Venice's screams, laughter and giggles echoed throughout the house. The baby was over the moon, his papa Pete would spend the night at home and papa Vegas promised him he would sleep with them, in papa's bed, he had to tell all his friends and the house staff that.
But along with Venice's screams, you could hear Pete, "Venice, honey, be careful, you might fall", and Vegas, "Venice, my son, I don't want to spend another night in the hospital, be careful my love", Aunt Rose, "Venice, little prince, slow down", and all the bodyguards, until a bang was heard as Venice, in his excitement, slammed into a glass door. There was silence, everyone waiting for the little boy to cry, but he just stood up, looked at his papa Pete, "Pa Pete sleep Ven" and kept running and jumping for joy.

Vegas and Pete looked at their son in amusement, "Your son won't let us sleep tonight, Vegas," Vegas chuckled, he walked up to Pete and hugged him from behind, his hands wrapped around Pete's waist, he rested his head on Pete's shoulder, "I think you should come live with us, love. Venice will be quieter," Pete leaned back into Vegas's warmth, "You're using our son to ask me to move in with you, Vegas?" he smiled, "Only if it works."

The bath time didn't get any better... Venice's bath turned into a bath with Venice and his parents. "We're lucky you put an excessively large bathtub in Venice bathroom, Vegas", "I know love... Maybe you should think about moving it here with us, we can have more baths like this with our son, and the bath in our bedroom is big too... " Vegas winked at Pete, who rolled his eyes, "Very convenient," he said sarcastically.

Vegas looked at Venice, he couldn't believe his eyes... There he was, the fussy little baby, eating everything Pete put on his plate, not complaining or spitting out the food. Looking up at his father with hearts in his eyes, as Pete praised him, telling him how well he ate and how proud he was of him. Pete scowled at him, "What's wrong Vegas?", "Pete, you should move in with us, since he's started eating food at dinner too, Venice has never eaten it all or been so quiet." Pete let out a chuckle and rolled his eyes at Vegas.

They were already on the fourth book and Venice still couldn't fall asleep, "Venice honey, we can't read anymore, we have to sleep", Venice pouted, "Ven not sleep", "But Venice, it's too late, please, honey", Pete was desperate, it was almost 12 o'clock at night, Venice needed to sleep, and neither he nor Vegas could get him to sleep.
"Venice, why don't you want to sleep," Vegas asked caressing the little boy's cheek, "Pa Pete go away," the little boy said with another pout, Pete gasped, his heart broke listening to his son's fear, it was because of him. Vegas sensed the path Pete's mind was taking, and tried to cut it off as soon as possible, he wasn't going to let Pete keep blaming himself, it was time to show their son that they weren't going to fail him again, that they weren't going to abandon him, that they were his parents and he was the most important thing in the world to them. "Venice, my love, look at papa," Vegas said settling Venice on his chest then hugging Pete too, "Venice, papa Pete isn't going to leave, he's not going to leave you or me, my love. Papa and I love you more than anything in the world, we couldn't wish for a better or more special son than you, my love, and we want to spend all our time with you," Venice snuggled up against his parents, his favorite thing in the world besides being with his dads, was when his dads told him they loved him and that he was a good boy "You don't have to be afraid, my son, when you wake up in the morning, you will see us next to you and you can wake us up. No one is going to leave you. Do you trust papa Vegas?", Venice nodded, of course he trusted his papa Vegas. Vegas smiled at him and kissed his head and forehead. Venice looked at Pete, there were tears on his papa's cheeks, Venice didn't like that, so he used his little hand to wipe the tears away, Pete grabbed his hand lovingly and hugged his little boy, leaving kisses that made Venice giggled. Vegas joined in the hug and Venice sighed. It was the best day of his life, the best part was that he was in bed cuddled up to his two dads. "Ven love papas," they hugged him tighter and left more kisses on Venice's little head.
After a few minutes Venice started yawning, Vegas and Pete smiled and settled him down until he finally fell asleep.
