Bella very carefully checked just how firewitchy her firstborn was before letting her do anything with hot glass - healing spells or no healing spells, getting burned is reportedly not fun - but now Carinna's allowed to play with the gooey warm stuff as much as she likes, provided she is careful not to get it under her fingernails where it would be hard to get out again. It's better than clay. It glows pretty - Carinna isn't firewitchy enough to heat it up again if it cools, but she can stick it in the fireplace and then pull it back out again whenever she likes. She sits on the floor next to Bella in Bella's workshop. Bella's making lenses. Carinna's making - something.
She thinks it's a pretty something! She holds it in place, covered in fingerprints and glowing bright, till it holds its own shape, and then she gets up and carries it out the door and runs around looking for Grandma Marianne. Where's Grandma Marianne?

It is possible that Sherlock might want there to be little princesses, at some point in the future.

"I don't know yet!" Carinna says. "It might even be a boy. Then it would need a different name from if it was a me-me."

(Indeed.)
Shell Bell puts all the adults in the room on the brainphone network so that they can continue Magic Safety Lectures without worrying about keeping the details of where coins come from G-rated.

[Are you okay? It sounds like I can probably borrow from other Bells and that won't be a big deal.]

[Okay. I'm not short of local magic, anyway, I can probably scale it up really well with just a few judicious wishes.]

"Okay, but don't get too involved in anything," says Shell Bell. "It's traditional when we find new Bells to throw a party!"

"It tends to depend on how closely spaced the parties have been. The last one was when Jane came back online and that was a couple months ago, so we can expect a majority of the invitees, coming up on ninety people, one of them is a dragon. If you don't have a good place to put the party someone else will be happy to host. Not everyone's gotten a turn yet since by the time we threw the first Bell party there were already eight of us."

Meanwhile, Carinna has decided that Grandma should know about these extra children she has acquired. "Graaaaandma!"

"Grandma, there's extras of Sherlock and Bella and Tony in the kitchen from another world."
"That," Marianne says gravely, "is surprising."
She pulls a thread of forest magic and arrives in the kitchen.

"Hi, Marianne," says Glass. "Apparently there are many universes and versions of us appear in several of them. This is Shell Bell."
