Four years later

"Solani you hit him one more time and that's your ass!" I stare at my three year old daughter who instantly puts her fist down. She pouts up at me but I only stare at her, shaking my head in disappointment.

Always fucking fighting

"Get your fighting ass over here" I tell her and she stumbles over to me with her head down. I look over at my two year old son, Darius, who sat in the grass, playing with himself without a care in the world.

"You alright D?" I pick him up and hold him in my arms before turning to Solani. "You will apologize to your brother then you getting your fighting tail in that house."

Solani just glared at her little brother, ignoring my words. "Solani Precious Lovett apologize to your brother now!" I snap causing her to instantly lose the glare.

"I'm sorry D" She mumbles not even looking at him. Darius doesn't reply to her only plays with my braids, finding them the most interesting thing ever at the moment.

"Get inside." I tell my daughter before I follow her inside with a sigh. I walk into the kitchen only to find my beautiful wife humming a song as she plays with our fourteen month old baby girl Desiree. Parker sat on the kitchen counter with a smile on his face as he watched his mom and baby sister laugh with each other.

Maeve and I ended up deciding that we did want to have kids of our own. Maeve at first did not want to carry our child so I carried Solani and Darius while she married Desiree.

I didn't realize how much went into getting a sperm donor. Maeve and I decided after Desiree we were done with sperm donors so we ended up adopting our son Parker, who is five years old, about three months ago.

His birth mother ended up passing away from stage four cancer about a year before he was brought to us. She was all Parker had so he was instantly put into the foster system. His father didn't want anything to do with him, only worrying about his next fix.

Parker came to us about a year ago when Maeve was pregnant with Desiree. He was distant with us at first but instantly warmed up to Lani and Darius. He is a great big brother to his younger siblings especially Desiree. He adores Desiree and always is making sure she's okay. She loves him as well. He is obviously her favorite out of all of us.

When Des was first born, Parker refused to sleep in his room. He decided to sleep in the crib with her and that lasted almost three months. It got to the point that we moved Parker's bed into the nursery because we didn't want him sleeping in her crib.

It was adorable don't get me wrong but no.

We ended up officially adopting Parker on his fifth birthday. He was so happy. He kept calling us his mama and mommy throughout the day just enjoying the fact that he could say his.

"Hey baby. Sorry I didn't see you" Maeve says as she turns around to see me standing a few feet away. I smile at her and walk over to peck her lips.

"Our daughter decided that today was the day to hit her brother again." I mumble as I look over at Solani who was bothering Parker.

Maeve sighs heavily and shakes her head. "She gets this shit from you." She mumbles taking Darius from my arms.

"She ain't get shit from me. I ain't fight no body." Maeve gives a let's be for real look making me frown. "When was I fighting?" I ask her making her chuckle.
