Qhuinn giggled, reaching out to touch those big wings. They were so strange to him. He looked up as Zackary kissed his head. "Mmmmmmma!" he mimicked the action but instead blowing a spit bubble.

They moved in closer to the child, stroking him gently. Zackary gave a gentle croon, warning them to be careful. Careful they were as they gently rubbed the child and wrapped around Qhuinn.

Guys, I'm sorry that I haven't been on much lately, I've just been a bit busy. The time skip is okay, considering that the characters are kind of split into two groups.))

((Thanks Koffee, and it's all good in the hood, yo!))
Qhuinn watched them, mesmerized. He reached out to touch them, brushing them gently. He cuddled into them, cooing.

Zackary smiled a little. No child have really ever liked his wings before. They were too big, scary and dark. He hugged Qhuinn close to him, with his wings curled up around them.

Qhuinn's belly growled once more. He whimpered. "Mmmmm…" he began to whine, his lip puckering.

Zackary made a faint noise and stood. “You’re hungry. Guess what, so am I! Let’s find you that formula and get me something to eat…” He plopped down the steps of the home, his wings held behind him happily. They were curled up an exponential amount but they were still happy.

Qhuinn clapped, as if he understood. Once they got to the kitchen, he reached out, trying to reach the fridge handle. Julie had to watch him all the time, because he'd try to open any time he got the chance.

Zackary smiled and shooed his hand of gently. “I’ll get it, little guy.” He popped open the fridge and took out a bottle of formula, shaking the bottle and bumping the fridge closed with a hip. He hummed happily, sitting down in a chair.

There was a note on the table. It was in Juliet's rushed scrawl.

I didn't have time to make you breakfast and I'm so sorry, I promise I'll make it up to you tomorrow. There's leftover and stuff for sandwiches in the fridge. I'm afraid you'll have to go half and half with the turkey and ham since I used a lot for your sandwiches yesterday. I'll bring some more home.

– Juliet

P.S You really shouldn't make sleeping in your arms so comfy….

Zackary caught sight of it and squinted to read it. After reading, he gave a dorky grin and glanced down at Qhuinn, who he started to feed.
“She’s a mess, now, isn’t she? A happy one.”

Qhuinn was not paying attention to Zackary at all. He had his food now and that's all that mattered. His blue eyes did fall on Zack, once or twice, but he just looked at his wings.

Zackary smiled down at the child. “I’m glad I could help you two out. It’s so nice.” He rubbed a bit of formula away, humming softly. He started to rock back and forth in the seat, holding Qhuinn close.

The rocking did the trick. Qhuinn soon forgot about his bottle, about his food as the rhythm lulled him to sleep. The bottle fell from his mouth as he closed his eyes, curling up against Zackary.

Zackary caught the bottle with quick reflex and yawned. He rose from the chair slowly, set the bottle away and checked the time. Hmmm… He grabbed the home phone and dialed Julie’s number (that was on the note because Deus Ex Machina).

((KK))

Juliet answered the phone on the second ring. "Hello – Angela back up! No, it's not Qhuinn." she laughed. "Hello?"

Zackary grinned. “Hey! Just checking in. Did you get there okay?” He kept his voice soft and his wings carefully wrapped around himself and the child.

"Yeah, I did." she replied. She was happy to hear from him, she had looked forward to it all day and apparently, her joy was written all over her face. Angela squealed as she sat beside Juliet. "That's a man's voice, I know it!" she giggled. Juliet shushed her. "Hey, uh- did you get my note?"

Zackary smiled dorkily at the squealing. “Yep, I got it. Sorry I couldn’t be more awake for you. I should’ve woken you up, too.” He gave a slight, sheepish grin, though she couldn’t see it.

"Meh, it's fine. I probably wouldn't have moved if you had woken me up." She laughed. This was nice, getting his call, talking to him as if….
As if he were hers.
Juliet shook her head. Focus, girl. "So, did Qhuinn eat yet?"

Zackary laughed gently with her. “Oh, yep. I did a bit of rocking, though, and he dozed off.” Zackary went up the steps to his room and settled into the bed, smiling.

"Oh, that's good. He's letting you off easy today. He must be in a good mood." she teased. "Give him a kiss for me, will ya?" Angela gasped. "You trust him with the baby? How long have you been with him?" Juliet waved her away.

(Bye Rvan! Good luck with exams!)

“I will give him as many kisses as you need me to, Julie. He’s always in a good mood. He loves me,” He shows off with a hair-flip.
