Michael whistle to himself and juggled the two bags between his hands so he was able to unlock the door to his apartment.
Their apartment to be exact.
He could immediately spot his husband with their youngest daughter in his hands and a baby food maker in front of him.
When Luke raised his head Michael was met with teary eyes and a sad face.
He quickly closed the door and rushed over, he left the bags on the floor because they didn't matter.
"What's wrong love?" Michael asked and took Gemma away from Luke before pulling him into a hug.
Luke gripped onto Michael's shirt and started quietly sobbing. "Zoey doesn't like me."
Michael frowned before he kissed his husband's crying face. "Of course she does. She's your daughter and you're her daddy. She loves you so much."
"No." Luke shook his head. "I woke her up with and made her waffles and she started yelling at me how you promised her pancakes. Then I accidentally put mint teabag instead of chamomile and she spilled it all over the table saying I'm the worst father in the world."
"Babe, shush. You do not believe that."
Michael moved away from Luke only to put Gemma into her seat. Right away Luke took her bottle and gave it to her so she wouldn't get bored or cry.
Michael took both of Luke's hands and smiled at him. "See? The best dad ever."
The younger man smiled but it was clear he was still hurt.
"Look I didn't want to say anything because I didn't want to upset you. I know it'll upset you more that I didn't tell you about this in the first place but still... I think that for the past few months Zoey got a bit jealous of Gemma."
"But she loves her sister." Luke disagreed.
"I know. But since we don't have her in daycare because you're home she sees how much time you spend with Gemma and how much attention she gets."
Luke thought about it for a second. "I should give her more attention. I love her just as much as Gemma."
"I know you do. You know," Michael decided that brighten Luke's day. "When you were pregnant she had to write a letter to the person she loved the most in the world and it was for you. I still have it but Zoey said that she didn't want to show it to you since you'll probably cry and you cried over everything when you were hormonal."
Luke smiled widely. "Really?"
Michael nodded. "You know I'd never lie to you. I even told you, you looked chubby when you were carrying Zoey and it made you cry but I was still honest with you."
"I should go and talk to her." Luke detached himself from Michael's arms.
"Don't forget that she's five. She loves you even if she says she doesn't." Michael added before Luke walked to his firstborn's room.
He knocked. "Can I come in?"
After no reply, Luke slowly opened the door to see his daughter sitting on her bed with her favorite book.
"I'm sorry for yelling at you daddy." The girls sniffled.
"I'm sorry for your tea baby. And about the pancakes, no one told me it was a pancake day."
Luke walked over and sat away from Zoey, just in case she didn't want to be close to him. He was wrong as the little girl quickly climbed over to him and hugged him.
"I love you." She whispered.
Luke laughed from relief. "I love you too, princess." He kissed her golden curls. "I'll make you a deal. If you'll eat the waffles today we'll call the entire family on the phone and invite them for a pancake party tomorrow."
Zoey smiled. "Even Ashy and Cally?"
"Yes baby, even them."
