The Stables, Saturday Afternoon

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

Everything was lovely today, walking with Spirit back to the stables, she couldn't help smiling and blushing at thoughts of Prom and earlier in the morning.

"You're in a rare mood, Adora," Spirit said, nudging her shoulder.

"I'm happy, Spirit. Things are going so well with Edward and everyone is safe for now." It was rare that she could say that and feel she wasn't about to jinx herself with a Horde attack.

"You do realize when you say things like that--"

"Yes, Spirit," she cut in with a laugh. "But I mean it. Nothing can ruin this happy day."

Poor Adora was still so new.

"I told you we'd find mom wherever Spirit was," Hamilton said with only a small deal of pride and tugged lightly on his sister's hand.

"I never said we wouldn't," Madison sighed, following along. "MOM! Spirit!" She didn't want them going inside without the twins. They might never get the door open themselves.

"Adora, I believe you have some fans," Spirit said, watching the small children run toward them.

"Um, I see that," Adora replied, curious what children were doing on the island.

"Hello there, can I help you?"

[heir-to-secret.livejournal.com]

"Help us?" That sent the twins into a quick peal of laughter. "You're a stitch, Mom!"

"Mom?" Adora repeated, blinking a little at the cute blonds. "What?"

[heir-to-secret.livejournal.com]

"Mooooooooooooom," Hamilton said, drawing out the word so she'd understand.

"Don't be mocking, Hamilton, momma says it's rude!" Madison said, hands on her hips.

They looked so much...like her. "Mom?" Adora repeated. "What?"

[heir-to-secret.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, you said that already," Hamilton said, cocking his head at her. "Think she hit her head again, Maddy?"

[heir-to-secret.livejournal.com]

"Don't call me Maddy!" Obviously Madison had priorities.

"Mom? What?" Adora was starting to feel very much separate from herself. There was a distinct buzzing in her ears as she closed her eyes and fell to the ground.

Hamilton peered down at his mother and then back at Madison, "This is so your fault."

[heir-to-secret.livejournal.com]

"Is not!" Madison returned. "You were the one confusing her!"

Spirit was not going to stand here and listen to them argue all day. "Ahem! If I may interrupt this stunning display of sibling rivalry, but Adora seems to have fainted in the confusion. Might you pour some water on her face?"

[heir-to-secret.livejournal.com]

"Right, good idea, Spirit! I'll get the water," Hamilton said, running off and returning with a nice bucket. "Here, Madison, you do it!"

[heir-to-secret.livejournal.com]

Madison rolled her eyes, "Fiiiiiine!" She took the water from Hamilton and splashed it on her mother's face.

Adora sputtered, waving for them to stop with the water. "I'm okay, I'm okay," she said.

And then she looked at them. "I'm a mom?"
