Tommy sighed and looked at Clementine and Shroud again. They were both asleep and didn't want to wake up. He couldn't understand how hard it was to get two children to wake up when they didn't want to.

"C'mon, Clem, Shroud! It's time to get up!" He said. Nothing happened so he went and opened the curtains, letting all the sunlight inside. That caused both of them to bury their faces in their pillows.

"Don't wanna.." Shroud mumbled. He pulled his blanket over his pointy ears and fluffy black hair.

"For fucks sake!" Tommy groaned. Then he got the best idea ever - it wasn't an idea he would love to share with the other parents though. Maybe not 10/10 parenting, but well.

He whispered a quiet spell around both of the children because he didn't want them getting hurt in the process. Then he grabbed them from their beds, ignoring their groans, and carried them outside.

He walked to the beach and just tossed them on the water. The spell protected them from getting wet and drowning, but it still didn't feel that pleasant.

Sally appeared from underneath the children and picked them up. She swam to the shore and handed Tommy his children, who were now fully awake. They weren't so happy, just a bit annoyed by the way they had been woken up.

"I did nay expect that there to be the first thin' I saw when I woke to the sky," Sally sighed and glanced at the trio. She knew Tommy would have been fine by himself too getting the children back, but she had wanted to help him.

"These little sh-, kids didn't wanna wake up so I had to improvise," Tommy answered and gave Sally an innocent smirk. He really had to be careful not to swear around the children because he had heard from Wilbur what had happened with himself and Grian. Well, at least both of his kids had already said their first words.

"Well, they don't look so 'appy, but at least they be awake!" Sally chuckled. "But 'ay! I just realized that there ye 'aven't introduced me to them!" She pointed out. That was actually true. Tommy hadn't ever introduced his children their aunt.

"Clementine, Shroud, this is your aunt, Sally. She's the wife of my biological brother. Don't worry, she doesn't bite and is actually really nice!" Tommy explained. He smiled to his children, who he was still holding on his arms.

"'ay little ones! Me name be Sally! Nice to meet ye!" Sally said. She smiled brightly to the two kids.

"Hey," Shroud smiled shyly. Tommy thought he looked really adorable when he smiled like that.

"Hey," Clementine said. She was smiling a bit too. Tommy knew he had the most adorable children ever.

"Aww, ye two be so adorable!" Sally chuckled. She remembered when her son had still been a baby.

"Wanna come spend some time with us, Sally? I have these two with me all day today and I would really like it if you joined us," Tommy said. He really wanted Sally to come with them because he was a bit paranoid about going to the forest alone with two children. He didn't want to accidentally lose one.

"Sure! I don't 'ave anythin' else to do today!" Sally smiled. She loved spending time with Tommy and little children.

Tommy smiled back at her, "Amazing! We're going to the forest!" He gestured towards the forest behind him. "It's mostly safe, but there might still be some imps," He added, making Sally nod. She already knew about the imps.

"We 'ave to just stay together an' we'll be fine," She said. Then she offered her hands towards Tommy to show him that she could take one of the children from him to help him out.

"Should, my dear, do you wanna go to aunt Sally? She will hold you tightly and I'm right here next to you," Tommy spoke and smiled softly to his son. He watched as Shroud shyly nodded and handed him to Sally.
