"Give me salt."

"Don't use so much."

"Sorry, is that too spicy for you?"

The party lasted much longer than expected, not that either minded, especially since their parents were bonding. Though, that meant they fell asleep much faster, falling asleep as soon as their faces hit the pillow.

Their morning was rather uneventful, seeing as they were the first awake in the house. Rooming arrangements took a while, but eventually they decided that Luna's family would stay with Mia, Liz and Harrison in the rented house, while Tom's family stayed in their house.

Now Luna stood in front of the stove, clad in her polka dot pajamas while Tom stood a few feet away. His smile was wiped off his face at her words, while Luna was attempting to hide her smile. "Haha," He muttered sarcastically, taking the salt from her hands. "Aren't you just hilarious?"

Luna grinned, abandoning the pan for a moment to press a kiss to her boyfriend's cheek. "Just poking some fun, don't be whiney."

"Domestic life." Both turned to the doorway as Harry stepped in, fully dressed. "It's sickening."

"You love us," Luna scoffed, turning her attention back to the eggs. "You eating or not? I'm only cooking for you boys."

Tom's eyebrows furrowed, and he glanced over to Harry in confusion. "Why?"

"Your mom, my mom, Diana and I are going out for brunch," Luna turned to Tom with a grin. "And guess what you're doing?" Tom blinked. "Babysitting."

Oh boy.

While Luna was enjoying a stack of pancakes, discussing wether pineapple should be on pizza (it shouldn't) with the girls, Tom was at home with the baby.

He knew for a fact that Liz and Mia weren't busy, but instead made up plans to take out Tom's brother, because the thought of Harrison and Tom babysitting brought them amusement. Thankfully Harrison knew how to tend to a baby, though it didn't help much seeing as Elena didn't know him and her bottom lip would begin to quiver whenever he held her.

That left Tom with the task of entertaining her, cleaning her up, and feeding her. He loved Elena, he really did, but he realized he loved her a little bit more when Luna was there to keep her under control.

"I still can't believe this is your house," Harrison sighed, throwing himself down onto the couch. "You and Luna are.... wow."

Tom looked away from the baby he was rocking, pursing his lips. "Wow?" He repeated, making Harrison lift his head.

"Wow," He confirmed with a nod. "I mean you're 21, and you've got a house together. Usually I'm all for taking things slow, but it never seemed like you two needed to slow down. Like the fast lane was the right pace for you."

He never thought of it that way. "I guess it was..." He trailed off, glancing back down at Elena. Him and Luna always seemed to go with the flow of their relationship, neither feeling as thought they had to wait for a certain amount of time before doing something. They never realized it's what set them apart from other relationships.
