OK! I'm back! Sadly no one has commented on Charlie's mother's name ( PLS DO! ) Also !IMPORTANT PLS READ! Chai now looks 9 not like an adult or teen. Anyway, on with the story!

Mike P.O.V: I was currently making my family, aka just Chai and Enn ;cause they are the only ones who could eat, when my daughter came in. I had recently enrolled her in a new preschool and she really liked it. Unfortunately, I knew we would have to move again soon due to my job. " Daddy! Daddy! Today I was talking with Logan, you know, the boy from Mr.Reels class! And he said his grandparents were coming to visit! And I didn't know what those were so I asked him but he just looked at me weirdly and told me they were your parent's parents! He also told me everyone had them! But I know we are different, so do I have grandparents? "

I froze. And the dish I was holding dropped and smashed on the floor. Noah came running in, worriedly. " Eggs! I heard I crash! Are you ok!? " He looked at the mess at me and Julia's feet. Soon Chai came walking in. He took one look at the floor and dragged Julia out by the hand, leading her away from the shards of glass. " Oh you just dropped a bowl. Phew, I thought you had hurt yourself or something! You are ok, right? '' Noah asked me. But I just stood there, unmoving, my hands still in the position before I had dropped the bowl, eyes wide and silent. " Eggs? Baby? Mike!? Michael!? '' Ennard's voice broke me out of my trance. " Huh? '' I said, stupidly. '' Baby, you weren't answering, I got worried. Are you ok? " Noah's concerned voice reached my ears. " I-I'm f-fine. " I shakely told him. " No, no you aren't. Eggs you are not usually clumsy and you don't normally space out like that. Not to mention you were stuttering. So tell me, please, what's wrong? " Noah begged. I looked into his worried, sad, desperate, eyes. I broke at the sight. '' Fine, Julia asked if she had grandparents or not. " Noah sat there, silent. I started to talk again, " I mean, she shouldn't have to ask or wonder about that! Does she have grandparents or not? Of course she does! Every other kid gets to meet, hang out, and play with their grandparents, but not Julia... not her because I am too scared to face them! She deserves better! " By that point I was in tears. Noah got up and walked over to me, careful to avoid the glass shards, and sat on my lap while he hugged me. We spent a good 5 minutes like that, me and him hugging while I cried out my frustration into his shoulder. Finally my tears came down to a drizzle and my cries became sniffles. " Come on Eggs, let's clean this up so someone doesn't hurt themselves and just order something online. We can talk about what to do later, ok? " I nodded. We spent the rest of the night after Chai and Julia went to bed cuddling and watching movies.

Le Time Skip to the Morning

Ennard/Noah P.O.V: I wanted to talk with Eggs about what happened last night but it turns out Mike got a last minute job and had to leave in a hurry in the morning, leaving me to make breakfast for me and Chai and get the two to school. Eventually I got home after dropping the kids off at school 5 minutes late, buying groceries, checking on SL, and missing lunch in the process! I didn't know how Mikey managed a full time job and all the rest of this crap. That's why I love him. He always manages to amaze no matter how long we have been together and he is a super parent. After all that I lightly cleaned the house and made myself a snack. I decided to make Michael feel better after what happened last night and went out and bought him some red roses.

Another time skip

I had just picked the kids up from school, 5 minutes late again, and they were now playing up in their room with Julia's Plushes. I heard the door unlock and my beautiful husband came walking through, white shirt sleeves rolled up past his elbows, messy dark brown hair fading into a violet purple, eyes also purple and mixed in was a bit of blue, his black jeans were ripped, and his handsome face had a satisfied smile on it, letting me know that the job had gone well and according to plan. I got up and greeted him by kissing his cheek. He turned my way and kissed me on my lips. I went to the kitchen and brought out the roses, " Aw babe, you didn't have too. " Mike said. " Well I wanted to. " I said back, and kissed him sweetly on the lips again.

Later that night after the kids went to bed I decided it was time to talk about what I had been meaning to ask Mike all day. Michael was sitting at the table on his phone, scrolling through the internet. I sat in front of him and pushed the screen down, away from his face. He looked up at my serious face and immediately turned his phone off and set it down beside him. " Whats up, honey? " He asked curiously. " We need to talk about last night. " His expression hardened. " What about it? " " Mike, I-I think we should at least think about reconnecting with your family. We don't have to make this decision here or now and I think we should take some time to think about it. We need to consider Chai and Julia first. Both of them need more human interaction. I can tell they are affected by moving constantly and having to leave their friends every time. They have just stopped trying to make friends because they know they will have to leave them. This isn't just because of your job, so don't blame yourself. We know your family is dead and in a similar situation as us, it would benefit them to be around more family and people like them. On the other hand I don't want you to feel forced into this because you feel that they need this and your feelings don't matter, because they do. I also don't want there to be any possibility of the kids or you getting hurt in any way, whether it be physically or mently. This also might benefit them. We both know your dad doesn't love your mother romantically and we could help him find someone and possibly help his mental state. Not to mention father/son bonding. Chai is a nightmare, not a kid, and we have to remember that so he needs contact with more nightmares. Chris's would be perfect for this kind of interaction he needs. Liz has never had a sister so Julia could fill that whole. They could play dress up, or play with dolls, or-or whatever else young girls do! Me, you, and Chai are all males and it would be good if she got some girl time. Clara, as you know, has always wanted grandchildren. If we introduce her to Chai and Julia she will be thrilled! Just... please take these ideas into consideration. In the end this up to you, its your family, your choice. Just know I am here to give you ideas, help, and support no matter what you choose. " ( That was long... ) We sat there for what seemed like hours, but was actually probably only 30 minutes, staring at the table. Finally, I looked up and was about to say something when I noticed Eggs had fallen asleep. I smiled softly and carried him bridle style back to our room, carefully placing him on our bed and crawling up next to him, pulling him into my arms. As I drifted to sleep I wondered what it would be like if Mikey agreed...

... And done! Finally! It's past 9:00 pm and I am tired. Pls remember to comment your ideas for Charlie's mom's name and anything else! Your comments make my day! Have a nice day/night! :<
