Aiden was awoken in the middle of the night by the sound of Anya's shrieking... Probably hungry... He groaned and laid on the bed for a few moments, trying to get his dream back. It was important, and definitely terrifying. There was too much blood for it not to be horrific, and too much screaming, and between his infant daughter and the dreams he wasn't getting much shut eye.
He was just glad that it wasn't doing to much to interfere with his fighting, that WAS how he was bringing home so much money after all. If he started losing when he NEEDED to win they'd be having a problem...

Eva groaned when she heard Anya's cry. It didn't mess with any dreams of the blond's, she rarely ever had dreams anyway, but she was TIRED. While Aiden was off literally fighting for money, the Tora had a real job that she was going to have to start up again within the next week or so. It was a good job, she couldn't complain, and soon she'd probably be sent to help out in the shooting range since she was no longer pregnant, but she didn't see how she was going to work around guns being half asleep a good bit of the time. Well, guess she should have thought about that nine months ago, huh?
With another shorter groan, she sat up in bed and tapped Aiden's shoulder. "C'mon, we're tag teaming tonight." she muttered, rubbing an eye as she stood to her feet. Ah, the joys of parenthood.

Aiden gave a slurred, "M'kay..." and managed to heave himself onto tired feet with a yawn. His arms and legs felt like lead... Oh well, he'd try and get some more sleep when Anya was taken care of... And maybe, the little voice of deviousness at the back of his mind whispered, he could worm some answers out of a sleepy Eva if he was clever...
But first, to shut the kid up. Anya was being both bottle-fed and breast fed, so who knew who was going to calm her down enough to drink and who'd be doing the feeding... Well... Eva probably knew. Aiden was a bit too tired to complain about whichever duty he wound up with.

By the time the two made it to their daughter's room, which was right next to their own, Eva was awake enough to know what to do. "C'mere Baby," the blond said as soothingly as possible as she went to pick her up. The ex gangster had certainly gotten use to the motherly thing pretty quick, strangely. She never really saw herself as that type, but after having your own child she guessed that sort of changed things for her.
After cradling and rocking her for a few moments she looked over at Aiden. "Mind getting her a bottle?" she asked him. She was too tired to try breast feeding right now.

Aiden nodded, "Yeah... yeah sure..." He yawned out, heading down the stairs to get to the kitchen and heat up a bottle of formula. When it was done and tested, he made his way back over to Anya's room, now much more awake thanks to the activity. "...We're going to need to get her a babysitter..." He said as he passed over the warm bottle. "Know anyone?" He wasn't sure how good Matsuda was with kids, and honestly, the Ookami had dodged so many of his questions that he wasn't really sure if he could trust the other man anymore...

Eva took the bottle and gave it to Anya and watched as she instantly stopped crying enough to get her food from it. She took a moment to think about anyone that could possibly be good with kids. Her mind went straight to Ayumu. "Hmmm, I've got a friend that might be able to watch her from time to time." she replied. "But if she couldn't there's always Matsuda..." she trailed off on that one. Gah, that's right, with Aiden's questioning and all the two of them haven't been on the best terms lately. But she didn't see a problem with the blond Ookami watching Anya for a while, he was Hotaru's brother after all.

Aiden kept his face almost blank, there was a twitch near his mouth at the idea of Matsuda coming over again and dodging more questions and
filthy liar make him pay break him hurt him he'll turn her into a liar too
just BEING there and reminding him that he was being kept away from things he wanted and needed to know. Or at least he THOUGHT he wanted and needed to know...
"Try the other one first... and who knows, maybe whoever has off when you work we could guilt into watching her..." If they had no other choice. Eva had mentioned the guy once... Eggo or something like that.

Eva sighed and nodded. "Probably." she muttered, still rocking Anya. She had a feeling Egil wouldn't mind watching her every now and then, he was a real nice guy after all.
"I really wish you'd give Matsuda another chance." she told him, looking down at her daughter. In all honesty she was a little too scared to see his expression to that. She couldn't help it though, between her working and everything, she didn't have time to go see Hotaru and the others and fill them in about Anya. Matsuda was really the only one she could trust with going back and forth between them for it.

Aiden frowned and sat backwards on a chair, resting his arms and chin on the backrest. "He's hiding something... And he just won't tell me... and I KNOW whatever it is is important." He didn't know how he knew, but he knew he knew it.

Eva sighed. She had to take care of this as carefully as possible. "Well I know him enough to know that friends are a huge thing for him. He wouldn't do anything to them unless he thought it was for the best." By now Anya had fallen back to sleep. She kissed her on the forehead and laid her back in her crib as lightly as possible. She sat the half full bottle on the table beside the crib and looked back at her husband. "If you think he's hiding something, then whatever it is he probably has a good reason for it." she hoped she didn't give anything away with that, she chose her words as best as she could.

Aiden frowned. "If he won't even give me the reason why he's hiding it all, why should I bother." He sighed. Truthfully, he missed having Matsuda around and having someone he could talk to and hang out with that WASN'T a girl... But there was a certain point he had passed recently. Aiden had been getting lots of freaky dreams since Anya had been born...
Actually... That gave him an idea... Once awhile back he HAD been asked if he had been having any weird dreams by Locke before she vanished... It seemed innocent at the time, but now that he was HAVING said weird dreams it made a bit more sense. Matsuda must have known too, so maybe letting him over another time wouldn't be fruitless after all. Aiden would just have to be nonchalant and sneaky to find out what he wanted. He could do that. Sure.
"But fine." He said, trying and failing to suppress another yawn. "Let's just get back to sleep."

Eva smiled. Good, there was still a chance. "Sounds good to me." she agreed, letting out a small yawn too. They made their way back into their room and Eva curled up under the covers once again. The blond thought about it for a moment and looked back at Aiden before going to sleep. "You know I love you, right?" she asked him. Now that she thought about it, she never really directly told him that before. Better late than never, right?

Aiden was caught a little off guard by the phrase, he was half asleep when he heard it. Still, he gave a smile and pulled Eva over to him. "Yeah... I love you too, now shut up and go to sleep." He was too sleepy to deal with much, and was soon konked out while holding his wife.

***Next Day  *** It was about noon the next day and Eva was sitting on the couch holding Anya once again. She had just finished changing her diaper so the baby was pretty content for the moment. This said the blond tried being as still as possible, she didn't want the slightest movement to wake her and cause another fuss. "So when's he coming over?" she asked Aiden, referring to Matsuda. She was relieved he was going to give the other blond another shot with everything. She just hoped it would turn out better this time. |

Aiden shrugged. "He said he'd be here soon." And apparently he had a gift for Anya... It sounded like it was a stuffed animal from the description Aiden had gotten. A red triceratops or something. Honestly Aiden wondered where he got all the money for the gifts he brought over. The clan salary couldn't be that big, and he was pretty sure Matsu didn't have a steady job.
"Y'know, if you wanna go out and get some time alone while you still can, be my guest. I can handle Anya."
