"Papas kiss" said Venice laughing.

Both men got shocked hearing him. Pete cleared his throat, "Why is this little boy awake again? Are you in pain, my love?" he asked, living a kiss on Venice's head. Venice giggled happy "No pain, Ven kiss too papa" said the kid kissing Pete. Vegas was still in shock for kissing Pete's lips, well, technically it wasn't a kiss, but he still could sense his touch, what that meant, it was a good sing, right? Pete was starting to forgive him, or at least, he wanted to try it again, otherwise he wouldn't kiss him. Or maybe he just felt sorry for him, but that wouldn't explain the date... Vegas was totally lost, so lost that he wasn't paying attention to Pete and Venice.
Pete could feel Vegas's tension, he shouldn't kiss him, but he couldn't avoid it, if he was honest with himself he wanted to kiss him since he made a place for him in the bed.
"Pa Vegas kiss Ven" Venice said. But Vegas didn't hear him, the boy frowned and looked at Pete, who laughed at the sight of his son. "You should try again Venice, papa Vegas is in another world right now" he laughed. Venice's eyes widened, his papa was there why pa Pete said that? So he moved until his hand reached Vegas' cheek and said, "Pa Vegas up" he had to do it three times accompanying it with little taps on the cheek until Vegas reacted, Pete was laughing. "What?" said Vegas looking at Venice's frown and Pete's smile. "Ven kiss pa Vegas" he said pouting. "Oh sorry babe" said Vegas kissing Venice "Looks like you're back" said Pete teasing Vegas who blushed. Vegas pretended to ignore Pete's comment and started talking to Venice. "Are you ok Venice, do you need anything?" "Kiss" said Venice, Vegas smiled and kissed him, "Do you want anything else my love?". Venice yawned, "Sleep pa Vegas and pa Pete," they laughed at Venice's request.
"Let's all three of us sleep," Pete said, "But you can't wake up until tomorrow Venice, you need plenty of rest. Are you sure you're not in pain?" Venice nodded and yawned again. Vegas stroked his head and said, "Sleep now my little Venice, papa Pete and papa Vegas will take care of you" he said leaving a kiss on the top of his head. Venice gave him a kiss and then another kiss to Pete, he looked at his papas and said "Kiss papas" they both kissed him again but he pouted, "Not kiss Ven, kiss papas" "Venice, we kissed you already, why are you pouting?". Pete said, "Kiss papas" Venice said his pout even bigger when Pete kissed him and Vegas laughed, he leaned over and left a kiss on Pete's cheek, and Venice giggled and nodded "Pa Pete kiss" he said, and Pete rolled his eyes and kissed Vegas's cheek. Venice giggled again, yawned and closed his eyes as he settled himself with part of his body on Pete and part on Vegas.
They both chuckled, Vegas was about to say something when Pete said, "Sleep Vegas and don't say anything" Vegas was surprised, "But, I wasn't going to say anything," Pete rolled his eyes "Sure..." Vegas smirked, and carefully settled back resting his head on Pete.

The morning found Pete awake thinking about what Vegas had said in the night and where they were now. They could have had this before but, if he was honest, they would never have experienced a moment like this, with the three of them in a bed cuddling, because Vegas didn't want to spend time with Venice and he didn't want to force Vegas to, so the reality was that this was a whole new moment for them, and Pete loved it, his chest had a warmth to it that he didn't think he would ever feel again, let alone Vegas being the one to make him feel it. Unconsciously he began to stroke Vegas's head, running his fingers through the strands of hair, it felt so good to be like this, just the three of them, together as a family.

Vegas woke up too but tried not to move, it had been so long since he had felt Pete's caresses that he didn't want this moment to ever end. He opened his eyes and saw Venice sleeping, his happy face pulled at his heart. After all these days he couldn't imagine waking up cuddling with two of the people he loved the most. He would give anything for that moment to never end, to have the freedom to hold Pete all the time. But he knew he had little time left, as soon as Venice woke up or the doctors came in, his little world would go back to where it was. So he made a decision, he had asked Pete for a chance to start a new story, and that's what he would do. "Are you free today?" he asked. Pete stopped his hand and Vegas feared he was regretting last night's conversation. After a few seconds, Pete continued to stroke Vegas' head and Vegas sighed releasing all the air he didn't know he was holding. "Yeah, I don't know if we can still go to the beach like we had talked about, it will depend on what the doctor in Venice says, but yeah, I'm free" Pete said in a soft voice, he couldn't deny that he had been surprised that Vegas was awake. "Good, I want to take you to the place I had planned, even if it's near the beach it's safe for Venice, and it's about time I show you something I should have shown you months ago" Vegas said bringing his hand up to the one Pete had on Venice's back, and caressing it gently. Pete frowned, he was about to ask but a knock on the door broke the moment.
