A Father's Love

A Grave Encounter

I do not own KDA or anything referenced.

-Grey POV-

I pull into the driveway as I see my kids outside playing with Akali. I park and smile as I hop out of my truck. "Papa! You're home!" They yell and run up to hug me tightly.

"Hey Kiddos." I say and hug them both tightly. "Did you two have fun with the girls?" I ask and they nod enthusiastically.

"Yeah! Miss Akali taught us how to make paper stars! Then Miss Kai'sa taught us how to make homemade bread! Miss Ahri helped us with reading! Then Mama Evelynn took a nap with us.

"Mama Evelynn?" I ask and look to her blushing face.

"Yeah! She made sure we didn't have nightmares and protected us while you were gone!" They say and go to hug Evelynn along with the other Members of KDA. "Can they be our Mamas?!" They ask and I swear my brain short circuits.

"Liliana, Zane." I say and think of how to explain to them that can't happen.

"But you said a Mama is someone who nurtures and cares for us when you can't! So they should be out Mama!" Liliana says and stomps her foot at me.

"Liliana. Don't you raise your voice at me." I say sternly and she clenches her fists.

"No! How can't you see they are everything you said a Mama should be!? They care for you too!" She yells and I sigh softly.

"Come here Honey." I say and she walks up to me. I grab her little hands and smile. "Your real Mama hurt your Papa really bad. It's hard for me to accept any type of love. You and your brother are all I had when times were tough." I say and fix her hair gently. "These women are way out of your Papa's league. They can have someone so much better than me." I say and she looks extremely upset.

"Don't say that Papa! You're the best!" Liliana yells and pokes my chest. "Say it!" She demands and I smile.

"I'm the best." I say and she crosses her arms.

"Louder." Evelynn says making Zane nod quickly.

"I'm the best!" I cheer and my kids hug me again. "Thanks Kiddos." I say and kiss their heads gently. "Your Mama came by the shop." I say and they point to KDA.

"Those are our Mamas." They say and I look at KDA as they come and hug my kids.

"Oh I'm so happy you see me as a Mama!" Akali cheers happily. I sigh softly as Ahri and Evelynn stand beside me.

"I'm sorry about this." I begin and Ahri shakes her head.

"No. We're grateful you've given us this peacefulness. I brought it to the girls attention that we should ask you on a date. Just one at a time so you can get used to us." Ahri says and I smile. "But we are going to be performing in a few weeks." She says which makes me frown.

"The kids will miss you girls." I say and she looks conflicted. "I uh...will miss you girls." I say quietly as I look up at the clouds.

"We'll miss you too Grey. But as soon as we are done. We'll be back to be with you." Evelynn says making me blush. "Ready to go see your Dad?" She asks and I take a shaky breath.

"Yeah." I say and Ahri looks at us. "My Dad passed away. So now I'm leaving to go to his grave and to deal with my Mother." I say.

"Deal with your Mother?" She asks and Evelynn scratches my right ear.

"Grey. Go shower and get dressed. I'll explain everything." She coos making me nod and walk into the house.
