Chris POV

6 Months Later

"Okay, but I don't even have time to discuss why we not married yet. I gotta go pick up Nini." Candice said to me as she pulled away from my hold. I followed her out of our room to Aleah's and picked her up before she could. I put her down on the floor and watched her take a couple of steps before she whined to get picked up again as she rubbed her eyes.

"Dadd-eee." She said to me Candice left out of the room huffing as I reached down and helped her stand up again. I'd be damned if she couldn't walk on her birthday today.

"No!! That's mine!!" I heard Tristan yell while I just gave up and put Aleah in my arm.

"Share boy!!" Candice yelled from what sounded like the kitchen. Feet were heard running in the room ahead of Aleah's and as soon as I showed my face, it stopped. I looked from Tristan to Angelo with a serious face. Tristan pointed at Angelo. I was happy he was living with us in the house, but I felt bad for having to explain to him that his mama wasn't coming home anytime soon.

After she got better months ago, she jetted. Like real life disappeared on us. I tried her phone, but it had been disconnected after a month or so. She didn't live with Cleo anymore so of course she had no idea where the wild girl had went. It was crazy and a lot to take in, but he was here and almost official a part of the family once they found Aréona to sign her rights over.

"Give it to me. Both of yall." They brought the little pieces of Optimus prime to me and I looked at Tristan's sad face. He had been on his almost best behavior and up under me more than usual which made sense since that day. I loved it, but it made it hard for me to do much with Candice.

"He broke it." Tristan said to me.

"No I didn't. It comes a part like that." Angelo protested.

"I 'ont care who did what, but y'all need to put on some pants so we can go. What is going on with y'all?" I asked them they looked at each other and shrugged. It was like their thing for some reason and I found it hilarious.

"Aleah can't be in here." Angelo said. Tristan shook his head and went to his drawer to pull out a pair of polo shorts.

"Nope. She's a girl." Tristan agreed. I patted the air and picked up Aleah before she got into their to box. I left out their rooms and went to hers pulling her on something else as well after I changed her diaper. Them grabbed her diaper bag.

"Daddy bout to take y'all to the park." I spoke to her excitedly.

"Oouu." She spoke back. I chuckled. She didn't know much but she knew park and many.. many colorful words that I somehow wasn't saying anymore. Candice could take that L. I had stopped after hearing about what Tristan had said. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. All I had to do was substitute one cuss word for another random word.

"Yeah, ouu, but before that, we gotta pick up Nini." I informed her. I always talked to her like she was a big girl cause she was going to be one one day, but I also wanted to hold on to this moment so much before we get to that back-talking stage.

"Nye! We get to see Nye!?" Tristan yelled excitedly at the door after I picked her up. I nodded and pushed him out the door with me as I grabbed her diaper bag up and shut off the light. I made sure I had my phone and things before locking the door behind me after Candice was out the house with Angelo trailing behind.

"We'll talk about it. I promise." I told Candice in a serious tone. She glared over at me as I slapped her on the butt and left to the driver side after I strapped in Aleah.
