“Fuck yeah, I will.” I nod, and we all laugh.

Turning my focus to my jewel, I grasp her hands in mine. “Is this something you want? I don’t mind waiting for as long as you need, Jewel. I’m with you guys for the long haul and we don’t need to rush anything.” I search her face as she looks between Pete and I, and see him give her an encouraging nod in my peripheral vision.

“I’d like that,” she whispers.

I give her a smile. “Alright then. Let’s call in for some dinner. I want to play with my Littles for a bit tonight.” I wink at them, and they both giggle.

“Did you know Jules was a good Mommy?” Pete asks, his voice taking on a more childlike and carefree tone than a moment ago.

“She is, is she?” I smile. “I think Jewel would be a wonderful Mommy. Especially when Daddy needs to go away on business trips.” I boop both of their noses, and their laughter fills my ears, settling inside me.

“Thanks, Daddy. I’ll be your good girl, I promise!” She nods her head so hard I feel like she’ll give herself whiplash, but I don’t say anything.

“You are my good girl. And Peter is my good little buddy, right?” I tease, and he nods from the bed, sitting back up.

“Okay. Grab our toys and meet Daddy in the living room. I just need to change out of this stuffy suit.” I wink before kissing them both on the head, and heading to the closet to change before ordering dinner.

“Daddy?” Jewel calls to me as I watch them play.

“Yeah, little jewel?” I ask, smiling at how young and carefree she looks. They both do.

“I forgot Jingle and Bell in the bedroom.” She pouts, but I don’t move to get them for her.

“Well, that sucks, huh?” I say, and she huffs out a breath. She looks like she’s close to stomping her foot at me.

“Well…aren’t you going to go get them for me?” she asks, her voice whiny, and I shrug.

“That depends. Are you going to ask me nicely? Or are you going to end up with a warm bottom before bed?” I question, and she gasps while Pete giggles from the floor.

“Uh-oh, yous in trouble,” he taunts, but promptly closes his mouth when I give him a stern look.

“I did ask.” She throws her arms in the air.

“No, you demanded,” I explain. “Well, actually you more just expected that I would grab it for you without your having to ask.”

She scowls at me. “I wouldn’t! Not me, Daddy. That’s bratty behaviour and I’m a good girl.” Her hands move to her hips, and I want to smile at how fucking adorable she is.

“Come sit on the couch with me a moment. I want you guys to meet someone.” I move to the middle of the couch as they both hurry over to sit on either side of me, curling into my sides.

I feel so fucking complete when they’re with me like this.

Pulling out my phone, I video call Landon. He said that Cameron was down for a nap so it’s the perfect time, and I want them to meet my sister. I’m also hoping it will distract Jewel from her brooding temper tantrum.

“Hey!” Lilly’s chipper voice is the first thing to greet me, and I hear Landon grunt in the background.

“Lilly girl,” he says to her, and her eyes go comically wide. God, she still looks so innocent.

“Yes?” she asks him, taunting, and I chuckle.

“Did I give you permission to answer my phone?” he asks her, and she just sticks her tongue out at him. I see him shaking his head as he steps up behind her. “Hey.” He nods at me.

“Hey, man.” I nod my head in greeting. “I see she’s being a brat again?” I look at my sister who narrows her eyes.

“Don’t start, you two,” Landon warns us both, and Lilly sighs.
