#lila age regression

[fandom-nursery]

Lila agere headcanons

Her little age varies but she’s never more than 7

Once she stops repressing it she regresses quite a lot 

She is a bit embarrassed about her regression and doesn’t like anyone to make a big deal out of it but she likes that it helps her fit in with her new family 

Her motor skills are always very good even when shes regressed to a baby age 

How verbal she is depends on how little she is and on how she was feeling when she regressed. She can either be super sassy and talkative or totally silent no in between 

She will nap but she will complain about it the whole time 

She likes being carried mostly when she’s in her younger headspace. When shes feeling extra little she likes to be swaddled up in a blanket and rocked in someone's arms 

She likes to play peekaboo or climb things. She’s also a huge fan of playing in the dirt and will go looking for frogs and bugs at the drop of a hat 

She likes foods she remembers her parents making for her when she was a child before they died

Very messy eater. She insists on feeding herself no matter how little she's feeling and has a tendency to spill on her clothing. Occasionally she can be convinced to wear a bib  

Her favorite toys are a wind up from that jumps and a lot of different plastic animals 

She has a stuffed animal elephant that diego got her on a whim that she really loves named ellie  

She is a big fan of overalls and does have a few clothing articles that she picked specifically because she thought they would be good to be regressed in 

She does have a few pacis but she has a bad habit of dropping and losing them 

She wouldn’t let herself wear diapers until she learned that Diego sometimes does. After that she was willing to try them and does find them comforting now and then. She will only wear them if Diego is the one watching her however 

Diego was the first to know about her regression and after some prompting she also came out to the rest of his family. 

Diego is the one she trusts most to take care of her. She is slowly warming up to the idea of letting the others take care of her as well 

She has regressed for most of her life, regressing often back to the age she was when her parents were killed

🌮 I got two new Melissa and Doug food sets, so some of the plushies and I had a picnic sorta thing!

🥪 It was really fun!

[ruppcake]

hello, ruppcake! i have a request 4 u!! :)

is there a possibility that you can do some caregiver lila or jaune headcanons? i think they would do super awesome with littles and would love to hear your thoughts on it! thank you so so much!! hope to see some more spooky month agere content on this app (we’re severely lacking here XD)!!

- leo 🪲

(hey thank you for the request! im sorry it took me some time to try to reply. i decided to do both if that’s alright! also sorry they didn’t have any gifs of jaune on here 😅)

Caregiver! Lila and Jaune Headcannons

when they find out about you age regressing, they instantly go into mom mode

either one of them would gladly be your caregiver

they always make sure you’re taken care of and constantly checking in on you just in case you need something or want attention

will try to find time in the day just to spend it with you or if they don’t have work will gladly just spend the entire day with you

would love to baby you constantly “don’t do that baby. let mama help you” 🥺🥰

Lila would be more strict and be a bit more worried about stuff while Jaune would be more relaxed and not as strict (i see Jaune being more chill than Lila)

both would love to play games or dress up with you (would also love to dress you up from time to time as well 😅)

they are very protective of you and very loving as well (i imagine they catch someone trying to make fun of you they would go into mama bear mode and give them a piece of their mind)

they would give you nicknames like: love bug, angel, bean, kiddo, cutie pie, etc.

the names you would call them would be: mama, mommy (sfw obviously), ma, nana (first time meeting them you called them that or just by their first names)

Lila could easily put you down for a nap or get you to take a bath while Jaune might struggle a little bit but eventually gets you to take one

both will give you attention when you ask for it that’s if they are not busy as well but could just drop everything just to spend time with you (you’re their little munchkin after all ☺️)

Jaune could easily pick up on if you’re not alright while with Lila it takes her a minute to realize but both will encourage you to try to talk about what’s going on or at least tell them how they can help

they are always giving you love and affection when they can or when you really need it (which is constantly 😂)

Lila is always prepared for everything. has drinks, snacks, first aid kit, etc. with her at all times when she is with you (she just wants to make sure her baby gets what ever they need)

Jaune is somewhat prepared like she might have something’s but would either forget or not have enough of something so you might have to turn back around to the house then set off again to where y’all were going to go (she can be a little forgetful but she loves you)

both would love you no matter what and would always be there to love/support you in any ways they can ♥️

i hope you like it! again sorry it took me a little while to answer! thank you for the request! ☺️

[marshmellowtea]

related to the au i’ve been brainrotting about all day but i’ve been thinking about agere flip lila lately. i love making her face the affection she has for will by putting her in a caregiver role toward him but also there’s something about her having to face her own vulnerability by having her regress as well, even if i don’t headcanon her as young in headspace as will. which, actually, combing that thought with the previous thought, the idea of big sister figure lila is very important to me and i want it SO BAD 🥺

I am slowly working through your work "Partners in Time", with old Five and Lila. I do not know if you will finish that work but for a second I thought maybe you will let Five and Lila jump back to the days before the 1st apocalypse. Like I said, I am not finished yet with that series, but it got me thinking if Five regressed in age, would Lila regress in age too? Or if Lila would have to be left with the Commission and Five is young again and what would happen if they saw each other again later (season 2)... I am rambling sorry, I do not know if I make sense to be honest XD

Thank you for writing for this ship, much love <3

I am so thrilled you are reading Partners In Time! I promise I will finish the series; I've invested way too much time and energy not to. It is my baby that I've been working on for 2 years now, and it remains a ship near and dear to my heart. After my current story in the series, "He Sleeps with the Fishes: The Hoffa Job," we'll be picking up with "The Kennedy Job." Indeed, this will be where our heroes will be attempting their big jump to the 2019 apocalypse. And you're absolutely right. There is a very good chance that if they don't get the math correct, they'll both be stuck as 13 year-olds! Not to mention, because of time travel, there'll be other obstacles in their way. In this story, alternate timelines will come into play. We'll see that the events of November 22nd, 1963, are not only significant in American history but to the whole of the space-time continuum. This means possible issues with paradoxes or worse--the almost near guarantee of having to deal with Sir Reginald Hargreeves and maybe even the rest of the Umbrella Academy. I don't want to give away too much, but your concerns are extremely valid.

Thank you again for reading my stories! I hope to keep you on the edge of your seat all the way!

The Umbrella Academy S4 (thoughts & opinions)

- HOT TAKE: The issue I had with Five and Lila getting together wasn’t the bizarre age gap or insensitivity of Five sleeping with his brother’s wife, but how they don’t resolve the tension properly before they all cease to exist. Specifically Diego and Five don’t get to hold hands the way Lila and Five did, even though it wasn’t really up to Lila to “forgive” Five, but whatever. I thought that had this affair been treated with an ounce of consideration it would reveal a lot more about both characters shared desperation for affection and emotional stimulation. Five spent decades in complete social isolation to the point where he legitimately fell in love with a mannequin and you want me to believe that, given the similar scenario that most certainly triggered the same “well I guess I’m stuck in this shit now for an indefinite amount of time” area of his brain, he wouldn’t have resorted to falling in love with the fist available person regardless of what it meant outside of the subway? Lila too seemed to get with Diego because while they did click in S2, she had never lived a life that allowed her to experience romance or starting a family like she could with Diego. She pumped out three kids to seemingly force herself to enjoy what she knows could be taken away from her at the throwing of a time traveling briefcase, but her behavior this season is baffling because what do you mean after seven years of searching for a way home she never once brings up missing those three children until the opportunity to return home presents itself? She tries to wipe her hands of the situation, but then the show just kind of ends without meaningful conclusion, so…

- The ending was sloppy. I know you know that, but my issue wasn’t the actual end. The Hargreeves having to sacrifice themselves in a way indicative of the S1 finale makes perfect sense, especially with the painfully shallow Five Diner down in that unexplained subway station where they all indirectly allude to the fact that there’s never a condition where at least one of the family doesn’t end the world. Had the Fives took time to explain that each Hargreeve possesses earth shattering abilities that eventually snowball out of control regardless of the condition, and all resistance is futile, I would accept that the ending makes more sense than just blaming the marigold despite the fact that Victor can/has been able to syphon marigold out of people, and could’ve just taken it all himself but you know, whatever.

- I also deeply resent that a show about familial trauma and bonding despite the shared adversity ultimately concluded on everyone giving up. No. You don’t get to say that they “didn’t just give up” because yes, them saying “oh no, well, there’s ten minutes left of the episode, guess we should cease to exist now” is the definition of not even trying to venture down into the subway as a family and fix the other timelines one at a time, using their newfound familial unity to solve every timeline until they converge into one. I’m not saying that needed to happen at all, or that they should have succeeded even if they tried, but AT LEAST THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TRIED. The writers gave up, the characters gave up, and the metaphor of grief and family issues the show spent so long to cultivate were just abandoned.

- Klaus regressed with no substantial reason or impact other than to provide slapstick humor and comedic relief antics that didn’t amount to any of what he had spent the last few seasons building and working towards. Ben shouldn’t have been brought back after his noble and meaningful sacrifice of S2 only to be made into the most obnoxious version of himself. Allison didn’t even get to say “I heard a rumor” this season nor did she address attempting to sexually assault Luther, and Diego’s relationship with Lila was the absolute worst case scenario for both characters. Viktor was the only one with an arc worth watching this season, which is why I thought him having a solo sacrifice would have been even more gut wrenching but whatever.

- There is an insurmountable amount of plot holes that prove this show just got lazy. There should be a kugelblitz in the finale’s timeline. If Lila/Allison were never born then there could never be Grace/Lila’s children. You don’t get to say “well what about the subway” because that doesn’t protect them from the grandfather paradox, unless outright stated which the writers didn’t even bother to do.

- Why didn’t they just kill Jennifer? Who put her in the squid? If it was Reggie’s wife then why didn’t she just kill her? Why didn’t Reggie kill her when he built the town to “protect” her? Why did she react with pure terror when shown the squid? How did Jean and Gene get their hands on it? Was it a normal giant squid or an alien? Was it her mother? No, because then how did she speak English when she emerged from its stomach? Why did she say “the cleanse” like she knew what it meant when she didn’t? Ben should’ve been able to remember in the OG timeline how he died because absolutely every other spirit does and the show can’t just rewrite its own lore to cater to a last minute subplot that went nowhere. I don’t want to be mean but Jennifer never should have existed as a S4 add in because she did absolutely nothing for the plot other than confusing the audience with the persistent question of why didn’t they just kill her to prevent the cleanse from happening. Reginald said one of them had to die, but in the OG timeline he killed both just to be…cruel? What’s the point of writing that it just had to be one of them if you’re just going to act like it’s a package deal? This entire plot line made me truly believe this season was written by AI, I’m sorry.

[fiveapocalypse]

Do I redo my euphoria AU … I mean Family line is technically something else entirely. I only kept euphoria up because I kinda felt like I had to but now I’m feeling like redoing it like, actually, and writing like, a proper five goes to school AU with a plot and all.

I’ll possibly try. No promises. I might discontinue a few stories though, or put them on hold. Currently working on Family line is a bit draining, trying to form a chapter for Saudade is difficult, and I wanna just, divide my attention between two stories for once that I won’t immediately feel overwhelmed with so… will be reworking euphoria! Family line is kind of a rework but Euphoria is like, an honest rework with attention to plot and all.

Credit for inspiration for this new AU goes to @luwe21 cause I was browsing five Hargreeves tag and that popped up.

I might, actually, rework Saudade into this AU instead of the odd idea I had with it before. Mix two premises together. The general gist is that this is S4, my own little speculation thing, the reset is explained a bit more with the idea that everyone was reset to their earlier selves which is, basically

1; Luther didn’t get almost killed and given an Ape body

2: Allison still has Claire and her acting career but without Patrick, Ray is her husband now

3: Diego is the same as always. Think Season one Diego

4: Klaus doesn’t have his hello or goodbye tattoos. Or his dog tags, because he didn’t go to Vietnam until Five came back from the 60’s

5: Five is a child again. He’s a child mentally, physically, emotionally. He has his memories but the reset basically threw him back into his apocalypse body after the first few months of being stranded there. It would explain why he doesn’t have his powers, just like in the apocalypse. (I know everyone else also doesn’t have their powers but bear with me here) I’ll think about his age regression a bit more :))

6: Ben is sparrow Ben… :)

7: Viktor STILL doesn’t have his powers, because he’s been reset back to BEFORE he had them back by getting off his meds though without the meds this time. This just means he’s gonna have to try his best to reclaim them.

8: Lila doesn’t have her baby (sorry folks), but she’s also still with Diego. There’s not much to change for her tbh. Well.. I wouldn’t say not much … :)

Okay, that’s the gist of S4 reset that happens. This is probably a spoiler for the fic itself BUT, I’m very inclined to change things so :). I will be working on an actual plot for this story, alongside family line. Hope you guys enjoy!

Luther agere headcanons

Has a wide age rage and regresses between ages 0-10 however he is most often toddler or baby age 

His regression was incredibly frequent while on the moon. Since coming back to earth it happens less often however when he does regress he tends to stay regressed for a very long time  

His regression is involuntary and he isn’t very good at stopping himself from slipping or at pulling himself out of headspace 

He first started regressing while he was on the moon. He didn’t know what was happening or what to do and he had no one he could turn to for help. Once back on earth he was able to figure out what was going on but that time when he didn’t know what was happening was really scary for him 

He is learning to accept his regression much more as he begins to heal from some of the trauma inflicted by his childhood and his time on the moon 

Little Luther is even worse than big Luther at keeping his feelings a a secret and there is almost never any doubt from others about what he’s feeling 

In younger headspaces he sometimes goes completely nonverbal and even when he’s older he tends to not be very talkative. A lot of this stems from the fact that for the first 4 years of him regressing he was alone and didn’t have anyone else to talk to so he’s still adjusting to having people around him 

He is surprisingly shy however this is mostly due to the isolation from the moon and with time he begins to become more outgoing. He is very eager to please which tends to manifest in obedience and anxiety 

When he’s little his memories tend to get kinda fuzzy 

It’s really 50/50 on weather or not he will nap when he’s regressed  

Because of his size it’s pretty difficult to pick him up but luckily his siblings have found some solutions. Ben can use his tentacles to help carry him and Klaus once used several ghosts to help lift Luther into the air just to pretend he was stronger than Diego who wasn’t able to pick Luther up by himself. 

He loves to play with his action figures when small and is constantly begging Diego to join in his games. When he’s older he also likes to play catch and when he’s younger he loved to be swaddled up and read to or shown movies/cartoons 

Very messy eater. Even at older ages he tends to get food all over his face, hands, clothes, the table, and the floor

He has been working hard to heal his inner child and it turns out part of that has ended up being buying whichever toys catch his eye when he goes out to the store. Being able to get himself the things he always wanted but could never ask for or receive from  Reginald has been very good for him. Because of this he has slowly amassed a collection of stuffed animals, legos, remote control cars, playdough, and more. 

His favorite toy is a stuffed bear that is dressed in a little astronaut suit  

When regressed he dresses in the biggest clothes he can possibly get his hands on. Due to his size most clothing fits him too tightly and when he's regressed that becomes uncomfortable. Additionally the bigger clothing helps him feel small 

He owns a paci but prefers to suck his thumb even though he knows that’s not very good for him 

When he is in a younger headspace he does need diapers and even in older headspaces he will sometimes still wear them because he finds them comforting 

The rest of the academy either learns about his regression by accident or is told about it. Since so many of them regress as well they are all very accepting. The sparrow academy and lila find out officially a bit later however most of them already had their own suspicions. 

While going through some of his dads things Luther found out that Reginald had know he was regressing while on the moon the entire time but had done nothing to help or even inform him in any way 

His siblings, and later Sloane usually take care of him while he’s small. Diego, Victor, and Sloane take care of him the most often

[mangoshorthand]

I want happiness for Five, and I mean no disrespect towards your or thebearmage's opinion! I just wanna share mine, but somehow I can't see Five with anyone when it comes to having a romantic relationship. Even when I think being "trapped" in his teenage body is some sort of a second chance since he lived for so many years alone in the apocalypse, but his mental age remains and gets older, and him being with someone the same physical and/or mental age or older seems still weird to me.

You're fully right that getting with Dolore's in some sort of way would be a regression in Five's emotional development. He's all right to still treasure her though since she played an important part in his life.

What I am curious about the first episode that's called "The Unbearable Tragedy of Getting What you Want" is if it's only about Allison, and probably Reggie, because we saw they got what they wanted after the reset, or if it affects the other siblings too. So I was thinking about human or humanoid Dolores as well, but it still wouldn't make much sense since Allison and Reggie had a deal.

What I mostly want for Five is his siblings finally cherishing him instead of blaming him all the time, they would be already dead without him. I am so sick of it. I like Luther and I can understand he's angry because Sloane disappeared, but I really wanted to punch him when he scolded Five in the last scene. He doesn't deserve this.

As the family will mostly live their own lives, I really want Five to also find some connections to new people that care for him and love him as well. Love doesn't always have to be romantic. With this said I just hope they do the finale season justice, because adding too much in only 6 episodes would be messy since there are already a lot of answers that we must get for the previous seasons.

I didn't intend to suggest that Five necessarily needs romantic love. I would be extremely surprised if season 4 went down that route with him (except perhaps as a joke: I think him winking at/checking out a 50+ librarian at the university could be a funny side gag but that's as far as I'd go with it were I writing S4). I didn't have romance in mind when I wrote the post, I more just wanted him to find someone he can confide in who likes him for him. Outside of meeting new people, I could see Lila fulfilling this role for him extremely well, (although obviously she has Diego-shaped biases). Having said that, I can see him struggling to understand emotional intimacy that isn't romance, if only because he probably doesn't have a framework for it. It would be another good site of character development for him: learning to trust someone who just wants to be friends and has no ulterior motives.

what's this?? marshy actually finished a fic for the first time in ages??? no fuckin way—

anyway hi i forget how i usually intro these tumblr fics of mine gjdskfds but going by my writing tag it looks like i usually just wing it so uhh here! have some domestic age regression fluff between caregivers!tanya and mike and little!lila (with a liiiight sprinkling of angst and hurt/comfort in the middle there because i just couldn't help myself, lmao). small warning for a reference to will and lila's mothers and what that entails, ie emotional abuse, though it's not super explicit. if there's anything else i need to warn for, lmk!

super special thanks to @whenthedeeppurplefalls for betaing this fic, literally idk if it would've gotten done without you so i super appreciate you looking at it hglkdsjf 💞 tysm pal seriously :') /gen

as per usual with these fics, eventually this'll get posted to ao3 as well and i'll reblog this with a link when that's ready, but for now, without further ado, here it is please enjoy <3

"Babe, why is William in timeout?"

Tanya huffs out a laugh as she makes her way to Mike over at the door, greeting him with a kiss to his mouth and taking the grocery bags out of his hands. "That's Lila, honey," she says, moving aside so he can step inside the apartment and shut the door behind him.

"Ah. That makes more sense," he says, turning his gaze to the girl currently pouting in the corner of the kitchen. "Hi, sweetheart. What have you done this time?"

Lila turns to him, her arms crossed over her chest and her cheeks puffed out adorably. One leg is crossed over the other, giving her the air of an offended little lady, and Mike has to bite back a laugh. Her and William are both so cute—equally so, of course, given the fact they share a body, but they both have their own unique little quirks in the way they carry themselves that are absolutely precious in their own little ways.

"You can tell him if you want to, honey," Tanya says, putting away the groceries Mike had brought home. "I won't add time to your timeout."

Lila huffs, pout increasing somehow. "Mama's being unfair," she says, shooting a withering glare in Tanya's direction. "It was an accident."

"Ohohoho, no it was not," Tanya says, shaking her head with a click of her tongue. "You wanna actually tell him what you did?"

Lila glares at her for another moment, before turning back to the wall. Mike actually laughs at that, taking a few steps further to stroke her hair lightly.

"Well, now I'm curious," he says. "What'd you do to earn the timeout chair?"

Lila huffs, hunching in on herself a little. "You're on her side," she accuses, her cheeks reddening.

"Well, honey, I can't be on your side if I don't know what you did," he says, shaking his head slightly.

Lila stays silent, her eyes fixed on the ground. She almost looks embarrassed, an expression that's very rare for her. Mike ruffles her hair, before moving his hand to squeeze her shoulder lightly.

"I guess she doesn't want to tell me," Mike says, shaking his head. "What'd she do, Mama Bird?"

Tanya turns to him, her eyes alight with amusement and irritation. "Well, she almost burnt the fucking house down," she says, shooting a half-smile in Lila's direction.

Mike's eyebrows raise. "Oh? How the fuck did she do that?" he asks, absentmindedly rubbing circles against Lila's shoulder with his fingertips.

"Put a fork in the microwave," Tanya says, shaking her head. "She's very lucky I caught it before it started sparking."

"It was—it was an accident!" Lila protests suddenly. She looks up at Mike with pleading eyes, leaning against him all cutely in that way she does when she wants something. "This isn't fair!"

Mike hums, turning his eyes toward Tanya. "If she just left her fork in her food, I don't think it's fair to—”

Tanya shoots him a pointed look. "It was just a fork in there," she says, turning her eyes to Lila and adding, "and I'd just told her about how putting metal in the microwave is dangerous."

"Oh. Hmm." Mike looks back down at Lila, giving her shoulder a light pat. "Yeah, I don't think I can defend you, sweetheart."

"Not fair," Lila mumbles, kicking at the air helplessly. "It was—I just wanted to see what happened."

"I told you what happens," Tanya says, pulling out a pot from the drawer. "There was no reason to try it out, my sweet girl.”

“What if I didn’t believe you?” Lila protests, looking up at Mike pleadingly again, as though he’ll somehow be able to help her.

“Well, then we have a bigger problem then,” Tanya says, shaking her head. She turns around then, holding the pot out in front of her and turning her attention toward Mike. “How do we feel about spaghetti for dinner?”

“I brought the meatballs,” he says, shrugging lightly and moving his hand to rub Lila’s back soothingly. “I say go for it.”

“Dada—” Lila starts pitifully, presumably to plead for help or mercy.

Before she can finish, or Mike can say anything, however, Tanya interrupts. “Ah ah ah. No talking rule is back in effect.” She looks over at her, her eyes softening sympathetically. “Only a minute left, little one.”

Lila whines, her eyes dropping to her feet. Mike smiles at her, also sympathetically, and he presses a kiss to the top of her head.

“Sounds like you’ll be free soon,” he says, giving her a light pat. “Hang in there, sweetheart.”

Lila huffs, kicking her feet frantically. Mike steps away from her, then, making his way over to Tanya’s side, watching her as she puts a pot of water on.

“Once you get that on, can we talk for a minute in the other room? Real quick before little one gets free?” he asks lowly. Then, not wanting to worry her, he adds, “Nothing bad, just…caregiver stuff.”

Tanya nods, a slight look of relief falling across her face, before flicking the stove on and taking a step back. “Lila, we’ll be back soon, okay?” she calls in her direction. “We’re just gonna be in the other room for a minute, we’re not leaving, sweet pea.”

Lila turns to look at them, her eyes round and brow furrowed. She opens her mouth as if to speak, but then realizing she can’t, she huffs, turning back to the wall.

Mike snorts softly at the sight, shaking his head slightly and leading Tanya out to the living room. He looks through the doorway, and once he’s certain Lila’s not trying to snoop, he turns back to Tanya with a curious expression.

“How long you put her in for?”

Tanya shrugs. “Just ten minutes,” she says, running her fingers loosely through her hair. “She got it bumped up to thirteen, though, as she usually does.”

Mike hums, nodding thoughtfully. “Kind of a short time for almost burning the house down,” he remarks with mild amusement.

Tanya laughs quietly, shrugging a little. “Yeah, maybe…I don’t know,” she says, letting out a soft sigh. “I think she was just acting out for attention rather than trying to get on my nerves like she usually does. I mean, I was kind of distracted today…I feel bad about it, so I didn’t want to punish her too harshly.”

“Hmm, alright…it does sound like she didn’t add as much time as she usually does, huh?”

Tanya snorts. “Yeah, I think she’s feeling neglected, poor girl.”

Mike coos sympathetically, shaking his head slightly in the direction of the kitchen. “Yeah…poor girl.” He tilts his head then, regarding Tanya with a soft gaze. “What about you? You said you were distracted, are you alright?”

“Oh, yeah, I’m just…” Tanya frowns, waving her hand lightly. “Looking for a job has been…stressful. But it’s not anything more than that.”

Mike nods and reaches out, wrapping his arm around her and giving her a comforting squeeze. “Alright, I get that,” he says gently, rubbing her arm soothingly. “Hey, you’re gonna be okay. It’ll happen eventually.”

“Yeah…I just…I feel bad that you and Will are the ones supporting us, especially with the baby expenses, and—”

Suddenly, Tanya’s phone goes off, the sound ringing out through the apartment. She blinks in surprise, and she fishes her phone out of her pocket, turning it off quickly.

“Oh. Lila’s free,” she says, a small smile playing at the corners of her lips.

Mike smiles as well, despite his lingering concern. “You think she heard it?”

In answer to his question, they’re suddenly greeted with a shout, and the sound of little feet rushing in their direction. They turn to see Lila pausing just in the doorway, her eyes wide and round.

“Mama? Can I…” she starts, rocking back and forth on her heels.

Tanya chuckles softly, giving Mike a squeeze before pulling away from him to go to her. “Yes, baby, you’re out of timeout,” she says affectionately, reaching up to cradle her face. “Is the water boiling, honey?”

“Ummm…” Lila tilts her head, or at least, as best she can while still pressing her face into Tanya’s palms, anyway. “Yeah, I think so.”

“Okay. I’m gonna go continue making dinner,” Tanya says, squishing her cheeks gently and earning a squawk of indignation in return. She chuckles, kissing her forehead gently and asking, “You wanna hang out with Mike while I do that?”

Lila looks at Mike over her shoulder, her brow furrowed and lips drooping. “Um…okay,” she says, her voice sounding hollow.

Tanya frowns, regarding her with concern. “What’s wrong, sweetie?”

“I mean…Mike usually makes dinner,” she says, huffing lightly. “And ‘m not allowed in the kitchen when you guys cook.”

“Ohhh…” Tanya says, shooting a frown in Mike’s direction. “You wanna be with me?”

Lila shrugs, and then, hesitantly, she nods. She’s very pointedly avoiding looking at both of them—the embarrassed look is back on her face, too. “Somethin’ like that,” she mumbles.

“I can take over dinner if she wants to be with her mama,” Mike says, shrugging a little.

Lila’s face turns even redder, a pout coming across her face. “You’re making it sound so—I just have somethin’ I need to say to her, okay?”

"Awww, baby, it's okay if you wanna be with me sometimes," Tanya coos, thumbs rubbing lightly at her cheeks. "There's nothing wrong with needing that."

Lila huffs, squirming out of her palms and crossing her arms over her chest. "It's not like—" she starts, before her eyes dart from the floor to Tanya's face. She flushes harder, somehow, her whole face pink, and suddenly races away from Tanya to throw herself onto the couch, curling into herself against one of the arms, making herself small in that way William usually does.

Tanya's eyebrows raise at the sight, and she turns to Mike, shooting him a look that's equal parts amused and concerned. He shoots her a matching look in return, pointing toward the kitchen.

"I'll go take care of the boiling water now," he says, voice wavering somewhere between light and uncertain.

"Sounds good to me," Tanya says, lips twitching slightly. They settle on a smile as she passes Mike on her way to the couch, however, and she keeps her expression soft as she settles down on the cushions next to the now pouting little girl she calls her own, carefully reaching out to stroke her arm. "Hey, sweetie. You doing okay?"

Lila mumbles something unintelligible into the arm of the couch, her face smushed up against the fabric. Once again, Tanya can't help but think of it as a very William move—she can't help but wonder how many traits they have in common that she's just never seen because Lila tends to be less openly vulnerable around them.

"I didn't catch that, little girl. Can you repeat yourself?"

Lila huffs once again, sounding entirely put upon. She looks up at Tanya, her face still smudged with a pink blush, her eyes oddly sad, and murmurs, "I'm sorry I'm such a bad girl, Mama."

The concern already bubbling up in Tanya's stomach suddenly spills over in the form of a coo falling from her lips, a frown falling over her face. "Oh, Lila, honey...come here..."

When it comes to William and Lila, bad isn't nearly as strong a word as naughty—naughty, for both of them, is a sign they're in a very, very bad headspace, naughty means that something has set them off in a very real way, naughty means that they're thinking about their respective mothers again, and that's never a good thing—but it still isn't good to hear, either. Especially not from Lila, who most of the time, refuses to acknowledge that the thing she's done wrong is, in fact, wrong.

Tanya's worries are only further confirmed when Lila crawls all the way into her lap, wrapping her arms around her neck and clinging to her tightly, like she's terrified of being let go of. Sure, Lila's become a lot more comfortable with being touched or physically coddled as of late, even going so far as to enjoy it (which she had admitted to them one afternoon in a very roundabout way), but she's still not much of a cuddler, and she definitely doesn't cling like this unless she's in a mood. Not necessarily in a bad mood, sure, but, well...right now...

"You're not a bad girl, honey," Tanya murmurs, wrapping her arms around her tightly and kissing her on the top of her head. "I mean, sure, you do bad things sometimes, but we all do. I mean, I've fu—messed up things more often than I can count, especially with William and Dada. That doesn't make me a bad person, does it?"

Even as she says it, Tanya has to choke back the uncertainty rising in her throat. She's gotten better about not thinking of herself as the certified worst person in the whole entire fucking world, but god, it's hard not to fall back to hold habits sometimes.

Apparently, Lila knows that too. "But you still feel like a bad person sometimes," she mumbles into her collarbone, clinging a little tighter. "S’okay. I do too s’metimes. 'm sorry. Sorry I do bad things."

Tanya swallows thickly, unsure of what to make of all this. "It's okay, sweetheart. I forgive you," she murmurs. "What brought this on, little one...?"

Lila's quiet for a moment, playing with the fabric of her shirt. "You seemed mad at me today."

"Mad at you...?"

"Mhmm." Lila sniffles, and Tanya's heart breaks as she realizes she's holding back tears. "You didn'...didn' really look at me, or wanna play with me, an'—an' then when you were makin' your tea you told me 'bout the spoon, an'—an' I dunno, I was stupid, an' I wan'ed you t' look at me, 'nd you got mad at me—"

"Oh, honey, I only got upset cuz you were doing something dangerous, I wasn't upset with you before that, promise," Tanya soothes, running her hand up and down her spine lightly. "I...I was a bit distracted today, and I wasn't paying as much attention to you as I should have, and I'm sorry. Did it feel like I was ignoring you? Is that why you thought I was mad?"

Lila whines a little, nodding against her shoulder. Tanya hums comfortingly, pressing a kiss to her temple.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't mad, and I wasn't ignoring you. I was just spacey today. It had nothing to do with you, I promise I would never ignore you on purpose, okay?"

"...mmkay," Lila mumbles, and to Tanya's relief, she sounds less upset than she did before. She does, however, sound a bit embarrassed.

"My little girl. It's okay. You can want attention from me, there's nothing wrong with that."

Lila makes a grumpy noise in response (and oh, Tanya can't even pretend not to chuckle at that, it's just too adorable), lifting her face from Tanya's shoulder. Her flush has gone down a bit, but she is still visibly pink, which is just unbearably precious.

"Hi, sweetie," Tanya says, reaching up to stroke her hair lightly. "How're you feelin'?"

"...better," Lila mumbles, her eyes darting downward, one of her hands reaching up to play with the necklace Tanya's wearing. "I'm glad—glad you weren't mad at me. At least 'til I tried to burn the place down."

"Yeahhh, never do that again, little love," Tanya says with a laugh, still carding her hands absently through her hair. "I wasn't kidding about it burning down the place."

A tiny smile appears on Lila's face at that. "But I still wanna see that!"

"Oh, do not even think about it, little missy," Tanya scolds, but her tone is still more light than actually angry. "We look up videos of microwaves catching fire on Youtube if you want, but don't you dare even think about trying it at home or you'll be getting more than a ten minute time out."

"How much more?" Lila asks, her voice lightly curious. "An hour?"

"Lila," Tanya says, fond and exasperated.

"...two hours?" Lila prods, finally lifting her eyes. As soon as she meets Tanya's dryly amused gaze, she bursts into giggles, bonking their foreheads together. "Three hours!"

"It'll be more like forever, Lila," Tanya says with a huff of a laugh, rolling her eyes fondly. "I don't think we can afford a place other than this. Or to replace all our stuff."

"Mm...William would be mad if I destroyed his toys 'nyway," Lila agrees, rolling off of Tanya's lap to settle at her side instead, still cuddled up close with her head resting against her shoulder and one of Tanya's arms still wrapped around her. "Fine, I won't burn the house down."

"Thank you baby," Tanya says with a chuckle, rubbing her arm lightly. "That's what every Mama wants to hear from her little girl."

Lila giggles at that, nuzzling further into her shoulder. Then, she falls quiet for a long moment, aside from humming contentedly as Tanya strokes her hair. Tanya almost thinks she's gone nonverbal, before Lila suddenly speaks up again, her voice going soft.

"What were you distracted by, Mama?"

"Oh," Tanya says, swallowing back a wave of anxiety suddenly rising up in her. "It's just...adult stuff, honey. I don't want you to worry about it while you're small, okay?"

Lila looks up at her with a scrutinizing stare, as though Tanya's a puzzle she's trying to figure out. "Mmkay...if you say so..."

Tanya smiles at her comfortingly, rubbing her arm lightly. "If you're still worried about it later, we can talk about it when you're big, if you want. But right now you're just a baby, so don't worry about it, okay?"

"I'm not a baby. I'm not William," Lila says, a very adorable pout coming over her face. "But...okay...if you're sure..."

Tanya's smile widens a little, and she chuckles softly. "Are you worried about your mama, Lila?"

Lila flushes, her nose scrunching up a little and her cheeks once again turning pink. "I just don't want you to ignore me again," she mumbles, turning her face away so Tanya can't see her.

"Aww, honey..." Tanya reaches over with her other arm, wrapping it around Lila and giving her a tight squeeze. She presses a kiss to the back of her head, smiling a little at the lightly pleased huff she receives for it. "I can't promise I won't get spacey again, but I promise I'm gonna try to do better, okay? And sweetheart, if it does start to feel like I'm ignoring you again, it's okay to ask me for attention. In fact, please please please tell me if you feel ignored, and I'll make sure to give you the attention you need. I love you to death and I don't want you to feel unloved. Okay?"

"Mmph...okay. Okay, Mama, I will," Lila mumbles, squirming a little in Tanya's embrace. "Thank you. 'n...'nIloveyoutoo. Now get off me."

Tanya chuckles, pressing one last kiss to her curls before drawing back, finally freeing Lila from her lovingly crushing embrace. Lila straightens up as well, lingering close but no longer trying to squish up against her side like she was before, and that combined with the fact she doesn't seem actually seem very irritated about being snuggled makes Tanya figure that she probably was just starting to get a little overstimulated by all the touch. Probably best to give her a bit of a cool down on it—she'll have to let Mike know when they go in for dinner.

"Hey, girls, spaghetti's ready!"

In speaking of the man himself. Tanya smiles, turning to Lila and gesturing back toward the kitchen. "You ready to eat, baby?"

Lila turns in that direction, staring at the doorway with a scrutinizing expression. "Yeah," she says, surprisingly casually for what an intense look she was giving the kitchen, and hops up to her feet. She lingers, however, watching as Tanya gets to her feet, tilting her head a little once she's standing. "Um. Mama?"

Tanya looks at her, another wave of concern washing over her. "Yeah honey?"

Lila looks at her for a moment, rocking back and forth on her heels. "...after dinner, can we watch microwaves explode on Youtube?"

Well, that's not what Tanya had been expecting. She can't help but laugh a little, shaking her head in amusement. "Yeah, honey, of course we can. Just me and you, or do you want Dada there too?"

Lila shrugs noncommittally, her eyes already lighting up in excitement with the yes she's been given. "He can watch too. I don' care, 'long as you're there." She then grins broadly, before turning on her heels and sprinting toward the kitchen, where Tanya can hear her calling, "Dada! Guess what me and Mama are gonna watch!"

Tanya can't stop the fond smile that spreads across her lips at that. She follows after Lila, readying herself to explain to Mike why they're about to spend their evening on Youtube watching cutlery spark and set fire to appliances, and knowing damn well she wouldn't want it any other way.
