The long, lanky girl was a feisty one, and Shale couldn't resist a laugh as she clocked her smaller brother right in the stomach, though his brows did knit in concern for little Radcliffe. Then she was headed his way, and confusion hit her; Padma let out a wail, flailing. They both were crying, now, and it was only a matter of time until they woke the others as well.

"Shhhh, shhh," he whispered soothingly, leaning forward to draw his tongue along Padma's tiny body. He took her ever-so-gently in his mouth and placed her against Pema's belly again, giving her one parting lick before giving kisses to Radcliffe as well. "It's all right. Mama's here. Daddy's here."

His eyes must be full of stars, looking at them. He had no words to describe how overjoyed, how proud he was, of both Pema, for giving them this blessing, and of the quartet assembled. They would grow up well, a testament to their bloodline.
