"Good night, mommy. Good night, daddy." Aviella says.

She kisses both of us before going to the other queen sized bed where Alexa had been sleeping since we got here.

"Good night, baby girl." I say.

She gets under the covers, kissing Alexa's head as well before she closes her eyes.

I turn to Ariana and smile, kissing her cheek, then her head.

"I love you." I whisper.

"I love you more, no argument. I'm tired." Ariana yawns and I wrap my arm around her.

"Good night." I say.

I kiss her head once more before closing my own eyes to sleep.

Tuesday, 8:32 am

I wake up to the sound of giggling coming from the girls' bed. I look over and see them having a morning tea party with their toys.

"Hi, daddy." Aviella says, waving at me.

"Hey." I yawn and stretch.

Ariana is still asleep next to me so I stroke her cheek before getting out of bed. I walk to the bathroom and brush my teeth take quick shower.

Ariana is still not awake when I come out of the bathroom, but the girls are now watching SpongeBob with their stuffed animals.

"Come on, Lexi. We have to brush our teeth." Aviella says.

Alexa and Aviella find their toothbrushes and disappear into the bathroom.

I sit on the edge of my bed and scroll through different apps in my phone, until the girls return from the bathroom.

They don't even say anything as they find clothes and get dressed. I'm surprised that I don't have to tell them to do this stuff. They're probably just excited about the park.

"Daddy, can you do my hair?" Aviella asks.

Oh shit.

"I can try." I say, looking at the messiness of curls left on her head for  sleeping.

Apparently she already knows where the stuff is, so she finds it and gives it to me.

I don't even know what half of the shit is.

First I take the ponytail down, then I just look at her hair.

"Are you gonna do something, daddy?" Aviella looks up at me and I laugh.

I laugh and pick up a brush. I brush through her hair, trying my best not to hurt her.

"Now what do you want me to do to it?"

"You can just put it in a ponytail. I know your hair doing skills are limited." She says.

I laugh and hear a giggle from behind me. At first I think it's from Alexa, but she's wrapped up in The Loud House. The source is Ariana, who is awake and watching me.

"Good morning, sleepy head." I say.

She smiles.

"Good morning."

"How did you sleep?" I turn around to finish putting Aviella's hair in a ponytail.

When I'm done, Aviella finds a bow, which I pin into her head before she goes to sit with Alexa.

"You did a good job." Ariana says.

"Thank you very much." I walk to her side of the bed and kiss her cheek.

"I guess I should get ready. I'll take a shower later, because who knows how long that'll take?"

"I agree. Have fun." Ariana walks into the bathroom and I turn my attention to the TV.

Aviella and Alexa start explaining the show to me.

Apparently this child, Lincoln, is the only boy out of 11 kids. The rest of his siblings are girls, ranging from baby to teen, and they all have their own problems. Lincoln's best friends parents are both men, also known as gay. I don't know why that's appropriate for a kids TV show but whatever.

9:18 am

"I'm ready." Ariana walks out of the bathroom, fully dressed and ready to go.

"Alexa, do you want me to do your hair?" Ariana asks.

"No, it's okay. I just leave it alone."

"Alright, come on girls." I say.

I turn off the TV and we leave the room.
