Andre looked at his wife, a grin showed on his face. He said, "Marrying me had a lot of perks, right?"

"Absolutely! You think I married you just for the hell of it?" Mia asked.

Andre chuckled, showing a mix of happiness and resignation. He said, "Keep crunching the numbers then; figure out what month is best for baby number two. I'll stick around as much as I can on those nights." Mia was left speechless. Her husband was back to his old tricks.

As soon as Molly got home, she was on the phone with Chad. Lounging on her bed, phone in hand, she said, "Chad, I don't think I'll get married before senior year. If I don't find a boyfriend, will you write my graduation thesis?"

Chad, tidying up his desk while on the call, retorted, "You're only a sophomore and already planning for senior year, should I be praising or scolding you?"

"Please, Chad? Mia's got a husband and Leo's got brains. I'm the pitiful one here, with nothing but my big brother." Molly said.

Chad chuckled, stuffing things into a drawer, "No I can't. Andre won't spoil Mia by actually writing her thesis. You two can daydream all you want, but this is your responsibility. No skipping out."

Eventually, Molly and Mia each got a computer, staring blankly at the empty documents on the screens. They were both at a loss for where to start. Beside the desk sat a chubby toddler, with bottle in hand, and was adorably gazing at Molly and Mia poring over their studies.

Both wished the little chunk would spill water on the computers, giving them an excuse to run to his dad - Andre.

After a moment, Chad had to hang up for a meeting.

The lower-ranking officers at the police station watched their young superior emerge from his office. They all chuckled, saying ever since Molly got her days off, Officer Chad's days off had become punctual.

"Captain, were you on the phone with Molly again?" One of the officers asked.

Chad laughed, "Molly's off in dreamland. Don't mention her."
