~2 Months Later~
It was two months after Michael and Jake moved in and everyone was settling into their new lives very well.
~Wednesday~
It was Mathew's sixth birthday today. They weren't having a party because it was in the middle of the week plus Mathew didn't want one. They were however going to go out for a special birthday dinner at Mathew's favourite restaurant.
W: Happy sixth birthday baby boy. (He said picking Mathew up when he came into the kitchen)
M: Thank you daddy but I'm not a baby anymore.
Mi: Yeah tell him big boy. Come here. (He said holding out his arms)
W: You're stealing my son. (He said as Mathew went over to Michael)
Mi: Happy birthday hey, I hope you enjoy yourself to the fullest today okay.
M: Mm-hm.
J: So what are we doing for Matty's birthday?
W: Eat breakfast and go to school for one.
C: Dad! We mean after school.
Mi: I'm going to pick you up after school and then we are going to come back here. When William gets back we're going to give Matty his gifts and then we'll go out for dinner.
M: Are you going to come home late, daddy?
W: No bud, I'm coming home at four.
M: Okay.
J: Can we have breakfast now?
Mi: Sure come sit down.
All three boys rallied around the kitchen counter for breakfast and Michael noticed the brief forlorn look in his partner's eyes. William sighed and moved in to have breakfast with the rest. When they were done, Michael drove to school with Mathew while William drove with Jake and Connor because their school was on the way to his work.
~After School~
-Michael's POV-
Mi: Okay boys, I'm going to make us some grilled cheese sandwiches.
J: Yes!
M: I can't wait for dad to come home.
Mi: Matty, can I ask you a question?
M: Mm-hm.
Mi: Why didn't you want a party today?
M: Dad is always sad on my birthday.
Mi: Oh, I remember, I'm so sorry. (He said and suddenly the forlorn look on William's face that morning finally made sense)
C: But dad isn't that sad this year and maybe that's because you and Jake are here. He's really happy now.
Mi: Well I'm glad that I make your dad happy.
M: You make us very happy to.
C: Yes, you too Jake.
