[It's been a few days, perhaps a week, since Elaine got back from the hospital. Her energy seems to be returning slowly, like Oda had said, but between Aria, the twins, and the small army of Pokemon under her care, she still keeps finding herself exhausted.
Luckily, there should be plenty of things around to keep Oda busy, both within the house itself and in the utterly alien world he's found himself in.
Most nights, for the sake of her own convenience and sanity, Elaine has the baby sleep in her bedroom. During the day, however, Elaine is content to let Aria nap wherever Oda happens to be. It's a small thing to worry about, but Elaine wants to be sure that whenever Aria's more quiet than usual, Oda can check to see if she's still breathing.
Today is a little different. Elaine's found herself under the weather, and while Aria was born in perfect health, she's still a newborn. It's nothing serious, and part of it's because she also wants a little peace and quiet, but Elaine's decided that maybe being by herself is for the best right now, whenever she can manage it. So off Aria goes to the living room, in her surprisingly comfy laundry basket that Elaine had converted into a sorta-cradle. Aria's all tucked in and wearing one of those little blanket suit things that Elaine's dad had bought for her, as grandparents do.
Like always, she looks like a very adorable potato.
Elaine still kisses Aria on the forehead before she heads off, because why the hell wouldn't she? That's what moms are for.
...everything is quiet in the living room, Oda.
There's no one around, and the lights are off.
Out of the corner of your eyes, you spot it.
Something has apparently opened the window and has also managed to crawl in.]
