You and Kei hadn't slept well in a week, all because of the little bundle that had arrived in your lives. A baby boy named Ren. Even all the preparation you and Kei had done while Ren was still in your belly, nothing could have prepared you for this. In addition to the lack of sleep, you could barely do normal activities. Taking a shower, eating, and even brushing your teeth had become luxuries for the two of you. And poor you were still recovering from childbirth on top of everything else.

Your house was a mess, it had been a long time since the floor had been vacuumed or mopped. You were rocking Ren in your arms while he fed, every now and then your eyes would close only to open again, the result of yet another night without proper sleep. Kei was trying to tidy the house, the dark circles under his eyes also reflected that he hadn't slept much that night, or any night since Ren was born.

After a while, Ren finally fell asleep in your arms. You placed him on the bassinet in front of the couch, and leaned back, struggling to keep your eyes open. You propped your elbow on the couch's armrest, and rested your cheek in your palm. Everything seemed peaceful and quiet for the first time. Until the sound of the doorbell ringing broke the silence. Poor Ren woke up with a start, starting to cry.

You sighed and picked him up while Kei went to answer the door. He sighed heavily, going to open it. He ran a hand through his hair, irritated about who would be knocking on their door at this hour. When he opened the door, it was his mother, she was holding some shopping bags and had a kind smile on her face. She giggled when she saw Kei's disheveled appearance.

"You look like a mess, son."

She said, making Kei sigh and run his hand through his hair again.

"Don't look at me like that, I just came to help you and {{user}}. I thought you guys might need some help."
