(Yeah sure
Who should suggest it?)

(Problem is, idk if Sebastian would either
Maybe Layla and Ella are crying their eyes out and don’t want to leave each other at all, so Seb and Devon organize something together?)

(Lol. I didn’t think so, tbh.
That sounds good!)

( Alright sounds good
not it)

(sigh Okay.
Btw, if I don’t respond for a while, I’m probably driving. Or with my friend. Or both.)

Devon smiled as she stepped into the daycare. It had been a good day at work for her, and her manager had dropped a hint that she might get promoted soon. Overall, she was unusually happy by the time she got to pick her daughter up.

As soon as she stepped into the room, her daughter saw her and ran toward her, squealing happily. “Mommy, mommy, mommy!”

Devon laughed and scooped her little blonde girl up, kissing her nose once hey were at the same height. “Hey, babycakes. You ready to go home?”

Sebastian bounced Ella up and down, practically overflowing with joy as the little girl buried her face in his shoulder and hugged him as tight as her little arms could. “I missed you,” he whispered playfully in her ear, before blowing a raspberry against her cheek. She giggled uncontrollably, reaching up to grab his nose. “Daddy missed you— did ou miss daddy?” Ella nodded vigorously.

Nuzzling his daughter affectionately, Sebastian turned to leave the room— just as Ella caught sight of her best daycare friend. “La-la!!” She yelled, reaching out towards Layla.

At the sound of her name, Layla squirmed in her mother’s arms, almost getting dropped in the process. She giggled at the sight of her friend and reached out for her.

“El! El!” she squealed excitedly.

Devon struggled to hold onto the squirming child before finally just setting her down. The little girl ran over, with her mother close behind, and attached herself to Sebastian’s leg.

“Layla, no. Let go of Sebastian, honey,” Devon said, walking a little faster to get there.

Sebastian almost fell over when a heavy object latched onto his leg. He quickly steadied himself and made sure that Ella was still upright, before peering down to see that Layla was currently wrapped around his lower leg. In his arms, Ella squealed as loudly as her little lungs could muster and tried to launch herself down towards the floor, which nearly caused him to topple again.

"Ella!" Finally, he managed to steady himself against the wall and carefully set his daughter down, laughing quietly. "Hey there, Layla. Where's your mother?"

“Mommy coming,” the little girl declared with a grin as she looked up at him. “El! Hi!!!”

Devon chuckled softly as she reached the trio. She gave Sebastian an apologetic look as she moved to detatch her daughter from his leg.

“Sorry about that… She likes to hug people,” she apologized with a small smile.

Sebastian stifled another quiet laugh, running a hand through his hair. "Don't worry about it, I don't mind." He was about to say more when Ella cut him off and launched herself towards Layla, wrapping the tiny girl up in a sloppy hug.

"They really like each other, don't they?" He shook his head with an amused smile. "Anyways, how are you?"

“It would certainly seem so,” Devon agreed as she watched her daughter with an amused look on her face. She glanced up at his question and nodded slowly. “I’m pretty good today. What about you?”

Layla squealed happily and hugged the younger girl back. “El! You play with the babies?”

Ella let out a squeal that Sebastian assumed meant something along the lines of 'yes'. He glanced back up at Devon, tugging at the collar of his sweater. "I'm okay." Unsure how to continue, he elected to bend down and scoop Ella up. The decision was not received well. His daughter immediately began to scream in protest, tears forming in her eyes.

Devon blinked as Ella started to scream. Looking down, she saw that Layla was nearly on the verge of doing that herself.

Her daughter was pouting, her little lower lip quivering as she looked up at her friend. “Noooooo,” she whined as Devon tried to pick her up.

“I’m so sorry,” Sebastian apologized vigorously, frantically bouncing Ella up and down. “Shhh, sweetheart, it’s okay, you’ll see Layla tomorrow,” he tried to console her, but the little girl was having none of it. Tears began to leak from her dark jade eyes, her bottom lip trembling.

“Don’t worry about it,” Devon mumbled as she also tried to calm her own daughter. “Layla, honey, you need to stop whining. Remember, whining is bad. It gets you a timeout with no toys.”

This statement certainly did not help the situation, and Layla cried harder. Devon chewed on her lip as she tried to think of a way to calm the girl down, though nothing came to mind.

Ella reached for her friend, gazing imploringly up at her father. Sebastian groaned and looked away. “Come on, El, not the puppy eyes…..” he complained, which only caused the little girl to cry harder. “Come on, why don’t we go home? You can have a smoothie?”

“Elllllllaaaaaaaaaa,” Layla cried, reaching out to grab her friend’s hands. She couldn’t teach them, which only caused her to cry harder.

Devon cringed and tried to pulled her daughter back. “No, baby, we’re going home now… What if mommy plays with your babies with you again?”

“Noooo! Ella!” Layla pouted, her cheeks bright red and her eyes wet with tears.

Sebastian almost dropped his daughter when she tried to spring from his arms, and had to set her down. She immediately ran to Devon and latched onto her leg like a baby koala, causing Sebastian to groan again. “C’mon, El…”

Devon chewed on her lip as the smaller girl attached herself to her leg. She glanced up at Sebastian before turning back to Layla. With a sigh, she kissed her daughter’s forehead.

“Maybe… What if we let them have a play date or something?” she suggested, looking over at Sebastian.

Sebastian blinked, surprise overtaking his features at the suggestion. He crouched down, still trying to coax Ella back into his embrace, but kept his eyes on Devon's. "Uh, sure, if you're cool with that. Right now?" Ella, hearing the words 'play date' gave an ecstatic squeal, trying to climb up Devon's leg and get to Layla.

“Well…” Devon hummed, shifting Layla to check the time on her phone. “If you’re okay with that, sure.”

"Sounds good," Sebastian answered before he could give it much thought, reaching out to detach Ella from Deovn's leg but pulling back at the last second, not wanting to make her uncomfortable by touching her. "Ella, did you hear that? A playdate with Layla!" Ella's adorable eyes went wide. She leaped down from her position, stumbling, but he caught her before she could fall. "My place or yours?"

Layla giggled and squirmed in Devon's arms, causing her mother to answer distractedly, "Um, mine? Mine is fine. If that's okay."
