Did she have amazing timing or what? Mariel had only been in Germany a few hours when she received word that her new great nephew would be arriving soon, ultimately being born the next day. It was obvious he was waiting for her arrival to make his, or at least that was what she would tell herself.

And though part of her reason for visiting Germany was to see the new baby, she had also wanted to spend some time with her sister and her family, which she felt she got to do quite a bit this visit. The brunette would have to visit more often, work permitting. Having not seen Ethan, Minerva, and Gunnar in a day or so, having gone to a musical with Meloria the night before after a day of solo shopping, Mariel wanted to stop at their house again before she had to go back to England the next day.

They were expecting her, right? Carrying a gift bag filled with presents for the new baby, Mariel stepped through her sister's fireplace and flooed to the new family's house.


Ethan took advantage of the quiet while Gunnar was a sleep in his bassinet to make a snack. He was kind of dragging today with as little sleep as the baby had during the night affecting his own sleep, though he knew it was probably worse for Min. While in the kitchen, he opened up the cookie jar and peeked inside, frowning a bit as he saw only one inside along with a bunch of crumbs. Still, he pulled it out and shoved it in his mouth while he looked around the kitchen for something else to make. He felt like he had forgotten a meal or something.

A sandwich or something maybe.. He opened a few cupboard doors before deciding BLTs sounded good. They always sounded good. He walked over to the refrigerator and pulled out some of the necessary ingredients. Once the bacon started cooking, he began slicing up the tomato, then looked up as he thought he heard something from the living room.
