When Juniper saw Ciro he wasnt sure how to explain it but he seemed to be more glowing, Juniper thought he may have also gained a bit of weight and he looked a bit younger this way.
He told Ciro all about his trip and then mentioned about the house, they spoke about this topic before he left for Carvina.
''It's good... To be honest we are thinking about moving ourselves from here to somewhere more spacious'' Ciro said
''I thought you liked it here? wasn't there enough room for all of you to stay here?'' Juniper asked.
Ciro smiled and then hesitated for a moment ''That's true but.. well I guess I can tell you as I'm almost stable now..but we will be adding another member to our family soon we would like to move before the winter comes if possible''
Juniper blanked for a moment but the movement Ciro made of brushing his stomach he realised what he was talking about "Oh my god! You're going to have another child!" He exclaimed and ran over to hug Ciro carefully avoiding his abdomen, he had no idea how to act.
"Yeah, It's not due till next year though" Ciro laughed.
''No wonder you are thinking of moving.. '' Juniper said, he hadn't expected Ciro to be expecting. The whole point of his visit was to talk about a possible house move.
''Actually this is good thing, I thought about it and we would like to move further to the outskirts of Capital star and buy some land out there. it would mean we have plenty of room but still close enough to the city, do you have a plan on where you are going?'' Ciro explained.
Juniper shook his head, he had no idea where to go next.
''..Then how about we be neighbors? It would be good to have someone familiar around, plus your famiily also seems to be growing who knows if you may have more in the future'' Ciro suggested
''Yes! That would be great...but I can't really make a plan id need to talk to them all to make sure.." Juniper agreed, he was really happy at the thought.
The two spent the rest of the afternoon discussing plans for their new home and Juniper was beginning to get excited about the prospect of having a place of his own

After spending time together, Juniper went back to the his apartment with the intention of cooking.
He knew pregnant people needed careful meals that were filled with nutrition, so he wanted to cook something special for Ciro. He decided to start by making a herbal nourishing soup and then followed up with a light dessert.
He had found a lot of wild herbs in the wild, a lot were ones were unknown to him but he could use the starnet to identify them. However he was pretty new to them so he took the advice of others and used recipes online for a nourishing soup.
Juniper set himself up in his kitchen, wearing casual clothes he tied around his apron around his waist and set up the broadcast.
''Hi Im back in my own kitchen now, today is just something quick to make. its full of nutrition but light on the stomach and perfect for pregnant or just for those that prefer lighter dishes'' Juniper introduced
He began to prepare the ingredients. First he chopped the collection of herbs he had brought back from Carvina into small pieces and added water to boil the herbs until they softened.
''This will help the herbs deffuse, I like to add a touch of sweetness to it. it's much easier to drink, I happen to have some of this sweet bark that was found on my travels.'' He added a bit of the sweet bark into the water and let it boil.
''The other I will prepare is a soft jelly, it has some cubed fruit and cream. It shouldn't be too heavy on the stomache.'' Juniper explained as he prepared the jelly.
While the herbs boiled he cut the fruit and put the cubes in a bowl of cold water to cool. He placed the jelly in the fridge to chill.
Juniper finished up the broadcast rather quickly as it was only a short recipe.
He was more concerned with taking this over to Ciro while it was hot so he delivered it to his home before getting ready and heading out to meet with Yong-Jin for dinner.
