"Maya." Lucas asked as he sat on the chair beside her.

"Hmm?" She replied, not taking her eyes off the canvas.

"Well, i was thinking-" Lucas looked at her, fiddling with his fingers nervously.

"Well?"

"Would you go on a date with me?"

Maya immediately stopped painting. Her eyes turned to Lucas as she put down her brush hastily.

"L-like on a date, date?" She asked, eye widened to the size of huge china platters.

"Er, yea."

Maya looked thoughtful for a moment, getting Lucas even more nervous, "I mean, we dont have to if you dont want to, of course, but i just thought since we are already like a family, and i- i swear i wont run away like what happened with Erin- and i- can we start over?"

Maya giggled and put her hands on Lucas's shirt. "I would love to, bucky mc boing boing."

Lucas grinned. "Great! Will the day after tomorrow work?"

Maya nodded as she leaned in, to give Lucas a small peck on the lips for the first time in a while.

Lucas grinned as he deepened the kiss, and they both ended up in the bedroom.

"Daddy? Why are you in bed with Mommy?" Lilly asked as both children donned innocent expressions on their countenances.

"Yea." Luke added, "Can we join!"

Maya and Lucas's eyes widened. "NO!" They said in unplanned unison and Luke and Lilly giggled uncontrollably at their parents' shocked faces, not understanding the truth.

"Are you having a sleepover without us?" Luke asked, pouting fakely and Lilly chimed in with, "An adult sleepover?"

Maya smirked as she pulled the covers tighter around her small frame. "Daddy will explain to you later." The kids nodded, eager to gain knowledge and Lucas shot her a did-you-really-have-to-do-that look. Maya smiled, feigning innocence as she told the kids to go out so they could get ready for the day.
