I woke up burning hot.When I tried to move I couldn't. I looked around the room. I was in Techno's room. I turned to look behind me and I saw Techno, his head nuzzled in my neck. I looked down at the rest of my body. His arms wrapped around my waist and his legs locked with mine. After a few minutes Wilbur came into the room and smiled. "Hey, how are you feeling?" he asked as he walked over to the side of the bed I was facing. "Safe." I said in a murmur so I wouldn't wake Techno. Wilbur nodded and walked over to the door. "Give him a few minutes and he'll be awake." I gave him a thumbs up and got comfy again.

Wilbur was right, after a few minutes Techno woke up. "Goodmorning love." he said in a raspy, tired voice. I blushed at the nickname but smiled. "Goodmorning hun." I whispered out. He chuckled and held me closer. "Hun I need to get up." I said as he whined, reluctantly releasing me from his grip. I stood up and walked over to the bathroom. "Hey, uh Techno, weird question but can I borrow a hoodie and some shorts?" I asked quietly, forgetting that I didn't have clothes. He smiled and jumped up from the bed immediately.

He walked over to his dresser pulling out some basketball shorts and a hoodie. He handed them to me gently passing me before he gave me a kiss on the head. He headed down the stairs while I headed to the bathroom. After getting dressed in the hoodie and shorts I took a minute to myself. His hoodie engulfed my entire upper half. The sleeves passing my hands and the end of the hoodie dipping past my ass. The shorts were a better fit, almost like they were from when he was younger. The hoodie smelt just like him and it made me happy. I could swim in his scent all day if I could.

After composing myself I went down stairs and into the living room. Sitting on the couch beside the door. Phil was there with Tubbo, Tommy, and Ranboo. He was sitting in his story time chair. I heard bits and pieces of the story. It was about when Wilbur caught his fish Sally, he loved that fish more than anything and It made me happy to see him so happy when I came over.

I looked over to Phil. When he lifted his head he smiled at me brightly. "Boys it seems like she's awake but please don't bombard her with questions, give her time." he said as he ruffled the three kids' hair. Tommy, Tubbo, and Ranboo slid over to where I was sitting and rested their heads next to my legs on the couch cushion. They were quiet and patient. It was different for me to not hear their laughter. I smiled lightly. "Hey guys, I know Phil just said to give me time, but I really don't like when you are quiet so please goof off." I said quietly.

The three boys smiled and started talking about what they did while I was sleeping. They played some weird games and even played some instruments while I was out. I smiled as they began laughing and smiling more. Tubbo, being the leader of the musical suggestions, decided that they should play me a song. As they began to play Techno came in and smiled at them then at me. He walked over to the violin case and grabbed it out. The three boys stopped and waited for him to be ready. The rest of the family began to file into the room. Wilbur grabbed his guitar, and Phil grabbed his pan pipes.

The melody they played was beautiful but it was missing something. I got up from my seat and looked at the instruments before my eyes landed on the perfect instrument. The bells (big long word I can't spell) I brought back over to my seat, setting it down gently on the glass table. When they were back to the melody I added a heartbreaking string of notes to their beautiful heart warming tune. When The song was done I placed the hammer down and sat back in my seat.

Everyone was smiling and laughing when Kristin came back into the living room. "That was beautiful, but I regret to inform you it is breakfast time." she said sweetly. God her voice was like honey dripping from the comb. This woman had a way with words and I guess that's where her two eldest sons got it from. As we all headed into the dining room Karl turned to me. "If you want to stay here you can drop me back off at the house and I'll look after it." he said quietly. "I have to go back, Karl. I can't stay here all the time. I have things I have to do and places to be. Besides, the event is tonight." He nodded his head and sat down next to Tubbo. I sat down across from Techno, Wilbur sat beside him and Phil sat down next to me.
