Love Times Three

Invitation

Dallas felt a small tap and opened an eye. Kinsley Rose stared at him with a wide smile on her face. Dallas couldn't believe Kinsley had left Madere's and went to their place until he felt a soft hand on his stomach. Dallas turned to see Lily lightly snoring and Asher looking at Austin on the other end. "Are you and Mama and Daddy in love now?" Kinsley asked causing Dallas' eyes to widen. Dallas began tapping Lily who groaned at him.

"Princess, your daughter has a question." Dallas said anxiously. Lily sighed before opening her eyes wide. "What are you two doing in my room?" Asher rubbed the back of his head. "I honestly don't remember." Austin giggled. "Maybe Madere carried you like you carry us." Lily guffawed at the visual. "Yeah, maybe, bubs." Lily looked at Kinsley. "What is it, baby girl?" Lily could see the red head was filled with excitement as she began running in a circle.

"We're a family! Papa and Daddy love Mama! We are going to live together now!" The eyes of the adults all widened. "Kinsley, baby, come here." Lily said causing the child to walk over to her. "Daddy and Papa have their own house. They're not moving here." Kinsley looked at Dallas and Asher with sad eyes. "Do you not love Mama?" She asked them and Asher sighed loudly before pulling her into his lap.

"Daddy and Papa love your Mama more than anything in this world, Kinsley. We really do, but a lot has happened. It hasn't changed how we feel about Mama, but it has changed the way she feels about us and we understand that." Kinsley looked at Lily and saw the tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry, Mama." Kinsley said as she climbed into her lap and wiped her rogue tears. "You have nothing to be sorry for, baby. You two want some breakfast?" Austin nodded his head always ready to eat.

Lily looked at Asher and Dallas before getting out of bed still dressed in her clothes from yesterday. The guys watched her leave with the kids before sighing. "I feel like I'm breaking their hearts too." Dallas whispered causing Asher to rub his back. "We'll figure this out. Our kids want us to be a family. We want to be a family. We just need Lily to see that we'd be good together and make her want us to be a family as well." Asher kissed Dallas deeply before they made their way into the kitchen.

The guys opted for a Daddy Day so Lily could focus on work and her interview. She thanked them and hurried off to get dressed. Asher and Dallas were so happy that the children's museum kept the twins plenty occupied. They were worried Kinsley would be ready for another round of questions, but she wasn't. She explored the current exhibit with her twin brother happily. "I hope the interview is going well." Asher said nervously. "It'll be fine. Lily is the smartest person we know." Asher nodded.

"Her points were so valid. I don't think my father is a racist by any means, but he could stand to have his eyes opened a bit wider to the social issues going on. I just want her to make a difference. I want this company to be something our children can be proud of." Dallas nodded his head before pecking his lips. They looked at the kids right as a little boy pushed Kinsley. "What the fuck?" Dallas said as he marched over there. Asher scooped Austin up before he punched the boy.

"I'm so sorry." The boy's father said timidly as he grabbed him. "Is there a reason you pushed my daughter?" Dallas asked menacingly. The boy seemed afraid, but Dallas didn't care as he held Kinsley close. "I-I told her I liked her and she said 'Eww' so I pushed her." He stammered causing Asher to chuckle. "When a girl doesn't like you back that doesn't give you permission to hurt her. Apologize." His father scolded. "S-Sorry." The boy pouted causing Kinsley to stick her tongue out.

"Be nice Kinsley Rose." Asher said sternly causing her to pout. "What's your name?" Austin asked the boy with a glare. "V-Vinny." Austin nodded his head. "Sorry about that." Vinny's father said again before leaving. "Why did you want to know his name, Aussie?" Kinsley asked her brother. "So I can beat him up later." Dallas knew that glare and knew his son was beyond serious and laughed. "Time for lunch?" The twins nodded as the guys headed for the exit.
