Guppy's 30th Birthday Party

[guppy_sandhu]

Having collected everyone from the bar, Guppy leads them back through to the house, where they enter through the kitchen.

The living room furniture has been mostly moved out of the way, and that's where the most of the party has been set up. The sofa and some chairs are around the edge of the room, and there's music playing. The kitchen is a bit small so the food is being taken through into the dining room. Also a little on the small side, but enough for purpose. All of the baby gates are open on the ground floor, but not on the stairs.

Upstairs, the spare bedroom has been set aside for any little people at the party. It's a bit quieter, with baby-sized food, some toys, and a DVD of Pingu playing.

Guppy nods.

"Once this one's settled, then I'll be ready for more. If one should come along before then, well, we'll cope, but I want to make sure we do our best for Alex."

"I know you will. You're a good papa."

Beat.

"I hope Alex likes the present I got for him. There was a catalog that had the most adorable plush octopus and when you squeeze his little arms, they make music."

"Oh thank you, he loves soft things." Guppy says. "We've discovered that he'll let us dress him more easily if we're wearing fluffy fur-like gloves. It's a bit more fiddly but he doesn't kick up anything like as much fuss."

"Oh good! Do you think he'll like the sounds, too?"

She's sure that they could always take the batteries out if he doesn't. Or if they don't.

"The catalog also said the plush smells like vanilla. They were right. It won't be a problem, will it?"

She can always magic up a solution if it is.

"Hm, well he's an unpredictable little guy, so best thing to do is to try it out on him."
