"She's inside," Alethiro answers with an inward sigh of relief. "Are you hungry?"
Juhi nods. "Yes, I did."
Celine looks to make sure Honey is done before looking back at her daddy. Nodding her head she calls Honey to her and scoops her up. Giving her daddy a smile she says, "We hungry, we eat now."
"Are you ready to get up?" She asks before yawning.
After a while, she barely manages to get a washcloth and crawl over to the tub. Wetting the cloth with some cold water, she brings it to her face and tries to get the feelings of nausea to go away.
Juhi sits up and stretches. "I think so."
Alethiro sets down some food for the dog before slicing up a banana for Celine.
She couldn't be tired and grumpy today, it was Elena and Kama's wedding. No matter how she was feeling, she needed to put on a happy face and celebrate their special day with them, even if it meant putting on a dress.
Sitting up she yawns and gives Juhi a smile, "Want to go downstairs and see if it's time to get breakfast ready? Maybe I'll actually get some coffee for once."
Celine looks around in the kitchen, "Where mommy?"
Juhi giggles. "Okay."
"She's probably in the bathroom, Celine," Alethiro says. "She'll be here in a little bit, okay?"
Celine doesn't respond, but runs to the bathroom.
Looking inside she sees mommy on the floor looking icky. Taking a step inside, she stays back from mommy. A little scared at finding her on the floor she asks in a quivering voice, "Mommy?"
Looking up from the floor as she holds the cold cloth on her face she says, "Hey baby, mommy isn't feeling very good right now. I'll be out in a minute okay?"
Celine's lip trembles, but she nods.
Turning around, she runs back to the kitchen to find her daddy. Going to him she tugs on his pants, "Mommy sick, mommy sick."

Elena awakens with a violently ill feeling. She bolts upright in the bed and sees Kama awake. "I'm sorry..."
She hops off the bed and runs to the bathroom.
Letting out a quiet sigh, Kama gets out of bed, heading to the bathroom after Elena.
Elena leans over the toilet, retching as Kama walks in.
"Okay, I will check on mommy," Alethiro says. "Stay here and eat your banana, Celine."
He heads to the bathroom and checks on Arista. The elf puts a hand on Arista's shoulder, casting a spell to suppress her nausea.
"Bad morning, huh?" Alethiro asks his wife.
Celine nods her head, and goes to sit at the table with her banana.
Feeling his loving presence moments before the nausea starts to dissipate, she puts a hand on top of his and nods slightly.
Keeping the cold rag on her head to help with the headache that the violent retching brought about she says, "Yeah...sorry. It looks like it's gonna be one of those days." Looking up at him with her slightly ashy looking face she gives him a weak smile, "Thanks for that love, it might give me enough time to get a little toast and tea in me. I feel a little better, but I don't want to push it."
Sitting on the floor still, she hangs the used washcloth over the tub before holding a hand out to her husband, "Could you help me up please honey? I've been down here for a little bit and some things are feeling kinda....numb."
Shamara jumps down off of Rajni's bed and stretches as she waits for her mistress to get up.
Shaking her head, Rajni gets up and puts on some warm slippers before going to her sister's bed and holding out her hand, "Alright then, let's see what's what."
Juhi takes Rajni's hand. "Okay. Should I put my robe on or do you think it's warm enough?"
Alethiro takes Arista's hand and helps her up. "It'll get better eventually."
Looking toward the window that she drew the curtain on she shrugs, "It didn't feel that cold when I went over to the window, but if you want, we can take your robe downstairs and if you feel cold, then you'll have it. How does that sound?"
As she stands, Arista holds onto Alethiro for a moment as she makes sure that her feet will hold her up since they felt all tingly and everything.
Thankful for his supportive presence as well as his healing abilities she nods, "I know...just having you with me makes it better already. I...I would kiss you, but I'm all icky right now."
Alethiro smiles. "Maybe later then."
Juhi puts her slippers on and grabs her robe. "Ready."
Despite her fading grey pallor, Arista's cheeks darken.
Finally feeling a little more steady, she lets go of his hand. Picking up the washcloth, she goes to the sink. "I'll be out there as soon as I can okay? I just want to wash my face one more time and get this icky taste out of my mouth." Giving him a loving smile, she starts trying to wash some of the ick off of herself.
Rajni nods and goes to open the door for Juhi, "After you." She says, before following her sister downstairs.
Coming up behind Elena, Kāma draws back her beloved's hair, holding it for her as she gently rubs her back, humming soothingly until she finishes. "I am sorry beloved. I ssuppose anothe easy day was too much to ask for."
"It just had to be today..."
Juhi bounds down the steps two at a time and goes into the kitchen.
Alethiro smiles again. "I'll let Celine know you're on your way."
He returns to the kitchen. "Mommy's feeling better, she's coming."
Rajni shakes her head, "Juhi, be careful...the...nevermind." She says, following her little sister into the kitchen. Knowing that if she tried going down the stairs at that pace she'd likely fall and bust something.
Starting to clean herself up, she gives her husband a nod. "Thank you honey."
Celine looks up, a piece of banana in her hand. Cocking her head slightly to the side, she regards her daddy with a dubious expression for a toddler, "Pwomise?"
"I promise."
"Okay." She then goes back to eating her banana.
A few minutes later, a slightly better looking Arista enters the kitchen. Going to her husband she gives him a kiss on the cheek, "Thank you so much honey." Going to her daughter she smooths back some of the curls back from her face, "How bout you sweetie, are you being a good girl for daddy?"
She nods and shoves another piece of banana in her mouth.
Arista looks at their daughter, "Celine, one piece at a time. Mommy doesn't want you to choke on your food." Going to the stove she grabs the tea kettle off of it and fills it with water before setting it back on the stove. Looking over at Alethiro she asks, "What would you like for breakfast this morning love? I need to cook for quite a few people anyways."
"You know I'm fine with whatever you make," Alethiro answers. "Maybe you should see if Pandi, Theon or Dau have a preference."
Priya sits in the kitchen, sipping on some tea. "Well, good morning, sleepyheads."
"It's still early, Auntie," Juhi points out.
Priya smirks. "On an important day, 'early' is always an hour before you wake up."
Juhi looks confused for a moment. "Is Mama around?"
Priya shakes her head. "She's already busy with final preparations for today."
Rajni yawns and stretches, Shar nearly copies her mistress and then lets out a snort.
Nodding she says, "Alright ya big baby, get outside." Going to the door she opens it to let Shamara out to do her business, "At least the weather is nice today."
Rajni looks around as well, "Where's Elena and Kama? I thought for sure they would be down already." She asks, moving over to the sink to start getting stuff ready for her early morning wake up juice.
As soon as Shamara comes back in she goes to the door and shuts it. Shamara goes over to the table and lays down, daintily licking her paws and grooming herself.
"You know I'm fine with whatever you make," Alethiro answers. "Maybe you should see if Pandi, Theon or Dau have a preference."
Giving her husband a smile she nods, "Okay love, I'll go check on them." Giving Celine a kiss on the top of her head she says, "Stay here honey, I'll be right back." Giving her back a little rub she heads into the living room to check on everyone.
"It just had to be today..."
"Perhaps there is a potion or spell that might help. Either way beloved, nothing will dim your beauty today." the hijra says lovingly as she comforts her fiancee
"I haven't seen them yet," Priya says. "Would you two like some breakfast?"
