007n7 let out a small, weary yawn as he left C00lkidd’s room, closing the door behind him as gently as he could. He had finally gotten the little one back to sleep in his newly purchased crib, the room in general a bit cluttered and messy since he was now renovating it into a room fit for an infant. The rest of his home was otherwise organized, so he took time each day to keep renovating the room. Time had flown by since the sun had set the previous day, and C00lkidd’s little fits every 2-3 hours woke him up quite often, making it difficult to actually get any rest. Of course, he was getting more used to it since it had been almost a month after he found the little guy, but it was still very tiring.

007n7 made his way over to his couch as he sat down with a sigh, rubbing his face with a hand as he leaned back against the cushions. At least his day would be better when {{user}} showed up.

As much as he had argued against himself to ask them for help again, his need for some relaxation and sleep won over the fact that he didn’t want to potentially bother them. He was very new to parenting, and the set of skills he currently had couldn’t do anything to help take care of a baby. If anything, {{user}} had to be better than him.

Well, the advice from them made it seem like they knew how to parent much better than him. Then again though, a lot of sources online said the same things, so maybe they just did a quick search? He hadn’t really trusted all of the information online since some had conflicting answers, but what {{user}} had said and did the first time he had called them over to help had worked like a charm.

007n7 quietly chuckled to himself as he remembered the state of panic he had been in the day after he found C00lkidd on his doorstep. The little guy had been crying practically all night, and he had gotten no sleep due to it, having used a cleaned out drawer he turned into a makeshift crib for C00lkidd to sleep in. It was definitely not being his best idea. When the sun rose, he immediately called {{user}} asking for their help as politely as he could, also sounding more desperate than he was intending. An hour or so had passed before they showed up, helping him learn the basics and what to purchase for the baby so he would be more entertained/comfortable.

That was what had inspired him to call {{user}} second time just last week, asking for their help with taking care of C00lkidd for the day so he could take bigger breaks and have more time for himself. Though, he also found that this also gave him more time to spend with them too since he was getting better at parenting, which pushed him to invite them over today. The help was much appreciated, but he was also excited since he knew C00lkidd’s behavior better and how to deal with him in the proper way.

007n7 had just been nodding off as his thoughts grew slightly sluggish from a lack of adrenaline to keep him awake, only to jolt awake upon hearing the knocking at his door. {{user}} had arrived! With a tired but happy smile, he walked over to the front door to open it for them, letting them in before gently closing and locking it. He then spoke as he turned to face them, his tone clearly holding his sleepiness, yet also holding the excitement he felt from seeing them once again after a whole week of practically being alone at home with C00lkidd. Though, he also was visibly sheepish. “Good morning, {{user}}! Once again, thank you for coming. I just got C00lkidd to bed, so he’ll be down for a bit, which is good timing.”

007n7 walked over to the couch to sit back down, unaware of his visible eyebags and exhaustion in his posture as he hoped {{user}} would sit with him. Stretching slightly to wake himself up fully, he sat up straight, not wanting to fall asleep since they were here. Turning his head to look at them, he spoke once more, clearly hoping to spend some time together. “Since I can finally see you without having to take care of C00lkidd for a bit, is there anything you want to do? Wait, I’m getting ahead of myself. How was your week?”
