The Muffiny Family (Skephalo Triquel) Completed

The Royal Getaway

Skeppy's two weeks with Duckie were going well. He had learned a lot, since he was basically clueless. Sam stepped in a couple times to help him, but overall Skeppy impressed Bad. Bad didn't expect everything to go so smoothly.

Bad laid next to Skeppy, after Skeppy just put Duckie to bed. "I'm really proud of you, you took really good care of him."

Skeppy smiled proudly. He expected his son to be 6 feet under by now. "I know! I can't believe I pulled this off."

Bad smiled back, and cupped Skeppy's cheeks. "You look so much better too, how do you feel?" Skeppy didn't look like he was constantly crying anymore. His eyes were still slightly puffy from being up with Duckie during the nights. Duckie had a habit of waking up at night. Despite the doctor saying he should be sleeping through the nights.

"So...do you think we can go on a vacation?" Skeppy was hopeful.

"Yeah, I think we could. Do you have any ideas? It'll only be a short weekend trip. Maybe we can take a longer one in the future." Bad was more than ready for a vacation. Skeppy deserved it too, he was improving. 

"Hm, what if we go to like a little cottage?" Skeppy suggested.

"A cottage? I'm pretty sure you once said those are for peasants." Bad giggled.

"Well, probably. I think babies and marriage are for peasants, but here I am." Skeppy joked.

"Oh be quiet. You love our life together, don't you?" Bad figured Skeppy was just playing around.

"Of course I do. It's a little stressful...but you know I wouldn't have it any other way. Skeppy eased any worries.

"Good, I wouldn't have it any other way either." Bad cuddled into Skeppy for the night, taking in his fresh scent. "Ooh you showered before bed? And you put the baby to sleep? You're doing the impossible." Usually when Bad had to put Duckie down for the night, he didn't get time to shower.

"Yeah, I don't want to be smelly like you." Skeppy teased.

"Smelly?!"

"Smelly."

Bad took a second to sniff himself. "I- okay you're kinda right...yikes."

Skeppy laughed at him for a minute. "It's fine, I know you've been working hard. Just do us both a favor and shower tomorrow morning."

Bad groaned and hid his face in his pillow. "Ugh..."

"Don't be ashamed, your my little stinky husband."

Bad moved away from Skeppy. "Oh my goodness, be quiet. Go to bed."

Skeppy giggled and got comfortable before falling asleep.

-        <----This thing means there was a slight time skip. A lot of the time I either forget to add them, or add them  when I don't really need them.

Bad and Skeppy were sitting at the dining table. They had just finished breakfast, and were discussing where their vacation would be.

Duckie was in his highchair, playing with his sippy cup.

"So you want to go to a lakeside cottage?" Bad needed confirmation from Skeppy.

"Yeah, I think it would be cozy and relaxing."

"Okay, I'm down for that. So we'll find one to rent for this weekend, sound good?"

Skeppy nodded, "yup! I'm so excited!" Skeppy's mental health wasn't where it should be yet. Despite that, he was going through a good phase. The phase would eventually end, but he wanted to enjoy every millisecond of it.
