"I know. I shouldn't overthink it. Phil has raised kids before. He knows how to take care of Jonathan," Techno and I spent the day together and then Phil brought Jonathan back. Jonathan walked in, flapping his arms, and Techno's eyes widened. "Mh," he whimpered and turned away, whispering. "That's one of the cutest things I've ever seen." He fixed himself and turned back.

"Did you have a good day?" I asked Jonathan.

"He bit me," Phil said and Techno lost it. He broke out laughing and was wheezing.

"That's my boy," Techno lifted Jonathan.

"Do I get a crown now?" Jonathan asked.

"When you're older." Techno walked away with him and Phil limped to the living room. I got him a healing potion and he drank it, healing the bite wound.

"I'm so sorry," I said.

"It's fine. Techno bit my arm once," Phil said.

"As a kid?"

"No. Like, a year ago." I laughed and he smiled.

"I have to head home. Let me know if you need a babysitter ever," Phil got up.

"Yeah. If you wanna stay for dinner, you can," I said.

"No, no. It's okay. Have some family time."

"You're family too, Phil," Techno walked in with a now cleaned up Jonathan. "Join us."

"Okay," Phil said. I cooked for the boys and they all ate their dinner. I let them have their boy time after dinner and took that time to myself to eat. Phil went home and Techno put Jonathan to bed after. I got ready for the night and Techno walked into the room.

"Is he asleep?" I asked.

"Yeah. He had a long, tiring day," Techno said and hid his arm.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Nothing. I'm fine."

"Show me, Techno," I looked at his arm and he was bleeding.

"He bit me," Techno said. I sighed and gave him a healing potion like I had for Phil. "I'm going to teach him how to fight tomorrow. I wanted to ask your permission before I gave him a sword."

"What are you planning on doing?" I asked.

"I'll take him to a cave. We'll find some zombies or skeletons and fight them. That's all. Most likely zombies. Then we'll move to skeletons when he gets better," Techno took his cloak and crown off, setting them to the side. He turned to me and I pursed my lips.

"What if you come across a creeper or something?" I asked.

"I'm there with him, Scar. I won't let anything bad happen to him. Scarra, I'm his dad. I'm his parent too. I wouldn't forgive myself if something happened to him," Techno said. "I'll just give him a gold sword. Nothing that can hurt him badly."

"Okay," I said and he gave me a long kiss.

"Come on. Let's sleep," he said and I nodded. We laid down and Techno put his arm around me, resting his chin on top on my head. "I love you," he muttered.

"I love you too," I said and held one of his hands. I closed my eyes and we both slept.

Techno and Jonathan got ready to go in the morning. Techno made him a gold sword and Jonathan got really excited.

"I'll be like Dada," he jumped around and pointed his sword at things. He hit a picture and knocked it down.

"Let's... hold off on breaking everything," Techno took the sword and I put the picture back up.

"Sorry, mama," Jonathan said.

"It's okay, honey," I said. "Take some food for him," I told Techno.

"Got it," he said and kept food. "You'll be okay?"

"I will," I said. "I'll have dinner ready when you get back."

"Okay."

"And Techno?" I whispered so Jonathan wouldn't hear. "Dream might come over with Foolish today. Just so you know."

"Okay. That's fine. I'll make sure Jonathan's safe, don't worry, we'll be back for dinner," Techno gave me a kiss and took Jonathan. "Come on."

"Bye, mama," Jonathan hugged my leg and looked scared. I bent down and knelt in front of him.

"Are you scared?" I asked and he nodded, looking at his feet. "Dad's gonna take care of you. Don't worry. You won't get hurt."

"Okay..." Jonathan hugged me and I gave him a squeeze. He left with Techno and I went to Phil's place.

"Hey, what's up?" He asked and let me in.

"Do you have any TNT?" I asked.

"Yeah. I have a stack in this chest I think. You can look around. I'm not actually sure," he said and I nodded. I looked through some chests and it was getting close to noon. I had many more chests in his storage room to check out. "Hey, take a break and come have a snack or something."

"Oh, I'm good. Thanks," I said.

"I know you didn't have breakfast. Come on," he walked over, grabbed me and pulled me away. He took me to his kitchen and got some snacks. "Is Techno out with Jonathan?" Phil asked, getting himself some food.

"Yeah. He took Jonathan to a cave to teach him to fight," I said.

"Teach 'em young, huh?" Phil chuckled. "When we met, I hope you know I didn't hate you. I don't hate you."

"I thought you did. You were just really mean when you brough Foolish and Dream over. Then you outed me in front of everyone."

"Why did you want to keep it a secret? It's really cool that you're a god."

"I lived in the middle of nowhere for a reason. Not only because my houses were destroyed in town, but because I didn't want anyone to use me for what I was."

"I get that," Phil said and we finished what we were eating. I went back to searching and found a couple stacks of TNT.

"Phil," I went to him in the crafting room and he looked at me.

"Yeah?" He asked.

"I got the TNT. Here," I gave him emeralds and diamonds.

"Thank you," he said and made them into blocks. I headed home and to the nether. I blew up some hills and got netherite scrap. I got home after a bit and made dinner. The door opened and Foolish and Dream walked in.

"Hello, boys," I said.

"Hey, sis," Foolish said. Dream came over and tasted the soup I had made.
