Roisin giggled happily when the lady lifted her up and tickled her nose. She even looked a little bit like Mummy with that nice hair. Roisin put her hands up to the lady's face experimentally to see if she would do what Daddy did.
Malachi watched, the feeling of tension still constricting his chest but Frida surprised him, being relaxed enough to take Roisin into her arms. Something was going on, he hadn't dared to mention the twins to her for months, she had seemed so tense when he did. He watched both Frida and Pippa fuss over the babies, his grin hiding the concern about Esme that was whining in his brain.
"She's adorable isn't she." Frida said to Malachi when she looked over to him, still holding onto Roisin and catching his smile. It wasn't meant to be a question, but like usual, her tone seemed to indicate one even though it was not. She was assuming that the baby was the reason for his smile.
"Oh, you'd like to see?" The woman said sweetly to the little girl who was reaching towards her face.
"Go right ahead." Frida lowered her head a little bit and let Roisin touch her...making sure that her earrings were still hidden. She chuckled a little bit,
"Just don't pull my hair out, okay? No pull." Frida gently straightened out one of Roisin's curls and shook her head meaning 'no', then did the same with her already fairly straight hair. She gave a wide smile and adjusted Roisin so that both of them were more comfortable.
"You're lucky you've gotten the chance to see the two of them since they were born." Frida said to Malachi, a smile still on her face, looking almost like it were plastered there.
