Mother and baby were home by now. David’s apartment was a family home now though Peyton still had her old apartment. So letting Peyton lie on and leaving her breakfast it was time to tie up the official loose ends. He needed to be put on the database and had just done that with Ella in her pram looking cute. He put a little dress and sun hat on her and they’d next to go to ARI. He wanted to make sure his paternity leave and Peyton’s maternity leave would be long enough. Especially Peyton getting the time she needed. So entering the building pushing a pram Ella was having a nap. He had the baby bag with him as there would be at least one nappy change and two feedings needed. She was a hungry little girl as well as a cute one. First stop was the office he shared with Artemis and sometimes Lucas. The current braintrust along with a potential future member. Artemis Fuller Lucas Roberts open to others in ARI

Babies babies. She honestly did not know if she would have a kid but she was happy for everyone else that had children as she had taken her break and spotted David. She shook her head. "I think the whole point of leave is not to be in the building but I could totally misconcept the entire idea." Still she also understood how hard it could be to stay away as she spoke. "What are the two of you doing here seriously?" Lucas RobertsDavid Lightfeather

In the UK this was as much of a tradition as the baby seeing the grandparents and being fussed over by them. You always took the baby into work so your coworkers could see them. “I’d two reasons Artemis. It’s the way it’s done in my part of the world as your coworkers see the baby. Then they all stop for a tea break and have a look at her. The second reason is to make sure that Peyton gets the maternity leave she needs. It worried her that she thought she wouldn’t get eight weeks off” he replied. Just then little Ella Lightfeather was starting to wake up. Artemis Fuller Lucas Roberts

Lucas was always working so much so that he had taken up a bit too much coffee habit but it could easily be curbed as he made his way down. Aw babies. "Does bringing the baby to work count as cheating?" Permantley partnered up indeed. Babies did seem to do something to people but that was okay too. "Let me wash my hands," he said as he made his way over to the sink. Really he needed to go see his sister's baby too but he was holding off for a minute. Artemis FullerDavid Lightfeather

She nodded. "That's very nice of you. I am glad that you came by and perhaps Avery Ashford will sweep through soon so she can answer your questions," as she spotted Lucas. "Hard to turn seeing a baby down isn't it?" she said. "How are you adjusting to parent life?" David LightfeatherLucas Roberts

Derrick was still new but he heard a bit of commotion as he took a second and made his way around. Was that a baby? "Oh my god, look at the baby," he said as he smiled. "They are so adorable." Lucas RobertsDavid LightfeatherArtemis Fuller

She knew that these employees were not standing around on her watch. "Oh great," she said as she seen they were cuddled around the baby. She kept herself together as she approached them and spoke. "I see what has us all excited," she said as she kept her distance. "I love little ones and I am glad new life has started to be made on the island."

There was a few questions to answer as Ella realised she’d an audience looking down at her. She gurgled and made baby noises as curiosity was starting to form. Not just mommy and daddy anymore. David turned to Lucas and replied “the definition of cheating depends on the question but something magical happened when Ella came along”. Then he answered Artemis’ question by adding “we’re lacking a little sleep right now but she’s so quiet we need to check on her. We’ll find out if she’s a good pair of lungs or not soon enough”. Then Derek and Avery arrived in to have a look. “That she is. Soon enough she’ll know it too” he replied and Avery also spoke. “She’ll grow up free and never have to hide her abilities. She’ll also be the first of many” he mused as Ella started to play with the edge of her baby blanket. Teddy bears would follow soon enough but the soft blanket would do for now. Then he quietly asked Avery “Peyton was worried about the maternity leave. Could we discuss that later on?” Avery AshfordArtemis FullerLucas RobertsDerrick Carson

New babies were like very new and so easily sick but with them working as they did he had only very few worries about that as everyone started to gather around. He took a second and then he seen Avery walk in. She was such a good boss or so he thought as far as he knew anyway. "So adorable indeed," he said as he turned and washed his hands again. One could never be truly careful. Artemis FullerDavid LightfeatherDerrick CarsonAvery Ashford

All of these people worked for her but when it came to her employees she did try to understand what they need. While she lacked the feelings of what it truly meant to care for someone she seen them as people who enjoyed working for her. "Sure and any time that you need something never feel afraid to ask me David, I am not the big bad wolf after all," she said as she laughed.

"It kind of makes me want one but I don't think that my husband and I are quite at that point yet," she said. "So until that time we can happily and easily dote on yours within reason of course," she said. That reminded her she did need to speak to Beau about what he thought about kids.

Now was the chance to speak to the boss as he asked Avery “Peyton really feels like she would need eight weeks off. I could do with two or three. It worried her during the birth”. Artemis remarked too and he replied “sure thing Artemis. Dote away. She loves the attention and you can even lift her if you want to”. Artemis FullerLucas Roberts Avery Ashford Derrick Carson

He carefully made his way over. Though his age and job was a bit too much for a kid now it did not mean that he would not want to see another one. "This is amazing. I mean we were all tiny at one point and time but it always seems so long ago that to see a fresh one is always a thing of amazement." Artemis FullerLucas RobertsAvery AshfordDavid Lightfeather

Heather was still new so when she seen a room full of people seemingly circled around something she immediately thought that it was science related and upon seeing a baby she thought that it indeed was even as she passed out and hit the floor. First times seeing a baby could be a lot.
