corbyn held the door open for daniel, morgan and alex, nalia in daniel's arms, as they entered the restaurant. it was extremely rare for them to go out and eat, seeing as they didn't want to be interrupted by fans. as much as they adored each and every single fan, they would also like to have their own family time.

"uh.. table for 4. and a high chair, please." daniel spoke to the lady kindly. she nodded her head, and waved them over.

"follow me." she said happily, grabbing a few menus. the family followed her over to a booth. she handed them the menus, placing a kids menu in front of alex. "i'll be right back with the high chair."

"thank you." corbyn smiled. alex and morgan sat next to each other, while corbyn and daniel on the opposite sides. when she returned with the chair, daniel thanked her again, and strapped nalia in.

"can i get some apple juice?" alex asked, pointing at the drink. corbyn smirked and looked over at daniel who held in his laugter.

"of course, bud." daniel chuckled.

"hi! i'm nicco and i'll be your waiter for the day? can i get you started with a drink?"

"water for me, and orange juice for her." daniel smiled, pointing at the toddler.

"alex, go ahead." corbyn said encouragingly. alex has always had a problem speaking up for himself, daniel and corbyn were pushing him (gently) to get him to speak up.

"um.. um. uh, apple juice, please." he whispered, feeling his cheeks heat up. nicco grinned and looked at morgan.

"just water, please."

"okay.. and for you sir?" he looked at corbyn. corbyn just wanted a sprite. and when nicco left, daniel reached over, ruffling alex's hair.

everything went smoothly. they got their drinks, and ordered their food. corbyn was quietly talking with daniel, morgan playing tic-tac-toe with alex, and nalia was watching a show from the netflix genre 'kids 0-2' on daniel's phone.

nicco came around with their food. he set the plates down in front of the family. he made sure everything was okay before leaving them alone.

daniel gently took his phone out of nalia's hands, taking nalia's smaller fork, and dipped it in the mac and cheese. he blew on the food so she wouldn't burn her mouth.

corbyn cut up some of alex's food for him since he was struggling to cut it, and morgan was already eating her salad.

daniel was eating his own food and feeding nalia. morgan bit her lip. "dad?"

corbyn looked up, smiling at his daughter. "yes?"

"how do you turn off comments on instagram?" she asked quietly. daniel frowned, wiping his lips on his napkin. corbyn looked at daniel, then back at morgan.

"uh.. let me see, honey."

morgan handed him her phone, instagram already opened. the two looked at the comments on her post. a majority of them were simple heart eye emojis or funny questions from fans, but some were horrible comments, probably from the kids at her school.

corbyn sighed, easily turning the comments off in her settings.

"i'm gonna go to the bathroom." daniel said quietly to corbyn, squeezing his thigh.

daniel slipped out of the booth, making his way to the bathrooms. he went into the boys bathroom, sighing heavily when he look at his reflection.

he had dark bags under his eyes, which was from staying up late because he was so paranoid. his brown hair needed to be cut, maybe he'll dye it again.
