[FAYE BELLE HANNIGAN]

Faye had arrived home before Nik, though that wasn't particularly a surprise. She hadn't had any classes to attend today, just one client at the gym to help build her portfolio - during which a friend had kindly watched Brylee and Alexis for her. Aside from that, she'd entertained the kids pretty well whilst managing to get some of her assignments done, switching between playing mum and playing student. Brylee had spent some time asleep in her arms, and she was almost sad that Alexis was no longer small enough to do the same. She sat up at the table with her colouring away - a fair amount of it inside the lines too.

Once she was back from her client she got the kids settled first, feeding and bathing them, and putting Brylee down to sleep. Alexis had a little longer before it was her turn, and she set her up with a favourite kids TV show. She didn't like the kids staring at the screens too much, but a little bit of time was needed; there were a good amount of programs for learning as much as entertainment, and so far, Alexis was just as happy to open a book as turn on the TV. She had made dinner for when Nik came home - nothing crazy, a sausage casserole, but she'd wanted something hearty and good for him to come back to. She'd thought that maybe it might be a good time for them to talk about their wedding. She hadn't had much time to consider things, having been busy at school and with the kids and work, and she was in no rush to be married but she felt that with them being engaged, they should at least settle on a date and start from there.
