"They came to live with us December 15 the year before last," Dark informed him, so he understand the full facts as he was willing to reveal, "I do believe they are very happy with us." Daizi nodded, "And they're definitely settled. They speak some level of Arabic with us, they've repainted...

Dark stretched his arm across the picnic table to shake Tristan's hand without standing up, but if it wasn't already obvious sitting, the length of his arm suggested he was a very, very tall man, and one covered in tattoos at that. Then he put one hand on Daizi's shoulder, who then extended her...

Ivy babbled back at them as they made plans about what they were going to do with her, and happily pressed against Alec, demanding his absolute full attention. When the silver car pulled up, Dark watched it carefully, suspecting he guessed the name of the driver who was soon to step out of it...

After Dark said his goodbyes, Daizi gave Ivy a big hug and a kiss goodbye, silently reminded herself that she was overreacting, and this was okay. She knew it was, and she knew it would be, but it still wasn't easy, and she didn't know if it'd be better if they were going on a nice date rather...

Daizi spent most of her day trying to not freak out about the fact she was leaving Ivy home with someone other than Dark, for the first time not in an emergency. It made her want to cry, but letting Ivy see her cry was only going to teach her that Mama leaving was bad, and she couldn't do that...

Daizi sighed, kissing her baby on the forehead. She knew it was probably for the best to leave her home, but she was trying to convince herself of why it was a good idea, actually. One day, she knew, she'd have to get comfortable leaving her behind, because of course she did. But that didn't...

Daizi sighed, squeezing Ivy in close and rubbing her cheek against her hair, "I know it wouldn't be so bad to leave her here, I'm just not used to it. I've only left without her twice, and once was in an emergency, and the other time she was sleeping." "It will be alright," Dark promised...

Daizi paused, standing up Ivy in her lap, and sat for a few moments as her baby grabbed at her face and babbled at her before saying, "I'm not sure. I'm not particularly concerned of anything happening to her, I can't think of anything he could do that would be a problem for her, even if we...

"That is a great benefit," Dark agreed with a nod. "This isn't The Taming of the Shrew," Daizi gently reminded them, "and working at a money-lending business does not mean he is necessarily a money lender himself. Not everybody who works in a hospital is a doctor, not everybody who works at a...

"It definitely could have been worse," Daizi agreed with a nod, rubbing Ivy's back as she let herself relax for the first time since Lance's visit, "He seemed... nice, enough, and less fake-charming than some people I've met. He has a stable job." "I do not adore the wait we are about to have...

"It will just be us for right now," Dark answered, "I hope you can understand why we are being cautious and for wanting to meet you first before we make further introductions. It is an all around tender situation." Daizi hugged Ivy close, and that little attention helped keep her from being a...

To stall, and give the twins more time to decide, Daizi said, "...Well, to make things a bit more even between us, I'll tell you Dark is a history teacher at the high school," at least for the moment, "and I work at the museum downtown. Not the art museum or the science museum, the one everyone...

"That area is fine. Well, it is settled, then. We will meet you there." Dark replied, although Daizi had, admittedly, gotten a bit confused if the twins were going to join them or not. She had thought they weren't planning to, yet, but the conversation now sounded otherwise. Again, she...

"Tomorrow at that time is fine," Dark answered, and after thinking about it for a few moments, named a park that was neither the one they went to on Father's day, which was the one closest to home, nor the one they went to when they first met Declan. Daizi thought about mentioning her...

"Meeting in person may be easier," Dark said slowly, looking to the twins for confirmation, wanting them to have as much control over the situation as they could, "I suspect our schedule is more open than yours is, presently." Ivy spat out the pacifier and cooed at her mother, who shushed her...
