"Ugh....." You groaned.

Summer was nearly here and you were already burning up and tired of it. You had only taken Michael to the nearest playground, with the twins in their double pram, and you already wanted to go home.

You had to not only apply sunscreen on all four of you but you also had to find a good place in the shade to not burn up too much, But you could already feel yourself tanning up from the burning sun.

I just want to go home..

Now the real question was do you take them back to your home or to Williams.

Well even if it is technically William's house, you have been living there when it was really late, he wouldn't let you drive home anywhere past 10pm so you'd stay in the guest room.

Only slowly as the weeks passed to month, you slowly realized that you weren't much of a babysitter..

While most would just take care of kids for a little while then ditch them for the rest of the day, you were with them from morning to night, making food, babying, washing.

You were basically their mom.

Hell, sometimes Mike would call you 'mam' or 'mummy', but always corrected it to 'mummy lady' or something like that.

You hadn't even realized while you thought of all those things that you had basically started walking towards the Afton household.

While you did struggle a bit with the pram, while the kids were light as feathers to carry the carriage, was heavy on its own, all the extra things you carried added to it.

Finally after a gruesome walk home, William greeted you with a warm smile and welcoming open arms.

"Welcome home," he mused, leading you in by the small of your back, almost like a host or a loving husba-

Don't even think about it girlie

He took the buggy and you took the kids, placing them on their baby mat in the living room, while mike ran off to his room.

"Are you alright, dear? You look hot.", he murmurs.

"I am.", you sighed, finally sitting down and fixing your hair. "It's like an oven out there.",

"Innit?", he chuckled, handing you a cup of water and ice.

Then he sat down beside you with an appreciative smile, "you're amazing y'know?", he pet your hair.

"Stop... I'm sweaty", you sighed while trying to pull away, your already red face heating up more.

"I don't care, I don't know what I'd do without you." He sighed.

"You're over flattering me.", you mumbled, looking down.

Not only have you grown closer to the kids, you also grew closer to William.
