Early morning, too early for Dark, when the sun was rising over their crumpled sheets, Ivy decided it was the perfect time to remind them they were, in fact, parents. Forcing himself up and out of bed, he retrieved her from the nursery, where she had slept overnight for the first time, and brought her back to Daizi. After giving a kiss to them both, he went into the bathroom to quickly wash his face and brush his teeth, and then went downstairs to cook breakfast to his wife. Smiling at the sight of the wilted petals and melted candlesticks, he hummed lightly to himself as he cooked.
When Ivy was fed, changed, and ready for the day, Daizi came downstairs and kissed her husband behind his ear. At the end of their breakfast, Dark texted Xander, When am I picking you up?, knowing between the two, he was more likely to answer than Alec.
