"Knock knock," Jay announced their presence outside of Ilse's office, the door of which was wide open.

"Who's there?" James, the couple's adopted child who was trailing behind Jay, asked playfully.

"That was meant for your mama, kiddo."

Ilse looked up from her paperwork wearing a concerned expression. Her service dog Milo's tail started wagging as he heard the boy's voice, but remained heeled at her side. The demiwoman shook her head and sighed, something clearly on her mind. She opened her mouth to speak but stopped herself.

"I'm sorry, Jay. I'm dreadfully behind on paperwork, I don't know if I can make date night tonight," she adjusted her glasses, looking back down to the pile of work she had neglected in favor of pursuing her nineteenth PhD.

Their partner put their left (and only) hand at their waist and nodded. "Why don't you bring some of it with you? We were just going to relax at the bungalow tonight."

"I don't want to do that to you, dear. It's not fair."

"Hey, they kept me at 55 when you came out of the ADDC. There's nothing that's going to keep me from being at your side now. Except you. If you really don't want to, I understand. But I want to be with you, querida,"Jay smiled kindly. Ilse returned the smile, putting both elbows on her desk before burying her face into her open palms.

"Goed, goed, goed." she mumbled.

"Besides, Harry and James already have a date too, heh," they chuckled.

"We're gonna watch Star Trek!" James cheered, and his parents couldn't help but grin at the boy's excitement.

"Attaboy. So what do you say, Ilse? Come on. Let's have some fun."

"Oh, fine," her smile was ear to ear now as she stood. "Let me just pack up. I'll meet you at the bungalow?"

"Sounds great to me. I'll go drop James off with Harry and Mel at their dorm and then I'm gonna run into town for a moment. I've got something I want to pick up for us."

"Oh?" Ilse quirked an eyebrow. "What might that be?"

Jay winked before turning around and taking James by the hand, leaving her alone to pick up her paperwork.
