This is gonna be adorable. Just saying.

"Pa! Come on, it's the first day! Daddy, Pa won't get up!" A little girl cheered from atop her father's chest.
"Let him sleep a little more, dear." Her other father said from the doorway.
"No, he needs to be there! Pa! Come on Daddy, help me!" The little girl whined. Her father rolled his eyes and walked over to the bed. As he began to climb onto the bed the other grabbed him and pulled him atop of him. The little girl jumped off her Pa as he cuddled closer to her Dad.
"Matthew. No cuddling. Rachel-" her Dad began but was cut off.
"But babe!" Her Pa said. She giggled at the two.
"Don't babe me. Get up, Rache wants you to get her on the bus with me." Her Dad replied. She smiled and tugged on her Pa's arms.
"Come on Pa!" She begged. Her Pa groaned and hugged her Dad as he rolled the two off the bed. She let out a small squeal and giggled as she looked down at them. Pa was trying to get a kiss while her Dad was glaring at him.
"Matthew. Absolutely not. Rachel first, then we can do whatever you want." Her Dad said sternly and a glint of something the little girl didn't recognize flashed over her Pa's eyes.
"Only because I love Rachel more than you babe." Her Pa said. She giggled and lightly blushed. Her Pa was always trying to compliment her, and he succeeded too often for her liking. Her Dad glared and Pa kissed his lips. The little girl squealed quietly as she watched the frown melt off her Dad's face as her Pa continued to peck the other's lips.
"Noochm, I think we raised a fangirl." Her Dad said. Her Pa smiled at her and chuckled.
"Good."

"Daddy?" The little girl asked her father. Her father turned to face her. 
"Yes Charlie?" He marked his spot in the book he was reading and looked at her. The little girl bit her lip before continuing.
"I know you said to stop asking, but how long until Dad comes home?" The little girl asked, her dirty blonde hair in pigtail braids that swished whenever she moved.
"Only like ten more minutes darling." Her Daddy answered. He went to open his book but was stopped by another question.
"Why does he leave every day?" Charlie asked, despite her father's irritation.
"He works, love. It's how we get money so you can have your new pretty clothing." Her Daddy replied. She nodded and gnawed her lip. She shouldn't ask any more questions, she knows it's bad to disturb her Daddy while he's reading. He looked at the girl and caught her gnawing away at her lip. He quickly marked his page and scooped up the little girl. He carefully pulled her lip out from between her teeth and lightly kissed the skin by her wound. "Don't do that Charlie. You don't want to give yourself a bad lip like me." Her father cooed gently towards the girl. She looked at her daddy's swollen lip and shook her head no. Her daddy always complained about how things as simple as eating hurt. She knew her Daddy didn't usually kiss anyone, not even her dad much. She didn't want that.
"I'm sorry Daddy. I just get nervous and I-"
"She sh sh. I understand doll, I had and still have the same problem. You just have to find other things to do. Like, say, suck on your tongue. It's not something easy to do but the younger you are when you try to stop the easier it will be for you." The girl nodded and made a weird face as she tried to figure out how to suck on her tongue. Her Daddy laughed and was going to say something when the front door swung open and her Dad came through the door. The girl smiled and made grabby hands at her Dad. He smiled and grabbed her up, spinning her around. He set her back down and crouched so he could reach his husband's cheek for a kiss. Instead, he was met by a sweet kiss on the lips. Charlie sat in the background with a large smile on her lips.

"Betty?!" The man called, searching the house nervously. He had looked away for a minute and then she yelled something and ran off. He hadn't heard what she said either, so he was slightly scared. "Betty sweetie, where'd you go?" He called again, searching around the living room nervously as the front door opened. "Oh thank god. Biggums Betty said something and then ran off while I was trying to work and-"
"Jerome. Breathe. She's probably just playing hide and seek, she does this all the time." The other man who had now entered the house added. "Baby gurl! Daddy didn't hear you when you asked him to play, would you mind coming out so he's not as worried?" The older asked through the house. A little voice sighed and stumbled down the steps.
"I'm sorry Daddy. You had said something quietly and so I thought you were agreeing to play. I didn't mean to scare you."
"It's alright doll, just make sure I hear you next time, okay?" The first said, scooping up his daughter.
"Alright Daddy. But can me, Dad, and you play hide and seek now?" The little girl asked, hope gleaming in her eyes. Her father sighed and looked to his husband with sad eyes.
"I think Daddy's still got some work to do. How about just me and you play, alright?" Betty nodded at the idea and ran off squealing about hiding places (Now is when Endstone comes on. COME ON SHUFFLE IMMA CRI NOW). The older turned to his husband who wore an apologetic smile.
"Thanks babe. I just hate having to tell her no."
"I don't blame you. She's definitely your girl, but for now I think I deserve a prize." He leaned down and kissed his husband's lips. The kiss was sweet at first, but the second it was about to become deeper the Canadian pulled away from the kiss. "20 seconds is up." He then bound up the stairs calling "Ready or not here I come!"

"Max! Where'd you end up?" A man called as he grumbled to himself. "I'm so glad I have him to help me instead of-" He stopped complaining as he stepped into the back yard. There sat his son, surrounded by flowers of various colors and shapes. Next to him was his husband, teaching the child how to make crowns from the scattered flowers. The young boy sloppily twined together a bunch of flowers, colors of orange, red, and yellow blending together in a jumble of stems. He smiled sheepishly at his father.
"I mean, they seemed to have stayed together this time. It's a step in the right direction." His father said before looking up. "Babe? What's up?"
"Oh, I don't know. I just needed help with something and no one was inside to help me. You two make it impossible to get anything done." The two surrounded by flowers looked away, knowing very well they were in trouble again.
"Sorry Dad. But, I made you a crown? It took a couple of tries, but this one should stay together." The boy offered up the crown in his hands to his dad, getting a smile in return. He sat down next to his son and giggled as the flower crown was placed upon his head.
"You're lucky I love you both. And your obsessions with flowers." He leant over and gave his husband a peck on the cheek. "I still need help with dinner though."
"I say Pa does it! He's the cook." The child shouted, getting a betrayed face from his father.
"Max does have a point, you know. Plus he always helps me. It's your turn Robadob."
"Fine, if I have to help you I will." The oldest complained as he stood up. He pulled up his husband and smiled at him. "You're so cute with a flower crown on. Still." The other giggled as they shared a quick kiss.
"Ew! I don't wanna see you two share cooties!" The child yelled jokingly as he shielded his eyes.

"Honey! When are they bringing Lizzy home?" A man yelled through the house to his husband.
"They'll both be home in few minutes! Why? Do you miss Liz?" His husband appeared in the doorway and stared teasingly at the other.
"Yes I do. She's the only fun one in this house."
"I can't believe you'd say such a thing. I'm sure Michael will be just as hurt as I am." His husband gasped in feign shock and hurt, turning away dramatically. A car was heard pulling into their driveway and both shot towards the door.
"Hey you two! Your kids are so sweet, and they're like the only pair of twins I've met that don't hate each other."
"They only behaved because they weren't home." The first's husband smacked him and he rubbed his arm.
"Thanks again for taking them. Did you two have fun?" The shorter asked the twins who were now emerged from the car.
"Lots of fun! We went swimming and had a picnic! Ooh, and there were lots of flowers!" The girl yelled as she skipped towards her parents.
"I'm so glad you two are home. Your dad's no fun when you guys are gone." The taller said as he hugged both kids.
"It was a lot of fun. But I'm glad to be home." The boy said as his father released him. He turned to his dad and hugged him as well.
"Buh-Bye miss! I hope we can play again soon!" The little girl called to the adult who'd been watching her.
"I hope so too Elizabeth. Bye Michael. Keep an eye on your dads for me, will you?" The woman waved and pulled away in her car. The little kids waved goodbye before running inside, talking endlessly about their trip and everything that happened during it. Their fathers shared kisses between each other whenever the kids looked away, glad to have their kids home safe once more.

I hope you enjoyed! I certainly did. Especially since I started this months ago and just remembered about it. Whoops! But anyways. Until next time, Peace my Cheeses! I love you all <3
