It was late at night when you were woken up by Moms grunting.

Again. You groaned, pulling the covers of your head to no avail.

Sleep..sleep. All you wanted was some sleep. And yet it alludes you. This had been going on for weeks now. Eventually, Mom learned to move the flower with her aura. Which was good. It meant going to Lucindas wasn't a complete waste of time. But now she was obsessed with trying to actually heal the stupid thing.

You're getting sleep deprived! It's like every night you wake up to her grunts, the light in the closet being flicked on, or Mo-Woof talking.

You hopped out of bed with a bit of a hobble. You were dressed in one of Aarons T-shirts to sleep tonight but it was huge on you, making it more of a nightgown than actual pajamas. It fell off your shoulder a little and you nearly tripped over it twice but it was okay. It made you feel closer to him. With a yawn, you dragged yourself over to the closet, pulling the pillow you were resting on and Scrouchy along with you. The light inside of the closet nearly burned your reitnas and you had to squint with great effort to see what was happening infront of you.

But when you did you just blinked even more tiredly.

Mom with the flower. And Woof too, I guess..

"...Mommy?" "Oh IRENE-Y/n! Don't..scare me like that! What have told you about staring at me in silence before I see you!?" "Right. Sorry." You weren't sorry. It was funny everytime.

You walked fully into the closet, stubbing your foot on a huge brown book of sorts. You looked at Mom who focused all of her attention back onto the flower again.

"What're you doing.." "Trying to heal this flower...! I'm so close!" She huffed, holding her hand out and straining it in a way that looled painful. "You've 'been so close' all night every night..." You whined, sitting onto the floor beside her hopelessly, "My eyes burn, Mom..I'm sure yours do too. Can you please just go to bed? You need your sleep.."

"Hah..That's what Woof told me too.." "...They did." "Yup.." She was trying to be silly and get you to laugh tonight. But it was far too late for that. Aphmau seemed to realize that and chuckled a bit sheepishly, before scratching the back of her head. "I-I'll be in there with you soon. I promise."

"..Nah, don't bother. " You huffed, plopping yourself in Aphmaus lap, knocking the wind out of the poor women. Jeez, you were getting bigger-

She re-adjusted accordingly until you were comfortable allowing her to try and heal the plant while you were able to rest there simultaneously.

"I'll just lay here..fall asleep..aaaand..have you carry me back to bed." "Your putting it on me to bring you back to bed?" "You woke me up. This is your punishment." "That's fair, I guess."

"You should really go to sleep though kid, its not good for tots your age to be up this late!" Woof chimed in. You huffed a small laugh, playing along.
