The morning air was cool, as it always seemed to be in the autumn. Gigi sat on the edge of Gi's bed, watching over her two sleeping kids softly, thinking about things as she silently kicked her feet and made sure no nightmares got them as they slept in together. Watching Gi as she buried herself deep into Vivi, watching as Vivi just held her tighter with every small move, watching the two's silent reminders of "hey, I'm still right here, and I love you" even though the other was oblivious to it even happening.
It was genuinely pure love, and Gigi couldn't stop smiling at the two, well- that was, until the door opened.
"Goo- OH MY GOD GIGI?!"
"Wassup Sammers?" Gigi stated casually, smiling as she leaned back a little bit, acting like she was supposed to be right there that morning. Like she has always been there, despite getting there two nights ago and her nocturnal nature now made her accidentally avoid Sam the entire time so far- she did wonder what the human was doing in there that morning. She never saw them come in to wake either of them up, but she also knew they had overslept the morning before so maybe it was normal.
"I... Okay what the fuck-? How-? Ca- Can I... Come here... Come here." Sam quietly said, gently kneeling on the floor to be at a similar height to the gachapon, though they didn't budge much more than that. Gigi nodded as she slowly shifted onto her feet, then very carefully and slowly started walking over, shuffling a bit as she did so.
"I'm not quite used to uh, walking again yet, gimme a moment you sweet little bean."
"No, no you're fine Gigi I was just worried you'd fall." Sam replied with an awkward little laugh, not even realizing that they had immediately thrown their arms out to catch Gigi if she fell the second they noticed that she was still shaky on her feet. Gigi just smiled at that, nodding once as she shuffled over, and without even asking- she just plopped on the former handler's lap and gave them a tight hug. Sam, used to this, just hugged back just as tight as she gave her a kiss on the top of the head- on the part of it that was still there anyways.
"Which one of the rats do I gotta scold for kidnapping you?" Sam asked teasingly, pulling the toon closer as they blinked back the tears of pure joy they had from being so close to one of the few toons they helped manage along with Sprout, one of the others being Cosmo obviously.
"Scold my baby girl and I'm fighting ya, carrot top. Don't try me!"
"You wouldn't dare, Gigi."
"I would dare."
The two soon were squinting at each other in fake anger, arms still tight around the other, Gigi resting her head against Sam's shoulder and everything. They were definitely going to play fight- if they could have, at least. Gigi soon was rubbing her eyes slightly on the sleeve of her sweater, soon yawning intensely as well, which made Sam raise an eyebrow.
"Did you sleep-?"
"A lil... My head keeps pounding... Makes it hard to stay asleep."
"Oh, yeah I-I can see why that would uh... Happen... Did you want some medicine to help with that?"
"Ah... Yeah, that would be amazin. By the way, when did you start wakin up my kids?" Gigi questioned with a head tilt, which made Sam tilt their head in reply before looking over at the two starting to wake up toons, then looked back at Gigi.
"Oh uh this is new, they just are pretty lazy every morning so I'm trying to see if me waking them up helps. I uh, was not, expecting you."
"Oh, I see, yeah yeah I getcha, lemme handle em while ya get the goods, yeah?" Gigi suggested with her arms crossed and a look of pride in her face, making Sam nod as they stood up and helped Gigi stand up with them.
"Go ahead, I'll be back."
Gigi just nodded, watching Sam leave the room before she looked back at her kids, who were definitely not very awake and just staring at her with squinty, sleepy eyes and no will to get up. Gi especially looked ready to fall asleep again, she was snug as all hell against Vivi, eyes mostly closed and her hands gently gripping parts of Vivi's nightgown. Gigi put her hand to her mouth, thinking as she slightly chewed on her sleeve, then nodded. She then gently climbed onto the bed and sat beside them, gently shaking the two with a warm smile and the usual look of unending motherly love in her eyes.
"Hey babies, it's time to wake up now, we gotta get ready for the big day." She softly told the two, getting puzzled looks from both of them because- nothing was even planned that day. There was nothing special about that day, no plans, no important events- but Gigi knew that fessing up to knowing this would ruin the whole plan. So- she just kept up the act, looking surprised when they both didn't seem to know.
"You two don't know what's going on?! Oh dear, we gotta get you two up, we can't have you two missing out!" Gigi very dramatically told them, which was definitely staring to get their attention, even though Vivi internally swore it really was just another average day.
"What... What even is going on..?" Vivi mumbled as she rubbed her eyes, getting a shrug from Gi as she sat up, giving up on going back to sleep now that she's curious about what her mom was going on about right now.
"What if mama planned a huge surprise for us Viv?"
"I think... She's just fooling us so we'd get up..."
"Now why would mama do such a thing?!" Gi asked as she casually climbed out of bed and went off to get dressed, making Vivi sit up a bit herself and look over at Gigi, who just smiled innocently at her. Vivi squinted at that as she blinked the sleep out of her eyes.
"She sleeps all day Gi, I think she just wants to spend time with us so she got us up earlier." Vivi pointed out groggily as she just flopped against Gigi, who immediately pulled her close and gave her a kiss on the forehead. Vivi smiled warmly at it, snuggling even closer, mumbling a good morning to the other- who immediately whispered one right back. Gi, now wearing one of Vee's stolen hoodies over her pajamas, just paused and looked over at them.
"Oh my goodness you're so right Viv, there's nothing special going on- she just wanted mama time! That's what's special! Mama wants to eat breakfast with us!" Gi excitedly pointed out, looking like she had just solved the world's hardest math problem while bouncing with joy. Vivi just chuckled tiredly at that, while Gigi just nodded along. That- wasn't actually what she was going for, but seeing Gi so genuinely excited to sit down and eat breakfast and start the day was a pretty valid reason to keep this charade up, especially since it actually was working. They were getting up, they were awake, even if Vivi was still quite a bit lazy right now. It was progress, and it definitely surprised Sam when they walked back in.
"Oh, you actually got one of them out of bed, impressive."
"SAM SAM!!! MAMA'S GONNA EAT BREAKFAST WITH ME!!!" Gi excitedly informed the human as she immediately started running around the room in pure joy and whimsy, suddenly being super wide awake despite usually being one of the last toons to get up. Sam just chuckled and nodded, gently helping Gigi take some headache medicine as they kept an eye on the absolutely hyper gachapon running around the room.
"You do know she'll be able to do that a lot more often now, right?"
"Uh-huh! And every morning I get to wake up and see mama right there!! That's really cool!!!" Gi excitedly replied, getting a nice laugh out of the human before they turned to Gigi, who had put her head on their shoulder with a tired mom smile and a look of pure exhaustion in her eyes.
"I think it's really cool I get to wake you up too, kiddo. Maybe tomorrow, when I'm feeling better, you could show me around the town. Show me those spots you kept tellin' me about." Gigi suggested, getting a very loud and excited screech from Gi before she bolted out of the room completely- probably off to go zoomie around the kitchen and torment the two cooking right now, as she always did when she woke up in such a great mood. Vivi just started laughing while Gigi stared in complete shock, having absolutely no idea she was even capable of such a sound.
"That was a yes, mama." Vivi whispered sleepily, getting a slow nod from both Gigi and Sam.
"I have no idea how that kid never looses her voice, she gets so loud sometimes." Sam admitted, patting Gigi's side as the gachapon let out a loud yawn and snuggled up into the handlers soft pajama shirt.
"I'll keep that in mind... She was so quiet at Gardenview..."
"She was because she knew you always had a headache, mama, she really struggled with it too, but she genuinely did her best to be quiet for you. She loves you a lot, mama, just like I do. I'm gonna go make sure she doesn't explode or something..." Vivi explained sleepily, then with a yawn of her own and a very elegant stretch, she slowly got up and walked right out of the room to go keep an eye on her future wife and possibly go grab herself some coffee. Gigi just sighed, burrowing just a little deeper into Sam's shirt with a tired groan. Sam just pulled her a little closer, sitting down on the bed beside her just so she could sit on their lap.
"Take a nap, it's okay, I'll wake you up when the food's done if that's what you're staying awake for." Sam softly reassured, getting a nod from the gachapon, who soon had climbed on to their lap and became a snug little ball of sleepy toon against their chest. Sam just grabbed one of the girl's blankets and wrapped it around Gigi, gave her a kiss on the head and held her close.
"Rest easy, you're safe now, honey."
"I jus care... Dat my baby's okay..."
"Oh trust me, Gi's gonna be just fine, Sprout is soooo protective of her, you have no idea." Sam reassured with a chuckle, not even realizing that Gigi had already dozed off. Though they soon did, as they looked down at her and saw the overly familiar exhausted and finally napping mom look on the other's face, chuckling at how similar she looked to Shanon right now- especially when she first took in Shelly and Vee. That look was near identical to the one Shanon made every time she accidentally fell asleep mid coffee session, and Sam was honestly really feeling that right now.
"Pfft, sleep well, doofus."
Sam just rubbed her side softly as she watched the toon finally get some much needed rest, watching her every slight snuggle deeper into their silky pajama shirt, her every soft breath as she relaxed, the look of pure cozy and comfort on her tired little face. Sam smiled just a little more, pulling the blanket just a little tighter around the other, just to reassure her that she really was safe and sound now - even if the gachapon now only seemed invested in keeping Gi safe now.
"You really are safe now, you'll get so much rest now, it's okay now. You'll be okay... I promise, it'll be okay." Sam whispered as they kept gently tending to the currently fast asleep toon on their lap, continuing to give her gentle affection as they did so. Gigi just kept sinking deeper into their shirt and sleeping even more comfortably as they did so too, her grip slowly lightening up as she let the handler comfort her into a deep sleep, both blissfully oblivious to the crowd that had started to form in the doorway. Sprout had absolutely taken a few pictures of this, Cosmo was looking a bit concerned as he questioned if they should actually get them for breakfast or not, and Vivi- well, she was just watching as she slowly drank her coffee, she didn't seem to have a single thought in her head right now.
"Are... We gonna tell them that breakfast is done or-"
"Let Sam have their moment with her... I actually wanna see how this ends." Sprout whispered to Cosmo, getting a slow nod from the swissroll. So the trio just watched as the two kept bonding on the bed, Sam just whispering to the now sleeping mom snug in their arms, watching closely with honestly a lot of interest. That was, until Gi barged in, which immediately woke up Gigi.
"Mom, mom, food."
"Mhm... I see baby... Gimme a minute..." Gigi mumbled as she rubbed her eyes, letting Gi tug on one of her sleeves as she stretched and slowly woke herself up again. Sam just chuckled at the sight, and soon helped Gigi right onto her feet when she was ready, though the two soon were staring at the group peering in while Gi just ran back off in pure excitement lol
"Were you guys always there?" Sam questioned as they crossed their arms, Gigi soon looking at them, then just copying them before looking back, though it was very obvious she was more amused than anything by this. Sprout just shook his head and walked away, Cosmo shyly nodded a little while Vivi just slowly blinked.
"I forgot what I was doing..." Vivi admitted, getting a good laugh out of Gigi.
"Oh girl that's a mood, I do that a lot. C'mon girl let's go eat before we both pass out again." Gigi replied as she walked over and put her arm around Vivi, who just nodded once and walked off with the other close, looking pleased now. Cosmo just watched them go, then he looked back at Sam, who just patted his head softly.
"You're so caring, Cosmo. I can tell you were just worried about her, I promise you though we got her back now. You feeling good today, buddy?"
"Oh, uh, yeah, very good, thanks for checking on me Sam."
"Hey, it's what I do, dont feel like you have to thank me for being a parent, dork. Now what did you make today?" Sam asked as they pulled the little cake close, getting a tight hug from Cosmo right back as he took his turn snuggling into his handlers pajamas. Instead of saying anything, he just snuggled, and Sam just laughed as they held him close.
"Alright, alright, it's morning hug time then. We'll eat breakfast after snuggles."
So, the morning continued on, Sam ended up with Cosmo on their lap as they ate breakfast together. It was peaceful, but a new form of peaceful, as instead of silence as they ate they now had Gigi humming along as she gently made sure Gi ate and was clean and cozy the entire time. It was a welcome change, even though all of them still wondered one thing.
"How... Did you guys sneak Gigi in anyways?" Sprout questioned as he adjusted his ponytail mid breakfast, making both gachapons look at him. Gi looked nervous, like a little kid about to get a really bad scolding, while Gigi just raised an eyebrow at him as she wiped some syrup off Gi's cheek.
"And why would you like to know?" Gigi questioned, making the berry just shrug. Gi looked even more nervous, while Gigi just looked at her baby, then at Sprout, then at Gi again.
"The damn window, berry bro. I snuck in through their window."
"I tried to stop her but she wouldn't let me!" Gi whined, and Gigi just nodded in agreement.
"'Mama use the door' she pleaded, 'mama the door is so much easier', I didn't listen."
"She wanted my plush dinosaur..." Gi mumbled, looking away as she pulled up the hood of her hoodie, pulling it over her face. Gigi just smiled and nodded at her.
"It looked like Shelly's plushies, I missed her, can't judge me too hard."
"I am judging you intensely right now." Sprout mumbled, getting a sigh from Sam as they shook their head.
"You all are fucking insane..."
"Oh, but you love our insanity, Sammers~"
"I do... I love all of you guys, even if I will never understand how or why you keep showing up. I'm happy you're here... And willing to share a room you guys stole my spare rooms." Sam admitted, getting laughs out of the toons as they all nodded in agreement. They honestly never wanted to not share a room again, they loved their arrangements- even if they all weren't initially supposed to be there in the first place.
Nobody minded that though, they were warm, cozy, happy and safe - and that was what really mattered at the end of the day.
That and the fact that Gigi hadn't stolen anything so far, but they all knew it was inevitable. They were all happy she was trying, none of them knowing just how hard she was struggling with that yet. Nah, that day was peaceful, they'll learn about that problem later on though.
Also got out of writers block I think let's go maybe lol
seeing people awitch up on ride the cyclone right after rtc day is actually pmo. Like yall were GLAZING this show 3 years ago, but now its "soooo cluncky" and "too obvious Jane gets picked". Like does emotional turmoil mean nothing to you people now? Does Constance's monologue no longer send shivers down your spine? Does the new birthday scene not make you cry a little bit? Are Talia, Ballad of Jane Doe, Its Not a Game/Its Just A Ride, and all the other songs we were crying and vibing to no longer hold their weight?
Idk I just feel like when somethings not popular anymore everyone will do a 360 on it. Like the moment somthing loses its popularity half the people who liked it will come out of the woodworks and be like "erm actually I think this sucks now and here's why-"
Like youre allowed to not like the show but it feels like everyone's starting to give it the Penelope Scott treatment :/
