[N/Uzi, V/Lizzy] Uzi and N address a rift between them and in doing so discover a hidden desire. Preparation and therapy ensues. Now with a little one (or two) in tow, it's time to adjust to life as a family while dealing with the wounds of the pas...
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hello new readers! So first off, this fic began after episode 6, so some things had to change as it went on. Nori doesn't show up for a while notably because I had no idea what happened to her until episode 7 finally dropped. This is mostly fluff and angst for the first arc (about 50k words), then we veer into adventure/mystery and then horror and then trying to cope with that in family life. It goes places, and let me be totally upfront that I handle it with as much care as possible. I've been through CSA, and that's kind of important to how I write a situation later in the fic.
Also warnings (AS OF CHAPTER 32): PTSD, fictionalized discrimination, attempted suicide, animal injury, attempted infanticide, descriptions of gore, body horror, parasites (of the "voice in your head" and physical varieties), situation handled as SA (NO sex they do NOT have bits here), attempted murder, pregnancy as horror KEEP IN MIND - some of these warnings may only apply for as little as part of a chapter
I hope this all ain't super concerning. Most of the fic tends to be just fluffy family stuff, there's just some deep wounds to address.

"Lizzy, this is completely unprompted", purple eyes glared at the figures in their living room.
"Girl, chill. It's just for a few hours. We'll be back later". The former cheerleader posed her hand on her hip, V attempting to do something similar regardless of her busy arms. The way they were dressed up, Uzi had no doubt they were indeed off for a night of fun.
V sighed, "look, we'd do the same for you if you two would ever actually settle down". Uzi gave her a glare as V passed off the parcel in her arms to N. V gave the other Disassembly Drone a coy grin, "I know how much you like to play with her, just entertain her while we're out".
N took the pill-shaped baby into his arms, carefully holding the infant drone against him. His eyes seemed to sparkle at the sight of the small thing in his arms. "She's so cute! Thanks V and Lizzy!".
"N, wait a second", Uzi cautioned, "they just barged in here and asked us to do-".
"Chill~", Lizzy stressed, "maybe you might learn something or... something ". Uzi gave her a glare.
V raised a finger at the baby, "just make sure Chloe doesn't miss us, alright?".
N nodded with vigor, "yep, I'm gonna take such good care of her!".
"You better", Lizzy casually dismissed him before offering him a small thankful smile.
V gave them a nod before escorting Lizzy out the door, their arms interlocking. Uzi exhaled at their departure before shifting gears to raise a questioning look at N and the baby.
