Room 308, Tuesday, Evening, With an Adorable Toddler

Okay, so, her random stop in at work had led to ... babysitting. Right. For a chubby-cheeked adorable little angel who had mercenaries and hired killers from different timelines and dimensions trying to kill her

You know, hauling a shopping cart full of baby supplies, including but not limited to a crib and a package of every size diaper at T&C, up three flights of stairs?

Was a bit tricky. But Reno was stubborn, and he wasn't making trips up and down the stairs, dammit, and he'd finally made it. Cart, baby stuff, about a million things that went 'squeak,' baton and all.

Rikku was so lucky he loved her.

Knock knock!

Her natural instinct was to shout "Come in!" cheerfully. This was kinda not a good idea, if people were possibly after Janice. Right.

So she scooped the little one up onto her hip and went over to the door, warily. (Couldn't just leave her lying on the bed. What if she fell off?) The door was only going to be opened a crack, with Janice very, very clearly out of the field of vision. That'd be safe.

She heaved a sigh of relief, upon glimpsing the familiar shock of red hair. "Hey, you. You get everything okay?"

Reno glanced at the shopping cart sitting in the hallway, a crib balanced precariously on top of a heap of diapers and wipes, and then he smiled almost sheepishly.

"An' then some, zoto. You gonna let me in?"

"You bet," she said, stepping back and swinging the door open.

She didn't need to ask if anyone had followed him, or if there were dangerous characters skulking in the hallway. It was Reno.

She stared at the cart as he wheeled it in. "Oh my gosh. You went all out, didn't you?"
