It will be fine. Dasha mentally promised herself a couple more times as she closed the distance between herself and Nik’s house. On her shoulder was a decent sized purse. In her left hand was a small decorated Pokemon crate with a red cover over the front, obscuring whatever was inside of it. It will be fine… Then why did she have the sinking feeling it wouldn’t be? Nik is family, and Orion is— Dasha grimaced and walked a little faster. Finally coming up to the door, she rang the doorbell.
“Hey Nik thanks for—“ Dasha stopped on finding Orion standing there instead. He’d been on the couch watching a movie and got to the door faster and now was looking her up and down, his gaze zeroing in on the case she brought with her.
“You’ve got a fancy carrier for it too?” Orion had heard something about Dasha leaving a baby Pokemon with him and Nik for the night while she went with her friend out to see the fireworks, but he was still surprised to see she went to such lengths for it. Well, actually he found it kind of cute? Heh.
Dasha chewed her lip, sort of stepping in as Orion stepped out of the way. “Is Nik around?”

Nik emerged from their room a few moments later, skin a bit damp and hair still slightly dripping even as they toweled it. Warm, cozy pajamas told tale of someone whose New Year plans were to stay in enjoying a nice evening with their boyfriend, and probably drinking a bit later in the night. If they could see any fireworks from the house they could sit on the back porch or the upper front porch and watch for a bit, but if not oh well.
"Ah, hey Dash," they greeted. "Sorry, thought I had time for a quick shower." As their eyes fell down to the carrier, brows raised before their gaze moved back up to her. "Any chance you wanna share what species we're agreeing to watch now or will we be spending the evening with Mystery Box here~?" they teased.

Ah- there was Nik. Dasha smiled a little at the greeting before shaking her head some. “Ah it’s— she’s a little special and—“ Her gaze flicked back to make sure Orion had closed the door behind her to make sure the baby wouldn’t make a mad dash for it on finding herself in an unfamiliar place. “We’re not exactly sure what she is just yet— we being Interpol. I’m keeping her for the time being.”
Orion’s eyebrow quirked a little at Dasha’s words, but his gaze would flicker down to the box again. Why the heck did Interpol have something to do with this? As much as he wanted to make a comment on not keeping tabs on the police’s shit, he’d keep it to himself for now. “Well let’s see it?” he offered up instead.
Dasha sighed and set down the crate before slowly opening it. In a blur of purple and blue, the small baby came forth, both ear-arms wrapping around Dasha’s right bicep as she nuzzling it. “I’ve been calling her Starry, but we still don’t have an official species name yet.” Never mind that Interpol reports pretty closely linked it to a creature called Cosmog.

Oh!! Oh shit so was it?? a new species, or maybe even something that had been constructed like Type: Null were? That made a lot more sense as to why Dasha had been dodgy about details. "She's precious???" was all Nik could seem to say though. Like... Wow blue and purple and gold and starry glitter and gentle pulsing and aesthetic, but also just... the way she clung to Dasha that bespoke her nature as a real baby.
Their heart was... so endeared and oh no now they were having flashbacks and it was too early to be getting emotional. Slowly extending a hand toward her in offer, Nik cooed, "Hey there, little Starlight. Aren't you a beautiful baby girl...~"

Orion’s eyes grew as well on seeing the baby at Dasha’s arm. W-w-wow??? What bright colors. What a small yet airy body— He kind of wanted to squish her right out of the gate and had to stop himself from reaching out to do so.
The baby, meanwhile, looked shyly towards Nik and then up to Dasha. “It’s ok, sweetie, this is Nikki~” Dasha assured softly, slowly shifting to both make her more comfortable in her arms and free up a little ear-arm— that rather quickly clasped Nik’s hand right after. Hm… this was… a soft hand not quite like Dasha’s but… The baby slowly smiled before letting Nik’s hand go shyly and folding against Dasha again, not quite hiding her face but….
Dasha was gushing a little too much. “Is she not the cutest?” she offered with a wide, proud grin.
"She's an angel," Orion commented back.

ffffffffffffffffffffffff her little antenna puff whatever it was was so squishy and did not at all feel like Nik had expected and they wanted to feel so much more and-- Okay okay calm down take it slow. Don't scare the baby. "Just so you're warned, there is like. an 83% chance that I'm gonna try to steal her," Nik 'teased' but not really as their writer cackled maniacally. "Is there anything we can do to help her get settled in?"
Shortly after, Dasha would receive a text from Alex.
-- Hey. Which flavor treats did you say seemed to upset her stomach? Or did you decide she probably just overate after all? --
She had come to Pahala with Dasha and Starry, but left to run to the store for them when Dasha started worrying she may not have packed enough (despite overpacking for one night in Alex's opinion but this was Dasha). Now though she wasn't sure just which variety Dasha had wanted or if she should just get all of them.

Dasha giggled softly and shook her head. “You’d have to fight me for her,” she answered before looking thoughtful. She’d… packed quite a lot in this giant-ass purse that she was carrying, but was there anything else— Oh Alex, perfect.
-- The spicy ones seemed to upset her stomach but she likes the sweet and sour ones. Make sure there are no artificial preservatives. --
Looking back up to Nik, she smiled a little. “Alex’s getting her some of the Pokefood she likes,” she explained before… actually setting the bag from her shoulder down. It thudded surprisingly hard for that type of flooring and that type of bag. Orion’s eyebrow quirked, but as he leaned over to inspect what all was in it, he’d find it jammed packed with stuff. Soft baby toys, hard baby toys, raddles and shakers and blankies and a stuffed red Minior core plush. A small puff of air escaped from Orion, but as Dasha looked up scrutinizing, he averted his gaze.
“Sweetie why don’t you try letting Nikki hold you?” Dasha whispered easing the baby from her arms. The latter tried several times to cling to her, not too happy to be pried free, but slowly she accepted her fate and extended both antennae at Nik.
Oh. Nik holding the baby had Orion’s heart unexpectedly warming. “Hey there little one~” he cooed leaning over Nik’s shoulder to stare down at the baby. She'd tremble slightly and fold into Nik right after that.

Alex sniffed a light laugh to herself. For one, it wasn't like she'd know what to look for unless the package explicitly said "no artificial preservatives", but the definitions of 'artificial' might vary. But for two, Dasha hadn't had her all that long and as far as Alex knew had nothing to go on as to whether such preservatives were actually any worse for her or if this just 'sounded healthy'. But man, as vague-annoyed as she felt like she should find that, she was kind of endeared. If nothing else, Mom Mode Dasha had proven amusing this past month. (...Was Alex also vaguely grateful that Dasha had been staying home more and that she'd had something to do when she was gone in helping with the baby? Yeah. Yeah probably. Well okay then.)
---
As Dasha handed Starry over and she settled into their arms, more of those nostalgic feelings welled up in them. Their mouth opened and shut, and when Orion startled her Nik's hands moved seemingly of their own accord to cradle her more snugly and rub her gently. "Sssh... It's all right, little love." Nik smiled gently. "He's big like an Ursaring, but he's cuddly like a Teddiursa~ You're safe here." No one would hurt her. Ahh they couldn't wait to show Jasna the baby, and Lucy would be so good with her Nik thought, and-- they probably needed to explicitly make sure Mr. Fish knew not to eat the baby actually but Nik was gonna put off mentioning that right this moment. >n>

Slowly Starry settled again, her gaze focused on Nik before flicking to Orion again. She… might not actually have been all that sure what a Teddiursa or Ursaring was, but she sort of just nodded at the analogy and snuggled into Nik some more. Arceus, she was precious. Arceus Nik was precious, and Orion was warming up just standing there. Slowly, smoothly he reached a hand over and felt over one of the small bulbous extensions. FFFFF???? She was so soft??? So squishy?? Like…that weird impulse to squeeze her came back, and he was fighting it even harder now???
Watching all of this it was Dasha’s turn to be endeared. Her cute sibling and their endeared partner was a sight she …wasn’t exactly sure she’d ever expected to see or realize how endearing it actually was… Fffff…. She… almost didn’t want to go ;n; but- but going out with Alex and Sam and having two of her favorite people meet was going to be great so… so… Ahhh but… “She also really likes…” Dasha was quick to pull out the Minior core plush that would catch the baby’s attention almost immediately. Antennae extended, and as they were filled with the plush, she trilled and snuggled into it. There now, she’d be a lot more comfortable like that.

????????? Why-??? Why did just Orion touching her make Nik this giddy? Wow they were just... Pfhahaha??? Their plans had gone from 'get drunk together' to 'babysit together' and this was going to be so much better honestly?? Playing with the precious little dear and what did you mean this should have been a pretty obvious thing for Nik to get gushy over given how much they'd both doted on Lexi less than a week ago and their brief but important conversation about both kind of wanting but understanding they weren't well-suited for kids right now.
Oh!! Oh look how snuggly she looked. "Ah-- babe!" Their voice was enthusiastic but still not too loud. "Don't you have a Shiny Minior?" Looking to Dasha, they asked, "Do you think she'd like that?"

Oooooohhhhhh!!! “I do,” Orion grinned flashing Dasha the brightest look he’d ever given her.
For a few seconds, she was stunned before blinking back into reality and slowly nodding. “I actually found her during a star fall— Minior fall, and from what we gathered, she sort of considers them family?” Or something?? To that effect? It wasn’t too clear, but she certainly liked them.
“One sec,” was all Orion would say before disappearing upstairs to his computer to pull the Minior from his PC. It’d take him a moment to transfer it from at the ranch, but as he came back down the stairs again, he was glowing with a grin and holding a Pokeball in his hand. “Here, Starry meet Mini,” he mused releasing the Minior.
O.O The small baby’s eyes were huge round spheres, and suddenly she was squeaking and throwing her arms out trying to hug the real Minior and nearly forgetting about her toy in the process.
Orion was fast enough to catch the toy before it fell and flashed Dasha a grin. “Looks like she likes the real deal a little more~” he teased. Dasha was… too endeared by Starry’s expression and adoration to really care at that point.
The Minior in question blinked a little confused but smiled none the less.

SHE WAS SO CUTE??? As she flung herself at the Minior, Nik barely managed to hang on. "I wish we had more for her to play with." Hopefully she'd get along well with other Pokemon too given time to warm up though. "If we weren't tight on money after Christmas I'd wanna go buy some. Ahh maybe I could borrow Sera's next time we watch her." Wait was that too presumptuous? "Ah- assuming we watch her again."
Ahhhh but but but but-- "Babe. Babe could you go get Jas? Er-- Jasna not Jazz Jazz, ehehe." The Mienshao was napping on Nik's bed at the moment, but he just had to show her the babyyy.
Meanwhile, Alex had finished grabbing stuff and ridden Moonfire to quickly hop over to Nik's neighborhood, and now squinted at the directions on her phone. Which one was this again? She should probably remember from Christmas but there were like 3 houses within a block or two that had sort of similar balcony things and Alex honestly didn't pay that much attentio-- ... Oh it was.. probably that one down there with the jungle shit in the back yard lol. Yeah okay she was on her way.

Dasha… was becoming endeared by how endeared Nik was, if that was even possible. The way they just… cooed and spoke and hhhhh… “If all goes well,” was all she’d answer back with on Nik’s end of things. She wasn’t about to say yes right off the bat, not in the case and place of this precious baby, but if all went well, then she had nothing to fear.
Orion, meanwhile, was chuckling and nodding. “Alright~” he mused wandering off to Nik’s room to go get Jasna. Pushing the door open, he called. “Jas~ Come see the baby Dasha brought.” He grinned a bit briefly. “She’s too cute, a precious angel.” What do you mean he was already starting subliminal messaging, no not at all. Once she’d heard it, he’d follow back to the front.
The baby and her new star shaped friend were having a rather interesting baby-talk conversation now that included the Minior twirling around forward and back and upside down, and the baby bursting into fits of giggles in response. Dasha too was trying not to giggle at such a good sight. A knock on the door would have her pausing and stepping sideways to get it. That had to be Alex right?

Jasna barely stirred at Orion's voice, but an eye cracked open. Wh--what now? Who had a baby? Oh.. Oh she vaguely remembered Nik on the phone earlier saying something about a baby and then that Dasha was bringing a Pokemon to babysit. That made more sense than Dasha having a human baby. Sitting up, she yawned and stretched tiredly and ran her paws over her face before finally sliding down out of bed. The leg she'd broken some time back was in a brace now, and she favored the good one a bit as she walked, but it didn't slow her just walking at this point and didn't bother her beyond a dull annoyance.
"Jas~! Jazzy look at her," Nik called as she entered the room. Aww? She was pretty cute~
As Dasha opened he door, a person in shades spoke: "Excuse me, ma'am. We have reason to believe you're smuggling dangerous contraband."
Nik frowned. "Dude that's not funny." Alex gave a cheeky grin, but Nik just turned their attention back to Starry. "She's not dangerous at all~ No she's da kyootest snugga fwuffem snoogles, yes~ Lyubov moya," they cooed, gently tickling her. "Solnyshko moya, zvyozdochka moya~" Heh wow they hadn't used pet names like that in ages, huh?
Jasna's eyes were growing wide, though. O-oh, oh she saw it now. Oh no her heart oh...

Pfffff, Alex. Dasha physically snorted. Nikki what do you mean that’s not funny, that’s hilarious. As Nik switched to those endearing words, however, Dasha paused. Ah… wow. She ah, suddenly missed Gramps Yakov, heh. Not that she could really do anything about that now. The feeling was fleeting, at least, so Dasha turned her attention back to Alex. “Thanks for grabbing her food,” she nodded briefly.
Orion, meanwhile, had only a vague idea of what Nik was saying but was equally endeared by that tone of voice they were using. Awe~ This was setting up to be a cute night, huh? His eyes raised to Dash and then flicked to Alex very briefly. A small head nod was given in greeting. “You guys have time for a beer?”
They did not, actually, as Dasha received a text message that had her glancing over. Ah, shoot, where had the time gone? “Actually,” she looked back towards Alex and then at the baby and bit her lip. She…. She really didn’t want to leave her ;n; even though she knew Nikki would be good and had some vague hope Orion would keep after her alright. Hhhhhhh…. “Er…” No she couldn’t be staying or she’d never leave.
