Royal Adoration

Taking Those Steps Forward (Part 3)

Justin's POV

"Demi, please stop crying. You're about to give yourself a heart attack and it's not even that serious, baby!"

You know, I think I've sighed for the thousandth time today as I tried to calm my overemotional wife down.

"Not serious? Not serious?! Shut up Justin, shut up before I slap some sense into you!" she screamed before crying even harder as I just stood there biting my lip, trying not to let my laughter escape.

"Mommy, why are you crying? Is Daddy being mean to you?" James asked in a sad tone as he came out of nowhere and rested his head on her leg while hugging her. Rolling my eyes at the attention she was getting, I shook my head and stood up hastily so I could get out of there before my six year old twins cuss me out for 'making Mommy upset'.

Jogging up the stairs, I made my way to Romeo's closed door and entered only to find Prince and Acacia lying down on his bed. Romeo on the other hand had his suitcase at the end of continuing to put clothes.

"You're still packing, Rome?" I asked as I kicked my shoes off and got on his bed, stretching out my body causing both of the young kids to come and sit on me.

"Y'all are in here making yourselves comfortable and don't even wanna offer to help." he complained.

"Are you excited? They grow up so fast," I smiled, wiping an imaginary tear away before poking his arm a few times with my finger causing him to swat it away as if it were a mosquito.

"Dad, don't be getting soft on me." he chuckled which instantly wiped my grin off and instead reached for the pillow and threw it at his head.

"Daddy! I was using that!" Acacia exclaimed as she pouted and pushed my head a little so she could rest her head on my pillow.

"Sorry baby girl."

"Where's Mom? I need help. Packing is hard!" Romeo said. His neat packing didn't last and soon started to just toss his clothes inside his suitcase.

"She's crying downstairs." I laughed causing Romeo's head to snap up and shook his head at his mother's antics.

"Still? I'm moving fifteen minutes away, she's acting like I'm moving to the other side of the country!" he exaggerated as he pulled out his phone and started dialing a number.

"You try telling her that, she's cussing me out every time I try to say something." I shrugged as I watched him literally call up Demi to ask her to come upstairs.

Shaking my head, I wrapped my other arm around a quiet Prince and pulled him onto my chest so his attention was on me and not the TV he was just watching.

"Daaad!" he groaned as he tried to turn back around but I wasn't having any of it.

"Are you gonna try and leave your old man like your brother?" I frowned as I tickled his sides causing him to instantly shake his head as he laughed and wiggled out of my embrace.

"No Dad, I'll stay with you!" he laughed as he laid back down beside me.

"Me too Daddy, I wanna stay here with you too!" Acacia giggled as she jumped on me.

"Like you have a choice little one, you ain't ever leaving." I laughed alongside Romeo as she sent me a confused expression before turning her attention to the door.

With bloodshot eyes, quivering lips and a nose like Rudolf the Reindeer, my wife tiredly made her way into the room with Justin Jr and James on each side as if they were standing guard. Soon as they both spotted me, their expressions turned to angry scowls as if I was the enemy.
