MATTY POV
"NO! LET GO OF ME, YOU WEIRDO!"
Thomas finally captured me after spending the last ten minutes running after me through the guest house, the little traitor I gave birth to aided her father in the epic capture. She stood by with a devilish giggle of delight and I struggled when Thomas pinned me to the couch and covered me in kisses.
I eventually give in to my temporary struggle and gently bit his lip as some form of revenge. He felt it and took the opportunity to lick the side of my fucking face.
"Ew!" I erupted in a mass of laughter and he laughed with me, burying his head in my shoulder, letting me feel the deep chuckle in his chest through mine.
"You guys are so gross," Jaydean groans as she sticks her tongue out at both of us and we look at each other. Having such a deep psychic link now that all we had to do was give a short nod and soon we were running after Jayde in unison.
"Papa! Papa save me!" She screamed as she ran from Thomas and I as fast as her scrawny little legs could carry her. Luca peeked his head out of the bathroom with a toothbrush hanging out of his mouth as Jaydean ran into his broken leg and hugged it tightly, scratching at her Papa to pick her up but he physically couldn't.
"Papa help me!" Jaydean screamed but I easily took her from her other father with his disability and Luca quickly spit in the sink and tossed his toothbrush down to come after Thomas and I.
"I'm coming baby! I'm coming!" He yelled as I spun Jayde around on my shoulder and Thomas kissed her little cheek.
"Ah! Mommy! Daddy! Stop it!" She yelled, with little tears streaming down her cheeks from how hard she was laughing and I tossed her down on the couch, letting Thomas attack her in a wave of tickles as she tried and failed to defend herself.
"Hi-Yah!" She kicked out, hitting Thomas' bicep where his fresh stitches were and he howls, pulling back as she makes her escape.
"She got me boys! Man down!" He screams and then it was just me against Jayde, her bodyguard standing between us.
"You don't want to do this," I warned, narrowing my eyes and getting into some kind of fighting stance, switching my feet back and forth while Jayde hid behind him and caught her breath.
"You've left me with no choice," My boyfriend says in a deeply threatening voice, trying to act tough when we were both dangerously close to laughing. I look at Jaydean giving her a little 'I've got my eyes on you' hand signal and she shrieks.
Luca hover's on his crutches, prepping to go either way and I fake left before slipping right, sliding past him with diversion before going after my target.
"NO!" She starts running again and I finally have her in my sights before side swiping her and tossing her over my shoulder, smacking her wiggling butt as she kicked me.
"Papa, you failed me!" She yells, pointing at Luca who points to his foot.
"Jayde, we all knew how this was going to end," I tell her and toss her back on the couch in the guest living room covering her giggling little face in tiny kisses as she loses the will to fight me.
She gently kicks me in the stomach and I hold her little feet to stop her from doing it again.
"Stop baby, you can't hit mommy in the stomach anymore or you might hurt your baby brother," Thomas tells her as he leans behind the couch with Luca and her little blue eyes go wild with anticipation and delight.
"I'm gonna have a baby brother!" She squeals and I nodded, suddenly attacked with her cuddly Luca side instead of my ultra-aggressive side.
"Where is he?" She asked and I knew it was harder for her to understand last time since she was only four years old but now that she's almost six it might be easier.
"He's right here, growing inside my tummy," I told her and her lips made a little 'o'. She quickly scurried up to my stomach, pressing her ear to my growing baby bump and rubbed it with one of her hands.
"I'm sorry baby brother, I didn't mean to hurt you, I just wanted to hurt mommy, shhh," She tells one of her brothers in utero and I flicked her forehead.
"Hey! What do you mean you wanted to hurt me?" I asked and she slapped my arm.
"I'm not talking to you mommy, I'm trying to talk to my baby brother!" which was the politest way she knew how to tell me to shut up.
"He can't talk back to you but he can probably hear you," Luca says as he finally sits down and to my relief, he puts his foot up on the coffee table like he should be. He's starting to worry me with his constant crutching when he should be resting.
"It's okay baby brother, we can drive mommy, daddy, and papa crazy together," she loudly whispers to him and meets my stern gaze.
"Just kidding baby," She says and pulls away, patting my stomach like it's one of our dogs.
"You're supposed to teach your baby brother good things Jayde. So they can grow up and be good like you. That's your job as a big sister," Thomas warns her and she gulps, toying with her fingers.
"That's a lot of responsibility daddy, I don't know if I'm ready. Hasan has five little siblings and he tells me they're really annoying," She says and Thomas finally joins us on the couch, coming behind me and wrapping his arm around my shoulder.
"Well, when they're little they can be kind of annoying. You were a really annoying baby," I told her and she crossed her arms.
"I was not, Grandpa says I was a pretty baby!" She huffs and I laughed out.
"You were pretty but you still cried all the time," Luca says and Jayde scoots up to snuggle with me.
"Hate to tell you this sweetheart but you cried nonstop and almost drove us insane," Thomas speaks the truth and her mouth drops.
"I don't cry anymore though. I'm a strong little warrior," She repeats the sentiments her fathers and I have been repeating to her. Instead of calling her a princess we say she's a warrior because unlike princesses she can fight for herself and kick ass.
"No, you don't. Now you're a good little girl and we love you a lot. Your baby brother will be the same way. He's going to cry a lot in the beginning but over time he'll become your best friend," Thomas reassures her and Jaydean yawns.
Luca turns on the TV skipping the news which we were currently the star of while I cover Jayde in a blanket. Letting my little girl fall asleep in my lap while she listened to her four siblings movements.
Noticing the space between us, I gently pull at Luca's shirt, silently beckoning him to come close and he does, closing the gap between the four of us as we make one complete family which will soon grow to eight.
"NO! LET GO OF ME, YOU WEIRDO!"
