You'd think that by now, Vi and Steph may have started connecting some dots about the school dance and started preparing accordingly. But judging from the clothing flung haphazardly around the apartment, no, they definitely had not.

Still half asleep and looking forward to spending a long, lazy weekend in bed, Vi pulled the blankets in tighter around her, curling in closer to Steph to make up for the brazen theft.

"Sorry, but you are," Amber informed Cerise, somehow smug and sympathetic at once. "You're just gonna have to live with it like me."

Steph leaned over and gave Vi another quick kiss, over the sound of Amber's protests.

"Because we are the best, babe."

Cerise added her own protests to the chorus to be soundly ignored.

"The absolute best."

Steph grinned goofily over at Vi, prompting another gagging noise from Amber. "Love you so much."

Look, if their plans for the day were going to be derailed due to surprise kid visits she wasn't above grossing them out about it.

Besides it gave them something to bond over.

"Love you too," Vi said with a crooked grin. "All of you."

Pain shared and all that, right?

"Love you too, Mom," Amber said, hugging her. "Even if you are weird and embarrassing sometimes."

"It is literally a child's obligation to think that about their parents at some point," Steph informed her. "So of course we are."
