An Unexpected Love

B2 Chapter 13

Spencers POV

It was 8am on a Saturday morning, I have the day off and I am officially on daddy duty. 

Step 1: Pick up my kids

Step 2: Hang out with my kids

Step 3:  Make my kids love me more than they already do

Step 4: Be the best dad in the world

Step 5: Move on from Cathy

Okay. Time to pick up my kids. I get in my car and drive over to JJ's house. After driving for about 15 minutes, I finally arrive. I rang the door bell and JJ opens the door, and she looks like a mess. 

"Oh Spence, you're here, thank you! Will and I can only handle 2 at a time!" JJ says in relief

"Good morning to you to" I say

"Alice! Thomas! Your dad is here!" JJ shouts

"Daddy!" I hear as well as loud running down the stairs

"Ah, hold up, no running down the stairs! We've talked about this guys" JJ says sternly to them

"Sorry, auntie JJ" They both say at the same time, walking the rest of the way down

JJ hands me their backpacks and hands me their car seats.

"Good luck, they may seem like a lot to handle, but they're really wonderful kids Spence"

"How do I know if I'm doing a good job?"

"You'll know, and so far you're doing a great job. You're taking up a job that Cathy's had to do 5 years alone. Micah was no help at all. You being here for your kids now, and not even to mention that your kids actually want you, over Micah speaks louder than words"

"Thank you JJ" I say hugging her

"Daddy! I'm ready to go home!" Alice says putting on her shoes

"Me too!" Thomas says

"Come on! Who wants breakfast?" I say extending my hands for my kids to grab

"Me!" They both raise their hands at the same time. They both extend their hands to me and grab mine.

"Say thank you to Auntie JJ" I say

"Thank you Auntie JJ" The kids say in unison

"Now wave goodbye" I say and they wave goodbye to JJ

I set up their car seats in my car and allow them to get themselves settled into their seats and get all backed in. I put on child lock on both the doors, just in case they start playing the doors and a car door flings open and the door somehow knocked down. Then my car will no longer be 4 door car, but a 3 door car. 

"Where do you guys want to eat breakfast?"

"I want Pancakes!" Thomas says

"You didn't answer his question Thomas" Alice says

"It's okay Alice"

"We don't usually go out to eat breakfast, Mommy makes ours" Thomas says

"Oh yeah, does she make them good?"

"Yeah! We went to Ihop one time and the say they had the best pancakes ever, but they were wrong!" Thomas says

"Oh yeah? How so?" I ask

"Mommies pancakes tasted much better than theirs!"

"Ah yes, your mom does make very good pancakes and french toast too" I say reminiscing on the old times
