{7:27 pm} "WE WANT DADDY CLEAN US!" Devin chirps in his baby voice, running into mine and my fiancé's room and jumping onto the mattress, giving Dezerae a hopeful look.

Nodding, Dezerae turns her attention to me and smiles softly. "You want to give the boys their bath?" she asks, cocking an eyebrow and forking over a hopeful smile.

I nod and beam at her. "Yeah, that's fine," I answer.

She beams back at me as we stand up. I pick Devin up off the bed and carry him into the bathroom while Dezerae goes to find KJ.

"Daddy?" Devin asks as I set him down and then get down on my knees in front of the tub to turn the faucet on.

"What's up, bud?" I ask, turning to face him and smiling.

"Do you lobe Mama?" he asks, giving me a curious look.

"Of course I lobe Mama, dude," I respond. "Why would you think I don't lobe her— Love her?"

"But yous no talk two weeks," he answers softly in his baby voice.

"Aw, bud. Mama and me were just fighting. But, dude, I still love your mama. I love your mama so much."

My son beams at me. That's when Dezerae speaks up behind me. "I found KJ," she replies. "I stripped him down to his diaper, so you just need to take his diaper off."

I turn to face my girl and nod, retrieving KJ from her arms. Forking over a small smile, she lightly brushes her soft lips against my cheek and then exits the bathroom. "Mama pretty," KJ answers in his baby voice from in my arms.

"I know, bud. I'm so lucky to have her and you and your brother."

KJ grins widely at me and I gently kiss his cheek.

{8:31 pm} "Goodnight, bud. I love you," I respond, kissing Devin's cheek.

"Night, Daddy. Lobe you too."

Walking over to KJ's crib, I lightly kiss his cheek. "Goodnight, dude. I love you."

KJ smiles sleepily at me as he closes his eyes.

I switch their overhead light off and crack their door shut before cutting across the hallway to enter mine and Dezerae's room.

{8:33 pm} "Hi, baby," Dezerae chirps, placing her chapter book down on her nightstand and placing her reading glasses on top. "Were you able to get the boys to bed?"

"Mm-hmm. Whatcha reading?"

"After We Collided by Anna Todd."

I nod as I plop down beside her.

Dezerae sighs softly as she puts her reading glasses back on, climbs off the bed, and retrieves something. "Kaiden, we need to get this set up." She passes me the piece of paper that I received in the mail the other day from my attorney. I release a heavy sigh as I nod. "I know we do."

"Since you took these next few days off, these next few days will be the perfect time to do it," she informs, plopping down beside me.

"I know," I answer. "But the court date may have to wait until after our wedding because our wedding is in a few weeks, you know."

She forks over a small smile.

I place the papers on my nightstand and then turn my attention to my fiancé, smirking. "What?" she asks softly, glancing at me.
