Baby Shower
Adjusting the skirt on the dress, she smiled, it fit perfectly, showing her stomach without it being too much. Something she found quite a lot of the dresses and outfits she looked at did. Resting her hand on her belly, she took a moment to realize that she would soon be holding the twins and hearing their cries as they were brought into this world. Something that would both break her heart and bring her joy that she could not wait to feel. Catching the time on her phone as a reminder popped up, Dahlia figured she should make her way to one of the common rooms so she could have plenty of time to decorate. Well, what things she didn’t have done the night before. Grabbing her water, and bag and calling to Moros to come, Dahlia then thought about if she should put on shoes or not. By this point her feet were swollen nearly consistently, making her love for not wearing shoes even better. So, Dahlia went without, deciding to walk barefoot, not that she thought people would mind her doing. Waddling through the halls of the ministry, Moros would caw at her teasing her, causing her to shoot a glance at him. After some steps she stopped to catch her breath, it was beginning to get harder and harder to walk around the ministry. ‘If only I could fly or teleport.’ She thought to herself before finally arriving, she opened the door and smiled. It was perfect, the large crescent moon cut out with a cloud and text that said ‘Twinkle, Twinkle little stars do you know how loved you are’, was a stand-out decoration of the room. It even had a few twinkling fairy lights. “Isn’t it perfect Moros!” The bird flapped its wings as it landed on her shoulder.
Once inside, Dahlia set down her water and book, Moros taking a spot watching over her. She began to decorate, putting up moons, stars, and clouds and taping them to places she thought that they might look best. It was all coming together slowly, and it was just like she had envisioned it. She could hardly contain her excitement, soon the room would be filled with smiles, joy, and laughter. Something she figured everyone could use after the recent events. Not to mention it was a moment where she would be surrounded by her friends and those who made her life better! All to celebrate the soon-to-be birth of the twins. Turning on music she began to sing along to Dreams by Fleetwood Mac, her voice filling the room. After hanging up what was left, she began to decorate the table putting the star table cloth long the table and puffy clouds made from cotton balls that she made. Once it was decorated, Dahlia put out the little thank you gifts, little handmade purple soaps that read ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, from Dahlia’s shower to yours,’ and some Italian candies. Next, she turned to the food table and did the same with the tablecloth and clouds, then put little labels where the food would go once it was ready and brought to the room. “Ohh Moros, can you bring me the cups? They are in the bag over there.” Motioning the Raven did as she asked, after setting them up, Dahlia took a step back and admired her work. It was perfect, she was sure all her friends would love it. Quickly, Dahlia snapped a photo she sent to Copia with a smiling face and a text that read ‘it's going to be an amazing day my love! I love you and I will tell you all about it later and will try to take photos!’
The song changed to Edge of Seventeen, her hips swayed as she danced a little around the room. She had worked hard to create this event in the short time she had, right down to the playlist, once her feet started to tell her to rest she listened. Dahlia took a seat in the chair and put on the sash that read ‘mom to be.’ Dancing in her seat she waited for everyone to arrive.

Mara beamed at Dahlia's response to the lights, blushing a bit. "Its nothin, really." She said, waving her hand in lighthearted dismissal. Soon after the others invited started showing, and she decided to give Dahlia some space, mingling with everyone else after the woman of honor had said her hellos. She stuck close to Nimbus, and grabbed some snacks from Wilhelm's tray of assortments with a big 'thank-you' to the ghoul.
Once Celeste and Klaus entered and said their hellos she made her way over, opting to help Klaus so that Celeste could mingle, and so that Mara herself could be useful.
The energy around was once again jovial, and contagious, though this was a good type of contagious. Though the shower itself was also a bit overwhelming for her. She would keep to herself, she decided, and just be able to help and enjoy the company.
