Home under the sun

[Hidamari]

Kiriko beamed a smile as she saw Hera in Ana's arms, reaching the bottom of the stairs she walked to the pair of them. Hera looked over, her hair still very fare, her cheeks puffy and rosy and her lips drooling, she kicked excitedly and gurgled putting her fingers inside her mouth. Kiriko came closer her voice becoming much softer, "Ohayo Hera-chaan.." Kiriko said syrupy, Hera erupted in a torrent of excited cries and Kiriko laughed along "hiyaaa" Kiriko continued with an almost constant beaming smile and look of wonderment at the same time.

Hera reached out to Kiriko with a loud excited cry whom offered the excitable babies hand her index finger, Hera coiled her tiny pudgy fingers around it, Kiriko bubbled in laugher "Hyahaha.. have you gotten our finger? did you? you did... you did!" she squeaked, her voice going even more syrupy and high pitched with each passing word almost, "look at those cheeks... aah, omnomnomnom.." she said as Hera pulled Kiriko's finger to her mouth and bit on it with her bare gums, a very odd feeling indeed. "Hyahaha, Hera-chaan.. that feels strange.. nahaha.." Kiriko chuckled and carefully managed to prize Hera off of her finger resulting in another excited kick from the baby.

Ana smiled watching the two of them, since as Ana understood it, it must have been the first time Kiriko really had a proper chance to play with her sister since she was born. "Would you mind holding Hera for me? si? I need to start putting away the shopping." Ana said calmly bopping Hera up and down whilst she drooled uncontrollably. Kiriko looked a little unsure but keen, having never held a baby before, "Um.. how do we hold her?" she asked hesitantly, Ana smiled "just look how I am and copy.. si? its easy, just one arm under her to make sure she cant fall down, and one arm around her back to make sure she cant fall back, here come on.." Ana passed Hera to Kiriko whom rather awkwardly took hold of her sister and perched her up so she could look over Kiriko's shoulder, Ana stood back and clapped her hands together, "Aah Si Si.. thats right, I told you it was easy, you look so alike.." she said trying to be nice, "do you want to come to the kitchen or maybe do something else you can do just be careful okay?" Ana said picking up a mountain of shopping all of which looked like bags Kiriko would have to have carried one at a time.

Kiriko wasn't listening much, but acknowledged what Ana had said with a semi coherent nod, looking at her baby sister in her arms made Kiriko become warm, a sense of family she hadn't felt since she had practically moved out to live in space to make doing her various jobs easier. Kiriko shuffled Hera upwards again to make her more secure, she bubbled her lips and drooled onto Kiriko's shoulder, out of compulsion Kiriko pressed her lips into Hera's puffy rosy cheeks and gave her a kiss, "Kawaii desu yo! Hera-chan.. hyahaha, mmmmah" Kiriko said again in a syrupy giving Hera another kiss. "Cly! Cly! Hera-chan is so cute!" Kiriko called outwards, knowing Cly would be able to hear her as she was clipped to Kiriko's waist band.

Cly lit up right away, ::we should take a picture and maybe we can print it later so we have one for our desk at work:: she spoke softly, Kiriko bopped around in excitement at that thought, "wow Cly thats a really nice idea!" she said watching Hera's expression as they walked slowly towards the east wing of their home to the living room. Opening the large door they walking into the living room, it was a big room with a huge rectangle mat covered in a thick incredibly luxurious carpet that felt like heaven on kiriko's feet compared to the hard floor around most of the villa, and the sofa were huge also, easily able to seat 4 adults on each of them with 3 to chose from and then the single armchair version near the broad full length windows. hurting her arm a little Kiriko knelt down and helped Hera down gently onto the thick rug, laying her onto her back.

Gurgling and kicking her legs Hera looked up to Kiriko in a strange sort of fascination, unclipping Cly from her waist Kiriko lay down next to Hera, whom shouted excitedly in baby talk and conintued to gurgle loudly with a smile, looking over to Kiriko and reaching for her hair, taking hold Hera pulled at Kiriko's hair and tried to eat it, "gaah.. no dont eat that, its bad to" kiriko exclaimed at the tugging motion of her sisters hands on a small bunch of her long black hair. Ana popped her head into the room to check on them both, not speaking since Kiriko hadnt noticed her and just watched. "Eeeeeew... my hair has dribble in now Hera-chan" Kiriko complaining a little looking at her hair as Hera kicked her legs again and laughed putting both of her hands into her mouth.

Kiriko couldnt help but crack a smile and went to give Hera another kiss on her succulent cheeks however Hera quickly reached out and grabbed Kiriko's hair and face, laughing and gurgling as she did, "oh!.. Hera-chan what are you doing? what are you doing mmm?" Kiriko laughed with a syrupy voice and snuggled into her sisters face, her cheek and hair now covered in drool but she didnt care and felt a powerful love and warmth as Hera laughed and spoke ambiently in baby talk.
