McConn House September 8th 2024 (fixed future)

Kiara looked and sighed again, "Not that I am aware of.... however it is Excessum I don't trust...."

"Please, Eglentine.... just be careful hmm...I want my children to get to know you."

Eglantine nodded, rising from the chair to pat the bed. "You really should not be up, Kiara." she admonished.

Kiara sighed, " Sitting down in a chair is hardly concidered "up" Eglantine...." she said, but nontheless she got out of the chair and went back to the bed.

"You can't blame me for being worried about you though..." she said laying back in the bed omce agian.

Eglantine rose and used her cane to move to Kiara's side on the bed. "I can blame you. Mainly because you worry far too much." Eglantine stated, her voice stern.

Kiara had to restrain from rolling her eyes, "Like that is anything new Eglantine, it is who I am I will always worry about those I care about, you know that" she said.

Eglantine smiled. "You can worry to often though, lieb." she patted Kiara's hand, while summoning another cushion with a thought. "Here."

Kiara smiled softly glad that Eglantine was at least smileing now. "I am the first to admit I am a worrywort... it is not like I can help it" she muttered.

Laughing slightly at the offered cushion she took it and put it behind her aching back, "Thank you Eglantine, I am going to have so many pillows up here there won;t be enoungh room for anything else" she said in amusement at the mountain of pillows behind her.

Then from down stares little Rossa awoke form her nap and started to cry.

Eglantine looked slightly amused as her daughter attempted to defend herself.
"I'm certain you cannot." she teased, conjuring yet another pillow and expertly slipping it into a space.
"One can never have too many pillows..." she muttered. "They are as vices. One holding the body from the bed and the others holding it down.

Hearing the his daughter, Ciaran hurried up to comfort her, carrying her down with him to watch the other children play.

Kiara sighed at the sound of her daughter crying, being cooped up in her room all day left much to be desiered. It knawed at her that she could not hold her daughter when ever she wished anymore.

She glanced at her round belly, Just few more months, and she could be done with bed rest... be able to hold her new born and tend to her fussing toddlers. She and Ciaran would be... very busy.

But until then she missed being a mother to the children she already had.

Rossa continued to fuss on her daddy's shoulder...

Kiara was not the only one who missed being around her young daughter.

In her fathers arms she stopped crying, but she was still far from happy. Sniffing she muttered one of her first words on her fathers shoulder.

"mama?"

Eglantine patted Kiara's shoulder once before heading to the door. "Call if you need me, lieb." she muttered, looking rather distracted.


Ciaran sighed both happy and concerned when Rossa muttered "Mama." part of him wanted to run upstairs and give her to Kiara...but he wasn't sure if his wife was sleeping or not. Finally he winked at Horatio, who more or less took the hint, and carried his daughter upstairs.

"Kiara?" he asked softly, entering her room. "Brought ya a visitor."

Kiara beamed when her husband when he entered with her daughter.

"Wonderful, you must have read my mind" she said with big smile. "Whats all the fuss about Rossabell huh?" she asked while reaching her arms out.

If she could get away with getting up and going to her baby she would have.

Rossa wipped her tears away and smiled at seeing her mother smile. "Mama.."

Kiara laughed, " I missed you to sweetheart"

Than she glanced at Ciaran, and smiled to show she was more then happy and willing for visiters. Especialy her family.

Ciaran smiled, happy that his wife was awake and alert. Handing over Rossa, he sat beside her and gently kissed her temple. "Just missing her mum." he murmured.

"How are ya feeling, Ara?"

Kiara held gently on to her daughter, and Rossa hugged snuggy into her mother. Kiara kissed her daughters forehead, and smiled as Ciaran kissed her.

" I am feeling good today love... your daughter is kicking up a storm, and my back doesn't like me today but I can live with it" she said softly as she ran her fingers through Rossa's hair.

"How are you? not been to busy I hope" she said.

Chuckling, Ciaran patted her thigh. "Well, she's her mother's lass, aye." he winked at her, teasing.
"Me day is full of laughter and busy care...this wee one and else." he murmured, tickling Rossa's neck.

Kiara laughed slightly at his comment, as she held Rossa, it felt good to hold the little girl in her arms again.

Rossa giggle as her Daddy tickled her.

"Ah, thats right.. Edan was alright I am guessing? he took quite a tumble off the bed" she said..
