"Oh right, St. Woboldo's." She remembered the name because she'd always found it ridiculous. It sounded like the name of a mental institution, not the name of a preschool. "We'll look into it," was all she said about that, for now, because her darling daughter had crashed into the table.

Tori beckoned her daughter to come sit over by her, mostly so she could keep an eye on her. "Noooooo, we all know that's a hollow threat," she laughed, again, LOUDER this time because it was soooo much fun to annoy Louisa, even after 20+ years. "Come here, Zara darling," she patted the seat next to her.


Naturally this little tornado was going to pretend like she hadn't heard her Dad's voice behind her; she was busy watching Louisa and Mum talk over her head like she wasn't there. She DID skip over to the seat by her mum, though she didn't sit down yet.

"Can Stormy sit by me?" Zara HAD to be sure of this answer before she would plonk herself down. OOPS, DAD WAS HERE. Hopefully he wouldn't mention her knocking big baby Tino over on purpose if she hurried up and sat down and looked ready for cake.

So, Zara did that, grabbing a spoon and a fork and holding one in each fist like a little dictator, and announcing, "I'M READY FOR ICE CREAM CAKE!!!!!!!" In case anyone had their doubts!


Aww, look at her PERFECT husband, hehe. Tori batted her lashes at Paulie and accepted her strawberry ice cream, which she would probably eat three bites of. "Mmhm, it looks WONDERFUL darling." She tossed a napkin at Zara. "Don't get any on your shirt now, hun. I want to take pictures of you and your brother and Storm by the fountain later." They would get sooooooooo many likes from her Muggle followers, come on.

As soon as she made it to the table, she gingerly placed the cake on it, her smile wide and radiating. It was a little scary to look at her mum, but it wasn't her decision! Uncle Paulie did it, so he should be scolded as well if she did.

Not going to lie, it felt like a small betrayal on Zara's part to sit down with her fork and spoon without reserving a seat nearby for Storm. The six-year-old didn't show that she noticed this, she calmly grabbed a seat next to her mum. "We got the ice cream cake, but only to split between Zara and myself!" she quickly added the last bit, looking at her mother from under her eyelashes, the way she knew had a bigger effect on Louisa.


Satisfied that her daughter was sitting next to her, Louisa smiled calmly, "I can see that. So, we're taking permission from the Fosters now. Isn't our life taking a fun turn..." she said the last words while taking her ice cream from Paulie and throwing him a LOOK. "Nice played, sir. I would fear retaliation because... threatening the integrity of one's family unit is a very risky game." Which means Louisa was definitely going to plant an idea in his daughter's head soon! BEWARE.

Ugh. How much did this cost? What was this, caramel? Since when did Storm even like caramel? Louisa wanted to facepalm so hard her forehead would pop out through the back of her head. Let's play her little girl's game, though, and pretend her mother didn't know her. Placing a small plate in front of her daughter, Louisa dragged the knife towards Paulie. "Wanna cut us a piece, o bringer of wishes?" Was she allowed to punch him in his smiling face at this age and in front of their children? She so wanted to.

Storm sighed, relieved, and sat upright in her seat, waiting for her MAJESTIC piece to be cut and placed in front of her. She didn't really know how salted caramel tasted like, but it was a sophisticated flavour. It must taste nice... she was probably going to taste the cake bit because the ice cream was just too cold to eat. She totally liked the ice cream cake, though! And was going to taste it even if just to prove her mother wrong, ahem.


Tino was so happy to be included with Storm, but he WAS still trying to get a grab on that cake. HE could carry it! What, it was only half his size. He kept up with Storm as they made their way over to the table with Mummy and Storm's mom. "Me! Eat!" The little cherub was still only just beginning to speak – much of his speech was unintelligible – but he was getting the hang of some basic vocab. Namely "me."


Paulie scooped up Valentino and plopped him on his lap as he took a seat beside Tori. Tino appeared to be getting antsy for some of that cake, so Paulie quickly slid over the little scoop of strawberry that was for sunny boy. Also his own mint chocolate chip, you know. He tried to spoon up some strawberry for Tino, but the boy was physically insisting on doing it himself. "Fine, fine. You eat your ice cream, Tino." Paulie wasn't going to promise that that boy would keep his clothes clean, though. But hey, that's why they had magic, right? Tori could still get her cute pics for her blog.

He'd wanted to admonish Zara for her unsisterly behavior a few minutes ago, but to be honest, it had already slipped his mind. Lucky Zara. FOR NOW. Could pop back in his head later, so she wasn't totally in the clear. Paulie chuckled when Louisa said something about their family taking permission from the Fosters. "'S that right? Huh. Sounds like a fun turn to me," Paulie grinned before eating a heaping bite of ice cream himself. "Pfffft, I bought the cake! Ya can at least cut it." He was enjoying his ice cream way too much to be bothered with cutting the cake. Sorry, Helen, that was now your duty.

"So, what've you two hens been talkin' 'bout, hmm?" Paulie leaned over so he was all up in Tori's space, his eyes on her strawberry dish. "Gimme a bite." Treats always tasted so much better when they were someone ELSE'S. Especially Tori's.
