As Tapanga weighed her options, a knock came to the front door. Mia broke of from the rest of the group to answer it, while Zahara and Stephie did their best to adorably entreating.
"Come on, please? I always wanted a little sister!" Zahara said.
"Well, I don't know, I'd have to talk to your father..." Tapanga said.
"Speaking of which, look who's here," Mia said, reentering the room with Benny in tow. The former boy had aged another decade on his way over, his skin darkening and his features shifting subtly.
"Hey baby," Tapanga said, walking over and giving Benny a kiss. "So Zahara and Stephie are trying to convince us that we should take Bibi for ourselves. What do you think?"
"I don't know..." Benny said, before noticing Athena. "I'm sorry, who's this?"
"Oh, sorry," Mia said apologetically. "Benny, meet my sister Athena. Athena, meet Benny, Tapanga husband."
