“Hey there, Renee! Your dad said you like Voidcritters? I love Voidcritters!”
“Yeah, uncle Beau! Most of my friends at school are boring and don’t care about how cool Voidcritters are. But if you ask me, most of the girls at my school are interested in kinda lame stuff that I don’t care about. Leaf and his friends are WAY cooler than the Llama Brothers!”
“Hey, Renee! How about we do our nails and hair tonight?”
“Uh, no thanks. It’s just gonna get messed up when we go to bed!”
“Daddy? Papa? What’s woohoo?”
“U-Uhm, well… Hey! Let’s talk about sports instead! I heard you’re playing soccer in gym?”
“Looks like it’s your turn now! Good luck!”
“Thanks, but I don’t think I’ll need it.”
“Push, dear. The baby needs some help.”
“I’m pushing! I’m pushing! Holy fuck it fucking hurts!”
“Let’s not expose the baby to such harsh language.”
“I spent a year on a fucking island with no indoor plumbing! I’ve earned my right to say ‘fuck’ as much as I fucking please!”
“Maybe try ‘hecking’ instead?”
It was expected of Buck to handle most of the morning routine. Waking up Connor, preparing breakfast, and taking Teddy outside were all just part of the daily workload. That said, when he wasn’t up early, something was usually the matter.
“What does the pudgy human want me to do? He seems happy when I do the rollies? Tummy rubs when?”

“Hey, sleepyhead!” Jill’s cheerful tone faded upon observing her husband’s appearance. “You slept late today.”
“Are you feeling okay? You’re all flushed.” She placed a cool hand on his cheek.
“Dot perfect, but I cahd badage.”
“You sound awful, hon. I’ll take care of everything today. You just get back up to bed, okay?”
“Are you sure?”
“Absolutely.”
Under a mess of blankets, Buck was barely visible. Jill provided him with just about everything she thought he would need, not exactly predicting that he’d be out like a light and let his tea get cold. She made note to heat it up later.
Jill couldn’t quite tell if he was still asleep or about to wake up, but she was going to check on him either way.
“Hmmm, still warm.” She mumbled.
Gently standing up as to not wake Buck, Jill whispered: “let me know if you need anything, alright?” There was a high chance he didn’t hear her, but it was worth a shot.

“So the psychic Voidcritters are really cool!”
…
“I’ve never taken a train! Mayhew usually drives me around in our limo, but Daddy and Papa are thinking about getting me a helicopter when I become a teen! Aren’t you excited for your teen transition, Renee?”
“Uh, not really. But I’m looking forward to being old enough to understand those boy bands you like. Maybe when I’m a teen, I’ll like them.”
“So, Beau, did you change your mind about visiting my sister? They have the strawberry banana baby food you like so much. Edie’s willing to share if you come with.”
“I told you, I’m not going. I have work all week! Plus, your sister’s wife always gives me dirty looks!”
“I know you’ve got at least three vacation days, and Val shouldn’t be a problem since she’ll be out with that… librarian glasses club thing of hers. You’ll be fine.”
“Okay, then what about that stupid cat of hers? I’m allergic to cats. I could die!”
“No, you just sneeze all day and complain. You can take something, can’t you?”
“Uhh, I’m pretty sure it’s rude to sleep all day at someone else’s house!”
“Fine, fine! Don’t go! I swear to the Watcher you’ve got an excuse for everything!”
“… Wait. What was that earlier? About the strawberry banana baby food?”
