"To work?" Dark asked to clarify, lying Ivy down on her changing table, "Yes. I have nine stitches on my right hand, it went through one of my tattoos, but we requested the plastic surgeon be the one to put them in, so he lined it up properly. I will see when it heals if I need to get it...

"sabah al-noor," Dark responded, correcting their response to good morning as he picked up Ivy, shushing her, "What is this noise?" He asked as he bounced her, knowing she needed a changing. "What do you have to fuss about, my dear?" Then he looked again at the twins, "You may be able to get...

Shortly after Ivy started crying, Dark came bleary-eyed into the nursery, wanting to drop back into bed immediately. Daizi had encouraged him to stay in hed and let her get their daughter, but he had refused because of how guilty he felt for the previous evening's chaos. Over the course of the...

"We'll keep that in mind, thank you." Daizi sighed, glad to be going home. Even though she didn't have to hold Dark's hand anymore, she still was, albeit more gently than before, since now she wasn't trying to stop the bleeding. Once home, she and Dark said goodbye to Lex and thanked her for...

"No, not really." Dark agreed. He may not have spoken up during Daizi's retelling, but he listened. He turned his face towards her, seeing the anxiety written into the lines on her face, and regretted that this is where they were sitting that night. "You can thank the fact my father...

"I don't envy people who are trying to date now," Daizi agreed, taking another sip of water, "I hear the dating world has changed a ton. But at least now you're somewhere new, there are new options, right? And--I was... 22. And engaged to Mohid Al-Khatib, and my father chose him for me. I...

This switch in conversation Dark tuned into, and in his low, steady voice he said, "We have been parents for a year and a half, but we have two sixteen year olds. We are very efficient." Daizi chucked softly, "I don't think we'd have made it if it was just one of us and those three... We'll...

"Thank you," Daizi said, once again speaking for herself and Dark, and handing him the first cup Lex brought to them before taking a sip of her own, sniffing the lavender bracelet again, and nuzzling her cheek against Dark's shoulder, since now one hand was occupied. It might not have looked...

"I appreciate that," Daizi said, "It's very kind of you to be here with us." Still, she didn't object to Lex stepping away for a moment, because it gave her the first time since this happened to speak to her husband with some level of privacy. "Are you sure it was an accident?" "Yes."...

Daizi nodded, and then turned her face in against Dark's shoulder. He was sitting still and silent, a new awareness of his situation washing over him. Still, she caught his attention, and after finishing his paperwork, he put his hand on top of hers, and after getting whatever it was she...

"Oh," Daizi said, really just surprised, but did as she was told. "Thank you." She took a strong smell of it, and then moved her wrist to Dark's face so he could too before smelling it again. "I'm sorry, I just... I don't have many positive experiences in hospitals." ~~ Ivy just curled...

It wasn't until they were in the parking lot that it occurred to Daizi she hadn't brought her cane, but between Lex's directions and the fact she was, still, holding onto Dark, she made it there okay. When they were checked in, Dark did his best to fill out the paperwork with one hand, and...

"I do not have palm tattoos, but it went through one of my spiders." Dark answered. "It just means they have a guideline to fix it, my darling," Daizi cooed, stroking his hair for a moment. It didn't matter to her, then, if Lex was bothered by pda or not. Her depressed husband had suffered a...

"He's an incredible artist," Daizi said proudly, "Almost all of his tattoos are his own designs, actually." "My tattoos," Dark said, the remaining colour draining from his already paler-than-usual face, "They better not misalign my tattoos." "We'll ask for the plastic surgeon, Goose, don't...

"We just want something to match the house that also will keep our baby safe," Daizi explained, still rubbing the back of Dark's hand. The cut was along the lateral side of his thumb, veering just slightly off into his palm, so the back of his hand didn't hurt to touch. "If I don't have your...

Dark squinted, unsure of what exactly was happening just then. He was fully aware he had, while disassociating, slipped and cut his hand. No questions there. He knew he was in his neighbor Lex's car, on the way to the hospital. He knew the year, he knew who the president was. He was fully...

"Wires, sometimes," Dark said, wincing as they hit a pothole and he was bounced, "but I don't do what you do. Why?"

They sat exactly as Lex expected them to, and Daizi buckled his seatbelt for him just to be sure he didn't accidentally injure himself further. Then, after buckling herself in, she sat back to hold his hand, keeping pressure on it with one hand, and stroking the back of it with her other. "I...

"No, she is going to drive us so Xander can stay with you and Ivy," She told him, taking Ivy from him just long enough to give her a big smile and say, "Isn't that exciting, baby?! You get to spend some time just with your big brothers! How fun!" Then she hugged Ivy closely, for herself more...

"Space cadet?" Dark asked, squeezing his eyes shut for a moment. This hurt like hell, when reconnected enough with his body to feel it, "I do not understand." Daizi agreed with the plan and then hurried back towards her house, taking a few moments, again, to steady herself before going back...
