Upon opening mine and asking where they came from, I chuckle and scratch the back of my head. "Eh. I know a guy how knows a guy who knows this girl who knows this, I guess you'd call them a space-Scylla, who modifies gaming consoles and PCs for cross planetary and cross platform gaming! Let me know your gamertags once you get them set up!"

Nina happily munches on her own bag of, surprisingly, blood based space candies as Noodle compliments the ones she gave him. Bryce is a little relieved that he isn't being completely drained at the moment. Mary hums as Noodle gets excited over the puzzles. "Glad you like them! Though, I wasn't quite expecting you two to have a little one to share them with so soon!" Nikki returns the malicious grin to her little sister. "Let me know which ones are your favorites!" I mouth "Good luck" to Noodle before pretending to be more interested in the half empty wine glass infront of me just as Nikki and Har look towards me.

Ashie smiles and nods. "Fifty earth years in the past on a trading outpost in the Cerberus IV system! They said they where framended, fertended, fermented fermented! Fermented local berries glazed over some kind of gelatin made from space-maggot bile!" My mother almost chokes on one she was sucking when she heard "maggot bile". "Nana! Are you ok!?" Ashie cries as she and everyone else panics for a moment. "I'm fine, I'm fine! Just... caught me off guard sweetie!" She says as she drinks some water to try and soothe her throat. She then pick up another one and sneers at it, before shrugging and popping it in her mouth.

"Ok, here I go!" Nicole then picked up the gift from Celeste, and squealed with joy! "Oh momma! I've been wanting to go one of Vakir's hiking trails for so long! Ashie, come here sweetie! Oh and these fit too! How did you know her size?" She then hugs Celeste tightly and gives her several kisses on the side of her face. "Thank you so much!"

"Dawn! You shouldn't have" she gets on her tippy toes to kiss her older sister's cheek and hug her. "Well Scott, looks like we might have plenty of time to try out all the things in Nikki and Noodles new books on this cruise!~♡" I chuckle as I look at the cruise tickets. "Yeah, we wi- wait what?" She then pulls out Harley's gift set and examines each part of it intimately. "Har! This is really sweet! Oooooo! I can't wait to try out this one!" She holds up a white, green and dark orange one labeled "Winter Taiga" "Huh, Nikki actually looking forward to a bath! Well done Har- *cough* Ooh!" Nikki elbows me in the gut for making a joke about her and her bathing habits.

"Thank you Noodle for these swee- oh wow that's sour!" She blinks rapidly as she moves the bright pink and black candy around in her mouth. "Really? Let me try one" I reach for the bag only for her to push my hand away before holding both sides of my head and locking me into a deep kiss where she passes it to me. "What do you think?" she asks feigning innocence. " I think you're a cheeky little liar about the candy and maybe a bit drunk now." She holds up a finger and a thumb in a punching motion to say "only a little". She then picks up the card Ashie made for her and smiles. "To the bestest momma ever! Love, Ashie. Awww I love you too!" She hugs our daughter and gives a few rapid kisses on her check before nuzzling noses. "I love you too momma!"

Finally, it was time for my present. She opened the small gift bag and took out an even smaller red velvet ring box. I gently took it out of her hands, got on one knee all over again, and opened the box. She covered her mouth with both her paws, her flames barely fighting off the tears from streaking down her face and her tail whacking against her tail at unbelievable speeds. "Oh Scott! You found it! I-I cant believe you found my wedding ring!" ''She does not have to know where I found it. Just that it's here and it's 100% clean now!'' "I also got it resized so it doesn't go rolling off again. May I?" I gesture to her left paw, which she graciously extends. I gently place it back where it belongs on her ring finger(ring pad?), and kiss her deeply and passionately before resting my forehead on hers. "I love you Nikki. Now, and forever." She smothers me in kisses before holding the sides of my head and resting her forehead on mine, hot tears streaming down her face almost extinguishing her flames which only have gotten more intense. "I love you too Scotty! Now and forever!" My sister Nina rests her head against Bryce's shoulder and smiles, while my mother wipes a few tears before resting it on her chest and holds Celeste's paw with the other.

"Is it time for cake now!?" Ashie barks up, tail wagging in excitement for dessert.
