Mia looked over at Bibi, who was thankfully was unable to comprehend what was going on. "Well... I don't know. Maybe we should talk to your mom, Zahara. She's right in the kitchen with Stephie's aunt."
The two girls nodded, rushing into the kitchen area. Mia scooped up Bibi and followed, her face the picture of parental amusement.
Zahara's mother, by the time they entered the room, had completed her changes as well. Mia looked over at the other woman. They had met at a childbirth class while pregnant with Stephie and Zahara and had been good friends ever since.
Tapanga was a beautiful woman. Her husband, Ben, was a very lucky man. Not that her husband wasn't equally lucky, but Mia was capable of recognizing her friend was attractive.
"Stephie wanted to give you Bibi as a gift," Mia said. She said that Zahara promised you'd take good care of her.
Mia's sister looked somewhat amused by this statement as well.She'd been counseling Tapanga on some problems she'd been having.
"Well," Tapanga said, pretending to consider it. "I'm not sure we have room..."
