Riven's POV

"What the hell were they thinking?! Me and you?!" Musa ranted as she paced in Tecna and Timmy's living room, the lawyer left just an hour ago along with Roxy, Bloom, Sky, Layla and Nabu. Flora, Helia, Stella and Brandon are still here, since they know that the kid can't be left alone with us.

I stared at her with a tired expression as she paced through the living room, ranting shit that I couldn't care less about. "They definitely didn't think this through." I muttered.

"So...are you going to...you know..." Helia placed a hand on my shoulder, I just sighed tiredly and shrugged.

Brandon looked at me and Musa, shaking his head in disbelief. "This just happened way too fast, bro. Like, 5 hours ago I got a phone call from Timmy saying that he's on his way home and suddenly..." He sighs. "So, you two going to take care of their kid?"

"Like the lawyer said, you don't have to if you don't want to." Flora reminded. "Remember, there's still Tecna's parents, or Timmy's brother..."

Stella shook her head. "But the guy also mentioned that Tec's parents are too old for taking care an infant and have you met Timmy's brother?!" She crosses her arms in disgust. "That guy's a jerk."

Well, she's not wrong. I wouldn't want my godchild to be around an asshole like Theodore, Timmy's older brother. Last time I met him, he literally choked Timmy almost to death. Not to mention he's a drug addict.

"Then who?!" Musa demanded. "Me and this poor excuse of a guardian are never, I repeat, never going to proper guardians for Zach! It's not like I don't love Zach, I just...ugh! This is just happening way too fast! In less that 24 hours, there's a car crash, my best friend and her husband is killed, and before I know it, there's now a child in my care!"

"But then, they would have no choice but to give Zach away for adoption if there are no legal guardians for him... Come on, sweetie. Do it for Tecna." Flora pleaded as she picked up Zach from the crib. "At least you two will own this house and the money with this child..."

Musa looked at me and narrowed her eyes. "We can't even stay together in one room without fighting! How much more raising a child together in this house?!"

I sighed and crossed my arms. "I don't know about you but raising Zach as my own is no problem for me. As long as that pixie isn't with me in this." I then stood up. "Now if you would excuse me, I'm going to pack my stuff and move in here. For the kid's sake."

"Uh, I can bring your stuff here if you'd want." Brandon offered, "Me and Stella can get your stuff while Flora and Helia can get Musa's belongings."

Helia nodded as Flora handed the kid to me, then something popped in my mind. "Why won't you two just take care of him? I mean, you two are great with kids and all..."

Flora and Helia looked at each other and shook their heads. "Our hands are full with Dale and Alanna, not to mention we're expecting another."

I turned to Brandon and Stella, they both just shook their heads. "No thanks, Riv. Our hands are also full."

I groaned and looked at the boy, I frowned. Poor kid, lost his parents before he can even walk or talk. I expect him to live a normal life with his parents there for him, y'know? But I guess fate had other plans...

"So...we're going to leave you two for the night, alright? But we'll come here in the morning with your belongings." Brandon yawns as the others got up and headed towards the front door. "And please don't kill each other, we already lost two of our friends earlier..." Stella joked, but I'm not really sure. Since she looked like she's about to cry again.

"I can't promise you that, Stell." Musa half-joked and glanced over to the coffee table where there are some pictures of Tecna and Timmy, along with Zach. She shook her head as a tear fell from her reddish and puffy eyes. She then buried her head on a pillow nearby and started sobbing.

Seeing that Zach had fallen asleep, I slightly smiled. "We should get to bed, so many things happened today and god knows we need some shut eye." I stood up and walked upstairs to Zach's room, putting him to bed. I glanced around his room, it was just a typical toddler's room. Teddy bears and other stuffed animals everywhere, blue walls with outer space designs, toys scattered around everywhere, those spaceships, starts and planets that hanged on the ceiling. I smiled, it was like yesterday when Musa and I had a fight on what the kid's room design will be. But in the end, Timmy chose blue with a space design. So we had to agree and our arguing was a waste.

"I'll stay in the guest room," Musa comes in the room, there are still tears in her eyes and she looked emotionally tired. "You can stay in the master bedroom if you want."

The master bedroom, where this kid's parents usually slept. I shook my head. "Nah, it wouldn't feel right. I'll just sleep on the couch."

"You sure?" Musa gave me a questionable look, "You know they wouldn't min-"

"I just don't want to, alright? I can sleep on the couch." I cut her off and walked past her.

Musa reluctantly agreed, "Suit yourself, did you say goodnight to this little guy yet?" She smiles at me, but I can tell it's forced. She then approached the crib and planted a kiss on Zach's forehead, "Sweet dreams, Zacky."

I smirked at her, clearly amused. "Really? Zacky? How about something like Zackinator?" I jokingly suggested. "After all, the closest thing he has for a daddy now is the Rivenator."

Musa slightly chuckles and walks out of the room. "Look, I'm tired. T-this just happened all too fast...I-I need some rest if you need me." With that, she walked to the room next to Zach's room and went in.

I sighed and closed the lights in Zach's room, slowly closing the door so I won't wake him up. I'm pretty tired myself too, both physically and emotionally. T-Timmy was still alive after the crash, since the airbags did a fairly good job. But of course, it only cushioned the crash. Not prevent it. Tecna already died of head injury before we even got there but Timmy died of blood loss shortly after we had arrived at the hospital. What a long day. I yawned as I walked downstairs to the couch, throwing a pillow and jumping on the couch, I tried shifting on a comfortable position. I frowned as I turned to the side and was greeted by the picture of the couple that recently left the world.

What a long day.


A/N: Reminder that the Specialists are police officers in this story while the Winx...err...I don't know, stuff?

Anyway, nothing much to say except that I'm updating my other stories tomorrow, if not then it means I got distracted by the internet. Again.

Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed it!
