She was at her work station and she felt good about the work that she was doing lately and she was glad that it was almost time for a small break as well so she could walk down to the daycare and check on their daughter. "David, how is your digging project going?" she asked as she turned to him. David Lightfeather

David, Lucas and Artemis still shared the office they worked from and David was looking over the digital photos they’d taken as each stage of digging. A mug of tea was beside the laptop as usual. He heard his girlfriend and partner and together they went to check on their daughter. Having daycare so close by helped a lot as they were never too far away from their daughter. “So far the project is going well. We’ve discovered other layers under the first level of dinosaur bones and the university is helping us to understand what’s been uncovered. It’ll still take a bit of time to finish” he replied. The three of them felt so complete as a family but now Peyton’s mother was here it would lead to things they’d have to deal with. Peyton Coldstone

"That sounds good honestly. It seems that you all are taking your time and that is a big project David," she said though she was sure that he knew that too. "I think it will give even more to the research facility than we have and keep all of us busy, him with his projects and her with hers which meant her staying away from that woman who so self proclaimed to be her mother. "These are good things I simply mean." David Lightfeather

David did notice more about his daughter every day. It was clear daycare was helping her as well as she was handling wooden bricks with ease and playing with Sparky. Her sleep cycle was better too but there was still nights she got them up. “Daycare really does seem to help Ella. She seems so good round people and have you noticed how well she gets on with Sparky?” he posed. Their projects did keep them busy but there was plenty of time for fun. You needed something good after the crisis they’d just been through. The broken glass and other physical damage to the island was repaired but there was plenty of things the people needed to recover from. “We should do something good now things have settled down again my love” he added. Peyton was his life partner and they did make a good couple. Peyton Coldstone

"She does seem to have an unexplainable bond with Sparky, I do hope that she keeps that as she gets older." It was cute to see them growing closer and growing up too, even she knew that much. She looked at him when he mentioned them doing something good because she did agree with that. "Hm, maybe dancing like a night out dancing." David Lightfeather

David knew about him bonding with pets when he was older than when Ella was now. She was trying to talk and walking quite confidently now so was following Sparky round when they played at the park. “It might be something with dogs in general as she takes after both of us and he knows whose boss. Perhaps he’s closer to an equal to her” he suggested. He certainly knew David and Peyton were his bosses but he was a middle aged dog already. When she was older he would be too. “Do you have a suggestion about where to go?” he added. If not they could look together he supposed but this island was starting to get everything you’d find elsewhere. A music festival had been and gone and that also meant concerts throughout the year.

"I was honestly just going to pull up a digital map of hot spots and type in some random coordinates and then whatever coordinates were close to something that I did not feel was too dangerous for either of us was the thing that I was going to suggest for us to do." She knew that there was no logic in it however. David Lightfeather

They were both scientists but picking a nightspot could be done in different ways. He tended to pick up on what colleagues said and then get more details later on. Peyton’s idea sounded valid enough to him. “There’s plenty of options my love. So find a map and have a look” he replied with a smile. He knew the west slums were semi-safe, old town was safe too.

"I went to this mom club thing the other day," she said. "It was interesting but there are a lot of weird moms and things like that it makes me even more grateful for you and Ella," she said being honest. "Then I needed to get back to work and being here is making everything better but I do finally have an idea for a project for you and I to work on." She pulled out her phone. "I marked the good spots with bright dots and anything that might have wild animals I am staying away from for the both of us." David Lightfeather

The map David seen showed plenty of possibilities with wild animals taken out the posed questions at least. He did have a question after he looked over this and asked “it looks like there’s possibilities but what idea do you have in mind?” “Do you think you’ll go back there?” he added taking her hand. They were very close and while he’d met new people he did worry about Peyton. Peyton Coldstone

She did like the fact that she had learned to get out and talk to others but she would be lying if she did not admit that hanging and talking and working with David was the favorite part of her day and her family life was amazing. "Maybe but my first priority is still work and family." David Lightfeather

Perhaps Peyton might go back there but a group of mothers had to be a good thing. They’d went through the same kind of things and it might well be good for children as well. “It’s good to meet other people and we might well meet more when we have our date night” he replied. By now they’d reached daycare and David swiped with his badge to allow them to enter. Children were playing and exploring in the rooms beyond them and through the windows they could see Ella playing in the sand pit with others. “It looks like she’s being creative” he added softly. Just handling the sand was doing the job. Peyton Coldstone

She nodded because she felt like her and David had an understanding and that there life was as good as it could be without much trouble. They minded their business and still did fun things. It was wild as they entered the children's play area. "She does seem very creative and I love that for her, for us being able to watch her grow up as we do." David Lightfeather

It was as if Ella had carved out her own little bubble of space in the sandpit as she worked the sand looking puzzled when it wouldn’t stay in the balls she moulded. The solution would be discovered soon enough if she kept her mind on the question. She did look up and seeing her parents looked excited. Still sandy she ran over to David and Peyton. “Momma” she said this time. “Sand” as she pointed to the sand pit. “Our little darling learns all the time. Just wait till she figures out adding water to sand makes it firmer” he remarked. Peyton Coldstone

She waved to Ella and then turned to David. "I never got around to saying it but thanks for dealing with everything when it came to my mom and yes, I hope she likes sand. I find it is okay but I hope she learns to love it." David Lightfeather
