Lyric stayed by the doorway and watched them.
"Prince's brother's old room, I think... I never paid any attention to their rooms," Lyric giggled.

Prince nodded.
"My son, Duke's in there. He's sleeping though and he's a nasty booger if you wake him," Prince chuckled. "Don't worry though you can meet him tomorrow."
Prince rose to his feet. "Need anything else Warbler?"

Warbler nodded, and yawned, calmed now by only the patter of rain on the roof, and surrounded by trusted being.
"Thanks guys... I'll be sure not to wake him...." She said slurring her words with another yawn, falling into the covers and snuggling up next to Iggy. "I think im good, but could you put this somewhere safe? So i can get new clothes tomorrow, and wash these, so i don't soil your sheets?" She asked, handing Lyric a wad of cash, abnormally large for only a six year old. "Thanks..."

Lyric shook her head.
"You hold onto that, Warbler. It's nothing, and tomorrow we'll go shopping and I'll buy you stuff, okay?" she smiled.

Prince walked over to the doorway and turned out the light.
"Ain't nothing to worry about Warbs," he smiled. "Goodnight, kiddo."

Warbler peered at her, and cautiously took the money back, placing the money in a hole in Iggy's back.
"Oh...T-Thank You Mrs. Sanders, I do appreciate that..." She said quietly, nodding off into sleep. "G'night..."

"Just call me Lyric," she was smiling. "Good night Warbler." She walked out of the room, turning off the light and pulling the door to as she walked out and into her and Prince's bedroom.

Prince followed.
"What do you think we should do with her?" Prince tilted his head. "i mean...i dont want her to end up in a place like she's come from. I know what it's like to be the unwanted one and...frankly i don't want Warbler to just be pushed into some random uncaring foster family." he was hoping to persuade his wife into keeping the child.

Warbler nodded, and snuggled deeper under the covers, and smiled at Iggy.
"I like these guys Igs... I dunno about you, but i hope they don't send us home, they are nice and.. helpful, and caring!" She whispered, overhearing a bit of Prince's words about not wanting her to end up in a place like she came from, and frankly, she didn't wanna go back, so with that she finally surrendering to sleep.

Lyric laid down in the bed, pulling the covers over her.
"She is sweet...I mean, are we good enough for two kids now?" she sighed.

"I'm sure we can, baby," Prince said positively. "And it's not like Duke's a permanent kid, i'm sure as heck Khonny's gonna want him back with her sometime or another."
Prince sat on the bed next to her. "She'll be fine here," he said. "I know it."

The following morning.......

Warbler woke up as soon as the sun rose, and she hugged Iggy.
"Today's a new day Iggy... Things'll be awesome i bet!" She said, creeping out of bed. Warbler set Iggy on the small desk beside her bed, and decided to look around the house a bit. It's not intruding or anything, She thought as she tiptoed downstairs. Jusr exploring! She ventured into a small office looking room, and saw pictures of Prince when he was little, Lyric and Prince, and Duke with Prince. Warbler sighed.

"Maybe i'll be on here one day..." She mused quietly outloud, setting down a photo of young Prince, his tail and ears flopping in the wind, he was on the beach.

Lyric woke up soon after that, she walked into the living room, and into the kitchen to make breakfast.

Prince, who had already been awake working on an old truck in the back yard, heard the sound of someone in the office. He walked over and stood at the doorway, and found Warbler looking at some photographs.
"Whatcha doin there kiddo?" Prince asked.

Warbler jumped, almost dropping the photo, and whirling around quickly to catch it.
"Oh... Im sorry Prince, i was just looking.... You looked real cute..." She said, pointing at his puppy picture, laughing a bit.
"Why are you all dirty?" She asked, looking at his grease stained hands and shirt.
