Herc's POV
Nathaniel was now six months old. Let me tell you, being a parent isn't the easiest job in the world. I've given the kid two baths already and it was only 12:50.

"Herc? Mon amour, Adrienne is on ze phone, come bring Nathaniel." I sighed and walked out of the nursery with Nathaniel. When I entering my bedroom, I saw Laf sprawled out on the bed with his phone in his hand. I laid Nathaniel in the middle of Laf and I.

"Hi Adrienne! How's Adi?" Just as I asked, a three year old came into the view of the screen.

"Why don't you ask her. Adi, say hi to Uncle Laf and Herc." She smiled at us and showed off her tiny teeth.

"Hi Uncles! Hi Nathaniel!" She was such a cute girl.

"She misses you guys. Adi, why don't you go play with toys in your room so mommy can talk to Uncle."

"Okay!" She skipped out of the living room Adrienne was in.

"Thank goodness. She doesn't know we're moving to America for a bit." Laf's mouth fell open.

"You're coming here!" She smiled and nodded. Laf cried and hugged Nathaniel. "Oh I can't wait! You'll love it here. So will Adi. Are we keeping the house?" Laf's grandma passed away last year and they inherited all the money and house. She was loaded.

"Of course! I can't sell it, that's our childhood home. It'll be there for when we move back and if you guys visit."

"We can't wait to have you here Adri. Do you have a house yet?" She shook her head.

"No. I'm looking for one at the moment."

"You could always stay with us! We have an extra bedroom." Laf was so happy. You could hear the happiness in his voice.

"Thank you Gilly. Take care of Nathaniel, I have to go. Work calls."

"Bye Adrienne." We waved and Adi came in, blew a quick kiss, and left.

After we ended the call, Laf moved Nathaniel and cuddled against me. I played with the fluffy ends of his hair as he sat Nathaniel in his lap. I watched him play with the baby and Nathaniel giggled.

"Oh Herc, look at our son. Isn't he beautiful?" I kissed Laf before rubbing Nathaniel's head.

"He's more than beautiful. He's the most handsome baby ever. God, I love you guys so much. My beautiful family." I hugged them tighter. It was a nice silent moment until Laf held Nathaniel in the air. He pointed his little fingers at Laf's ponytail.

"Da-da." Laf looked at me and had tears in his eyes.

"What was that Nathaniel?"

"Dada! Dada! Dada!" I cried and so did Laf. His first word, Dada. I kissed Laf before taking Nathaniel and spinning him around making him laugh.

"Oh Nathaniel, I love you so much."

Alex's POV
We've been trying to get Phillip to walk all this time but all he does is stand up and fall over. At this rate, he'll be walking by the time his sibling comes.

We've tried everything. Walkers, food, toys, bottles. Nothing works. He'll just crawl, until today. I wasn't paying attention when I felt a small tug on my pant leg. I looked down and saw Phillip standing up.

"Phillip! Did you walk! Babe!" John came into the living room with a stack of papers.

"Yeah?" He looked down and saw Phillip. "Did he walk?" I nodded and John set his papers down and picked Phillip up. "Pip! You walked without telling us."

"Dada! Papa!" I kissed him and took him out of John's arms. "Dada!" His tiny baby hands touched my nose.

"Yes Pip, I'm dada. You walked! You're such a big boy. Before we know it you'll be off to college."

"Ssh, we mustn't think about that Lex. We want him to stay a little kid forever. Same thing with our future child." I sighed yet nodded. I didn't want my kids to grow up. I have to make the world safe and sound for them.

Baby Pip can walk and Baby Nathaniel can speak! If the government is spying on me they're probably looking at my search history and going "What the fuck?" I keep having to Google and ask my mom things about babies. It's not fun. Anyways enjoy this chapter I wrote during the fucking 6 snow days I've had in a row. Au revoir my beautiful turtles. 🐢❤
