-Michael and William's POV-
~~Phone Call~~~
Mi: So, I was thinking that you and the boys could come over for dinner Saturday night.
W: Really?
Mi: Yes.
W: Are you going to cook or order in?
Mi: Does it matter?
W: Yes, because you're had my cooking and I want to taste yours.
Mi: You made burgers and a salad Mr, that's not cooking.
W: Well then I'll have to cook for you sometime.
Mi: That can definitely be arranged, now are you coming?
W: Are you cooking?
Mi: Yes William.
W: Then we'll absolutely be there.
Mi: Even if I was ordering in Chinese, you'd be here.
W: Maybe. (He said with a smiled even though Michael couldn't see)
They continued talking for a while longer before hanging up.
-William's POV-
M: Daddy, Jake told us that Uncle Michael invited us over for dinner.
C: Is that true?
W: Mm-hm. (He said not looking up from his work)
M: And?
W: And what? (He asked feigning ignorance)
C: Are we going, dad?
W: No.
C: But dad, you never say no when it's with Uncle Michael and Jake.
M: Yeah, we like being with them, daddy.
W: I know buddy, don't worry because we're going.
C: You need to stop doing that, dad.
W: I find it amusing to watch the two of you squirm.
M: You're mean daddy.
W: But I still love both of you.
M: We know.
William laughed sending them away so that he could finish his work.

Mathew's school was having a parents morning, where parents got to spend an hour at school just watching their child interact with their fellow classmates and the parents got to know the teacher and other parents. William was trying to make conversation with the other parents because he couldn't spend the entire hour talking only to Michael. He saw Michael pick us his phone and his face turning worried so he excused himself and went over to him.
W: What's wrong? (He asked as soon as Michael got off the phone)
Mi: That was the hospital back in my home town. My mother fell and hurt herself and Olivia is out of town with Sean. She can't be alone right now.
W: Are you going to go.
Mi: I don't know, I don't want her to be alone but I have work, Jake's in class and our dinner tomorrow.
W: Go, I'm sure they'll give you some time off, I can take care of Jake as long as it takes and excuse my language but screw our dinner. We can postpone that, your mother is more important.
