"Should I have plans?" Daizi asked with a chuckle, "Now that Dark is home, I get to work more during the day, but that's all." "I am going to see Lex to discuss getting a baby gate so that when she," he nodded to Ivy, "starts crawling, she stays safe."

"I'm certain we'd find a place, I just didn't know what we'd need," Daizi said as she cooked, "I'm sure there are options. It is too early in the morning to stress, we'll figure it out."

"I wonder if you could rent one," Daizi mused, "Or rent time in the studio where you can have more private practice, until you can afford one of your own. How big are the wheels, anyway? Do we have space we can store one?"

Dark looked at the phone, it taking just a moment for it to register because of the early morning, and then he exhaled slowly, "It would seem so." "Didn't your instructor say you didn't say you don't need one of your own until you were more advanced?" Daizi asked, turning slightly, "At least...

"What are you trying to buy?" Daizi asked, bouncing Ivy while starting breakfast, since if Dark didn't like waking up early, it felt cruel to make him cook on top of it. "Something painfully expensive by the sound of it," Dark replied, yawning as he started the electric kettle so Daizi could...

Dark was not tired of sleeping in late, unfortunately sleeping in was not a privilege afforded to parents of infants, so he came downstairs to make coffee while Daizi followed after him with Ivy on her hip. "I do not know how she has this much energy in the mornings," Dark was saying as he...

Eventually, with some effort, Dark got Ivy back to sleep, and after laying her down in her crib, he smoothed her hair, and stood over her, watching her relaxed little face sleep, and lost a good ten, fifteen minutes or so doing so, but then he came back downstairs, and joined his boys in the...

"Carrying the stroller upstairs will wake her for sure," Daizi said, not imagining they could get it upstairs without jostling her too badly. Dark frowned, stroking Ivy's cheek with his finger, "I am going to risk it. She is going to have a sore neck sleeping at this angle." So, having...

Dark stared down at Ivy, sleeping in her stroller, and with a sigh tried to figure out if it was better to let her sleep in the stroller or try to take her out of it, and Daizi paused as she took off her shoes trying to figure out the same question. She didn't look... the most comfortable, but...

"We're still figuring out numbers, but last year only four of my aunts and my father were able to come, and I know that a lot of my other relatives are dying to meet her in person. It's going to be a lot of fun, and very tiring." Daizi told her, "but you may be invited and get to experience it...

This was good news. "That will make things simpler for your family, I am sure," Dark replied, proving once again he was better at navigating a conversation than he admitted, "That is why most often we fly to Egypt to visit Daizi's family--it is easier for only a few people to travel a small...

"I didn't." Daizi replied quickly, unable to fight back her crooked grin, and Dark couldn't help bit chuckle very quietly at her joke. It was the speed of it. "Considering how we met, I do not think we were particularly surprised," Dark told her, although he knew it might be a tiny bit...

"It is summer break so I have much more free time. I am more than willing to talk with you by your schedule." Dark answered, "We know where each other lives, it should not be difficult."

"That sounds more than fair," Dark agreed, "and thank you. Despite my own beliefs I can assure you we will pay whatever price you deem fair, for better or worse we are the exact home I would not sell to."

Dark nodded, "I have nothing but respect for artists who do sell their work, and I do not mean to come across as if I believe those that do are sell-outs. My opinion is the way it is because I... find it difficult to..." He paused, searching for words he was satisfy with, "balance the fact all...

Daizi turned her head to the side, "We had to talk about something. It's easier to talk about something that isn't overwhelming in a stressful situation." "Did you have a reason for this gate? Or is it just to see theoretically?" Dark asked, trying to figure out exactly what the intention...

"The gate idea?" Dark asked, squinting as he tried to remember what had been said about a gate, and Daizi tugged lightly on his arm. "You had talked about making a wood and iron gate with her," She reminded him, "when we were on the way to the hospital." It took a few moments, but eventually...

"Oh, native plants are wonderful!" Daizi said excitedly, "You get wonderful pollinators that way, I try really hard to only plant what helps them out, although not everything I plant is native." Since she couldn't see Lex's yard or where she had the colours, she provided some advice about what...

"Thank you," Dark responded with a nod, "It means hello. Well. It is one way to say hello. You may also say ahlan and a number of other greetings." He looked across her painted yard, and then said, "You seem to have been busy. It is a good day for yard work."

It was surprising to both of them that Xander wanted something big but Alec preferred something more low-key, because had it been up to them, they would have guessed the opposite. "You have time before you get old to decide," Dark said, teasing Xander lightly. "Daizi's birthday is next...
