After Kurenai and I devoured our breakfasts, we scooped up Akari and Riku and made our way towards the play room, followed by the rest of the family.
Mikoto watched alongside Cameia from the door before going off to begin cleaning, while Anko gingerly sat on the mats between both her daughters, looking between them with a stiff smile.
Kurenai and I both held in our grins as we watched our usually confident, cocky lover turn into confused mush before her daughters; our daughters.
As for Karin, she was trying her hardest to get Riku's attention, only for Akari to grab her fingers and pull her away.
Like before, Riku was building the blocks up before tearing them down, giggling to herself as she did so, whilst Akari entertained herself by grabbing the attention of those around her, crawling between us all and demanding we interact with her.
During this time, Anko had to alternate her focus between building towers for Riku and holding Akari, both her daughters instinctively traveling over to her and playing with her.
Watching it all unfold was entertaining enough, as Anko continued to gingerly play with them both, her worry about potentially harming them obvious as she gently lifted Akari up into the air, getting her to giggle.
The twinkle in her eyes as she spent more and more time with them made it adorable to watch, and Kurenai grinned over at me as we continued to watch, before turning towards the door when Mikoto returned.
"Naruto and Hinata are here."
Nodding to her, we watched as the boisterous blonde and shy bluenette made their way inside, staring at the babies with wide eyes before joining us on the ground.
Cameia finally entered as well, though I threatened her in with a glare, and she leaned against the wall behind me, her golden eyes following both Akari and Riku as they crawled around.
When Akari approached the large Priestess, we all watched as she poked Cameia's calf, her eyes widening as Cameia flexed her muscle, enrapturing the girls attention as she poked her calf again.
Cameia glanced up at us before returning her gaze to Akari, who eventually turned around when she heard Naruto let out a bark of laughter as Riku once more knocked down a complex tower he had built.
Crawling towards the blonde, Akari began her rounds all over again, before finding herself in front of Hinata, who was blushing slightly.
Reaching forwards, Hinata gently lifted Akari up and expertly held the girl, surprising the others before she muttered "I-I have a younger sister, r-remember?"
Nodding at that, we watched her place Akari back on the ground when she extended her hands towards Naruto again, crawling back over and demanding he turn his attention from Riku to her.
Karin took over for Naruto as she built another tower, before she grabbed a doll and displayed the doll knocking the tower over, making Riku's eyes light up devilishly.
With a new toy and idea in mind, the young baby began to build up her towers and knock them over with the help of the stuffed doll, giggling to herself as everything fell over onto the doll that she had throw.
Looking at Anko, I met her gaze, and with a deadpan stare I said "She is DEFINITELY your child."
The Snake Charmer had nothing to say to that, simply nodding as she watched Riku attempt to stack blocks on top of the doll, though nothing managed to stay upright.
