"Excuse me." Sayo says, making you look up at her. You hold back on rolling your eyes, far too busy and tired to deal with anyone. You wait for her to speak, but she takes too long for your liking, so you end up asking,

"Can I help you?" You ask, trying your best to hide the annoyance in your voice but it still reflects. She luckily doesn't notice it, or doesn't care enough to address it. You don't mean to be rude to her but so much is going on and you have no idea how to deal with it.

"I want to go out this weekend and get to know my husband's friends a little more... Would you care to join us?" She offers, and you end up sighing before a fake smile appears on your lips. You end up shaking your head.

"I'm sorry, I'm quite busy on weekends. Your mother-in-law keeps me busy." You answer, and you hope that's enough to keep her off your back. But it isn't. She still stands at your desk and she ponders your responses for a moment.

"I'll talk to her." She responds, and before you insist that she shouldn't, that you're not in the mood to go out. If you get a day off, you'll spend time with your son, certainly not with Satoru and his wife. You know that you'll get a message from Mrs. Gojo later, and she'll give you the day off.

"Mommy..." Ren taps your face to wake you up. His morning breath hits your nose. You scrunch your nose while your hand goes to cover his mouth as your eyes slowly open. You finally take your hand off his mouth when you sit up. You look at the clock that's in the corner of your nightstand, and you're definitely not late for anything. In fact, you don't have to start getting ready yet. You have around three hours to go.

"What's up, baby?" You ask him, your hand going to his soft white hair and caressing it.

"I'm hungry." He informs you as a yawn leaves your lips. It causes him to yawn as well and you chuckle. You stand up from the bed and begin to walk to the bathroom. He begins to follow, which is something that you quickly got used to. The moment Ren began to walk, he followed you everywhere which meant you no longer had any sort of privacy.

"Brush your teeth." You tell him pointing at the little stool that's in front of the sink, which was put there to help him reach the sink. The tip of his tongue sticks out as he remembers to follow every step of what you've taught him: wet the brush, apply some toothpaste, wet the brush again, then smile as he brushes his teeth.

When you're done, you wash your hands and when you finish washing your hands, he's done brushing his teeth. He steps off the stool and patiently waits for you, sitting on the bathroom floor as you brush your teeth and quickly wash your face. You dry your face with a towel and then walk out the door, not saying anything because Ren just follows behind.

"What do you want to eat, Ren?" You ask him as you walk to the kitchen. You have more than enough time to make a big breakfast, so you can give him whatever he asks for.

"Waffles... and yogurt." He answers. So you'll give him that for breakfast, along with some fruit. You open the fridge to grab a cup of yogurt for him, so he can eat it while you prepare the rest of his breakfast. You give him a strawberry yogurt with a blue plastic spoon while you begin to make the rest of his breakfast.

"Do you want to do something fun this weekend, honey? I'm off this weekend." You inform your son, and he puts a finger to his chin, pouting his lips. He begins to brainstorm what he wants to do instead of eating his breakfast. While he thinks about it, you try to think of how you'll deal with Mrs. Gojo, Satoru, and Sayo. Mrs. Gojo didn't give you the weekend off out of her goodwill; you're not sure if the woman knows of that word.

"Can we go to the park?" He asks and you hum in response. He smiles brightly before he realizes something... He doesn't know when it'll all happen. "When's the weekend?"
