"How are they?", Antoine asked over the phone as soon as they arrived home.

"They are alright. Watching some cartoons on TV". Cael answered.

"And how is Killian? Did he say anything?"

"Not yet. He seems all normal to me. Didn't say or do anything strange".

"Thank you for taking them at the last minute".

"No problem. Are you and Cyrus alright?"

"Just worried about the kids. But we are alright", He sighed. "Tell me if anything changes. We'll get them tomorrow morning".

"Okay".

When he ended the call, he saw Killian peeking.

"Hey, little guy. Did you want to talk with your mommy, too?"

"No", he said quietly.

"He asked about you, if you're okay. Are you alright, son?"

"Yeah", he said sadly, but then gave a smile that looked fake. "Daddy, want to play with me?"

"What do you want to play?"

"Come here", and he ran to the room where his toys were already on the floor. The boy sat down and began playing with his toys.

"Baby, your mommy told me that you missed me. But is there any other reason for you to want to come here?"

"Dad, look: the dino you gave me!"

"Yes, this is the dino I gave you. Did you hear me?"

"It's my favorite dino".

The boy was consciously avoiding the topic. Cael decided that it was better to wait, let him come at the right moment and talk.

After lunch, while Cael and Nate organized the kitchen, the boys were playing in the bedroom. Cael went to give them dessert when he heard Killian whispering to Collin.

"Daddy won't need us".

"He won't?"

"He won't be our daddy anymore".

"Why?"

At this moment, Killian noticed Cael on the door with chocolate cake.

"Chocolate!", Killian screamed, excited.

Cael was in a daze for a few seconds, and didn't realize when the boys came running toward him to get the cake.

"Calm down", he said as the two little beasts almost jumped on him to get the dessert. "Here, have some chocolate".

"Yay", the two celebrated.

"Come to the living room to eat, so you won't leave crumbles on the bedroom".

"Okay, dad", Killian said, smiling.

The boys sat down to eat, and Cael called Nate to talk.

"What's up?", Nate asked, drying his hands.

"I heard something when I went to the bedroom". He said whispering. "I don't know how to say this... The kids, especially Killian, think they are going to lose his other dad after the babies are born".

"They said so?"

"Yes. Killian did. I don't know what to do. Should I do something?"

"I don't know. Maybe this is something for Antoine and Cyrus to solve. Even if you talk to the kids right now, it won't have much effect. They need to talk to them and deal with it".
