(Aquantis' POV)
Another day at work. I sigh as I restock the shelves with more boxes of shoes. Once they are stocked, a few people come in. I ring up a few people's shoes for them while the rest of the guys help out. I feel my phone vibrate and pull it out of my pocket. "Hello?"

"Hey Quantis, it's Danny."

"Oh hey, what's up?"

"Could you watch the kiddos for me? Lilly and I are busy today."

"Yeah, no problem. When do you want me to watch them?"

"Now?"

"I'm at work now."

"We've called everybody and they're all busy."

"Hmm, I'll see what I can do."

"Alright."

"Ok, I might see you later."

"Ok, thanks."

"Yeah." Afterwards, I hung up the phone and sighed before pushing myself away from the counter. I walked to the back and into Daniel's office. "Aquantis, what brings you in here?"

"I kinda have a family emergency and was wondering if I could have the day off."

"Hmm....alright, but you work till closing time tomorrow."

"Alright, thanks Daniel."

"Yeah." I clocked out before I left and headed out of the mall. I got into my car and pulled out my phone, I texted Danny back to let him know before leaving.

When I pulled into my apartment complex I noticed his car already parked. When I got out he got out of his car. "Hey Quantis, sorry it was last minute."

"It's alright anything for the kiddos."

"Well, lets grab the kids and bring them up to your place."

"Alright." We opened the back doors and took the kids out from their car seats. I grabbed their diaper bags and held Liliana's hand. I got my keys out and opened my apartment door, Liliana immediately ran inside. "I'll be back, I'm just gonna go grab their toys." He said while handing Isaiah to me. I nodded at him then smiled down at Isaiah. "Hi boo boos, how's my little chunky butt?" He smiled at me and made a cute little baby noise. I kissed his cheeks and walked over to the living room. Liliana had sat down on my couch with the remote. "You wanna watch cartoons Liliana?"

"Hmhm." I walked and sat beside her with Isaiah in my lap. I took the remote from her and went to the kids channel for her. I heard the door open and Danny walked in with the bag of toys and a folded stroller. "Alright here's the rest. Lily and I will come back to pick them up around nine thirty or ten."

"Alright."

"Ok, bye guys."

"Bye."

"Bye bye daddy." The door closed and I set Isaiah down on the floor. I walked over to the bag of toys and took out a few toys and put them on my coffee table. "Liliana, are you hungry?"

"No."

"Isaiah, want your bottle?"

"Mum mum."

"Hmm ok little one." I grabbed his bag and took out his bottle and formula. I walked into the kitchen and started mixing it for him. I walked back into the living room and picked up Isaiah. I set him in my lap and gave him his bottle.

After a while, I continued to watch tv with the kids while they also played with their toys. Liliana started becoming fussy and I noticed Isaiah becoming a bit sleepy. "Lets go take a nap guys." I picked up Isaiah and took Liliana's hand. I walked us to my room and had the kids lay down. I laid down beside them and let out a yawn forgetting that I had woken up early. Soon after the kids fell asleep I felt my eyes get droopy and let sleep consume me.

(Scooter's POV)
I had walked in the mall and headed towards the Vans shoe store like I would usually do. I walked in and was surprised to not immediately see Aquantis. I walked over to the register and noticed a familiar guy standing by the counter. "Hey, you're Mathew, right?"

"Yeah, you must be Scooter."

"Yeah, do you know where Aquantis is by any chance?"

"I heard she went home early for a family emergency."

"Oh alright, thank you."

"Yeah, no problem." After that I quickly left worried about how Aquantis is feeling. I thought of all possible scenarios that could've happened. I never knew if she was really sensitive or not. I was worried she could be bawling her eyes out with whatever is happening.

I called her from my car's radio system and it went straight to voicemail. "Fuck!" I whisper shouted. I drove a bit faster and pulled into her apartment complex. I hopped out of my car and ran up the short staircase to her apartment. I grabbed the hidden key that she has outside of her apartment and opened the door. Closing it behind me I call out her name. "Quantis!" I looked in the kitchen, then the living room, but no sight of her. "Baby!" I walk down the hall and notice her bedroom door cracked open. I approach the door and slowly open it. "Quantis." I whisper and the sight that I see has to be the cutest I've seen. There she is cuddled up with two kids. One sleeping tucked in her arms and one sprawled out next to her. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding and slowly walk towards the bed. I lay down behind her, wrapping my arm around her and the cute, little baby boy. I kiss her cheek and feel her flinch a bit. "Scooter?"

"Hey babe."

"What are you doing here?"

"You weren't at work and Mathew said you had a family emergency, so I got worried and rushed over here."

"Scoots, I'm sorry I forgot to tell you. But please don't rush, I don't want anything happening to you."

"Hey, anything is worth the risk if it's for you."

"Well, I'm glad nothing happened."

"Yeah, who are these kiddos?"

"It's my niece Liliana and nephew Isaiah."

"Was this the family emergency?"

"Yeah, my cousin couldn't find anyone to watch them for the day."

"They're really cute." I said looking over at them and lightly holding Isaiah's small hand.

"Yeah, they are." She replied while trying to move Liliana closer. I smiled fondly at all three of them. "Can't wait till I have my own kids."

"You want kids?"

"Yeah, sometime in the near future."

"Hmm, didn't really peg you to be a guy who wanted kids." I gasped dramatically and Quantis let out a short giggle. "I happen to love kids, cutie."

"Alright love, I didn't mean to assume."

"Hmm, you're lucky I love you."

"Haha, I love you too, you dork."
