The children had woken up in A Mood. Simultaneously. It wasn’t uncommon to hear that twins shared a connection and despite being fraternal that wasn’t any less true for Lucy and James. Julianna’s day had started earlier than the last two. Unhappy babbling over the baby monitor on her nightstand woke her, so she shuffled down the hall in her pajamas to greet him. They seemed pleased to see her, but only minutely, whatever had roused them was annoying enough to keep the fussing through the morning.
They didn’t want a bath, they didn’t want to be changed, they didn’t want clothing. They whined and kicked and fought her at every turn. However, this wasn’t Jules’ first rodeo; she’d wrangled plenty of babies through her career, so after some expert handling the twins were cleaned and shoved into matching overalls.
She could hear Owen up and moving around; she’d not even had the chance to brew coffee or even consider what she needed to do for breakfast. She’d missed the first knock on the door, Owen had answered it and he and however had arrived were in his office. She had just finagled the twins into their high chairs when the second knock sounded. This one she moved to answer, but she was intercepted by Owen.
In a towel.
The sight caught her mostly off-guard and she was left hovering the space between the kitchen and the living room, staring at the space between his shoulder blades while he addressed the new guest.
Maeve didn’t even look up from her phone when the door was opened. She held it in both hands and was typing away furiously. A thick-looking file folder was tucked under her arm. Wavy blonde hair was swept to the side and she was dressed in a crisp white blouse and a black pencil skirt. Her red heels clicked on the paneled flooring as she crossed the threshold into the penthouse.
“Almost got us a physicist, is not got us a physicist,” she corrected. She turned her body towards him but continued to look at her phone. Her brow furrowed at whatever had popped up on her screen with the accompanying ding of a message.
Maeve walked while she spoke and typed, maneuvering through the house and towards Owen’s office from muscle memory. She all but walked past Julianna, who was now starting breakfast in the kitchen. Unfamiliar cooking sounds caused Maeve to stop, she looked up from the phone, blinking rapidly to refocus her eyesight on the rest of the world around her. She looked at Owen, just now realizing he was in a towel. She rolled her eyes at him, the perfect semi-circle of violet eyes landed her gaze on Julianna.
She pulled the file from under her arm and held it outwards towards Owen. “Blueprints for the carbon lattice," she explained briefly. "Who is that?” She all but sang the vowels, eyes darting back to Owen. It could only be her wildest dream that Owen had finally gotten rid of Sophia and replaced her with a cooking version. She clicked off her phone and stared at Owen.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
