Precious Memories (FFXV Ravus Nox FleuretxOC fanfiction)

Babysitting On His Own?!

Time passed by, the twins have grown up so much. Callen often sent me letters, telling me how hectic it is to take care of them. Well, what can I say? Twins are a blessing, but they would require skills and brains to efficiently look after. Once in a while, they would visit us at the manor whenever my brother has business in Tenebrae. I couldn't say that the twins and Lilac get along well.

Both Arnan and Asher would constantly annoy her by rampaging on her. Snatching on everything that Lilac holds, ending up with her crying out most of the time. Sometimes though, they would play along together like normal playdates. Leaving me and Callen to only laugh at their behavior. Clearly the twins inherited my brother's cheeky personality, along with Callen's resilience. It is a pleasure to see them growing up these past few months. I hope they don't grow up to be troublemakers though, that would be disastrous.

As for Lilac, my little girl has learned to walk on her own TWO feet. She was only crawling around a few months ago, and now she figured out how to walk one month before her first birthday. It all happened back when Ravus decided that he wanted to look after Lilac for one whole day. He was really enthusiastic about the idea that he immediately asked for my permission about it.

He told me that he really wanted to be with Lilac on that very day, as he just returned from Gralea two days ago. I couldn't refuse his adorable request, so I let him babysit Lilac for a day. I listed the things that Lilac needs and likes, which some of them he knows well the night before. He hugged and kissed my forehead for giving me the chance to look after Lilac for a day. Telling me to rest easy because I majorly took care of Lilac most of the time.

"Just make sure that when Lilac's about to sleep-"

"Give her the usual pacifier, I know that, my dear" He cut off my words, letting me know he could handle it.

He held up Lilac in his arms, carrying a bag full of her food, diapers, and toys. He looks like a nanny, it's quite an odd look for him. But who cares about that now? I leaned against him, giving my husband a kiss on the cheek. He returned the favor to me as well, joyfully nuzzling my hair.

"Go and have fun with Papa alright, Lilac?" I grinned at our little girl, giving her a peck on those chubby cheeks. She finds it ticklish and giggled out loud.

"I will be in my office now, my dear." He told me, as he prepared to leave our chambers. "Just let me know if you need any help, darling" I added, tidying up his collar, placing my hands on his chest. We went in for a quick peck on the lips, smiling towards each other.

"Rest assured, Lilac is going to be fine with me. I will summon you if anything happens, or if you want to spend time with Lilac as well." He replied, knowing that I can't stand to be far from Lilac for mere minutes.

"Of course I'm going to miss my little angel! Who can resist her cute face and charms?" I cupped Lilac's cheeks into my hands, baby-talking her. "Take care now, both of you" I pulled away and waved at them.

Ravus walked towards the door, smiling back at me as he closed the door. I stood there and dialed on the old-schooled telephone sitting on a little coffee table. I waited as the phone buzzed two times until someone picked it up.

"Hey, Luna. It's done, shall we get going?" I talked to the phone, with a determined voice.

"Yes, we should. I'm afraid that my brother might mess it up, it seems." An uneasy voice replied back at me.

"Great, I will be waiting outside of your chambers then, see you in a bit Luna" I happily added, conversing my plan with Luna.

I didn't completely let them both be, of course. I had trailed behind them, scanning every move that Ravus did with Lilac. Luna also joined me in spying on them both, free from her duties that day. We carefully watched as my busy husband carried Lilac with care throughout the manor.
