If there was one thing that her wife couldn't get enough of, it was aquariums. Lately, she had been thinking that maybe they should move somewhere closer to the coast so that Erin could enjoy the ocean a lot more, where she could go snorkeling or out on a boat and get lost with the sea creatures she loved so much. Mar didn't mind it at all, in fact, she found it really endearing that her wife, who to her was so sophisticated and put together, had such a girlish delight over her aquarium and her sea friends. Mar knew she could be exactly the same way...but with food. She wondered if Celeste would enjoy going to a farmer's market with her and couldn't help but chuckle to herself if her little girl would get as bored with her as her wife did when she too ten minutes discussing jalapenos with a vendor.<br/><br/>Her little girl. It was still so surreal to say and hearing Celeste call her Daddy had made her chest tighten with emotion. She knew that all three of them were anxious and nervous about this living arrangement but she could also see the excitement, the anticipation of things to come. It wasn't just the intimate aspects either, it was the true genuine connection that she was already starting to feel with Celeste every time they saw one another or chatted on the phone. It was how she had come to care for the young woman already so quickly.<br/><br/>"I have not!" Mar called out with a laugh when she realized the conversation they were having, her lips curved into a wider smile. She rolled her eyes affectionately as she scooped up the rice and then poured the chicken and vegetable stew over it. She added after a minute or so, "I just mentioned that some of them would make interesting dishes." She looked up and locked eyes with her wife, giving her a wink and a tender smile. She was joking, of course, she would never break her wife's heart in any kind of way, especially by murdering one of her babies. She mumbles playfully, "You make one comment, and suddenly..."<br/><br/>She walked to the dining room table and began to set their plates down before she moved back to the kitchen and reached for a bottle of wine to open and enjoy with dinner. She paused before she looked over at Celeste and instead of asking her, she locked eyes with her wife and arched an eyebrow, "Should we allow the princess to drink with us?" Celeste was close enough to the legal drinking age that she could drink with them, but this was another way to gently drive home the point that now she had parents and they would make the decision for her on whether or not she would be able to drink with them. She wanted to make sure that Celeste would already see that even in little ways, they were the ones who would protect her, even if she thought she could handle it herself.<br/><br/>As she waited for Erin's response, she looked at Celeste and inquired, "You've sent us an email with your class schedule and what you need to do to get back on track?" It was October and while Mar had never gone to a traditional University, she knew that soon enough Celeste would be on Winter break and she hoped that by then, she fixed some of the errors from the past few months. While Mar wasn't necessarily strict about schooling and education, she was rather firm with sticking it out with something until it was done. If Celeste wanted to continue with her education, then she needed to put in all of her efforts and needed to stop lazying about.<br/><br/>"Dinner is just about ready," She nodded her head towards the dining room, "I didn't make dessert but I'm sure we can order something or I can make something for us if we'd like it." Checking the kitchen, she added, "Celeste, be a good girl and grab the utensils for us." She pointed towards the drawers to the side, giving instructions out and seeing how they both felt as Mar took on her Daddy role and Celeste their little girl role.
