Sage cuddled in for a while, groaning slightly as the kids woke and started to cry. They hurt his head at the moment, and he felt bad about it but he also couldn't really get to them to help or stop it.

Celeste kissed his head. "I've got them," she whispered to him softly before going over with Odessa and Xander to calm them down, change them and feed them.

Sage nodded, sort of half sitting up on the bed and watching Celeste care for all the kiddos. It really was just the sweetest thing.

Celeste smiled down at her children as she took care of them all.

Sage was content to just watch them, but when Liz crawled onto the bed with him, he wrapped his arms around her happily, turning his attention to taking to her

Celeste glanced over at them and smiled.

Sage chatted with liz for a while, but soon enough she'd asked when they could go home. He glanced over at Celeste, a frown forming on his face. "I'm not Sure sweetheart," he noted. "Soon."

Celeste's smile faded. They had to destroy the Empress before they could go home. "Do you want me to explain it to her?" she mouthed to Sage.

Sage ust shook his head with a sigh. How would they explain it all? He wanted the little girl to feel safe. "There's some things we need to do before we can go home," he told her softly.

Celeste sighed sadly. She wouldn'tve explained it, not really, but dumbed it down for her, make sure she felt safe here but that they couldn't go back home for a bit.
