"You went overboard, didn't you?" Owen asked as he came into the gaming room later that evening and found her fast asleep in Corey's lap with the PlayStation 4 controller in her hand. He was currently racing Luke and North on switch. "How long has she been asleep? She needs to sleep tonight."

"Only about an hour," Kota said looking at his watch before going back to his book.

"And what exactly is your definition of overboard?" Luke chuckled. "If you mean get her some games for every console then yes we definitely went overboard," he smiled with pride. "But come on, did you really expect us not to? I mean she hasn't play ANYTHING Owen and she didn't even know about Dreamlight Valley or Kingdom Hearts!"

"Lower your voice Lucian," North scolded. "Baby needs her rest."

"And you know that I do not play so I entirely left that department up to you guys," Owen said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"And we took care of it," Corey nodded.

"All her games will be arriving in the next few days," Luke nodded. "She has games for every console now." He pouted for a minute, "She got overwhelmed for a bit."

"And?" Owen asked as he removed his jacket.

"You aren't shocked?" Luke asked.

"She went from having nothing to getting a switch and then you purchase her numerous games and a few consoles I suspect as well," Owen points out. "It is not surprising at all that she felt overwhelmed when she realized how serious you and Mr. Henshaw were about getting her video games." Owen started to remove his tie, "She still has a hard time accepting things from me and I have been with her for almost two years now. She feels an immense sense of guilt when I purchase things for her. She feels like she doesn't deserve anything, so no Mr. Taylor, I am not surprised one bit. Did she have a panic or anxiety attack?"

"No," Kota shook his head. "She started to but after we reassured her that you would be okay with us getting her presents and we promised not to go splurging on her anymore she calmed down."

"No splurging on her anymore?" Owen raised an eyebrow. "And how exactly did you get Mr. Coleman or Mr. Morgan to agree with this?"

"Well....you see..." Luke rubbed the back of his neck while looking away.

"You haven't told them yet?" Owen shook his head. "Good luck with that."

"Daddy?" Mia asked sleepily as she yawned and stretched.

"Did My Darling have a good nap?" He asked as he picked her up out of Corey's lap.

"Mhmm," she smiled softly as she wrapped her arms around his neck and nuzzled her face into his neck.

"Good," he said as he carried her out of the room and up to his room. He sat her down on his bed and gave her a small smirk as he slowly removed his tie while she watched him.

"We staying here tonight, Daddy?" She asked as she laid down on her side, grabbed his pillow and hugged hit while watching him as he started to unbutton his shirt.

"Yes Darling," Owen nodded as he slipped his shirt off and tossed it in the hamper. "Mr. Weiland and the Taylor brother are already making dinner."

"Can you tell me what happened with Dr. Green?" she asked as she watched him change into some grey sweatpants.

"Dr. Green will be discussing that with you," he shook his head. "Sit up, let me help you into my shirt."

She beamed as she sat up and he slid his hands under her shirt then slowly raised them up. "Daddy?" she whispered as he dropped her shirt onto the bed. She rested her hands on his shoulders as he unfastened her bra.

"Mmm?" He hummed as he slid her bra down her arms. He picked up his grey tee shirt and helped her into it, loving how she looked in his shirt.

"Have you been with them since they have been back?" she asked seriously.

He froze in shock then crouched down, so he was face to face with her. "No."

She softly gasped, "Not even when I ran?"

"No, Mia," he shook his head. "I have been faithful to you every day since you agreed to be with me." He gently pushed some hair behind her ear. "Even when you let your fear overrule you for those four dark months, I was dedicated to only you. I told you," He gently held her collar between his fingers, "you are my girl, my heart, my life."

"But you were married to them before," she whispered, "they are your family. Did you divorce each other when you divorced her?"

He sighed and kissed her nose, "that is a little more complicated. Yes, we technically, legally, divorced each other when we divorced that bitch, but we do consider ourselves still a family. We made an agreement that if one of us found a woman that we are interested in, we would be with her and our family would support the relationship, with the hope that they would be able to bring her into the family for all of us eventually."

"Like you with me," she whispered, and he nodded.

"Exactly. I didn't leave the family, but I did leave the intimacy because I knew you had no knowledge of the kind of lifestyle I live, and you were not ready for it just yet."

"Plus, they were gone on all their missions," she pointed out.

"Exactly," he nodded, "but I did tell you about them and them about you when you agreed to be mine and I gave you this ring." He kissed the ring on her left ring finger. "What is this about Mia?" he asked softly. "Are you worried about us since I kissed Mr. Ravenstahl, Mr. Henshaw, and Mr. Lee?"

"Yes," she whispered closing her eyes. "I'm trying not to listen to the voices, especially since you were honest with me about being bi and wanting me to be with them one day when I am ready," she sighed and a couple of tears slipped down her nose. "My heart tells me you would never cheat but the voices don't stop even after I look at my promise jewelry."

He pulled her into his arms and sat on the bed, making her straddle him. "I'm so sorry Darling," he spoke softly as she ran her fingers over his Darling tattoo. "I won't lie to you Mia, I would love to be with them again, I love them, but I love you also. I know your anxiety would have a hard time with you being in a poly relationship right now. That's why I watched you carefully after kissing them. I wanted to make sure you weren't showing any signs of it triggering you. Just like you looked for reassurance from me when I saw you in Mr. Ravenstahl's lap, I looked for reassurance from you. That's why we work so well together Darling. I won't do anything that will question my love for you. Thank you for being honest with me about this, Mia."

"Thank you for being honest, Daddy," She whispered as he gently lifted her chin, so she was looking at him. "I...I..." she cleared her throat, "I thought it would hurt me seeing you kiss them but..."

He smirked, "did My Darling like seeing me kiss my other loves?"

She blushed, "Yes Daddy, I really did."

"Do you think that maybe one day you would like being between me and one or two of them while we make love to one another?"

Her breath hitched as images filled her head. "MaybeIcanwatchyoubewiththemfirsttoseeifIlikeit?" she blurted out then blushed and hid her face in her hands while groaning in embarrassment.

Owen burst out laughing and kissed her head. "Oh My Darling, that won't be a problem at all," he cleared his throat and grew serious again, "but ONLY when you feel you are ready to try that and I promise you that if you are not okay with it NOONE will be upset with you about it. This is how you find out what you like and don't like. You won't know what you are okay with until you try it."

She hugged him tightly, "thank you Daddy."

He held her and kissed her hair, "you are welcome, Darling."

A knock on the door made them pull away and look at the door. "Hey," Sean smirked at them as he leaned against the frame, "Dinner is ready."
