#maybe he sneakily measured her in er sleep

[izayoichan]

It had been like he had feared after a fairly good Christmas eve came the aftermath, and as much as he hated it, he had to which meant River refused to go, cancel their planned Christmas visit at River’s mom’s place. 

“Are you sure you are up to this princess?” “Yes, all I need to do is sit here on this sofa.”

River pressed his lips to a thin line, which made Rylan sigh slightly and shake his head. He knew he was worried, but he could rest just as well on this sofa, as he could sitting in his own bed. 

“If you feel too tired…” “I’ll tell you, I promise.”

Just as River was about to say something, the doorbell interrupted him, Rylan just nodded at him to go get the door, Lobo already there wagging his tail eager to greet the ones on the other side of the door. 

“Hey, mom…”

He didn’t get any further before he had his arms full of his little sister, whom he lifted up and spun around, wondering how she had already got this big. 

“Thank you so much for my Christmas present!!” “Your welcome!”

Although she had gotten a little bigger, her fascination with princesses hadn’t gotten any less, it was just what princess it was that had changed over time, so they had gone with the fact that the current craze was Mulan. As River puts her down and lets her mom and Douglas in, Meadow quickly removes her outdoor clothing, then runs to find Rylan who has Felix with him on the sofa. 

“Hello uncle Rylan, thank you for the present.” 

She smiles and hugs her uncle gently, knowing all too well from what River had told her to be careful with her uncle. 

“Your welcome, did it fit? We weren’t quite sure about the size, you grow so quickly.” “It did! It fit me perfectly... My brother didn’t sneak in and measure me while I slept, did he? “Hmh… “

Rylan looks at River shrugging his shoulders.
