Chapter 11 - Peaceful Moments

Rose wriggled around and let out a squeak of joy, immediately waking the silver-haired man next to her. She giggled and gently took his hair into her hands, twisting in through and around her fingers. The man's eyes looked down to her, from how tired he was they seemed to glow amongst the darkness the rest of his face had glazed on it. She reached up and the man pulled her close to him, a low grumble coming from behind her. She turned her head to see her father, restful and quiet. Slowly beginning to wake up, but the other man brushed his cheek gently and smiled. Taking Rose and standing up, covering Ethan back up and smiling.

Heisen sighed, he was restless enough compared to Ethan that he assumed now was a better time for him to play the parent. Slowly he dragged himself into the kitchen, setting Rose down in a highchair that must've been put there yesterday to accommodate the little one. He started himself some coffee and looked at the little girl, who was gurgling and reaching for the fridge. He confusedly walked over, opening it up and seeing a bottle of formula and some eggs. He smiled, shaking the formula and giving it to rose. Grabbing the eggs and some sausage he began to cook breakfast, the smell luring Bene out from her room.

"Mmmh, who's cooking and why are they good at it...?" Heisen giggled.

"It's me Bene, why don't you sit down?" Bene nodded, Heisen began to boil water now for Bene's tea. The room was quiet other than Heisen's shuffling as he made sure everything was perfect. Then Rose squealed, Bene chuckled. Now being awake enough to reach over and gently tickle the little girl. Rose continued to giggle and Heisen seemed to smile a bit wider every time she began again. Bene noticed and smiled.

"You're playing parent, hm?" Bene said, nearly laughing at a statement which seemed so ridiculous in reference to the headstrong metal worker. Heisen rolled his eyes.

"I want her to be happy instead of having to wait for her lazy dad." Ros squealed and giggled at this statement, Heisen couldn't help but chuckle as well. After a while he had finished everything up for now, carefully he dished out plates for Bene and Rose. Giving Bene hers straight away while he carefully crushed up and made sure Rose's scrambled eggs were cool. After placing a bib on Rose and cautioning Bene, he gave Rose her food. He sighed, leaning onto the counter. Just then Moreau ran out, hugging Heisen and hitting him right in the stomach. "Agh-"

"Oh my, I'm so sorry Heisen!!" Moreau seemed to yell out. Heisen patted the short man and giggled.

"Nah, it's alright Moreau, why don't you sit down and I'll get you breakfast." Moreau lit up with joy and ran over to climb into the seat next to Bene. Heisen chuckled once more before plating Moreau some food. Giving Bene her tea now that he was done and giving Moreau some milk. Both of the shorter lords lit up with joy, it warmed Heisen's heart. He sighed, once again leaning onto the counter and yawning. He was still pretty tired, that was the first time he had slept peacefully in awhile, and he needed it way more. He put his hand on his cheek to support his head as he started to doze off. Drifting away only a moment before a familiar voice rang out.

"What's going on in here?" The lord jumped up at her voice, rubbing his eyes and chuckling.

"I made breakfast, Alcina."

"Oh, why thank you." The tall lady took her seat, smiling as Heisen handed her a plate and glass of wine. She raised an eyebrow, "You think I drink this earl-" She was cut off.

"I know you do, I know we do." He smiled at her and she sighed, nodding in agreement and taking a sip. They all ate as Heisen turned his attention back to little Rose, who was somehow not a mess. He smiled, cleaning up her dishes and taking her into his arms. Alcina couldn't help but giggle at the sight. "Hey, whatcha laughing at?"

"Oh, the strong metal worker holding a little baby and letting her mess with his hair isn't funny to you??" Heisen shook his head no, he genuinely didn't know where they ever got strong from. He always thought it as "guarded" over strong, although they wouldn't know that. "Well, I guess it's less funny but more adorable." Heisen smiled, he preferred that.

Rose squeaked to get his attention, Heisen looked over and smiled at her. Rose gently ran her hands through his hair, she loved to do that for some reason. Heisen chuckled, "What did you need me for, Rose?" Rose smiled, reaching up and putting her hands onto Heisen's cheeks.

"Papa!!" She smiled widely and Heisen's eyes got wide.

He snuggled close and mumbled, "Mhm, that's me." Rose giggled, messing around with Heisen's hair. The lord was trying not to cry because of how happy he was, this was like a dream to him if he was honest. Just then a warm embrace curled around him, Heisen looked up to see Ethan.

"Tch, she said papa for you before anything for me. Lucky." He smiled and giggled, Rose turned to him.

"Dada!" Ethan chuckled, snuggling the both of them.

"I think we're even then," Heisen mumbled, "right, Ethan?" Ethan nodded and held them close. A happy family, safe and sound.
