It was something discussed intermittently during the past couple of weeks, and every one of them did have some plan in mind. However, now that it really was approaching she felt that they weren't preparing enough! 

The babies didn't know this of course. At this time, they were intent on uttering the couple of words they had in their vocabulary. Despite knowing only a few dozen words, they were really talkative.

From here, she could tell what they remembered the most from their day. 

"Fwood! Dwishush," Little Meatball mumbled, drooling a bit at the memory.

"Hmm, the canteen food is indeed very good," she said, wiping his saliva. 

On the other hand, Pepper had settled down and was sitting on her other thigh. "Tweachew pweedie," she said, just before turning to her. "Mama mo pweddie," the baby girl added, blue eyes sparkling as she looked at her mother who giggled at her.

"Hmm, Miss Evelyn is indeed pretty," she said. "And thank you." 

Soon, the rest of the family came in and naturally congregated to where the children were (with Beanie sitting next to Theo to see if he needed help). Pepper was still snugly sitting on her mum, while Meatball was taken by Ansel, lured by cookies.

Althea leaned over her husband's other side, using him as a headrest. Garan smiled and naturally wrapped his strong arms around her, making sure she was as comfortable as possible. 

While the family lounged around, Althea brought up the children's birthdays.

"Oh my, time runs too fast!" Sheila mumbled, touching Pepper's soft face. "I remember when you were just born…"

Sheila felt melancholic and teary, touching her own big stomach. "Time really flies…"

"I remember when the pregnant Althea ate a poi—" 

Cough 

Somehow Sheila found a cookie in her mouth, effectively shutting her up. 

"..." 

The rest of them smiled and shook their heads, resuming the discussions about the party. 

When they got to the food, Harold volunteered. He had become good friends with Cooke and their cooperation was dubbed to be one of the dream teams in the food industry.

Speaking of Cooke, he actually found his brother, who was now helping his business. His brother, Cuppin, was a refugee the Belluga caravans found a few months prior. He could not cook well, but he had excellent business sense. 

They had now expanded to several branches within the territory and opened stores in both satellites as well as in Bright. 

The brothers made a partnership with the 'territory' for efficient procurement and sending of materials. It was quite the lucrative business. 

Interestingly, Cuppin was also a bit of an over-sharer and they found more about his former territory, Supreme Territory. The majority of the people there were from the Yuta country, though sadly their Lord was an idiot so they could only suffer.

Anyway, putting that aside, Harold actually had a little surprise.

"Ahem! Actually, there's something I haven't told you yet," he said, grinning as he looked smugly at his teammates. 

"The Twin's Birthday cake—which I will help bake—will be… Alterra's first chocolate cake!" 

This made more than a few people (including Althea) whip their heads, looking at him with bright eyes.

"Is it finally done!?"

"Chocolate?"

"What about my coffee?!" 

He laughed, also very happy. "YES!" he said, as if he just won a war.

The news just came today and he was itching to tell them. 

The two plants—cocoa and coffee—had actually matured months prior. However, there were many reasons why chocolate and caffeine's commercial availability had been delayed. 

The plants developed a bit differently from how they grew in Terran. For one, they came out either too bitter or even tasteless, so they had to adjust a few things. Some adjustments came from as early as the seedling phase or even before they sprouted. 

They had very few successes the past few months, at least for Coffee. However, they consumed their stock weeks ago, so quite a few were having withdrawals. 

Now that that was fixed, the two drinks would finally see the light of day—bringing happiness to many! 

They no longer had to limit their coffee consumption to once a week or less! 

At the thought, they already felt giddy as if they already had caffeine.

Other than those two, honey was also being developed. 

Buggy Pooh found and captured bees several months ago and together with experts, they managed to create honey, which would soon be tested for consumption. 

Buggy was almost always filled with stings the past couple of weeks. After honey was commercialized, he would definitely be awarded a limitless supply of it for his personal consumption. 

"Ah~ coffee and honey-roasted nuts… gosh…" someone mumbled at the side. It was Ansel. His food-related sighs made Meatball look at him, curious. 

Ansel chuckled, teasingly poking at the baby boy's bloated stomach. "Wanna be a bigger ball?" 

Winona, who was carrying their baby, rolled her eyes. "Imagine that weight with his ability…" 

Ansel's eyes twitched as he looked at the baby boy sitting on his lap, innocently munching on a cookie. The image of the baby using his ability while sitting on him appeared on his mind and suddenly he felt shivers run down his spine. 

He lifted up the baby by his armpits, passing him over to his dad. 

Meatball, who was enjoying his cookie, had no idea he literally changed hands. 

Anyway, each one of them started to fall into a dream of finally tasting some of their favorite snacks. Even Althea.

"Chocolate is great…" She mumbled, absentmindedly, as she held her baby girl's little hand. Garan chuckled, and he couldn't help but pinch her cheek a bit. 

Beanie, who was helping his son with his homework, also smiled. He also felt nostalgic. 

Chocolate had been their favorite treat since they were kids. He and Garan would work hard to buy a few little pieces they'd eat during special occasions, though Althea would end up eating most of it.

Time flew and things changed, but some things never do.
