Ariadne sat in the lobby with the children. Cassandra had pulled one of the toys over and she and her brother sat on the floor in front of her, playing with it. It was a car and the two of them rolled it back and forth, occassionally running it up their mother's leg as though it were a road.
She smiled softly, trying not to seem concerned. Since discovering the twins'... differences... she'd been a little worried. Not that either child acted oddly. They were very empathic toward each other and other people, open, happy. So far, they'd had a very ordinary childhood. At least compared to her own.
(Here Ariadne paused to dwell on the strange circumstances of her younger days, brought to life as a preteen and raised by a psychologist.)
But there were the 'birthmarks', too. She hadn't known what to think of them. I mean, how do you miss such a thing on your own children?
She recalled when Cassandra had pounted to her brother's "butterfly"-- a little tribal-like design on his left ankle. Hers was on the right, a perfect mirror-image. What were the odds? Was it part of the serum-- the fertility serum? Were there other side-effects?
Helenus had placed the car in her lap. She felt the weight of his hand on it and looked down, meeting his eyes as he gazed up at her. It was such a surge of pleasure feeling his love of her and feeling him feel her love in return-- like an echo of the most perfect symphony lasting after it played. She'd loved Lex and felt his love for her... but he had never been able to share that.
Whatever is different about them, they are such loving children. 'Different' doesn't mean 'wrong.'
With that comforting thought, she began playing with the children.

Dr. Julianna closed the door to her previous appointment and dropped the folder into the nurses desk. "I'm telling you, some people need to calm down when getting an appointment done." Feeling exhausted, she heard the children and peeked into the waiting room. "Another client?" The nurse nodded "For a check up for her kids." The nurse handed the folder to Julianna. Now these were her favorite types of appointment, there was always some sort of thrill when it came to the little ones the clinic had help create. Closing up the folder once more, she opened the waiting room and checked the folder on last time the name. "Miss Ariadne? I'm Dr. Julianna, I'll be preforming your check up. Please follow me to door five." She held the door open for them to come through, giving the children a smile. Children could be so cute, once she was ready she'd have her own.

Helenus grew shy at the approach of the doctor and she scooped up the toddler while Cassandra, more independent, kept one hand on her mother's skirt.
They entered the room and she sat both kids on the tall examiner's chair, knowing they'd like the novelty.
"Do you treat all of the twins from the clinic?" she asked while the duo looked around the room. Cassie was smiling brightly.
"I gotta butterfry," said the girl, showing the doctor her ankle and pointing with one soft little hand.
Ari watched the doctor's expression and opened herself more to her emotions ((OOC NOTE, Ariadne is an empath-- but not psychic)). She seems to be in a good mood... that's a good sign. She wouldn't be calm and warm if something was wrong. This reassured her and she smiled, running a hand through Hel's hair.
