note: set 8 months after baby Linden was born


Dennis held a six month old Linden as he watched Ava making a bottle "and two scoops of that container" he said

Ava dumps two scoops into the bottle "why doesn't mom just feed him?" She asked

"Your mom wasn't able to get enough milk for him so she switched him to formula when she cant pump enough" Dennis said and looked down Linden "and that's perfectly fine too, because fed is best" he added

Ava went to hand Dennis the bottle just Davia cut her off

"Dennis! Come here!" Davia yelled from the bedroom

Dennis quickly passed Linden to Ava and took off down the hall

Dennis slid into the room in his socks "what? What's wrong?" He asked

Davia smiled "hi baby, do you know where my robe is, the one I ordered last week, it says Bride on the back?" She asked

Dennis sighed slowly "Dav, we gotta talk about when screaming is actually necessary" he said

Davia stared blankly at him "so...do you not know where my robe is?" She asked

"Behind the bathroom door, it was wrinkly, so I put in there when I took a shower this morning" Dennis said

Davia quickly walked into the bathroom

Dennis smiled "baby, why don't take a breather, come have breakfast with the kids and I, we can pack later" he said

Davia shook her head "we are getting married in less than 7 hours, I don't have time for a breather, we have to get to the coterie, we have to set up, pray to God that Noah hasn't spilled something on his suit by then, I gotta-" she said before Dennis cut her off

"Davia, we've been married...10 years now, hell, we've been married the day we got together as far im concerned" Dennis said and shrugged "all were doing today is signing a paper and having a party, not a big deal" he added

Davia crossed her arms "marrying me isn't a big deal?" She asked

Dennis hung his head and signed "yes it is" he said and steped towards her "You're right, it's a big deal, a happy one...but it doesn't need to be stressfull" he added

Davia looked up at him and sighed "I know...you're right" she said

Dennis cupped her cheeks "I love you, Davia Cooper" he said

"I love you too" Davia said and leaned up to peck his lips

"Uh. Mom, dad" Ava said behind them

Dennis turned around to see Ava holding Linden out at arms length

"he threw up on me...and then his diaper exploded" Ava said

Dennis cringes "sorry sweetie" he said and took the baby from her "go clean up, ill keep him" he added

Ava turned and walked away

Davia frowned "I hate asking her feed or change him, she's a kid too, she doesn't need to raise her brothers" she said

Dennis laid Linden on the bed as he started to change his diaper "she asked to feed him this time. but I agree, I was also thinking maybe after the wedding and everything we can plan a time to hang out with each kid separately, you know make sure they all know that they're loved and heard" he said

"Definitely, I love that idea" Davia said

Dennis scooped Linden up on his hip "okay, this little 6 month old is ready for a diaper size change, he's just barely squeezing into these" he said
