Kyle 🏀

Ariana sat on the couch while Violet and I ripped open gifts. Aiden and Jordan sat in their baby bouncers, both asleep.

"You don't wanna open your gifts?" I ask Ariana.

"Not right now." She said, curling up. "You guys go first."

I frown but nod. After her whole episode the other night, I knew I had to walk a bit of a tightrope around her. I'm sure she's catching on to it, but I'm going to continue doing what I have to do to make sure my family is taken care of.

I watch Violet tear open the wrapping paper to one of the dolls she got. She stands up, in her reindeer pajamas, to show it to Ari.

"Ooh, that's nice." Ari exclaimed.

I purse my lips and stand up as well, sitting next to Ari on the couch. I pull her curled legs onto my lap, and place my hand on the back of her thigh. She places her hand on top of mine and plays with her wedding ring.

"Are you sure you're okay?" I ask, grabbing her hand.

She sighs and runs her free hand through her hair, nodding at my question. I close my eyes.

"I don't believe it." I say.

She looks at me from Violet opening up her castle from Frozen 2. "What makes you say that?"

"I know when you're lying to me Ari, and you rarely ever do." I exclaim, watching her look down at her hand. "So do you want to open your gifts or not?"

"Just give me the damn gifts Kyle." She exclaims, shaking her head at me.

I grin, grabbing the pile of gifts with her name on them.

She's gonna love them.

Ari thought she was slick. I caught her in the kitchen dancing around to WAP. Christmas was over. The guys and I got the win. Today was a pretty good day.

"The only thing that sets you apart from this song is the fact that you actually do cook and clean...the pussy is just a plus." I comment, shrugging.

Ari sighed, turning to face me. "One month. That's all I'm asking."

"I'm ready to get back in it. It's been so long." I groan.

"Strap up and we won't have this problem." She shrugged.

"Hell nah. I'll fuck raw as much as I want to." I appeal.

She giggles at my comment as I approach her. I kiss her forehead, hugging her close to me. She looks up at me and I kiss her lips, squeezing her ass.

"Ass still fat." I exclaim, slapping it. I then grip it in my hands and lift her up. She squeals as I sit her on the counter, standing between her legs. I kiss her again then back away, going to finish the dishes for her.

She sings a few of the songs that come up from her playlist. I finish with the dishes then turn to face her again.

"You wanna hear a funny story?" I ask.

She nods.

"So last year when we were in the NBA bubble, for the Finals we were playing against the Miami Heat." I lick my lips. "The rookie on that team, Tyler Herro, is dating Katya."

Her eyes bug out of her head and I nod.

"Not only that, but at the time I was dating Winnie. I can't even begin to explain how awkward it was to have my current and ex girl at the same game...rooting for different teams." I explain. "It was so weird."

"Well, that's all over now." She said.

I nod again, walking up to her. "Yes it is."

She places her hands on my cheeks, kissing my lips. I put mine on the top of her thighs.

"I love you." I say.

She smiles. "I love you more."

I help her down off the counter so that we can get ready for bed.

*****

At around 4AM that next morning, Ari is getting out of the bed to cater to the twins. I know this because she had to move my arm from around her waist just so she could get up.

About a minute later, I'm walking into the twins room rubbing my eyes.

"What's up?" I ask tiredly.

"Aiden was just hungry." Ari replied, patting Aiden on the butt as she breastfed him.

I look over at Jordan, who was sound asleep in his crib. It's like clock work with them. One would scream and holler for one hour, then after you get that one asleep the other one starts up. Like clock work.

When she finished breastfeeding Aiden, she was going to put him back in the crib.

"Let me take him." I say.

She looked at me questioningly, but handed me the baby anyway. I picked up Jordan as well, heading out of the room.

"Where are you going?" She asked.

"They clearly wanted daddy's attention, so they're going to get it." I exclaim, bouncing Aiden gently to stop his whimpering. I kiss his cheek.

I make my way downstairs with the boys in my arms, putting them both in their baby bouncers. I turn it on so it feels like they're still being held.

I didn't realize Ari had followed me downstairs until she sat down in my lap. She ran her hand through my curls.

"You know you don't have to stay down here with them." She said.

"I want to." I exclaim. "Besides, they sleep better in these chairs now that I think about it."

You literally won't hear a peep come out of them. These chairs are like baby magic.

"I can stay up with you." Ari suggests, after a few minutes of silence.

I shake my head. "You go back to sleep because you need it."

I kiss her neck. She sighs before nodding in agreement. I then kiss her shoulder.

"I'll see you in the morning baby girl." I say.

She stands up off my lap and heads for the stairs.

"I love you." I call out to her.

"I love you too." She replied.

I grin. "Goodnight."

"Night."

I turn on the TV and put the volume on low. I was only watching it for about thirty minutes before I was dozing off to sleep.

Fatherhood, it's great.
