Cascade sighed as Sirius tossed their niece yet again.
"Sirius you've got to stop throwing Tsuru-chan."
Sirius frowned at her as she effortlessly caught the giggling infant.
"Ah, come on, look at how much fun Tomato is having." As if the universe was out to spite Cascade, the baby only giggled harder at the sound of the nickname Sirius had given Rudolf's child. It certainly didn't help things that the giggling was only making the baby umamusume turn even redder than her skin normally was.
The sound of a cane echoed in the adjacent hallway as Miho walked in and sat on the couch, placing her walking aid down before making grabby hands in Sirius' direction.
"Siri, give me Tomato, I want to hold the baby." Cascade groaned harder.
"Miho, please, I am begging you, Rudolf will kill us if she hears you calling Tsuru that." Sirius put her hands on her hips.
"I swear, that's it. I'm going to the kitchen." She strode off. Cascade looked at Miho in confusion, a small amount of despair blooming in her chest when she saw the smug look on her other lover's face. "Do I want to know why she went into the kitchen?"
"I suspect you're about to find out." As though the timing were pre-ordained, Sirius reemerged from the kitchen right as Miho finished speaking. She walked briskly back over to the couch where the red-faced baby was being held by one of her aunts.
"It's an exact match, look at that! Tell me I'm wrong!" Next to the baby's face, her Aunt Sirius held a ripe, plump Roma tomato. Cascade put her hands in over her face in defeat, silent because she was unable to refute her wife's claim. She heard the digitally produced camera shutter noise as Miho took a picture of the color matched baby-veggie combo, a strangled groan emerging once more from Cascade's throat.
She looked up in time to see Miho texting one handed, and with that same self-satisfied smirk, hit send. The room fell silent for a beat, then another. All three of the adult's heard vibrating from their cellphones, and Sirius pulled hers out, glancing down before immediately cackling.
"Damn, I didn't know Rudolf could swear like that."
A migraine bloomed behind Symboli Cascade's eyelids.
Tsurumaru Tsuyoshi shrieked as cold hands grabbed her torso and pulled her out of her chair by the pool. She laughed and wriggled as the culprit carried her towards the edge of the pool.
"You're looking a kind of dirty, little tomato, let's get you washed off!" So said Sirius Symboli as she bodily threw her niece into the pool, Tsuyoshi laughing loudly as she was dunked unceremoniously into the slightly cool water.
"Auntie! You're lucky I wasn't reading a book or holding my phone!" She chastised Sirius with her words; the mirth in her voice belied her true feelings. Rudolf walked up to Sirius, sighing
"Must you throw her every time you see her?" Sirius laughed heartily.
"She's not made of glass, Rudolf." Both Rudolf and Tsuyoshi opened their mouths, to argue on opposing sides of the argument that was about to start, when Cascade, Raptor and Miho walked out to the backyard.
"Sirius, we've been here for literally two minutes, how are you already arguing with Rudolf."
Tsuyoshi looked up at her aunt from where she was treading in the water, and they locked eyes. She then looked over to her Aunt Miho and received a cheeky grin in response. Tsuyoshi gave in to her inner child.
"Oooohhh, Auntie Sirius, you're in trouuubbblleee~~" She smirked up at her aunt, who looked down at her with a mixture of 90% pride and 10% aggression.
"That's it, we're coming after you, Tomato!" Sirius' declaration caused the usually unflappable Student Council President to squawk out a "We?!?" She was then grabbed by Sirius and they both landed in the water next Tsuyoshi with a splash.
Cascade, already exhausted, went to sit down, dragging Miho with her to serve as her comfort animal. Maya emerged from the house a few seconds later, dressed in a bright red one-piece swimsuit. She scoffed when she looked at the pool.
"How are they already swimming unsafely!?" Raptor pat her on the back twice.
"No idea, but it looks like you're up, Lifeguard Top Gun."
"Goddesses damn it all."
Raptor chuckled as she went off to sit besides Miho and Cascade, content to watch her wife absolutely flounder while failing to stop the Emperor of Umamusume from misbehaving in her own backyard pool.
