You woke up, feeling the heavy weight on your chest, you sat up. Your daughter groaned in confusion, " Okaa-san?.."

You blink, and remembered what occured after you left the infirmary.

*
Closing the door gently. You gave Lévis some space after the conversation that you both had, " Okaa-san?" You jump, almost having a heart attack but realizing immediately that it was just your children. Placing a hand to your chest to calm your heart beat, sighing in relief. The three girls giggled in amusement at your reaction.

" Now, now.. what are three doing here? Isn't it supposed to be your bed time?" You ask tilting your head. The triplets looked at each other, before Naho spoke, " We wanted you to read us a bed time story.. because we know Okaa-san is gonna be busy again.."

They shyly looked at the floor, looking at the said action, you smiled before scooping the three of them in your arms. Naho in the middle wrapped her arms around your neck to avoid falling, while burst of giggles escaped their mouth when you kissed each of their cheek.

" You know I can't deny you three! Lets go then!"

*

" Hm? Yes?" You ask getting up, making sure not to wake up Naho, and Sumi. And grabbing Kiyo and carrying her in your arms. Swaying, trying to put her back to slumber.

" Is it true that your gonna be busy again?..." You look towards the clock, seeing the time, It was very early.

5:56

" Unfortunately, yes.. but I'll make sure to spend time with you! if it's possible, ok..?" Kiyo frown got larger, but didn't say more and snuggled into your arms. Falling back into a dreamless sleep.

You stop, before carefully putting her back on the bed, with her other siblings.

You walk down the halls, now donning your working clothes. (Any demon slayer uniform, just without the symbol but your haori is Kanae's)

You stepped in front of the infirmary, before knocking, hearing a quiet " come in"

Lévis, who was looking at the window turned to you, curiously looking at your attire, but chose not to question you.

" How are you feeling?" You inquire.

" Fine.." he answered back
You walked towards him before sitting in front of him.

" You'll stay here for a few days.. I already asked Mr.Wahlberg-san to give you an excuse letters to your teachers.."

" Th-thanks.." he stuttered, shyly averting his eyes, staring back at the window. You smiled, that was progress.

A knock could be heard, before Aoi walked in, wheeling in a cart filled with food.

" Okaa-san, I've come to give the patient his food and medicine." Aoi wheeled it beside the bed.

" Thank you so much! Aoi.." you pat the girls head, making her blush and nod, " I'll take it from here, Ok?" You guide her to the door, before kissing her forehead. " O-okaa-san!?" She blushed horribly, you just teasingly smile before closing the door.

You turn to Lévis, with him staring with this awkward look on his face.

"..."

"..."

Lévis cleared his throat, " so.. who's the dad?.."

" Eh...?" you blushed before waving your hands frantically, " No! They're all adopted! Be-besides! I'm too young!!" Lévis smirked at the flustered state you were in, before chuckling. You stop, before stomping towards him. Grabbing a onigiri and shoving it in his mouth, to cease the laughter that was escaping in his throat, instead making him choke.

*

Safe to say, your friendship with Lévis was flourishing. Yes, His still rude, but you could tell that he didn't really meant any of it.

Walking down the halls, you stopped short when none other than, Margarette Macaron was there, almost as if waiting for you.

" Ah!.. (Name)chan, just the person I was looking for..!" He walked towards you, feigning surprise.

" Macaron-san?.."

" Oh please! We're friends now! Call me Margarette.." he grinned, " I happen to need your assistance dear.." he started to guide you to the unknown, you following after him curiously.

Lévis sighed looking around, trying to find a certain (color)-haired girl.

'where is she?..'
