[Payton digs into his bag and pulls out a pink glittery pen] Here ya go babe. Pick any color you want, but pink looks best on you [Payton winks playfully as he hands her the pen]

Mason and Mia huh? Sounds like they've got great names!

Can we meet them now?

I'm excited to see what kind of personalities they have.

[Payton grins eagerly]

Payton: Haha! Of course, babygirl...I mean, Lavender! Chicken Alfredo it is! smirks at his mistake and chuckles I'll whip up some pasta, cook the chicken in cream sauce, and toss it all together with some steaming hot fettuccine. Sound like a plan?

Tosses the chopped veggies into the boiling pot for the salad and cracks an egg into a pan for himself

And hey, while I'm cooking, why don't you work on getting comfortable on the couch with a blanket or something?

No worries there, sweetie. After lunch, we can definitely pick out a flick to enjoy together. For now though, let's focus on you getting some rest. Remember, you took your medicine not long ago, which means you might experience some drowsiness setting in soon.

If you really feel up to watching a film, we can always pause it when you start feeling too tired and resume later, okay? Safety first, remember? Your health comes before everything else.
