We wrote baby Cari and implied seahorse dad Caspian (with appearances from Rae, Vaeh, and Enderian)
Story below!
Caspian yawned mindlessly fixing Cari a bottle. He wasn't sure what time it was but it was definitely the middle of the night. He dabbed the bottle on his wrist making sure it wasn't too warm before offering it to Cari who latched onto the nip of the bottle. Caspian smiled down at his child, he still wasn't used to the concept but it was a welcome one. Once Cari finished their bottle he put it by the sink to wash in the morning.
Silently he walked through the dark house back to the bedroom he shared with his husbands and settled into the oversized armchair. He softly rocked Cari who was falling asleep in his arms. Soon enough both of them fell asleep which is how Rae found them in the morning.
“Morning sunshine,” Rae smiled as Caspian woke up. Caspian gave a sleepy smile looking at his husband. “Did Cari wake you up love?” Rae asked. Caspian nodded offering the infant to Rae who happily took them.
“Did Aax go somewhere?” Caspian asked.
Rae nodded, “He went to spend time with Ulysses, Vorago, and probably Casus.”
“More family bonding time?” Caspian asked, watching Rae bounce Cari. Rae nodded, smiling. The quiet was quickly interrupted by a small figure running in.
“Can I hold them daddy? Can i? Can i?” Vaeh asked, bouncing. Rae smiled at the child and glanced at Caspian.
“If you promise to be extra careful with them”
“I promise!” Vaeh exclaimed. And with that Rae carefully handed her Cari. Vaeh was unnaturally calm as Rae showed her how to properly support Caris head.

Caspian smiled watching his little family. Today he had come with Rae, Fenris, and Vaeh to visit Enderian. He was holding Cari and watching Enderian interact with Vaeh.
“Mom there's someone else for you to meet,” Rae said, gesturing to Caspian to come closer. Caspian quietly moved closer to his husband and looked at the goddess.
“Hello Caspian, who's your little one?” Enderian asked, her voice much calmer than the last time he'd had a face-to-face conservation with the (ex)goddess.
“This is Cari, Raes their dad,” Caspian replied leaning on the taller man. He watched the realization wash over the woman's face.
“They're so small,” Enderian spoke, her voice softer than before. Caspian adjusted Cari as they reached their small hands out toward the ex-goddess. Bright green met dark green as Enderian offered a hand to the infant who happily grabbed onto their fingers giggling. “Hello little one,” She said with a smile.

“Cari sweetheart what's wrong?” Caspian asked, yawning. The only response he got was the soft cries of his child. He had tried everything he could think of.
“Sunshine? Its like 3 am why are you up?” Raes' raspy voice called out. Caspian turned to see Rae standing in the doorway of the living area. Rae spotted the crying infant in Caspian arms, “They wake you up again?” he asked. Caspian sleepily nodded.
Rae walked over and took Cari from a very grateful half asleep Caspian and started humming the same lullaby Isla had sung to him and that he sang to Vaeh. Cari immediately settled down, starting to fall asleep in their dads arms.
“Your magic”
“I just have experience love, I'll get them to sleep you go get some yourself”
“But-”
“Cas love you've gotten up with them every night this week go back to bed,”
It’s Vaeh’s bday, so here’s ideas I think everyone would give her for gifts.
Rae and Fenris: They bake the cake with her favorite colors.
Caspian and Aax: Caspian makes a toy and then Aax paints the toy to make it look nice.
Cari: They draw something for Vaeh (most likely a drawing of them two.)
Athena and Soul: They both make together something that is custom to gift on one’s birthday from the nether.
Ari and the allays: They get a lot of flowers that will never die and give it to her.
Addie sends a book that she made herself. Addie wrote in the inside “Vaeh’s Photo Album.”
Ulysses makes Vaeh a wolf that’s purple stuffed animal.
Ocie and her family get Vaeh little souvenirs and trinkets.
The Pine family gives Vaeh nature themed things. Bruin gets her a lil cow. Easton gives her a piece of oak. Momboo gets Vaeh necklace with Vaeh’s name and flowers.
Isla makes a blanket for Vaeh with her full name in Ender on it.
Centross gets Vaeh a small sword that won’t hurt anyone.
Will and Alerion give her things from the Aether toys.
And finally, Icarixis glitches a gift into the world for Vaeh. The gift being a small bird stuffed animal with a Quixis symbol on its forehead. And a little potion stand and potion books so Vaeh can learn how to make potions. (Also the birds ask Bruin to get her a bird book but say it’s from them)
the fact that the nightingstar/ghaae family have two small children in their house (if you count cari) and i have yet to see any bluey aus is disappointing. what are you all doing out here
