(Above are Zane, Lottie, Laney, and Archie)


Lottie's POV:

I sighed sitting down on the couch in the dark living room. "See, this is why I didn't want to come back." Zane would sigh, "C'mon, Sweetie, it isn't that bad." I would stare, "Please. I would rather be in Hawaii right now, than this horrible house." Laney would smile climbing on the couch, unaware of what was going on. "I like grandpa! He's so cool!" Zane would smile, "Yeah? Well, I'm glad you liked him!" Laney would smile holding onto Zane's hand. "And this place is super cooler than our old house!" I would look over, "Is it now?" "Mhm!" Laney would smile slightly playing with the couch. "How is it better?" Zane asked smiling. "I have more friends!" Laney would giggle. "More friends?" I would ask confused. "Mhm! I have Mommy, Daddy, Grandpa, and Grandpa's friend!" Zane would nod, "Grandpa's friend is your..." Zane would pause, "I have no idea what they'd be considered..." "The other grandparent." I would say shrugging. Laney would gasp, "That's so cool!" Zane would smile, "I knowww, but you know what else would be cool?" Laney would look over, excited, "What?" Zane would chuckle, "If you would get some rest and have a wonderful dream!" Laney would whine, "But I'm not tireddddd!" I would sigh,  "Well, Mommy and Daddy are. And we want to have good dreams too. So why don't we go sleep..?" Laney would whine, "Okayyyy..." She would pout laying down, "I'm not even..." She'd yawn, "Tired..." Zane would nod, "I'm sure you aren't." Zane would get up and put a blanket over Laney, kissing her forehead. "Good night, sweetie." "Night, Daddy..." Laney would say smiling before she shut her eyes. Zane would stretch sitting next to me. "See, I'm an amazing parent." Zane whispered. I smiled nodding and whispering back, "Yep, you are a wonderful father." Zane would smile, "So. What will this amazing father get?" I would stare, "A punch in the face if he doesn't be quiet?" He would sigh, "Please, Lottie..." I would groan shaking my head. "No." Zane would whine laying down. I would sigh placing his head in my lap. "Just get some rest, alright?" Zane would sigh nodding. I sighed shutting my eyes.

Five hours later:

Second Person POV:

You yawned getting up, looking around for Archer. Archer and Archie were gone. You sighed getting up. You walked outside the bedroom looking around for someone but saw nobody at all. "Archer?" You called out. You heard a slight thud coming from Archer's office. You walked over and slowly opened the door. You saw Archer sitting at his desk holding onto Archie, who was asleep. You smiled standing next to Archer, "Where'd Lottie and Zane go?" Archer would sigh, "The park. Laney wanted to go on the slide." You would nod. "And you have no work today?" He'd nod, "Jammie said I shouldn't go to work today. And If it's anything like the school situation, I should stay here." He smiled teasing. You nodded holding out your hands to take Archie. Archer looked at you hesitant, but picked up Archie and handed him to you. You smiled looking at Archie asleep, then looked back at Archer. "I still think you were too harsh on Lottie..." He shrugged stretching, "She left us, for four years. Never said a word. A single word. Do you know how stressful that is to a father?" You shrugged, "Very?" He sighed nodding, "Indeed it is." He picked up his mug and took a sip of coffee. "Archie sure does sleep a lot..." You said looking down at him. Archer would chuckle looking back at you, "He's a baby. That's what they do." You shook your head, "He's a toddler. Shouldn't he be playing with small toys, or crawling?" Archer shrugged looking at the clock. "It's noon, he had some food and took a small nap." You looked at the clock. "God, It's twelve already?" He nodded, "You slept through a lot." You looked down at Archie. "I'll go set him down." He nodded drinking his coffee. You walked out and walked towards Archie's room. Setting him down.  You put a small blanket over his torso and kissed his forehead. Walking towards outside and shutting the door behind you. You looked overseeing Zane and Lottie walk inside, Laney running inside. "How was your day?" Zane smiled, "It was alright." Laney ran over and hugged your leg. "Did you have fun?" you asked. She smiled nodding. "I'm glad you had fun." Lottie would sigh getting herself one of Archer's beers. "Zane, why don't you go take Laney to wash up?" Zane would nod. He walked over and picked up Laney, bringing her to a bathroom. Lottie would look over at you, "So...How have you been..?" You shrugged, "I've been quite alright! Nothing like being in Hawaii." You chuckled slightly. Lottie shrugged, "I mean, Hawaii was nice, for a little." " So interesting you had to stay there for four years?" Lottie sighed, "Please, I just wanted to enjoy myself before I came home to hear all the crap from you and dad." You would stare, "The only reason you are hearing this crap is because you had your father worried sick about you. And you neglected to say a word to us." Lottie would stare, "Please. Just quit." You'd sigh, "Fine. But I don't want to hear another word about Hawaii." You said walking off, passing Zane and Laney. You opened the door going into Archer's office. You watched Archer slightly jump from seeing you. "Are you alright, sweetie?" You asked walking over. He nodded looking at the window. "Yes...I'm alright." You looked over, seeing Archer's belt undone, and his zipper down. You chuckled, "Oh? What happened to not being in the mood anymore?" Archer would look over, "Yeah yeah. It's just a one-time thing." You smiled sitting on his desk. "Then...I suppose we should enjoy this while we can huh?" He chuckled, "I suppose you're correct." You got up, shutting the door and locking it. This was going to be interesting.
