The ABCs of Managing your Daycare attendant. (Sun/MoonXReader)

Wavelength

Your ring arrived in their room a week after you proposed, you didn't know if they wanted it to be a surprise or not, but a staff bot brought it in while you were doing class work and Moon was patrolling the plex.

And well...since it was Moon you knew he lived by better to ask forgiveness than permission, so you looked in the little box.

"You didn't?" Your sister gapped at you, looking at the ring on your left hand. It was two toned, gold and silver with a small ring of diamonds haphazardly dotted through the middle where the two colors met, like a band of stars. Thinning out to nothing around the sides of the band where your fingers would brush it and clustering tightly together near the top where a single diamond would usually be.

"I did." you admitted, smiling shyly.

"Sissy!" She scolded, making you giggle.

"What, Moon laughed." You replied, "and Sun thought it was cute."

"That's not the point, don't you think that they deserve the chance for a special proposal?" She asked, before some mom instinct went off and she turned around in her kitchen to look into her gated off play area, "No no Conner, leg down." She said and sure enough when you leaned around to look Conner was trying to climb over the gate, with his baby brother crawling around after him.

Conner would go to one end of the room to play with blocks, his brother would crawl after him. He would go to the other end of the room to play with cars, his brother would crawl after him.

"That's so freaking cute." You said watching the two of them.

"Yeah...I'll give him a break in a sec, cause that can get annoying really fast."

"Speaking from first-hand experience?"

"The joys of being an older sibling." Stacy replied.

"Did I follow you around like that?" You asked curiously.

"Constantly." She said, with a laugh.

"I plead the fifth." You joked back, laughing with your sister. It was nice to take breaks like this and visit with your family. You had been spending a little more time in your own space now. It had taken some effort, but you had to trust that the parts and services people could take care of your boys while you were away. Especially now that you were starting the practical application section of your degree.

Sun and Moon assured you that they didn't mind, but you imagined it would feel weird to walk on them putting a bunch of human organs together to make a little homunculus, disregarding the general morbidity of where they would get organs. Your boyfriend's told you it didn't bother them, but they also didn't know how many boxes of circuitry and other small parts were taking over your living room.

It just felt weird, so you decided you would rather do that in your apartment and if you were going to be spending more time outside of the plex then you might as well go spend time with family when you weren't trying to build your own Roomba. It would be really nice to have your own that would dust while you were staying in the plex. That way you wouldnt have to spend the first twenty minutes you were in the apartment dusting instead of working.

You weren't even ashamed that it was the apartment now and not home. Home was wherever Sun and Moon were. You ate dinner with your sister and your nephews, Jamie was working late. With the smoke clearing from three upper level executives being let go in the wake of some serious court cases around power abuse, he had been given a promotion and told to "fix what he could."

That involved more late nights in the office then he would have liked, going through his ex-bosses files and trying to make sense of them. He had apologized to you after he found some incriminating information on how you were offered your position. He said that he had no idea that those things had been going on with the internship program and that if he had he never would have suggested you sign up for it.
