A few days later, Knox, Crew and Cash went to Izzy's house for dinner. During dinner, Izzy and Knox stood up.
"Kids, your mom and I have something we want to tell you." Knox said. The kids smiled.
"YOUR GETTING MARRIED!" They all yelled in unison. Izzy smiled.
"No but we are going to date and see where things go." She said.
"So he's gonna be our daddy?" Blake asked.
"You can call me whatever you want." Knox told them. The kids smiled and hugged Izzy and Knox.
"We love you." Izzy said smiling.
A few hours later, Izzy went into the kitchen to make dinner and Knox took the kids to the park while Braxtyn and Lily napped. When dinner was done, Izzy called Knox to bring the kids home. When they got home, Blake and Logan ran upstairs to their room and refused to come out.
"What happened to them?" Izzy asked Knox.
"I told them to keep their hands to themselves or they'd be grounded." Knox told her.
"You did what?" Izzy asked.
"They were hitting other kids. So I told them that if they didn't keep their hands to themselves they'd be grounded." Knox said.
"So your disciplining my children without discussing it with me?" Izzy asked. She was visibly upset. Knox sat down and motioned for Izzy to sit next to him.
"I'm sorry baby. I didn't mean to upset you." He told her. "I'm just trying to help. I know how hard it is being a single parent." Izzy nodded and laid her head on his shoulder.
"I love you." She told him. Knox kissed the top of her head. He smiled. How did I get so lucky? He thought.
"I love you too." Knox said. Izzy looked up at him and smiled. Knox leaned down and kissed her.
"Now let's have a talk with our kids." Izzy said. She called for the kids. Lakelyn, Addilyn, Brycen Jayna and Crew all walked into the living room and sat down on the floor. "Where are your brothers?" Lakelyn pointed to the stairs. "Blake Michael and Logan Aaron get down here now!" A few minutes later, the boys came into the living room.
"What mommy?" Logan asked. It was obvious that he'd been crying.
"Sit down." Izzy told the boys. The boys sat down on the floor. "Now, I hear that you had some problems with hitting today."
"They was being mean." Blake said.
"If they were being mean you should have told Daddy Knox." Izzy said. "We don't hit people."
"We sorry mommy." The boys said. They turned to Knox. "We sorry Daddy Knox."
"It's ok. Just remember that you can't hit people because their being mean." Knox told them. He reached for them. The boys walked over and hugged him. "I love you boys."
"We love you too Daddy Knox." They said.
"Now go play until it's time for bed." Izzy told them. The kids just sat there.
"Can we watch movies?" They asked.
"Sure." Izzy said. She grabbed the remote and turned on the TV. "What do you want to watch."
"Blue's Clues." The kids said. Izzy turned on Blue's Big City Adventure and turned the lights off.
