I'm hanging with Devine on the couch.  We're at my house and the kids are sleeping. "You tell your kids you were moving in?"

"Yeah and they were excited. They love you."

"I love you guys and I think my kids are getting there."

"I guess. But they're starting to like me but when we introduce the baby would that change?"

"I forgot they don't know about the baby. We need to tell them soon."

"I don't want to rush it. But we do need to tell them."

"Yeah." I kissed her cheek. "River has calmed down."

"Yeah. I guess. He's still living here so of course.'

"Have you talked to Layla lately?"

"No. It's crazy that she's not around because she was always around with Curtis and when we met."

"Yeah. I remember." I get up. "You want something from the kitchen?"

"Um. Do you have cookies?"

"You ate those."

"I did? Really? Well do you have goldfish?"

"You ate those."

"Cheezits?"

"Ate em."

"What? Gummies?"

"I wonder what happened to those.x

"I ate them?"

"Yes."

"Fuck. Do you have any snacks?"

"I have..." I look in the cabinets. "Popcorn. You want that?"

"I guess...do you have pickles?"

"I think why?"

"I think they'll taste good together."

"You serious?"

"Deadass."

"Alright." I put the popcorn in the microwave and cut up some pickles. I don't understand this. I put the popcorn on the plate and brought it to her. I just came in here for a beer. I sat down. I watch her eat it. "How is it?x

"It's so good. Wanna try?"

"I don't think so."

"It's not even that bad. Don't be a baby."

"Says the one carrying one."

"Whatever."

"When you going to bed?"

"Probably soon. What about you?"

"This beer is probably gonna knock me out so after this."

"I'm drinking right after I recover. I need at least one drink a month."

"I think you would need it."

"Yeah."

I'm getting bigger so I think it's time to tell his kids. He's at work and everyone's at school so I'm alone with Joshua who decided to sleep while we were having a conversation. The door opened. I see river and I sat up. "Why are you home?"

"Not at my own house?"

"You're supposed to be in school." A girl came in. "Who is that?"

"Hi."

"Hi sweetie." She's cute. "So who is she?"

"None of your business."

"I'll let your dad handle it when I text him.".
"Whatever." He took her upstairs. She's pretty. I text Dallas and laid back down. We stay with them now. Dallas is getting a bigger house soon cause everyone can't fit well his kids still have their own rooms but my kids are all in one room. The girls don't want to share anymore which was weird for me cause they've always shared but I guess they're getting older so I need to stop trying to make them babies still. Maybe I should go up and see what they're doing. I go upstairs. I push open the door. I'm just gonna peek.
Is that like his girlfriend? I hope they don't do anything more than kissing. Three kids before twenty eight I definitely hope so. I would never want any of my kids to go through that. I think Dallas is here. Wow he got here fast. I went down and opened the door. "Hey gorgeous." He kissed my forehead. "Where's River?"
