Play date

Jamie and asked and pleaded with Richy for his baby and Richy's baby to have a play date.

Marcus and Owen had hit it off well and finally Richy gave in wanting to give the best to Owen. So a play date was scheduled for Saturday evening at precisely 5 to 8.

"Wakey, wakey little one." Richy woke Owen up from his nap.

"Dada?" Owen yawned, rubbing his fist in his eyes.

"Yes dear, daddy's here. Got a couple of hours until Marcus and Jamie arrive." Richy picked up his baby and began changing him, "do you wanna choose your own outfit today?" Richy asked, putting Owen down on his own two feet.

He was still a bit wobbly so gripped tightly to his daddy's hand. Peering into the open wardrobe and trying to figure out which clothes he wants to wear. A big decision for a little boy like him. He had no idea what to choose.

"No know daddy!" Owen said slowly turning around.

"Oh no, well what if I give you two to pick from?" Richy asked, putting Owen on his bum and letting him suck on his paci. He picked out two different outfits.

One that was a short dungarees with a blue stripped long sleeved top and knee high blue and white socks. The other was a green skirt with braces, a light brown shirt and knee high socks.

Owen was thinking very carefully and picked the one with the dungarees. Richy nodded and changed him into the choses outfit. Then letting him play with his toys in the play pen, setting up the monitor to watch him while he sorted out food and drinks in the kitchen.

Hours later and a knock on the door spirals upstairs and Owen started to get excited. His first ever play date! And it's with Marcus. He really likes Marcus. He's nice and friendly and doesn't mind that he doesn't know a lot of things. And Jamie's nice too. Oh how he can't wait!

His daddy opened the door to his room and smiled the big smile he likes to look at. He doesn't know why his tummy gets full of butterflies when he sees it.

"Guess who's here! Come on sweetie, let's go say hello to Marcus and Jamie." Richy opened the play pen gate and held out his hand. Giggling excitingly, Owen waddled to grab his daddy's hand.

"Et go et go dada!" Owen shouted, pulling Richy behind him and trying to run to the front door.

Richy opened the door and Owen ran to hug Marcus.

"Hello there buddy. Hey Richy." Jamie chuckled and walked in bringing Richy into his own hug, not like they didn't see eachother yesterday.

"Hi, come in you two. Cold outside." Richy said and Owen agreed running back in with Marcus in toe.

"Right Owen you can go in your room and the living room, be careful and shout for us if you need something. Off you go, have fun." Richy said, smiling and nodding off the the stairs the the door going into the living room.

Owen nodded and turned to Marcus before the two set of giggling and whispering, running up the stairs.

"Owen seems more open now. Less shy. How's he doing?" Jamie asked as they walked the the kitchen, the promise of a cup of tea awaiting them.

"Still getting nightmares but less, I don't know, violent? Not as bad I guess. And yes, he's coming out of his shell alot more." Richy replied, getting to mugs down and the jar of chocolate biscuits.

"Well that's good. When Marcus had nightmares, I used to sing lullabies to him. He loved them, still does. Relaxed him and put him out like a light." Jamie said, leaning against the counter top.
