Arlos p.o.v

I'm laying in bed, on my phone. I know i should be sleeping, but I'm not that tired right now. I look up when my door cracks open, revealing Everest. He sniffs and wipes his eye
"Ev? You alright?" I ask him quietly, putting my phone down. He shakes his head
"I had a nightmare..." i hold my arm out to him. He clambers onto my bed and leans against me.
"Why didn't you go to mom and dad?"
"I did. Octavia was already there" he says. I nod and hold him tight against me
"Sorry buddy. Do you wanna play some games with me?"
"Okay..." I grab my two controllers (I have an extra few for when Riley comes around, or the kids want to play) and boot up minecraft. He sits on my lap and I rest my chin on his head. We build a house, and I let him boss me about for a couple of hours. The door opens again, revealing my dad. He's shirtless, and looks a bit tired and rather confused
"I wondered where you went, ev. You okay now?" Everest nods
"Yeah! We built a house" my dad sits beside me and watches the screen as Everest shows him around our scrummy little wooden house.
"That's awesome. You should go to sleep, kids. You have school, and it's three in the morning" I look at my clock in surprise
"Why are you awake then? Old men should be asleep by ten" I jab my dad in the ribs
"Hey! I'm twenty eight, thanks. I'm hardly an O.A.P, though your mother makes me feel like one" he snickers. I chuckle.
"Somehow I doubt that, given the noises I heard just last night" I stoke my chin. He smacks me upside the head, though not hard of course. I laugh
"So, should I be expecting number 9 soon enough then?" I joke. My dad snickers
"Probably. Who knows anymore." He kisses my head, and then Everest's
"Seriously, though. Why are you awake?" He chuckles lightly
"Octavia kicked me" I chuckle too, realising that through our exchange, Everest has fallen asleep on my lap, his head resting in my shoulder. My dad smiles lightly at him.
"I'll take him back to his room." He nods and follows me as I pick Everest up and take him to his room, setting him in his bed and tucking him in. I ghost a kiss on his forehead before heading back to my room. My dad joins me.
"Don't tell you mother" he warns, before leaving the room and coming back with a bottle of whisky. Sometimes me and my dad drink a bit of whisky together and talk. We like to think mom doesn't know, though I can guarantee she does. He pours me a glass and I take a sip.
"How's Riley, son?" He asks. He's sat, leaning against the wall, his prosthetic leg stretched out in front of him.
"She's okay. Her mom has been getting in her case a lot, and the kids are wearing her thin, but she's managing"
"Not much I can really say, if I'm honest. As long as she knows that she can come here at any point to get away from all of that"
"Yeah, she knows."
"Good. How's school going?"
"It's... hard, and the older kids can get pretty rough sometimes"
"I see that much hasn't changed. When we were in high school, only about 10 years ago, we already had you, and soon enough your mom was pregnant with Bella, and then grace, and then arrow. So that's four kids by the time we left high school. Then we did actually get to go to college, though we spent quite some time off on maternity and paternity leave. Even now, I still struggle to wrap my head around it." He sighs
"Do you regret it?"
"Regret what, buddy?" I take a sip of my drink
"Having me and the kids." He sighs
"Well, no, I don't. I love all of you, more than anything, but sometimes I think about how things could have been different, y'know? I know what I gave up, which was being a teenager, but I also know that I didn't care, and I still don't. Imagine if you somehow gotten Riley pregnant when you were 12 and now she's pregnant again. How would you feel?" I blink twice
"I guess I'd be pretty scared. But I see what such a good job you and mom did with us and I'd know that it was possible to do that." My dad smiles softly at me, brushing some of my hair back.
"Thanks, buddy. As you were growing up, I was always afraid that you'd be disgusted by us because of how young we were, and when we finally told you the truth, that you'd want nothing to do with us, or that you'd think that sort of thing was okay, but you've got your head on straight, much straighter than I did. I knew your mother came from a very religious family, yet I went for her anyway. It only has to happen once. It was extremely unlucky, as she was on the pill at the time. She had forgotten one single pill, and that's all it took. I do hope you still haven't done that with Riley?" I blush slightly
"We haven't gone that far yet but... I've been thinking about it." I kinda expect him to go off on a rant about how bad it is, but he doesn't. He just smiles.
"You're getting to that age now where you would want to do that sort of thing. It's just the way it is, I'm afraid. I'm not going to tell you you shouldn't do it, because there is actually nothing wrong with it, as long as you do it right. If you need anything in regards to that, you shouldn't be afraid to ask your mother or me. I mean, me and your mother have accepted that we are just extremely unlucky with that sort of thing and don't bother with protection anymore, because it never worked. Condoms always split, pill packets were lost. It just never seemed to go well, so we gave up. You shouldn't, though."
"You're probably getting the wrong sized condom, dad" I point out. He grins at me
"I always got the biggest size I could find. It never fit"
"You're tellin' me that someone as skinny as you doesn't fit any condoms at all?" I look at him reproachfully. He bursts out laughing, but keeps it quiet enough to not wake anyone
"Yep! How unlucky I am" he fake cries. I laugh too.
"Genes weren't on my side, then" I chortle. My dad shakes his head, still laughing
"I cannot believe I am talking to you about how big my dick is" I burst out laughing
"Dad! You can't say that!"
"I'm a grown ass man, I can say what I want" I laugh harder, burying my head in a pillow to muffle it. After we finish laughing, I rest against my dads shoulder and he wraps his arm around me. I'm pretty sure I fell asleep after a while, and I think he did too.
