Celeste gathered the kids at the table, getting Att his bottle who immediately began refusing and crying, reaching for her instead. Celeste kept trying, getting no where though.

|
Sage aighed when att kept refusing the bottle, but letting Celeste try and figure it out. She'd have to feed him...he still needed his mom.
|

Celeste kept trying. She knew how to bottle feed, she'd done it before plenty of times, but she couldn't figure out why she couldn't get Att to take the bottle. Celeste grew frustrated, feeling awful that she couldn't just nurse normally. "Sage- I can't do it, I don't know what I'm doing wrong," she said, her voice cracking as she began to cry. She took June and Xavier who had began crying from waiting their turn. She moved to nurse them naturally over on the couch. Celeste felt so awful she couldn't provide for Att the way he needed to be taken care of. She felt like an awful mother.

Sage nodded and took att from Celeste with a soft sigh, trying to get him to take the bottle. He didn't want to, but he came around to it. "He just needs some time to adjust," he murmured softly. "It's not your fault," he added
|
|  |
|
|

|
Celeste just nodded numbly. Holding back tears.
|
|
|
|

|
Sage knew it would be hard to adjust, for both of them, but it would just take time. They'd figure it out, he knew that much.

|
Celeste finished nursing Xavier and June, putting them in their playpen. "Gonna go take a shower..." she muttered, going off to her bathroom.
|
|
|
|

|
Sage nodded softly when she said she was going to shower. She probably needed some alone time, he understood that.
|
|  |
|
|

|
Celeste got into the shower, just letting the water run over her.

|
Sage took care of the kids, making sure they had what they needed and then munching on his own meat
