all the other people, have them stare at them, or just have that attention on them.

“I’ll come with you.” Rune also stands up, and together all five of us walk out of the room.

I try to ignore the sounds behind us. I know it’s probably not ‘proper’ of me to walk out like that, but I really appreciate the excuse of taking care of the little ones to get away from all the business and just have a little calm for a while.
