☆Alexis' POV
“Wait what?!”.
“Well at least you'll be home more now”.
Ruth-Alma shoots her sister a look.
“What? I like it when she's home” Poppy says.
She squeezes herself beside me and I throw an arm around her.
“Well at least you'll be tired of me soon” I say and press a kiss to her head.
Ruth-Alma gives me a sad look. I gesture with my head and she joins in the cuddle.
I sigh.
“Isn't this nice?” I say.
They giggle.
“The vibration tickles” Poppy says.
There's a knock on the door.
“And sadly nice feelings don't last long” Ruth-Alma says.
“Girls you in there?” Robert asks.
Ruth-Alma rolls her eyes.
“Dad we're not disturbing her, promise!”.
“Yeah, we're being good. Right Alex?”.
I caress Poppy's hair and smile.
“Perfect angles”.
The doorknob turns and Robert is standing there.
“Right. Bedtime”.
“But it's only 5pm” Poppy states.
“Yeah. Bedtime is 8 when mom's here. And yesterday you agreed to let us go to sleep at 8:47”.
“Well girls, I bent my rules a little too much recently and somebody got into a butt load of shit...”.
My hands fly over to Poppy's ears to cover them. Robert sighs and clears his throat.
“Now then, bedtime is when I say it is” he says. “Upstairs. C'mon girls”.
I let go of Poppy and Ruth-Alma takes her hand. They give me a look.
“Don't worry. It's not like I'll disappear in the morning or anything” I tell them.
Poppy gives me a hug and walks out the door. I sigh and catch Robert's eye.
“Stay here and think about what you've done” he tells me.
I nod.
“Yes sir”.

I lift up the jug and groan.
"Great, now I'm out of water" I say sarcastically.
I sigh and walk out the door to the kitchen.
"Morning Maya" I greet as I walk into the kitchen.
"Oh why hello my darling girl. We're glad to have you home. Sleep well?".
I position the jug underneath the faucet and turn it on.
"Try being grounded by Dean Emerson".
She raises her brows quickly and sips her coffee.
"I can't even imagine it. But lemme ask, did you do all that they said you did?".
I turn off the faucet and the water ceases. Setting the jug down, I turn to her.
