"Hello" she smiled at Aiden first as he greeted her. "As well as I can be with double shifts and a pair of toddlers" she sighed but couldn't help but to giggle at the end. "Honestly, don't have twins" she glanced towards Ella first and then back to Aiden. Especially twin boys. In fact, identical twin boys. The girls were absolute angels and always did as they were told. The twins didn't, or even if they were quiet it was quite disconcerting, like they were telepathically plotting their next riot.

She looked at Ella whom she had only seen recently anyway seeing the frown that had etched itself across her face. "What's wrong with you?" she raised her brow, following her eyeline to the pair of old people at another table. "I passed the three broomsticks earlier, its much quieter in here." She didn't fancy fighting her way around school children as sweet as they were.

Double boys as in twin boys. Aiden shook his head at that. "Yeah, I don't know how you do four kids," he started as he opened his menu. "I mean, we've only got Sam and Livvy and we feel so busy with them." Aiden couldn't imagine having four little ones right now. Granted, Samuel and Olivia were both pretty good kids; they were lucky for that. He rested his arm on the back of Ella's chair and absently massaged her shoulder while he inspected the drink selection.

"So how's Freddie?" He assumed that the hubby must have been with the kids now, since they weren't with Trix. And when the blonde across from him starting asking questions about what was wrong with Ella, Aiden just gave a small, amused smile. "Trixie. It's Ella. There's always something to be grumpy about," he teased, then pulled her over with his arm to kiss her temple. Grumpy and still lovable, yes.
