Gabriel smiled at Apollo's response. He was sure that he was right but part of Gabriel was worried that if his girls did, he would have as much trouble connecting to them as he had with Phryne. Gabriel had a more logical way of thinking and could never really grasp his sisters more creative side. He didn't want to express his concerns yet though the mood was blue enough as it was. Despite his concerns, Apollo's comment did make him feel better. He kissed him softly before turning back to flip pancakes and turn the bacon. "Thank you Apollo", he said quietly.

"It's okay I just hope that it helped." He tells Gabe, knowing that it probably wasn't the best pep talk but he was horrible with pep talks and he knew that Gabe knew that. He wrapped his arms around Gabe holding him close he knew that Gabe would get sick of him hugging him all the time soon enough so he would try to get a lot of hugs in before that happened. He kissed Gabe's neck before moving back and taking a seat at the table watching Gabe cook breakfast. Apollo was terrible in the kitchen, he manages to burn water and had been long since banned without supervision.

Gabriel placed a hand over Apollo's with a smile. "You always do", he replied. He was glad when Apollo didn't offer to help with breakfast though. Gabe didn't feel like burnt eggs with his pancakes. After a while, he piled food onto plates for him a Apollo, leaving enough behind for the kids if they wanted something when they got up. "You busy today?", he asked as he sat beside Apollo giving him his plate. "I was thinking of doing some baby shopping if you weren't", he continued, wanting to keep busy. He nibbled on a strawberry as he ponder just how to best decorate the room that would best stimulate their learning from the youngest age.

"I'm free." He tells him with a large smile knowing that he was free but even if he wasn't he would have blown them off to go baby shopping with Gabriel. "What are we shopping for today love?" He asked taking a bite of his pancakes and then his eggs waiting for Gabriel to reply. He could already see a colourful room with letters and numbers scattered around in flowers and clouds, with beautiful wood cribs and a matching change table and cupboard. But he knew it Gabriel wanted something different that is what they would go with because Gabriel was the one carrying them and he was of the mind that those who carried the baby was the one that got to choose.
