"Okay Liv, you got everything?"

"Yes daddy. Hurry, I want to see grandpa!" She smiled with enthusiasm.

I chuckled and got in the car, closing the door behind me.
"Alright. Alright." I started the car and as I pulled out of the driveway, Olivia gasped.

"Molly!"

I sighed and closed my eyes on irritation.
"What?"

"My Molly doll! She's still in the house."

"Do you really need it Liv?"

She nodded and pouted.
"Yes daddy!" She whined.

I sighed and pulled back into the driveway.
"Alright. Fine. I'll get the-....I'll get the doll." I said, getting out of the car.

We were on the way to my dads house since I had a break in the schedule and it was the weekend for Olivia. She loved seeing my dad and I had to admit, I missed the old guy. I ran through the house and grabbed her doll, before going back out of the house and back to the car.
"Here Liv."

She smiled widely.
"Thank you daddy!"

I pulled out and started driving out of our neighborhood. I was playing Baby Shark and Olivia was abnormally quiet, playing with her doll.

"You okay sweetie?" I asked.

I looked at her through the mirror and she nodded.
"Uh huh."

I turned my attention back to the road before Olivia almost made me crash.

"Are you and Cassie getting married?"

I paused and sighed.
"Uh..um.., maybe why?"

"Because.." She spoke again. "I want Xavier to be my brother and Cassie to be my mommy and that can only happen if you and Cassie get married."

A small smile grew on my face as I thought about me and Cassie actually making that jump to even get engaged and actually become a true family. Maybe even having a little one of our own..

"Daddy!"

"What?" I asked, snapping out of it.

"Would you do that?"

"Maybe Liv..maybe.."

"Grandpa!" Olivia yelled, running out of the car.

I smiled and got out as well.

"Hey beautiful." My dad said, picking Olivia up and walking towards me. "Hey son."

"Hey dad." I smiled, hugging him as we all walked into the house.

"How have you been?" He asked.

"Uh, I've been good. The team is good. Olivia is good. I've been great."

He nodded.
"That's-"

"Who's Cassie?" A voice asked.

I recognized that voice..
"Sis!" I smiled, turning around as she smiled and hugged me.

She smiled and hugged back, before pulling away and grabbing Olivia from our dad.
"My niecey!" She squealed, tickling Liv.

"Auntie!" Liv smiled.

"Asia, what are you doing here?"

"I heard you were visiting dad, so I came too." She shrugged. "But back to my question."

I nodded.
"Cassie."

"Cassie." She nodded. "Who is she?"

"She's my-"
