“Good morning!” Thatch and Haruta exclaimed cheerfully in unison to their sleepily disoriented father.

“Morning you two, did you get any sleep?” Marco asked as he lifted himself off of the bed and yawned, rubbing the rest of his sleep out of his eyes once his hands were freed from Haruta’s grip.

“Uh-Huh! I slept for this many hours!” Haruta said, proudly displaying both of her open palms to Marco, while Thatch slipped off of the bed and nodded. “We slept lots!”

“That’s good, you guys need your sleep after all, yoi.” Marco smiled reaching out to ruffle the hair of his two children. Both toddlers grinned as they each took his hands and pulled him off of the bed with encouragements of “C’mon”’s and “We don’ wanna be late.”

Marco chuckled as he climbed onto his feet and looked over the two with the fondness only a father could possess. Marco was a single father of two–twins to be exact. They were no more than three–barely out of their two’s by a month–with Haruta as the oldest of the two by four minutes, though it was clear that Thatch loved to take on the ‘older sibling’ role between the two.

Marco had to admit that they were quite a handful, he had had a lot of help during their infant years while he was living with Oyaji and the rest of his family, but recently his job had required him to move cities. Marco had been unable to refuse the offer, and to be quite honest with himself, the pay was infinitely better.

Unfortunately, taking on the new position and job had meant that he and his children would have to relocate to a different city and he could no longer entrust them to his sister Izo or any of his other numerous brothers. So Marco had had to look around the area and search for a daycare for his two precious children. And after a couple of weeks of searching, he found one that he was comfortable with. The daycare he found most suitable for his babies was called Ohara Daycare Center, the reviews he had read online were all very positive. Each and every one read that the staff was very friendly and attending to the children. They were in a highly safe environment where they were also taught socializing skills as well as basic academic things according to their ages.

When Marco had gone to scout out the place he had met with Robin, the founder of the little establishment and one of the teachers there. She had assured Marco that every child was looked after, they took every precaution when it came to signing the children in and signing them out at the end of the day. The children were allowed breaks between every two hours and were given snacks in the middle of the day, the meals were either provided by the daycare or lunches packed by their parents. Robin had also given Marco a pamphlet that detailed their activities and schedules depending on their age groups.

Marco had taken the information home and gone over it a million times by himself and with his family until Izo made him see that Ohara was a really great environment for his children to be, and that it would actually be beneficial for them to get a head start on their learning practices.
