The next morning Michael was busy making breakfast after he finished getting himself ready and waking the boys up. Mathew was the first one down.
Mi: How are you feeling buddy?
M: Mm-hm.
Mi: Where are your brothers?
M: They're getting their bags.
Mi: Do you want your breakfast now or do you want to wai for your brothers?
M: I'll wait for them.
Mi: Okay.
Just then Connor and Jake came downstairs with their bags slung over their shoulders. They sat down at the table and Michael gave them all their breakfast.
Mi: So... I'm papa now? (He asked starring at all three boys simultaneously)
J: Wait, how do you know about that?
C: We only talked about it last night.
M: I told him.
J & C: Matty!
Mi: Don't be mad at him, he had a bad dream last night.
M: I'm sorry.
J: It's okay Matty.
M: Are you angry?
C: Nope, you actually helped us. Now we don't have to be the first one's to say it.
J: Is that okay with you? (He asked his father)
Mi: Absolutely, I love it.
J: Good. (He smiled)
Mi: What are you going to call William then?
M: Dad.
C: You're going to be papa and he is going to be dad.
Mi: My, aren't you three smart.
The group finished their breakfast and left for school. Michael dropped the boys off first. Michael and Mathew left directly after school ended to go pick Jake and Connor up. They went out for lunch and then went back home where the boys did their homework and Michael his work.
~That Night~
Michael was sitting in the living room when Jake walked in and sat down next to his father. Michael put his arm around his son and pulled him in closer.
Mi: What's up buddy?
J: Nothing, I just wanted to come sit with you for a bit.
Mi: Can I ask you a question and you need to be completely honest okay.
J: Okay.
Mi: Are you okay with all of this, living here, me being with William?
J: Yes I am pops. I like being with Mathew and Connor. It's nice having brothers and 'dad' is really cool too. (He said with a smile) You're always smiling when you're around him and I like seeing you happy.
Mi: Thank you bud, I love you.
J: I love you. The father and son sat in a comfortable silence watching TV when the phone started ringing.
Mi: Go call your brothers, William is calling.
J: Okay.
...
Mi: Hi, how are you?
W: Fine, just missing my boys.
Mi: We miss you too.
