Ups and Downs, But Mostly Ups

Hogwart's House?

Day two in Southern California. Tobin and Alex wake up at the crack of dawn to start unpacking.
"Where should we start?" Tobin whispers, not wanting to wake the boys.
"The kitchen stuff. The boys will be hungry when they wake up." Alex replies, pointing to the giant boxes in the corner.
Tobin nods and walks over.
The two lovers share a kiss before starting their work.
..........
8:30 am. Saturday morning.
Grayson is nudged awake by Jackson.
"Jack, stop!" He groans.
"Gray get up. We gotta get the Xbox hooked up or I'm gonna die!" Jackson says.
"Fine." Grayson says doling out of bed.
"........but I need to eat first."
Jackson rolls his eyes in a sign of agreement.
They walk out to see Tobin, Alex, and Hunter in the kitchen. And surprisingly, Bentley, the family Brittany Spaniel. Bentley has been in a vet while the family moved in.
"Hey Bennie!" Jackson says.
Bentley jumps from Hunter's arms to Jackson, and then Grayson. They all pet him for a few minutes.
"Ok guys. Me and mom and going food shopping, because that's a necessity we forgot." Tobin says grabbing the car keys.
"But we're hungry!" Jackson says.
"Well you can do plenary of the things. Jackson and Grayson, you can set up the Xbox like you wanted to. And Hunter, can you walk Bentley?" Alex says turning her head towards Hunt.
"Uh yea." Hunt replies looking up.
Hunter and Bentley follow Tobin and Alex out to the drive way.
"Don't go too far buddy." Tobin says getting into their black Range Rover.
"Got it." Hunter replies.
Hunt watches as his parents pull out of the drive way. He waves and stares a moment at the other family car, the red Tesla.
When Hunter turns around, he sees a little boy, not much younger than him, just staring at him.
"Um hey." Hunter says trying to be nice.
The two are about 15 feet apart and Hunter wasn't going any closer.
Hunt thought this kid might be their neighbor.
"What's your Hogwarts house?" The boys yells.
Hunter looks confused at the boy.
"What?" He says.
"What's you Hogwarts house? I'm a RavenClaw."
"Oh, I'm not really into all that Harry Potter stuff. Sorry." Hunter says starting to walk away.
"Then how do you live?" The small boys says, clearly not thinking the conversation was over.
"Um..sports. I live by sports." Hunt replies.
"Oh...ew." He says.
Hunter was staring at the boy for a few seconds and saw that he was indeed Japanese.
"I'm Aaron." The Japanese boys adds.
"Hunter...it's nice to meet you."
"My daddies adopted me from Japan. What about your dads?" Aaron says tilting his head.
Hunter chuckles and says:"I actually have two moms."
"Oh that's cool. Do you have any other siblings?"
"Yea. Two brothers, Grayson and Jackson."
"Cool. I have two brothers too. My brother Keo is adopted from Africa and my brother Tyson is from New Jersey."
"Oh sweet." Hunter says.
".....well I guess I'll see ya around Aaron."
"Yea, I'll drop off the book later." He says walking off.
"What book?" Hunter asks.
"Harry Potter. How can you says your not into it if you never even tried it?"
Hunter nodded in agreement, not wanting to upset the boy.
Hunter then went on his walk with Bentley.
...........
"No Jack. That wire goes into the HDMI1 plug in not 2." Gray says a little annoyed.
"Okay geez." Jackson says looking innocent.
"Hey guys. " Tobin says walking in the door.
"Hey mama." Jackson says looking up.
"What's for breakfast?" Grayson adds.
"Blueberry pancakes."
The boys high five in victory and continue their work.
.............
Hunter comes back from walking the dog, Jackson and Grayson hooked up the Xbox, Alex puts out a plate of pancakes and Tobin puts out sliced oranges.
These were the times the whole family loved. Meal time. And it's not just about the food, even though that was a huge component, the family loves being together. They could all sit around, talking about their days, talking about the next day, it was great.
Tobin walks over to Alex and hands her a steaming hot cup of coffee.
"Thanks babe." Alex says.
"No problem, hey." Tobin says.
"Yea?" Alex says turning her head.
"I love you." Tobin says smiling.
"Well guess what?" Alex replies chuckling.
"What?" Tobin says looking puzzled.
"I love you too."
Alex and Tobin share a passionate and watch their beautiful babies laugh together.
This is the beginning of a beautiful life.
