(oh oof
have fun though!)

"Yeah, baby," he cooed, letting go of the toy. Glancing up at Devon, he grinned. "How am I doing so far?"

@blue_topaz

:D

Sebastian felt utterly ridiculous, beaming widely with a baby doll in his hands, but for once, he didn't mind being vulnerable in front of others. "Yeah, Bahstin. Do you want baby to do another dance?"

@blue_topaz

"Go ahead," Sebastian replied, busying himself with choreographing yet another dance. This is harder than I thought…
(sorry my replies are so short..)

@Imperfect_Autumn group

(It's fine! I don't expect a novel. Lol.
Ah! I'm finally back!!!)

Devon smiled softly at the two as she made her way to the kitchen. It was really sweet how caring he was toward Layla; way more than she had ever expected him to be.

@blue_topaz

(Lol
Eyy how was everything?)

They continued to play until Sebastian set the doll aside. He picked up another toy, hoping she liked the change.

@Imperfect_Autumn group

(I got so bored the last two hours… I had nothing to do because it was too dark to read… And the wifi is really slow here. lol.)

Devon stepped back into the room with two glasses of water; one for herself and one for Sebastian.

"I brought you some water. I know you said you didn't want one, but…" she shrugged as she set it on the coffee table. "It's here if you want it."

Layla looked at the new toy, confused. What was wrong with the baby? Couldn't they keep paying with her? "No baby?"

@blue_topaz

(Oh Oof)

Sebastian bit his lip, before exhaling. “Thanks, Devon.” To Layla, he quickly ammended his mistake. “Yeah, sorry, baby.”

@Imperfect_Autumn group

Layla looked between the two toys, now confused. "Baby? Toy? Baby and toy?" Surely they could play with both…

Devon nodded slowly and sat back down on the couch, watching them play as she sipped on her water.

@blue_topaz

Sebastian sagged his shoulders, raising his head with an amused expression. “Of course. Yeah. Both at the same time?” He picked up the baby again, offering it to her.

@blue_topaz

Sighing humorously, he obliged. “You do this everyday?” he asked Devon, attempting to make the toy do a can-can.
(G’morning! How are you?)

@Imperfect_Autumn group

(Morning! Tired. Lol. I was up until 1 am RPing. That was smart of me.
You?)

"Sometimes. I think she's just enjoying you playing with her today," Devon chuckled as Layla bubbled happily. "She likes Blues Clues, so we'll watch that together a lot of the time."

@blue_topaz

(Big oof, I’d tell you you should sleep more, and you should, but then I’d be a huge hypocrite
I’m good, in the car with my whole family for the next eight hours lol)

The name of the show didn’t ring a bell, and he frowned slightly. Regaining his smile, he switched from can-can to Macarena.

@Imperfect_Autumn group

(Lol. I don't do it often.
Lol x2. I did the same thing yesterday, but there are only four of us and we have a minivan, so it's not super crowded.)

Layla's giggles slowed, and she yawned cutely. All of this dancing was tiring, and she wasn't even the one doing it!

"Layla, are you sleepy? Ready for a nap?" Devon asked, standing.

"Nooooooo!!! No nap!" the girl cried, clinging to Sebastian. "Play wif Bahstin!"

@blue_topaz

(Oof
I won’t be on that much this week after today, we’re going somewhere for the last week of winter break)
(Also, just out of curiosity, how old do you think I am?)

Sebastian laughed softly, wrapping his arms around the tiny child. “Here, I’ll make you a deal. I’ll put you up on my shoulders and walk around, okay? But only if you nap and listen to mommy, hm?” He glanced at Devon to verify that this was okay.

@blue_topaz

(Ahh I’ll keep that a secret for now. Sorry I’m really paranoid online, I was just curious on how old you thought I was)

Sebastian booped her nose, tickling under her chin. “Fun later, remember? Can you be a good girl for your mommy?”

@Imperfect_Autumn group

(Oh, lol. That's fine. I'll put my age up, but bit my real name. Very few people on here know my real name, and that's just because I've formed trust with them. Like Nat. We text back and forth, like I told you a while ago. She's the only person on here who knows what I really look like, too, besides Camie. And my irl friend, oc.)

Layla pouted and turned away from him. She thought she was going to get her ride first.

"Sorry, she gets cranky when she's tired," Devon said with a small smile. "I'll just be right back. If you want, you can take a seat on the couch or a chair while you're waiting."

@blue_topaz

(Right, makes sense. I probably wouldn’t put my name up either, since it isn’t very common and hints at my heritage)

Sebastian nodded, ruffling his hair. “Alright, thanks, let me know if you need any help.”

@Imperfect_Autumn group

(Hm, yeah. Mine is just uncommonly spelled.)

Devon nodded at him quickly before she started toward Layla's bedroom. She set the girl down in her bed, and Layla immediately started crying.

"No, Layla. It's nap time. No crying," Devon said gently, tucking her daughter in.

Layla continued to cry, rolling around and squirming in protest. Devon sighed and shook her head. They both knew this wasn't going to get the child anywhere, so the crying and such was pointless.

"Good night, Layla," Devon said as she backed out of the room, shut the light off, and closed the door behind herself.

After she made her way back to the living room, she sat down on the couch with a sigh. Layla's protesting could be heard from her room, and Devon grimaced a little.

"Sorry about her… She hates naps," she said, turning to Sebastian with a sheepish look. "She'll fall asleep soon."

@blue_topaz

(Coolio)

Sebastian frowned slightly in the direction of the bedroom, but he wasn’t about to question any parenting methods, so he turned back to Devon. “It’s fine, and I can relate,” he said with a slight chuckle.

@Imperfect_Autumn group

(Another 8ish hour drive tomorrow… Whoopdeedoo…)

"Oh, you're not a nap kinda guy?" Devon asked with a chuckle. "Yeah, she needs them, though. Perks of being a kid: you get to sleep all day."

@Imperfect_Autumn group

(My phone!!! My lovely phone!!! Oh, how I’ve
missed it! Lol.)

Devon smiled and nodded a little. “Yeah. I just have begun to enjoy sleep again. Having a child does that to you. I was up multiple times during the night for the first year and a half or so with Layla.”
