Liz was feeling rather tired and wasn’t feeling up to moving a lot so she decided to not go downstairs that day and instead opted to do as much as she felt up to doing from the couch, she had managed to get slightly again with some of her November work and wanted to try and focus on getting as ahead on her admin work as she could, especially with just how close the birth was now and that she wouldn’t be doing any admin work for a while afterwards.

[open!]

Liz was still not feeling up to going downstairs again this week, so she decided to take it easy again and do a little bit of admin work on the couch. She wanted to try and get as much work done in the next couple of weeks as she could, especially with the due date getting closer.

So she was spending the morning, resting as comfortably as she could manage and trying to get in front of as much of her work as she could.

[The Photo Hut is open!]

Liz hadn’t felt up to going downstairs to work that morning and she had decided instead to rest on the couch.

She was mostly doing some work on the laptop that she could do without going downstairs, answering a few emails and updating her spreadsheets.

It was father’s day and Liz wanted to be able to do something special for Prompto, so she had gotten up early and had gotten Noctra up and ready, then she started work on making breakfast.

Liz was focusing on the eggs and bacon and keeping an eye on Noctra, who had insisted on helping with breakfast as well so Noctra was helping stir the pancake batter, some of the batter was ending up on the floor so there was going to be a clean up later but for the time being Liz was focused on getting breakfast ready for when Prompto woke up.

[for the husband!}

Liz was still not feeling a hundred percent and thought she’d give it another week before she tried to working from downstairs again, she had thought that she might have felt better and a couple of times she had but it was back to not being a good day.

She didn’t have that much to do since Prompto had been taking care of a lot of the admin side of the store for her, which she was very grateful for and she was trying to answer a few emails that had come through and check on some of the spreadsheets.

Liz had fully intended to go downstairs for work that morning but she was still not feeling well even though it had been a few days since they had gotten back from Barbados. She wasn’t sure how much work she was actually going to be doing but she figured she could at least do some of the work in the apartment and it would be a bit more comfortable than working at the computer downstairs.

After a lovely dinner yesterday, Prompto and Liz were having their second dinner to celebrate Prompto’s birthday and had chosen a restaurant to try. Babysitting duties had been arranged and it was going to be their second kid free evening of the trip.

“Happy birthday,” Liz smiled as they were lead to their table, “I know its not Cafe Fina but I hope this will be a nice place to celebrate,”

It was Father’s day and Liz had gotten up early so that she could make breakfast for Prompto, once Noctra had been woken up and gotten ready for the day, she set about in the kitchen making a breakfast spread of eggs, bacon, hash browns and fresh toast and orange juice.

Meanwhile Noctra was happily sitting at the table and working on one of her many pictures that she had drawn for Prompto.

[for the husband]

So the good news was that Prompto made it back last night, the bad news was that it seemed Fandom weirdness had struck again and Prompto was a pony, so Liz was definitely not going to be heading downstairs to work that day.

Hopefully the pony thing was only going to last the day?

[post is open!]

It was their first Thanksgiving together as a family and even though they had considered going to the BPRD for Thanksgiving this year, they had decided to stay home and have a Thanksgiving celebration. Prompto was busy in the kitchen all morning, putting the finishing touches to their meal as Liz made sure that Noctra was entertained while this was happening - it turned out Noctra really enjoyed the Thanksgiving parade.

And of course Liz was taking plenty of photos throughout the morning as well, making sure to document as much as she could of their Thanksgiving.

It was Parents Weekend and HB and Professor Broom were here, Liz hadn’t seen them since the wedding and they got to meet Noctra, which Liz would have liked for Prompto to be there but she was definitely making sure that there were plenty of photos.

Apparently Noctra had also taken a liking to HB’s horns and had definitely attempted to try and grab them, so Liz was spending a bit of time explaining that they weren’t for grabbing.

After everything that had happened, Liz didn’t like the idea of leaving Prompto to head downstairs to work that morning, so instead of heading down to work as she normally did on a Thursday, she decided to stay upstairs and leave the paperwork that she had to do for another day.

So she got Noctra fed and changed and settled for the morning and then she went about making breakfast in case Prompto felt up to eating breakfast. She hadn’t had to cook a lot of food, since she still had plenty of lunch and dinner meals ready thanks to Ignis and Nell, so she decided to try making something light for breakfast and see how it went.

It had been a week since Prompto had vanished and Liz had been trying to stay focused, searching the island desperately as best she could to no avail.

The only thing that was keeping her hopeful that Prompto hadn’t ended up going back to Insomnia was that Ignis was still there and between him and Nell, she was grateful for their help with prepared meals so she had been able to focus on looking after Noctra as well as trying to do some work with the store, even though she hadn’t been able to concentrate on any work.

At the moment Noctra was sleeping, she had been fussy this morning and she had been up all night with her, before finally getting her to settle. As she waited for Noctra to wait, she repeatedly checked her phone just in case there was a message or a phone call from Prompto somehow, despite it being over a week now but she had to keep checking.

[open!]

It was getting later in the day and after she’d finished the chores she’d needed to do around the house and got Noctra settled for the afternoon, Liz couldn’t help but look at phone to see if Prompto had called or messaged and so far there was nothing.

Liz knew that Prompto had been out working on getting shots with his new camera lens and it wasn’t unusual that he would stay out late with work but he normally called beforehand that he wouldn’t be back til late.

She bit her lip and looked at the time and then her recent messages and there was still nothing.

(expecting a visitor but can be open)

Liz had not slept at all last night.

She knew it was going to be hard saying goodbye to David, she had tried to prepare herself as best she could, for letting go of her brother again but nothing could have prepared her for how much it had hurt. It felt like she was losing her brother all over again and now she just felt numb. She had spent much of the night crying on and off and had been afraid to sleep, it had been months since she had last had a nightmare and she had been scared of having another one, she was afraid of losing Prompto and Noctra.

She was so grateful for Prompto being there with her, he had not gone downstairs for his shift today and had stayed with her and Noctra, she hadn’t wanted to be alone and she had tried to do as best she could but she was tired and wished David was there.

She was curled up on the couch later that morning, Prompto had made her breakfast and she had tried to eat something but she couldn’t. She stared at one the photos she had taken of David, holding it in her hand, afraid to let it go.

[for the husband, who is modded with permission!]

Liz still couldn’t believe that her brother was here, that she had been spending the last couple of days with him and she knew this wasn’t permanent and it hurt that he wasn’t going to stay.

So she had been taken advantage of being with David while she could, she had taken lots of photos and he’d met Noctra and Rain and now she wanted to make a breakfast and spend as much time as she could with him because she had a feeling she would be saying goodbye again soon and that idea hurt but this time she could say goodbye, she hadn’t gotten the chance to the first time.

David had wanted to help and so Liz had given him the task of stiring the pancake batter, which was making a bit of a mess but David was enjoying himself and Liz couldn’t help but smile, although somewhat sadly as she stared at her brother.

[open!]

Liz was hoping that after the last few nights of restless sleep, she was hoping tonight was going to be different, she was still a little on edge from the dreams about her brother - normally they turned.

After Noctra had been fed, changed and gone to bed for the night and the kitchen had been cleaned up from dinner, Liz joined Prompto on the couch as they settled on for the evening.

“Do you think we should try and watch something?” Liz looked over at Prompto a little tiredly, “maybe it will help us fall asleep?”

She didn’t think it would work but it was worth a try.

[for the husband and eventual visitors]

It was Prompto’s first father’s day and Liz wanted to make sure that it was a special occasion and so she had gotten up early to start making breakfast for him. Noctra was still asleep but it wouldn’t be long before she would wake up for her feed so she wanted to try and get as much of a head start on breakfast as she could. In the meantime she had also fed Rain so Rain was happily by her food bowl eating while Liz started cooking.

She had decided to go with making bacon and eggs and pancakes, so she was trying to be careful about not making too much noise since Prompto and Noctra were still asleep.

[for the husband! And up early for timezones and all the sp!]
