She winked and stared at the other woman as she counted easily, "Not as many as you, of course." The kiss that Erin placed on her lips caused Mar to calm, as it often did. It never mattered how scattered her brain felt, when her wife placed her soft lips against hers, it was like she had been hit with a wave of peace and she was able to think logically, to remind herself of what was important. Erin was right Celeste had seen them before and knew just what to expect. A change of clothes, a stylish hairstyle wouldn't enhance or take away from the moment.<br/><br/>The doorbell ringing pulled her from her thoughts and the excited announcement from her wife caused her smile to widen and she was so thankful for her, thankful that she was excited about this journey as much as Mar was. She knew how careful Erin had been, how she had made sure to protect them as much as possible because regardless of their good intentions there were people out there who...would have taken advantage. But the moment she had seen Celeste and they had chatted, she had felt a connection and she just knew that it would be different.<br/><br/>Turning the food to a low simmer, she wiped her hands with the towel that had been over her shoulder before she followed her wife a few steps behind. The comment Erin called over her shoulder caused her to chuckle and the moment her eyes landed on Celeste, she murmured, "I see. You seem to have found a lost little girl. Guess we should take her in." She had seen the kiss that Erin had bestowed upon the young woman's lips and it had filled her with warmth. Their own little family, Mar was so excited.<br/><br/>"Hi baby," Mar's voice was fond as she stared at Celeste before she took a step forward, "Here, let me take these, and I can put them in your bedroom." A few of her items had come in and she hoped that it wasn't all of it. There hadn't been a lot, really. Focusing on the moment, she grinned, "Excited is good. We'd much prefer you excited than...not."<br/><br/>She took Celeste's bags and placed them by the stairs, calling over her shoulder, "We picked a room for you but we have two more available if you'd prefer those. They're all the same, really, just the scenery." She looked at Celeste and then at her wife, before she walked back to them and placed her hand on the small of Erin's back, "We felt like perhaps the bedroom with less traffic was a little bit better to look at." She leaned over and pressed a kiss to Celeste's cheek, "Welcome home, princess."<br/><br/>There was so much that Mar wanted to ask about, wanted to make sure had been taken care of but she knew it would be discussed over dinner. She pressed a kiss to her wife's temple, "I'm going to check on the food, should be ready in a few minutes. Would you like to get freshened up for dinner? It's nothing big, and you already look amazing, I was just offering in case you needed a few minutes to yourself. You're home now, you're..." She looked at Erin and grinned, "You're with Mommy and Daddy now." It felt good to say it, good to speak out loud what they had been discussing quietly in their meetings.<br/><br/>As she moved back towards the kitchen she called over her shoulder, "You didn't have any trouble finding the place, correct? And your school changed your address and information?" It was important for Mar that Celest continue her education, that she go to school and do better than she had been doing. She wanted her little girl to be as smart as her Mommy, determined and educated. A smile lingered on her lips as she stirred the sauce and checked on the rice, "Just about five minutes, ladies."
