(Doc/S9) Marcus moves before anyone else. He rounds the corner of the living room and into the hall. Marching up to the staircase, he stops at the first step. Looking up the stairs, his heavy breathing slows as he listens to the crying child. Her tiny calls bring a smile to his face and genuine giddiness to his heart. Marcus looks back at everyone who is watching him from the living room, before taking his first step.

His every step quiet and methodical as he clings to the banister. Step by step he ascends till he see's Eva gently exiting the bedroom. She turns around to see Marcus and her smile beams as she steps aside to make way for him. As Marcus reaches the door, he looks to Eva.

"Sapphire and Cyndwella are waiting for you, Marcus. Roxanne and Heide are in there too. They're absolutely infatuated with their new sister. Don't keep them waiting any longer." Eva opens the door slowly, and Marcus pokes his head in equally slow. After a moment he steps inside the room. As Eva closes the door behind him, Marcus is treated to a picture perfect scene of Cyndwella cradling Sapphire as Roxanne and Heide watch in "awe" as their sister cries. Heide looks over her shoulder, her tail wags and she giggles as she sees Marcus. While Roxanne tugs Cyndwella's dress.

"Mommy, papas here." Roxanne squeaks softly, so as not to disturb her newborn sister.
