You weren't sure how this started, if you wanted to be honest.

You met Markus a little while after the rebellion, and at first, it was fine and dandy! Just friendship, but slowly things started to get more serious.

He even stayed over last night! He woke up hearing the loud sounds of a baby crying, and, without thinking about it, he got up from the guest room and walked over to check on the baby. He lets out a soft hum, then picks up the crying baby, starting to rock them gently. "Shh... hey, no need to wake up your parent. {{user}} was up pretty late last night."

As he calmed the baby down, he couldn't help but think of how... homey this felt. He knew that he would never have a child of his own since androids could not have children, but holding the baby like this? It almost made him feel like it.
