Max just smiled at her husband and turned on a movie once he was asleep trying not to drift off herself. Eventually she decided to pull out a small sketchbook she kept beside the couch and draw in hopes to keep herself awake. Eventually Charlie joined them as well sitting in one of the chairs and playing with some plushies and the rings her grandfather had given her. Eventually she even got down to color in a coloring book that had been sitting on the coffee table.

Sage slept for around an hour and a half or so before shifting slightly and then looking up at Max, blinking blearily. "What time is it," he asked in a definitely still sleepy/raspy voice as he looked around for a clock. He shifted so he was sitting up, but still curled up into Max's side and rested his head on her shoulder, watching what she was doing. "Are we all drawing," he asked, reaching for a pencil and drawing a rather shaky looking smiley face on her page. "That's the extent of my drawing talent," he chuckled lightly. "unless you have something you want me to design. Like another room or something," he mused.

Maxine chuckled "Don't worry its only 2pm." she told him before she nodded "Yes we are all drawing." she smiled showing him the drawing of him sleeping she'd made kissing his forehead before she giggled at his little drawing "It's beautiful hun." she giggled before kissing him playfully "Can you wait until I have this baby before we design another room?" she teased playfully.

Sage grunted at the picture she'd made of him sleeping, an eyebrow creeping up slightly. "I look like a literal five year old," he commented with a slight chuckle. "Do I actually look like that while I sleep," he asked her, looking at her before squinting down at the picture, admittedly a bit surprised/confused. He was a demon....he scowled at ninety percent of the world, if not more, and he definitely didn't look or sound that innocent and gentle anywhere else. He chuckled and rolled his eyes at her laugh at his drawing and then snorted in amusement. "Please let's do that so I can catch up on sleep," he joked lightly.

"You look cute!" She giggled nodding "You look adorable if that's what you mean... especially curled up with my bump." She giggled playfully ruffling his hair "Oh not yet please..." She snickered softly "Speaking of which... I've had to pee for like half an hour now... would you mind getting off me for a minute?" She chuckled.

Sage huffed at her comments and pouted, though he obviously was quite pleased with himself, given the blush that had spread across his cheeks. "I'm not cute," he grumbled, though with no real malice in his voice. Then he chuckled and grinned up at her. "What would you do if I said no," he asked in a rather joking manner, but did get off her, since he didn't feel like getting peed on.And he didn't want to make her uncomfortable either. Though, that brought back the thought that he'd almost killed all of them, and that brought back the burning guilt in his chest, and once Max had left, he let out a sigh and sunk onto the couch, closing his eyes painfully.

"No you're not you're adorable." She said simply. She gave him a playful scowl "I will pee on the couch and you'll have to clean it up..." She pointed out with a smirk before she finally got up to go to the bathroom. Charlie looked over at her dad giggling before she got up and showed him the coloring book page she'd colored "Look dada!" She squeaked "Isn't it pretty?!" She yelped.

Sage chuckled lightly at Max's comment, them sort of stared at the ceiling, mind curling and chest throbbing and stomach churning when he thought about what he'd done. And what he'd almost done. Even if it wasn't his mind, it was still him.....at least that's what he felt like. And he could have done more...fought harder, or sooner, or.... something. Anything. He was mostly distracted from his thoughts with Charlie, who shoved her book in his face. It was really too close to see it, so he took hold of the book and moved it back a bit, examining the picture before nodding and smiling at the girl. "looks great, hon," he chirped. It was definitely a baby picture, but so far it looked like she'd gotten at least some of Max's talents.

Charlie giggled happily "Thank you dada!" She squeaked happily beaming with pride over her coloring. "Mama said she's gonna make me a coloring book soon too." She chirped. "Yes I did." Max chuckled as she came out of the bathroom "I thought it be something cool that all the little ones we know have a coloring book." She said "I'd they like it I might try to sell it." She admitted.

Sage chuckled at the little girl and scooped her up into his lap to talk. He raised his eyebrows when she mentioned Max making one, and then looked over at his wife when she re entered the room. "I think it's a lovely idea," he chirped. Though, that for him thinking....what about writing a book? He'd always made up stories in his head, so why not try to get them out on paper? It may be a nice, fun way to make some extra cash, sort of like Max's art was for her.
