A laugh did escape her mouth when Hady mentioned that she and Frankie weren't planning on having any more kids. Was four really the maximum? It seemed like they had no plans for stopping any time soon, given their track record. But, alas, she could see why her brother and and his wife were ready to stop. While she loved her nieces and nephew, she knew they (especially Logan.) could be a lot to handle -- she experienced that first-hand the one time she babysat.

"Probably for the best. Have to give my sisters an opportunity to catch up to you both." Notice how she excluded herself from that. Ahem. No matter how much her mother wanted another grandbaby, this time from her, Cora just ... no, just no.

Anywaaaaaaay. Toys for the kids is what they were after now. "Sounds good to me. Lead the way!"
Hady couldn't complain about her gift giving. In recent years she had gotten much better at it, really being able to choose things that spoke loud and clear to her for whomever she was currently shopping for. The more she had gotten to know Frankie's family in all of the years they've already been together, the easier it was. Though there was still that small handful of people that still always puzzled her and made her really put serious thought into what to get them.

Cora's laugh made her smile and she couldn't help herself from asking randomly, "So when can we have you babysit for them all again? You know they miss their auntie Cora." There was a hint of a smirk on her lips showing that she was teasing around. Maybe. Any chance she could get a break for a bit, she was taking it! As much as she loved her babies, she needed a break too. Nova and Melody were really good girls now that they were getting older but Logan was still her little Wolverine. That kid was everywhere all at once. And Bryony, at almost two knew how to play the 'I'm the youngest' card to the fullest already. Not to mention she was Logan's shadow and a biter!

Hady laughed fully at this. "Catch up to us? Oh, they can catch up and double what we have and I'm not having anymore." She was done. Four was enough. Just taking her own siblings and younger cousins for a day so they could spend time with her kids she ended up with twelve kids. It was insanity. This wasn't even including all the Paton nieces and nephews.

"This way. There's a shop close by I know the kids love." Thank you, Frankie for bringing the children in there often enough for them to have a constant up to date list of things they all 'HAVE TO HAVE'. The list of items that was currently folded neatly inside her bag.
