Daedalus had been woken up that morning to two little monsters jumping on him while shouting "Wake up!"
Daedalus of course knew that today was their birthday however he decided to get them back for waking him up. So while they where jumping on him Daedalus suddenly turned over and pretended to snore loudly.
While Daedalus was being attacked by the smaller ones Andromeda, who had been woken up a little while earlier and far more gently, was smiling at the rather cute display. After a while Daedalus sat up quickly while grabbing the now giggling duo in to his arms. Daedalus then said "Happy birthday!"
Reginn and Rose then hugged him around the neck and did not let go. At this Daedalus realised he would be carrying them today.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The entire year prior had been rather interesting, Reginn and Rose where still growing surprisingly quickly and they learned how to talk in around two months, walking even less at around half a month. The two where also deemed incredibly smart with a good eye for crafting though their expertise differed in a similar way to their parents. Reginn was in simple terms a carbon copy of Daedalus while Rose was much like her mother but had a good talent for everything else like Daedalus though not as good a talent as Reginn.
What may not be very obvious is that Daedalus is not actually very talented when it comes to alchemy, however he makes up for it with his intelligence and his love of books. Andromeda was not super talented in much other than Alchemy which only proves to make her focus more time on alchemy.

As Daedalus got up he began piggy backing the two children around the castle without his shirt on. Of course this caused a lot of maids and other female servants to look away while blushing. After a while the tiny ones let him have just enough time to put on a shirt before he ran off.
This led to a grand game of tag around the castle. Andromeda had her work cut out for her with stopping the three from hurting themselves. Daedalus of course went easy on the two and got tagged a few times.
By the time it was two in the afternoon the twins where rather tired, sitting in the living room. Daedalus seeing they where done with tag for the day sighed in relief and jumped down from the ceiling and hugged the two of them. Andromeda also walked over and said "So where is my hug?"
The twins immediately jumped out of Daedalus arms and in to Andromeda's causing Daedalus to say "Traitors."
The twins immediately began laughing while they hugged Andromeda. Andromeda smirked and said "So why don't we go to where the party is being held!?"
The twins immediately started shouting "Party, party!"
Daedalus smiled and said "Okay follow me then!"
With that Daedalus led everyone outside towards a gazebo that had Shaun, Thalia and everyone else sitting around it.
