Brianna Ages Up and Welcome to Aidan

In the evening, Brianna had her aging up celebration from toddler to child and she would be going to school and doing all the things that a child should be learning.

...namely things like not grabbing for Mommy's hair.

It was a wonderful celebration that a lot of the family attended. Aging up ceremonies were not a public event in the Chikamori family. They preferred to keep their celebrations to themselves. Of course weddings were another matter. Brianna's cake candles were blown out and she was set on the ground.

And Brianna aged up to child...and ate her birthday cake. She also got herself a new hairstyle.

The party was brief and all too soon, the kids had to head up to bed since it was a school night. River headed to the gym upstairs to work off some of the baby-weight that she'd gained. Needless to say, the treadmill and River weren't friends.

Haruo, on the other hand, went up to the martial arts room and meditated.

Of course, River did interrupt his meditation...

And...they ended up in the shower...where else? Was there any doubt? And then after that they headed to bed.

However sleep was not to be forthcoming for Molly and Satoshi...who were rudely woken up out of a deep sleep by contractions. Sorry, Molly, no food once contractions start. You gotta get yourself down to the hospital...

Satoshi freaked out. What a wuss.

In fact, it got so bad, that Molly just walked out and headed to the hospital by herself.

Are you planning on going? Satoshi? Hellooo? The door's wide open now and she's gone...

Satoshi finally did calm down and headed to the hospital to be with Molly as she gave birth. But somehow, something tells me that unlike Haruo and River, Satoshi and Molly were not really cut out to be parents.
