Dimitri's POV:

"Anything else you need me to help you kitten?" I asked as I sticked the blown up balloons against the wall once I've completed inflating them.

"Can you help me fry the breaded cheese sticks and the buffalo wings?" He requested as he poured the batter into the cupcake cases.

"Sure thing love." I gave him a peck on his cheek before heating up the oil.

"How long more do we have?" I looked up to the clock to see that it's 5 already.

"Around a hour." I slipped the breaded cheese sticks into the pan, hearing them sizzle as the light scent of rosemary filled the air.

"Good enough for the food to be done." He clapped in relief and set the cupcakes to bake before stirring the clam chowder and boiling the water for the pasta.

"Hi mum, hi dad." We greeted in union as they walked in wide eyed at all the ballons.

"Hi boys. How's the baby?" Dad asks as he stared at kitten's bump in amusement.

"The baby's well dad." Kitten replied with a smile on his face as dad patyed his shoulder firmly.

"Good to hear that."

"Come here my babies!" Mum ran over before pulling me and kitten into her arms, placing a kiss on each of our cheeks. "When can I know my grandbaby's gender?!" She asked excitedly as she bounced eagerly on the spot.

"Soon mum. Now let's go and eat. Ray made a huge spread for us." She nodded enthusiastically before placing another kiss on Ray's cheek before bouncing off into the kitchen while dragging dad with her.

"She's...energetic." Ray commented once she's out of sight making me chuckle.

"I know. Shall we get you and our babies some food now?"

"You bet. I'm starving."

"Let's go tiger." He raised his eyebrow at my words as we entered the dining room.

"So now I'm a tiger?" I shrugged. I can't choose whether tiger or kitten suits him more.

"These look awesome Ray! Ryan can't stop salivating at them." Mum praised kitten's cooking once she saw him enter.

"What?! Me? Speak for yourself miss." Dad shot mum a dirty look making her elbow him hard in the ribs.

"Shut up or you're sleeping outside for a week." She threatened without hesitation, making him surrender to her immediately.

"She's right you know. Your dishes look so appetising, I can't wait to try them." Kitten's eyes lit up at dad's words, seemingly not catching what they said before.

"Please tuck in then dad and mum. I hope you'll like it." They grinned widely before digging in quickly and moaning with every mouth they took.

"Don't need to hope son, we are in love with your cooking since the first time you cookes for us. We even wanted to kidnap you to be our cook instead of Dim's but he'll most probably haul you back the next moment." She joked as kitten laughed along with her. She was joking...right?

"I'm willing to cook for you all anytime you want. I love seeing the smiles on the faces when people eat my food."

"Told you we should have kidnapped him." Dad huffed as he crossed his arms like a child. Wait...so she wasn't joking.

"I-"

"Enough!" They all went silent immediately as they stared blankly at me. "I don't need you two discussing about kidnapping my husband."

"Chill son. We're joking...not." Dad chortled as he bit into the cheese stick. "Fuck, this is delicious."

"I'm sorry Ray that you have to marry such a possessive ass. He must have hypnotised you right, you poor child." I rolles my eyes at mum's words as she sent kitten a pitiful look.

"I think he did do so mum. What should I do now?" He pouted adorably. Wait, he ganged up with them!

"How can you side them kitten?! I'm your husband." He grinned playfully before faking innocence.

"Are you?"

"I'm hurt." I place my hands over my chest while fake crying.

"Awww...don't cry Dimi. You know that I love you despite how dramatic you are."

"And I love you too kitten." He blushed lightly as my parents awed at his nickname.

"Okay okay. Let's just eat."

Ray's POV:

"Why do have to cut the cupcake with a knife?" Dad asked curiously as he stared at the cupcake in front of him.

"Just do it Ryan. It definitely has to do with our grandbaby." Mum shut him up immediately as they cut the cupcake into half simultaneously.

"12?" They stared at us quizzically as Dim and I held back a laugh. "You'll get it soon. Come over." Dim beckoned them over to the living room where all the balloons are hanged.

"Who wants to reveal the gender?"

"I'll let her do it. I'm a gentleman and I am not looking forward to sleeping on the couch." Mum stuck out her tongue at him but kissed him nonetheless before taking the pin from Dim.

"So all I have to do is aim at the black balloon?" I nodded at her words as she focused on the balloon before throwing the pin at it.

*bang!* blue confetti flew out once the balloon burst, making them stare at each other with tears in their eyes.

"It's a boy!" Dad cheered as he fist pumped the air in joy. Mum smiled brightly while wiping her tears away but her expression soon changed into one of realisation.

"12...do you guys mean 1 and 2 and they're both boys?!" We nodded together, causing her to scream in excitement as she jumped on dad. "We're having two grandbabies!!!"

"I know! Dim, from now on, you're going to be the one cooking and cleaning and taking care of Ray. I do not expect him doing any work. Got it?" Dim's eyes shot wide open at Mum's words resulting a snicker to escape my mouth. The last time he did that, I burst into a hormonal mess. Sorry not sorry.

"Yeah...if he allows." Dim said hesitantly as he stared at me fearfully. Come on, I don't bite. The most that will happen is a chair flying down the hall or eggs on his hair...its nothing bad really.

"Of course I do." I smirked at his  glare as mum gave him a long list of do's and don't's. Let's see who he'll listen to.
