"Mommy! Mom! Hey! Can I take my bike? Please?!" Sachi called out as she rushed down the hall towards the coat closet where Sana and Tzuyu were currently pulling their sweaters over their heads.

"Yeah munchkin I'll grab it in a second." Tzuyu told her with a laugh as Sachi happily let out a victory squeal.

"Here, put this on first." Sana told her as she took one of Sachi's zippers off the hook and passed it down to her. "Oh, and don't forget to wear your helmet either."

"I won't mommy." Sachi smiled in assurance as she slipped her arms into the sleeves and proudly zipped it all by herself after a few attempts.

"You grab Oreo's stuff, I'll go get her bike." Tzuyu told Sana with a smile and a quick kiss to pressed to her cheek before she and Sachi took off for the garage where they kept all of her outdoor toys.

After putting on her own sweater, Sana grabbed Oreo's harness and let out a laugh at the excited bark coming from behind her.

"You wanna go for a walk, huh?" she asked as she knelt down to put the harness on her, clipping it in before attaching the leash and laughing at the way Oreo's butt wiggled excitedly as the two of them made their way outside.

Sana spotted Tzuyu and Sachi emerging from the garage a few moments later, and after a quick check to make sure that Sachi's bike helmet was on properly and fastened tight enough, the two of them watched as she climbed onto her bike, the training wheels ensuring that she didn't topple over, before Sachi took off down the driveway with Sana, Tzuyu and Oreo walking along behind her.

"We really should do this more often, it's so nice to go out with all of us at night." Sana told Tzuyu as they turned out of their street, heading along the pavement that lead down to the large park at the end of the road.

"We really should." Tzuyu agreed with a smile and a gentle squeeze to Sana's hand, firmly held in her own. "We're already so busy it's gonna be crazy with another little one."

"Right?!" Sana agreed with a laugh. "Last time around I had pretty much her whole nursery set up, and we still haven't even decided on a room yet! It's just way more hectic when you already have a kid, but we still have like 5 months so we don't have to worry yet, honestly I did everything super early the last time because I was doing it on my own and I didn't feel like trying to assemble a crib with a huge belly weighing me down."

"That still amazes me, you know." Tzuyu told her as they rounded the corner and the large park came into view. "I can't believe you really did all of this by yourself, it's incredible."

"It's way more fun with you here though." Sana promised her. "Having someone to share everything with makes it all the more special. It's like a whole new experience."

The park was relatively busy when they arrived, not over the top, Sana was still able to keep an eye on Sachi as she ditched her bike and ran over to join the other kids on the slide whilst Tzuyu tossed a stick around the large grass field for Oreo to run around and chase, but busy enough to make her feel a little self conscious as she stuck her hands in the pockets of her jumper and subtly pulled it away from her body.

Sana wasn't as worried as she used to be about the press following her at every turn, sure people were still extremely judgmental and had their opinions about her but Tzuyu always helped her stay away from all of that. The only thing that really bothered her was when her child, or rather, children were involved. She didn't think that it was fair for Sachi to have her face plastered all over the internet, the idea of a random stranger feeling as if they know her, when she wasn't old enough to decide on her own if it was something that she was comfortable with, so Sana tried to keep her away from it all as much as possible.
