“I say we blame it on Matteo as soon as my parents, your dad and his wife, your brother and his wife and her husband arrive.” I pause thinking about the first time we met them and how fascinated Kingsley and I were to learn about a working throuple relationship. They don’t call it that, but whatever I do. The damn shrinks like Boston, probably because none of them can really mind their business. But, I like their wife, Tini, she’s an oddball all around. Tutu-wearing ass.
I continue with what I was saying. “When they get here, that’s our answer. We’re a united front, baby or we can say it was the following; Boston, Adriano, who I don’t know why he’s moved here and your odd friend, Reign. There’s so many of them to blame.” I suggest.
King throws her head back and laughs. “I think they’d all disagree and still blame you.”
I shrug “The three musketeers won’t snitch on me.” I wink at her. I lean in and kiss her temple, swatting her ass just to piss her off. “Go rest, mama. Giddy up.”
She rolls her eyes but does as I say with a grin on her face. I watch her as she goes off, grabbing her jar of peanut butter with a side of Oreos and plops her ass on the couch.Poutinesits right by her as she turns the TV on and watches The Simpsons like the loyal fan that she’s been since she started. I shake my head and grin. I love this woman and the family that she’s given me.
I make my way to the boys’ bathroom after changing into simple pants and . They’re all waiting for me with their favorite toy in hand. I face the tub and refill the water.
“Daddy… Nino say it.” Cirus tells on his brother.
“What did he say, Pops?” I call him by his nickname. King thought it would be cute since it references her father.
“He say fuck when Papa say no.” He glares at Santino.
Gaël pushes Cirus. “Sniches get siches.” All three of them start to argue in toddler language.
“Boys…” I say in a calm tone and they stop. I don’t even bother turning around to face them. “Fall in line before we have a problem,” I say as I fill the water with their preference of bubble bath soap.
I don’t have to turn around to know that they’ve followed my orders. I turn to them and they’re standing there with identical pouts on their face. “Guys, be good to each other, okay? None of that snitches get stitches or that cursing in my house. The F word is a word for grown ups like me or your mama. What’s rule 1, G?” I ask Gaël.
He pouts but he knows I’m not playing with him. He whines but eventually he opens his mouth to talk. “No hitting carbom guppies.” He has tears in his eyes.
“G…” I give him a slight smile. “Come here,” I open my arms and he does.
“I’m sowwy, daddy,” he cries out.
“Don’t cry, Gaël, It’s okay. Papa loves you, okay? Don’t cry.” I kiss his cheek. He sobs and his brothers break down as well. “Come, come…” I call them into my arms too. I kiss their temples too.
“Love you, Daddy.”they all say.
“Love you too. Now how about bath time and then… we join mommy and the old boy,Tine?”
“Okay!” they yell.
* * *
After the bath, I dress the boys up in their matching pyjamas and I carry them in the living room to join King.
“You’re spoiling them,” King says with a smile on her face.
“I kinda went full Don on them instead of being their dad,” I frown.
“Aww my poor babies, come sit with me. Daddy’s mean, huh?” King asks Santino as he’s the first one to wiggle out and land on the couch to cuddle in her arms.
Santino nods. “Big meanie, daddy.” He says with a big smile on his face. “jus kiddin.”
“Daddy loves you even more, Nino.” I say as I sit right next to King. I lean down and kiss her belly before I come back up kissing her lips.
“Daddy…Kisses!” The boys yell.
“Yeah, daddy! We want kisses!” King joins the boys and All four attack me but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
After a bit, King runs out of breath and they settle down. Two of the boys sit on my lap while the other one sits on King and rubs her belly. King bites my shoulder lightly and I groan while we watch Paw Patrol.
“Come on, sugar, don’t play with me like that… We can’t miss Chase’s advice, he’s the leader. Be good and I promise, I’ll let you be bad all you want later.” I wink at her.
King bites her bottom lip and blushes. “I can’t wait, Sir.”
I lean in and kiss her one more time, thinking about the first time I kissed her. How different it felt, how I knew my fate was sealed. That was when I knew, I’d never let her go.
I blinded her for sure, but I also didn’t leave her hopeless. I gave her shades and promised to supply a never-ending supply of them. She’ll forever be blinded by my sun.
The End
