"Honey? I'm home! ...Sarabi?" Tawn walked farther down the hallway, and peered into the living room. "Are you even here?" He was answered by silence, and he couldn't say that he was entirely surprised. Night before last, he'd come home to find a note saying she'd gone to spend the night at her mother's. And last night, he'd gotten in so late that, the time he did, she was asleep- and was gone again before he woke up. It seemed all they were these last two days were a.. symphony of near-misses.
He looked around for a note, but there was nothing- so took it as meaning she'd be back. Then it hit him- she was probably out looking for a job. That would be why she'd been gone so much the past few days. He could just imagine her hitting the pavement, spending these miserably hot days out looking. Tawn thought that the least he could do for his wife was to make dinner, so that she'd have something to relax to when she did get home.
So he sat on the couch and started to look through their one and only cookbook- a gift from Doomi's sister.

Sarabi opened the door and closed it behind her with a sigh, leaning back aginst it and droping her bag with a sigh. She weakly waved to Tawn and made her way over to the couch, floping down with a thud. She was so tired...after she had babysat Isto son Cody for two hours, she had to put in three more at Doomis, then she took one more hour of job searching, which didnt go well at all. She groaned and whiped some sweat of her forehead. "Tawn baby I need a huug." She wined. She had something very important to tell him...but it would have to wait, atleast till her headache went away..

Tawn, who by this time had pushed up his sleeves and started to knead the dough to what was going to end up as his mother's favorite deep-dish pizza recipe, wiped his hands off on his jeans at this statement, and without a word walked over to his exhausted wife with arms outstretched. Only after he gave her the long, comforting embrace that she needed, did he give her a little kiss on her forehead, right beside a stray strand of blonde hair, and say,
"Something the matter? You look exhausted."

Tawn was just the best ever. He made her feel so much better, it was amazing. Sarabi happily excepted the hug, and nuzzled deeper into his embrace, ready to explain her problems. "Im just tired. Ive been babysitting around, and looking for a job. Which reminds me, I saw Isto. He said hes going to look around for me. The trouble is im not such what I want to do.." She took his hand, instantly feeling the soft flowering feeling on his skin. "What have you been up too?" She asked curiously.

"That's great- I'm glad Isto is going to try and help you out. ...How is he doing? I haven't seen him since the wedding." He motioned to the kitchen, with her last statement. "Just making some dinner- I thought it might be a nice surprise to have something waiting for you when you got back. I didn't know you were going to be home so soon." ...After all, the last few days he'd hardly seen anything of his wife at all. But he didn't want to press- she must be exhausted, out looking for work, and helping her mother.

"Hes doing ok. He hasnt been getting any sleep lately though, specialy not with Cody around. That boy clings to him like velcro. I babysat him today, so Isto could get some sleep. It went fine for about two hours, but as soon as he realized Isto was not there, he started bawling and shrieking, the poor thing. Hopefully its just a fase though. We'll have to go and see him sometime." She said, reaching in her bag, and grabing a stick of gum. "Dinner? For me. Oh Tawn, your the greatest!" She said, wraping him in another hug. She would have to tell him during dinner, she decided.

Tawn laughed. "Hardly." With that, he picked up his wife, slung her over his shoulder with ease, and walked her into the kitchen, where he plopped her down on the counter. Then he pulled a drink out of the fridge and handed it to her, and went back to putting together the pizza.
"It was nice of you to babysit. What else did you do today?"

Sarabi giggled and tried to tickle Tawn as she was lifted up into the air. Sarabi took a long, refreshing sip of the drink and sighed heavily hesitating a moment before repling.
"Well, after that I headed over to Doomis to drop off some stuff, and got stuck babysitting. I wouldnt mind so much, but the triplets."
She rolled her eyes at the thought of the tree little demons running around the house, leaving there little sintastic turds all over the place for people to step in..
"She has a new little one in the house again. Its a Jivvin, like Moriah. Hes odd though..did I say odd? I meant crazy!" She shook her head and took another swig of water. "Hey, did you mom say she got a Jivvin? Rhea is it?"

Tawn listened while she talked, sleeves still rolled to his elbows. By the time he turned to her to answer, he was knuckle-deep in toppings.
"Mm-hmm. I meant to tell you yesterday, but you came in so late. It feels a little strange to have another little sister- but Mom even says there may be another one around after not too long. She's planning on getting a GMFC appointment." He slid the pizza into the oven, and leaned up against the counter to talk, "I never thought I'd be the oldest of five kids. All these little ones going to be running around. It's crazy!"

Kids running around...yea crazy.
"I know, where so old!"
She teased, and got down off the counter to help set the table.
"Thats so great about your mom though! Winning that contest. I cant wait to have another little sister or brother to steal away and spoil."
She grinned, and poped a spare peperoni in her mouth.
"Rhea will have to meet Squidley some day. Yes, thats his name. I swear, my mum must be on some kind of pills.."

"Squidley?" Tawn wiped off the counter, and put away the rest of the fixings. "That sounds like Moosie had some part in that. ...By the way, we still have to send her a thank you note for her wedding gift."

"You should hear his first name. Which of corse, is alllll Moosies. Tamsnidsquidley133699@ROFL. How outrageously retarded is that?" She said trying to hide a little smirk. "But, when you put Moosie and Doom together, thats what you get. Yea, that present was cute." She smiled, looking up at the wall to see the framed portrait of her and Tawns chibified heads. "But Squidley is very strange. Oh, I almost forgot, he also had hypnotizing powers. How fun. He tricked me into making him a peanut butter smoothie twice before I relized it, the little bugger. I had to put one of Doomi's spare eye patches on him to stop." She said, sitting down at the table, waiting for the pizza to cook.

Tawn laughed. "Hypnotizing? Woow... yeah, remind me to stay away from him. Jivvins are a strange sort- I've only spent a little time with Rhea, but she's so different from my other sisters. So... delicate, and precise." He shrugged, and gave a sideways glance at the timer. "But that could also be her rank- she's a vhaid." He shrugged. "Not that I entirely know a lot about the Jivvins. I've got my hands full with the Skull Monkeys."
This reminded him of his stressful day at work, and he crossed his arms, wondering, before he turned back to his wife. "Did you hear about all the crazy things going on at the center? There were two tailless pebbles that were found- and then Pove took them, and..." he went through the entirety of the story. Only at the end did the timer go off.
"Pizza's done! ...Say, would you like some wine with dinner? We still have one of our wedding bottles- but I don't know if you really think pizza and champagne go together."

"Well, ive driven Moriah to the center before, and talked with her a little, and shes seems alright. She doesnt have any powers or anything like Squid. Just wings." She shrugged, and brushed the pink tips of hair out of her eyes.
"Tailess pebbles aye? Thats strange, never heard of that before. I bet they'll end up fine though, especially if you find them good homes." She nodded.
"Wine..." She opened her mouth to say yes, but then closed it shut again, biting her lower lip. "Um, no thanks hunny, I think ill just stick with water tonight." She said unhappily. Whine would have been nice, especially with the day she had had. She placed her hand lightly on her belly, staring at the floor in thought for a moment, before snaping back to realitly and grabing a slice of pizza. "Tawn I have something to tell you..."

Tawn was just cutting up the pizza, but at the sound in his wife's voice, he put the knife down on the counter next to the stove- it left a blob of sauce on the light green countertop, but he didn't pay it any mind- he'd clean it up later.
"Yes?" He said, walking over to her and putting his hands on her knees.
