"Okay. Thanks." I say, geod leaving the room.
Sebastians quietly in the corner, coloring in a book Lu got him from heaven at the last meeting.
He and Azzie are still up there.
"Daddy.."
I look up, he only ever talks when it's just us.
I love the trust in me that he has.
*whats up?*
"Well- the roof but I assume you mean what do I need"
*you know, I didn't even realize I said that it that way.*
He smiles.
"Can we get a cat?"
"You want a cat?" I ask.
"Well..I want a pet."

I set down my pen and stand up, walking over to my radio. "Well, I can talk to your papa,"
"Yayy!"
The door opens and Azzie runs in.
"daddy! Daddy!"
"Hey bug, how was your trip?" She hugs me.
"It was so fun! Grandma taught me how to make cookies!"
"Oh really?"
Lu comes walking in, the look on his face indicates bad news, and exhaustion. He hasn't been sleeping much, which I get but he gets emotional when he's tired. Like..really emotional.
He once cried because he spilled his coffee on my shirt, it was hot but he cried as if he stabbed me in the chest.
"How was the meeting?" I ask,
Azzie climbs down, her and sebastian running out of the room to play.
He flicks magic at the door to close it.
"Horrible. Sera wants to put a pause on our plans to join heaven and hell together, and lute isn't behind the exterminations."
"Who else would be behind it?"
He shrugs.
"I'm so tired.." he mumbles, giving me a hug.
"Do you want to go up to bed? I've got everything here."
He shakes his head.
"Dear we both know how you get when you're sleepy, if you need a nap then go take it.."
"I don't want to be alone.."

Ah.
That's why he's not sleeping.
"Honey..you won't be alone."
"I will. You'll be down here.."
I pick him up, hold him close as his legs wrap around my waist.
"Sleep."

                                        ...

I set him down on the couch in my office, covering him.
I have to step out for just a moment to check on the kids and make sure dinner is on time.
It'll only be quick.
