Levi

Mom was gone, she died a month after introducing us to our dad's. They didn't want us, they made it clear they never had any intention of having kids and now they had three unwanted kids. I wiped my eyes, we had just come back from burying her, I sat down in the gazebo looking at the garden. My brother were sad but had already accepted Adrian and Trent as our dads, I guess since mom had given us to them it meant they were my dads.

I knew now that mom was gone, they will send us off to an orphanage, or make us work, or treat us badly, it was always like that. My eye hurt from too much crying, I had met my new family members, they were all nice except Luka. He was nice to my brother's but he didn't like me.

Hey, baby how are you, Dad Adrian said coming to sit next to me.

I just looked at him and wiped my tears.

Look, I know this is a big change for all of us, I'm not good with kids, me or Trent and I know it's all new but it will get better, I'll try to feel the void you have of your mom and dad, and it will be like they never left. Am I saying I'm replacing them ,no, but I'll try to be the best dad for you and your brothers. You are my kids now and I'll never let anything happen to you, Dad said.

I just smiled sadly at him.

And I'll get you help with your selective mutism, I know a great doctor, Dad said.

Look, baby, I know how, losing your parents feels like, it feels like the end of the world. I lost my parents when I was a kid, my mom got shot by her dad, and my dad got killed by the same guy who killed mom. I know family drama. He wanted me dead too, but my uncle who's now my dad and your grandpa adopted me and saved me. Levi, I know losing your parents feels like hell but trust me it gets better, especially when you have a family, I'm going to look after you and your brothers because wether I like it or not, I'm your father, you have my surname, Dad said.

He looked at me and smiled, he's smile looked a lot like Ethan's. He then pulled me to him and hugged me, it felt good, I melted into him and cried. He let me, his clothes looked expensive and I was ruining them with my tears.

We are going to be alright, Dad said stroking my head.

I pulled away.

I'm sorry I ruined your clothes I signed.

Don't worry about this, c'mon let's go to the house, your brothers and father are worried about you, Dad said smiling.

I got up. I was happy they weren't getting rid of us. I've been given a second chance at family and I hoped to use it well . Dad could understand sign language, he told me it was because he was curious in a lot of things, so he learnt it too. My mom was the only one who I could sign to, my brothers couldn't understand me.

Oh yeah, Levi, starting from tomorrow, those idiots in there are going to learn sign language, I promise you Dad said.

I looked at him and smiled genuinely.

I'll take that smile as a thank you Dad, you are my favorite parent, Dad said smiling.

I just shook my head as he laughed.

We got inside and my brother's hugged me. I looked at Father and he looked at me. I noticed he rarely smiled or jokes , and was cold but he was nice.

Now that you are done keeping my husband to yourself can I have him back, Father asked.

Trent, don't talk to him like that he's sad, Dad said.

I'm also sad, you were with him for twenty minutes, Father said.

Geez , Trent, I know you love and are possessive about your husband but getting jealous of your own kid, that's a low Uncle Kenny said. I liked him, he was funny and nice.

Trent, c'mon he's a kid, Uncle Kim said. He was nice too and a football star.

I'm just kidding,.... not.... Father said.

We heard that, oh my god, Uncle Kim said.

I smiled, I was going to love it here.

Okay, we are going to have nicknames around here, Kennedy is Ken or Kenny, Kim is Kim or kimchi, Dad said.

Fuck you, Uncle Kim said.

Hey, we have kids here, Uncle Kenny said laughing.

But you address them as uncle, Ethan, you'll be ET, you know what forget I said anything, Dad said.

Okay, kids let's go Father said.

Where, Ethan asked.

To the training room, no kid of mine is going to live without knowing how to fight Father said.

Dude, I mean cupcake they are kids, we just buried their mom, let them grieve, Dad said.

Okay for how long Father asked.

A month, Dad said.

A month, no, I'm giving them a week Father said.

I'm giving you a minute to take that back Dad said smiling.

Okay a month it is, .....Is this my life, losing my husband to kids, Father said.

Keep talking, and you will be sleeping on the couch, Dad said.

Father looked at him and sighed.

Fuck my life Father said.

What does that mean, Sam asked.

Ahh, it means..... you know what get older first then I'll tell you, Father said.

Sam, went to him and sat on his lap. I noticed him tense then relax.

Daddy I'm sleepy, Sam said.

Uhh.... sleep, Father said holding him and sighing.
