--

Christopher and Nicolas couldn't help but grin at each other, their faces alight with amusement and affection as they watched Y/N play with her toys.

"You know, she really is like a mini Matt," Christopher chuckled softly to Nicolas, careful not to disturb Y/N's concentration as she arranged her toy blocks.

Nicolas nodded, a warm glow of pride in his eyes. "Yeah, she's got his determination and that same stubborn streak."

Y/N looked up from her toys, sensing their attention. "What's mini Matt?" she asked, her curiosity piqued.

Christopher scooped her up into his arms, planting a kiss on her cheek. "You are, Y/N! You're just like your Dada."

Y/N giggled, enjoying the attention. "Like Dada?" she repeated, her blue eyes wide with wonder.

Nicolas joined in, tousling her hair affectionately. "Absolutely. You've got his blue eyes, his love for adventure, and his big heart."

Y/N beamed at the praise, feeling a sense of pride in being compared to her father. "I love Dada," she declared, wrapping her arms around Christopher's neck.

Matthew, overhearing the conversation from across the room, couldn't help but smile fondly at the scene. He walked over and knelt beside Y/N and his brothers, his heart swelling with love for his daughter.

"You know, Y/N," Matthew began, brushing a strand of hair from her face, "being compared to me is a big compliment. You're growing up to be such an amazing person."

Y/N snuggled closer to him, her toy forgotten for the moment. "Dada," she whispered, her voice filled with love and admiration.

Matthew hugged her tightly, feeling a surge of emotion. "And you're my little mini-me," he whispered back.

The brothers shared a moment of quiet happiness, grateful for the bond they shared and the joy Y/N brought into their lives. As they continued to play and laugh together, Matthew couldn't help but feel lucky to have such a loving family.

As night fell and Y/N drifted off to sleep, Matthew tucked her in once again, whispering, "Sweet dreams, sweetheart. I love you."

Y/N, already half-asleep, mumbled back, "Love you too, Dada."

With a contented sigh, Matthew stood up and joined Christopher and Nicolas, who were already planning their next adventure with Y/N. Parenthood was full of surprises and challenges, but moments like these made it all worthwhile. Together, they knew they could handle anything that came their way, with Y/N by their side, their little mini-Matt in the making.

After the sandcastle incident had settled and Y/N had helped rebuild with the other girl, she sat quietly by herself, her tiny shoulders shaking with sobs. Matthew noticed her distress and knelt down beside her, concern etching his features.

"Hey, sweetheart, what's wrong?" he asked softly, gently brushing a tear from her cheek.

Y/N sniffled, her blue eyes filled with sadness. "I-I worked so hard on my sandcastle, Dada," she whimpered, her voice quivering with emotion.

Matthew wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into a comforting embrace. "I know, honey," he murmured soothingly. "You put a lot of effort into it."

Y/N buried her face in his shoulder, her tears dampening his shirt. "It's not fair," she mumbled, her voice muffled against his chest.

Matthew held her close, rubbing her back in comforting circles. "Sometimes things don't go the way we want them to," he explained gently. "But what matters is that you tried your best, and you showed kindness by helping your friend rebuild her castle."

Y/N nodded, her sobs gradually subsiding. "Okay, Dada," she whispered, her voice still shaky.

Christopher and Nicolas, sensing the need for a distraction, approached with gentle smiles. Christopher offered a seashell he had found earlier. "Hey, Y/N, look what I found. Maybe we can use it to decorate a new sandcastle?"

Y/N looked up, her tear-stained face brightening at the sight of the seashell. "Yeah!" she exclaimed softly, taking the shell from Christopher's hand.

Nicolas joined in, picking up a bucket and shovel. "Let's make an even better castle this time," he suggested cheerfully.

With their encouragement, Y/N wiped her tears away and nodded enthusiastically. Together, they set to work, building a new sandcastle adorned with shells, seaweed, and tiny pebbles. Y/N's smile slowly returned as she focused on the creative process, her earlier sadness fading into determination.

Matthew watched proudly as his daughter regained her joy, her resilience shining through even in moments of disappointment. Parenthood, he realized once again, was about guiding Y/N through both the triumphs and challenges of growing up, helping her learn and grow from each experience.

As the sun began to set over the beach, casting a golden glow across the sand, Y/N proudly admired their new creation. She turned to Matthew, her eyes sparkling with gratitude and love. "Thank you, Dada," she said softly, wrapping her arms around his neck.

Matthew hugged her tightly, pressing a kiss to her forehead. "Anytime, sweetheart," he whispered, his heart overflowing with love for his daughter and the bond they shared.

Together, they watched the waves lapping gently at the shore, content in each other's company and the simple joy of building memories together on the beach.
