Garan looked at his children hoarding his wife.

Then again, it was natural. He was not soft, while his wife was the softest. It was understandable the kids would prefer to hug her.

Thinking of this, his arms wrapped around her waist and caressed it a bit before they stood up and placed the children in their high chairs.

Because the kids were so energetic, they couldn’t sit still for a long time, which was why they called on to them while they were already halfway through their meals.

Anyway, the babies couldn’t stop themselves from having soft snacks earlier while the adults were preparing so they were definitely not hungry.

Rather, their appetite made them grow more horizontally than vertically and she was already starting to wonder if she should start managing their diets.

"Mwamaa! Fwood!!" Meatball said with that milky voice of his, looking at her as if he was starved. Pepper was also pouting, her cheeks looking puffier than usual.

"..."

"Fine…" she succumbed, and the couple fed the babies the flavored soft mushy food they loved.

As the two children munched and munched on their food as if they had black holes in their throats, Althea couldn’t help but look at her kids again.

Other than their size, they had also grown quickly in other ways.

Next to ’mama’ and ’papa’, the next words they learned were ’hungwy’ and ’fwood’. Then after a few months, they learned a few others (though most of which still related to food).

Terran babies would typically say their first words at 10 to 14 months, while aborigine babies started talking about a month or two earlier than that. Her babies… they started speaking at 6 months…

In overall appearance, her children were one year old but they look almost 2.

She was very worried. Would this pace continue as they grow? What did that imply about their lifespans?

There were just more and more worries. However, during this time, they at least got a hint of how to keep them from using their powers unexpectedly.

The answer was simple: Exercise.

How they figured this out was quite interesting. Before the cruisers, the kids had increased show of power to about once every few days, usually in congruence with the other.

When the cruisers were introduced, this was eventually reduced to about once every week. But when they got used to it and it was no longer challenging, they started exhibiting powers more often again.

The ’training’ with the aether ball was useful, but only to a point. It lost effect when the babies started walking and no longer needed their powers to capture it.

When that happened, chaos abounded.

Sometimes Pepper would suddenly appear outside of her cruiser. She would then cry while crawling because she couldn’t get back in again.

Sometimes, they’d see Meatball floating but holding on to his cruiser, as if using it as an anchor of sorts. It was especially scary when this happened while he was outside.

At the time it was Garan watching over the kids and his heart dropped when he saw his son floating and almost letting go of the cruiser. He immediately used his ability to create a stair for himself to get the baby, who was confused at first and then giggled when he realized his father got to him.

The baby was laughing, but Garan was extremely pale.
