Her name is Alpine 🥰

Siri 💞
Aw!
Chris is laughing. He asked if Sebastian picked the name, but he won't tell me why.

Ryles 🌻
Seb mentioned the name. Bucky had a cat in the comics named Alpine that apparently looks just like her.

Siri 💞

We need to meet her ASAP 🥰

Rylee's hand stopped and Sebastian looked up at her upside down from her lap, trying to read her reaction.

Sebastian sat up quickly and turned his body to face out, staring towards the floor and speaking with his hands, "This place is small. Good for us, but for three? I don't know...like..we have the office that can be a nursery bu-"
