TW//  Mild mentions of sexual exploitation

I was sleepy while finishing and editing this so I'm sorry if it's a bit wonky.

"Skeppy, what?!" Bad wasn't thrilled to be woken up. "What's wrong?"

"Look at this Instagram post." Before Bad suffocated him for waking him up over a post, Skeppy showed him his phone. "That's our house, isn't it?"

Bad rubbed his eyes and squinted at the screen. "Yeah? What's that? Did you send them a photo to use? Why would you do that?"

"I didn't send them that photo...that's fucking creepy..." Skeppy hadn't had any personal issues with Disfruta so far. So it was jarring to have something like this happen.

"This is a popular neighborhood." Bad yawned. "They probably found a photo of the house from when it was listed. This house would probably pop up pretty easy online."

"I guess..." Skeppy sighed, feeling stupid. "I'll ask someone about it tomorrow."

"Okay, go to sleep." Bad rolled over and folded himself into the blanket.

Sleepy had to wrestle some of the blankets back from Bad. Then he got comfortable.

Then Haniya started crying.

Skeppy sat up and patted Bad on the back as Bad groaned. "I got it, love dove. Go to sleep. I'm sorry for waking you."

Skeppy went to Hani's room and scooped her up. He changed her diaper and put her in dry pajamas. Then he sat down in the rocking chair with her.

"It's okay, baby." Skeppy wiped her eyes in her soft green blanket. He hummed to her in the dark room. The only light was from her crib soother.

"You're a little too young to be an insomniac

"You're a little too young to be an insomniac." Skeppy whispered as he rocked with her. "But one day I'm going to miss these late night rocks, yeah?" Skeppy watched Hani curl into his chest and slowly her crying stopped.

"I don't know what's wrong." Bad groaned, rocking Haniya while wiping down the kitchen table. "Shes been crying all night and all morning."

"She calmed down for a little bit last night." Skeppy yawned, sucking down his coffee so fast that he could practically hear his stomach screaming in terror. "God, I'm so tired. I'm not making it through this shoot. They better have the world's best concealer."

"Dark circles are hot, don't worry." Bad put Haniya at his hip and tried to use one hand to stir his coffee.

"Okay, I'll never sleep again." Skeppy helped Bad stir his coffee and handed it to him. "Do you want me to take the baby?"

"No, you get ready. You were up most of the night with her."

"Mnf, okay." Skeppy went to the bathroom to take a quick cold shower and fix himself up in the mirror.
