Elle's face seemed to light up at the appearance of the water bubbles floating around them, bringing a finger up to poke at one-- slightly surprised when it simply bounced away. "That's adorable," she exclaimed, clearly excited to have witnessed the actions of at least one of her unborn grandsons. "You two are so lucky to be able to interact with the boys before they're even born." Relaxing, Nick nodded with a laugh. "Elle got to interact with Kasen a lot when she was pregnant with him," Desmond's dad spoke, regarding Desmond's older brother. Elle waved her hand in response with a light laugh of her own. "Well that was a bit different and unnerving at first if I'm being honest. My oldest son, Kasen, is a telepath like his father and so he'd communicate the strangest thoughts into my head in the few months before he was born," she explained to Ocean.

"Anyway, River and Rayne sound like perfectly fitting names for them. I can't wait to meet them," Elle continued, turning to give her son a disapproving stare. "I simply can't believe you didn't tell us sooner, you know we would have helped you two out with whatever you needed."

Desmond waved her off with a brush of his hand. "Come on, Ma. We've done alright by ourselves and we get to say that we actually did it by ourselves. I don't mind you helping here and there but this is something we want to do ourselves as best we can."

Looking between the two boys his mom was quiet for a moment before nodding and patting Desmond's hand lightly. "I get it, but since we haven't seen you in so long consider our gifts something to make up for a baby shower and engagement party. We left most of the stuff at the hotel but there are some things in the car we'll fetch for you before we leave."
