"Eh, why bother? It's the last day. We can get all the sleep we want after," Xander shrugged, walking out. Alec paused and looked at Dark worriedly. "Will you be coming? Are you alright? Were you hurt too badly? Did it affect one of your tattoos?"

Xander jumped when he came face to face with Dark, and he eneded up standing and staring blearily while Dark stared back at him with a strange expression. "Sabah al-khair or sayi'?" Xander asked blandly, asking if it was a good morning or a bad morning. "Glad you're home." "Sabah al-khair...

Much later, Ivy did wake the twins, who sat on the floor bleary-eyed and highly confused. What had happened? Where were they? What time was it? Alec eventually peeled himself up off the floor and leaned over to talk to Ivy, not sure what time it was and if she was awake to be fed and...

"That's what neighbors are for," Lex told him. Once they were in the car, she made certain they didn't need anything at any of the stores before driving them home. "Call me or text me if you need anything, okay? Night or day. I'm a light sleeper, so I'll hear it. I know you've got loads of...

"Wow, that's quite the story," Lex said, suitably impressed. "You don't do anything by half, do you? I knew that from the moment I laid eyes on your house. That was one of the reasons why I bought that house even though it wasn't in a neighborhood I loved. I thought, like you or hate you...

"Now that's a dramatic story!" Lex grinned. "I wasn't great at relationships, so I took a break to focus on Toby for about ten years or so, and then when I felt I was ready, it turned out the dating pool dried up when I wasn't looking. Ah, well. Better alone than with the wrong one, and I...

Lex chuckled at that. "I think life is chaos. Some of it is a lot of fun. Some of it, not so much. But you two have each other, so that'll make it easier to handle. Like teenagers!" She groaned. "What I wouldn't give to have had a helping hand with Toby when he was a bit younger...

Lex took her time locating some water for the three of them. She could sense that not everything was quite as cut and dried as it had been presented to her, but she wasn't one to pry. Well, occasionally, but she tried not to. It was out of a genuine desire to help, but she knew to butt out...

Lex raised her eyebrows. "Leave and abandon you two here in the wilds of the ER? Hell, no. I might not have been the best at taking my mama's advice, but she did teach me to never abandon a friend no matter how new the friend. But if you'd like a little alone time, I can go see if there's a...

"I get it," Lex assured Daizi. "Maybe not the details, but I recognize that look." She squeezed Daizi's forearm gently. "There's nothing to be sorry for." ~~ "Yeah, everyone's as okay as they can be," Xander sighed. "Daizi's freaked. Dark's checked out. Two teen boys are alone with a...

Lex grumbled quietly as she dug around in her purse. Finally, she located what she was looking for. It was a simple bracelet she'd gotten from a farmer's market in New Jersey years ago. One of the beads was bigger than the others and held essential oils as a gentle smell. It didn't have much...

"They'll be able to fix it without an issue," Lex assured him as she found a spot to park in the ER parking lot. Thankfully, it wasn't too busy. She went around and opened the door for Dark and Daizi, verbally guiding Daizi to what was around them. The door wasn't far, and Lex led the way...

Lex glanced at them in the mirror briefly. "The hand is a pretty forgiving place. If you've cut one of your tats, I bet it can be fixed."

"He sketches? You sketch? That'll save a ton of time!" Lex grinned. "Just sketch me what you want, let me get some measurements, and I'll get it to you faster than building a tomato pie." She paused as she changed lanes. "We'll be there in just a couple more minutes."

"Sure!" Lex agreed without hesitation. "Baby gates are easy and pretty fun to build. Do you have my number? You can text me a couple of pictures of the style you are thinking. Oh, right. Sorry. Maybe your boys can find some pictures? Just reference. I'll need to get some measurements, too."

"How do you feel about making something like a gate as a collaboration?" Lex asked, waving one hand as she drove. She carefully steered around another pothole. "A union of wood and metal!"

"Huh. Nasty slip," she said, glancing in the rearview mirror at them. "We should be there in just a few minutes. Say, have you ever worked with metal?"

"We got this," Alec assured her, suddenly far more confident since Xander was staying with him. "We'll be fine. I promise!" Lex waited just outside the door, and when Daizi and Dark came out, she guided them to her car, assuming they'd both sit in the back so Daizi could hold Dark's hand...

Xander glanced up at Dark's expression and frowned. "We'll talk about it later," he said. Now wasn't the time. Alec met Daizi at the door. "Is Lex going to stay with Ivy and me?" Lex pulled her old, small car around and parked it out front as close to the door as she could get. Then she...

"Okay," Xander said, accepting that. It did explain Daizi's reaction earlier. "Do I get to know the story about why you've been acting like a space cadet?" Lex picked up her keys and tossed the cloth back to Toby, who was standing watching and listening. "Toby, I'll be back later. I'll text...
