Theron
Being an almost eighteen year old dad is hard. Responsibilities are piled sky high and the odds of me being a good dad like mine was to me is quite bleak. But the smile on my baby's face makes me think I'm doing alright.
But along came Bobby...
I'm waiting patiently, though time is moving slow,
I have one vacancy and I wanted you to know that,
You're the one designed for me,
A distant stranger that I will complete,
I know you're out there, we're meant to be,
So keep your head up and make it to me,
Make it to me.

Bobby Ray
"No fucking way!" I exclaim when Smitty Ray pulls the jewelry box from his coat pocket.
I do the same and Smitty Ray glares at me, "You are not stealing my thunder again dick head," he points his finger in my face.
"Yes I am shit for brain," my finger is so close I can pick his nose for him.
Five years later and we are both still twinning. It's one of those mythical twin things I guess. The end of high school was pretty okay for us and when we graduated I went on to pro football. I can tell you it's not been easy for Theron and I but with how much the guy loves me and I him we make it work.
"Would you two stop it?" dad grumbles from behind us and beam when he sees the boxes in both our hands.
"Compromise," is all dad says before glaring playfully at us and then going back inside.
"Rock, paper, scissors. Whoever wins gets Christmas and the loser gets New Years," I grit and Smitty nods his agreement.
"We're grown ass men!" Smitty exclaims and I quirk a brow at him and hold the look until he sighs. We shake on it and needless to say I come out on top. Smitty always goes for paper so I go with scissors.
Both Theron and I still live with mom and dad and no its not because we're trying to live off of them but I felt kind of bad moving Theron out and leaving Ky behind so we put up an addition to the pool house and we live there and Ky refers to my parents as Grandpa and Grandma and Theron is still 'Daddy' and Ky calls me 'Dad.'
Christmas day after lunch and all the presents were opened Ky stayed with mom and dad to help with the cooking for dinner since he wants to become a Chef when he grows up.
