"No! No! No!" Shadow pulled at his hair, "I said flowers on the left! Not the right! What if he's allergic?" John held up the sunflowers, examining them and looked back at Shadow. "I-I don't think he is?" Shadow growled out in frustration before snapping his fingers at Felix. "Daaad! So help me, Satan! If you stash those condoms under the plates one more time!"

Felix pouted, currently hovering over the dinner plate with a couple of condoms before obeying his son and put the condoms away. Mike walked into the room, "So.. do you still want me to put the snacks out or?" Shadow groaned before turning to him. "Yes! After dinner we're gonna watch a movie! Make sure the popcorn is on his left and the drinks are on the right. He always eats popcorn first before drinking soda!"

Mike furrowed his eyebrows in confusion before opening his mouth, looking to retort. Shadow squinted his eyes at him, "Just do it! Please!" He pointed at him. Mike shrugged before walking back into the living room.

Shadow took a few calming breathes before looking at Nat. He was currently fixing up the table cloth and perked up when he saw Shadow looking at him. Shadow stared at him for a bit before opening his mouth, "Pa? You're doing great. Thank you" Nat smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

"Hey!" Felix shouted, "How come he gets a compliment, but we get chewed out?!" John nodded, still holding the sunflower pot. Shadow turned to them, anger in his eyes, "Because he's the only one that actually listens to me!!" He shouted, stomping his foot.

Just then Michael Jr. came in. He yawned, rubbing his face, "Okay. I think you need to chill" Shadow turned to him immediately, "I don't need to chill! You need to chill!!" Michael sighed before grabbing a hold of his little brother and smiled sweetly at him. "Shadow. Amelio's arriving in 10 minutes. Everything is in place, but you left out one important detail" he chuckled softly at the intense panic in his eyes. "You forgot to kick us out of the house" Shadow punched him in the stomach, making Michael groan out in pain, but still managed a laugh out.

John hid behind the pot when Shadow pointed a gray finger at him. "You! Take your husbands out for dinner!" John nodded rapidly making Felix huff out. "Shadow-" Shadow death glared Felix down, making them jump back and grab onto John's arm. "Okay! Okay! We're going! We're going!" They pushed John out of the kitchen. Shadow flinched a bit as a hand was placed on his shoulder. Nat smiled softly at him and gave a kiss to his cheek, "Don't stress, honey. Amelio already loves you" Shadow felt his face flush replying with a, "Mm."

Nat hummed softly before following after John and Felix.

Michael rubbed at his stomach before smiling at him. "See? You just needed to chill" Shadow grabbed a knife from his dinner plate set before holding it up towards him. "Get out" Michael put his hands up, laughing before running out.

Shadow breathed a sigh of relief before setting the knife back beside the plate, making sure it's aligned together with the other dinner plate, he finally sat down and relaxed, waiting for Amelio to come.

Amelio groaned and flicked the crumbs off his shirt. "My shirt! Damn you peanut butter sandwich!" He held up his sandwich before taking another bite. "Yum"

Jerry walked in to see Amelio finishing up his sandwich and gasped. "You're not going like that are you?!" Amelio looked at him, licking the peanut butter off his shirt. "Yeah. Why?" He asked muffled. Jerry groaned and rubbed at his temples. "You are definitely your dad's child." He inhaled before glaring straight at him. "No. You are not wearing that. You are going to wear something more presentable" Amelio shrugged. "I don't know what else to wear"

Jerry grinned at him before grabbing his arm and pulled him into his room. "Let's see if your Father's suit still fits you!" Jerry said excitedly before throwing Amelio on his bed and looked immediately into their closet. Amelio bounced on the bed before sitting up, "Jeez Mom! You sure seem excited." Jerry deadpanned at him. "You're giving me total control over what you wear. I'm gonna make you look beautiful!!!" He grinned. "Now what are we feeling? Lace or Cloth?" He held up a suit and a lace dress. Amelio squinted at the clothing, giving it much thought. "Lace is tempting, but I'll go with the suit" Jerry squealed happily before giving him the suit. "Hurry up and change then!"

Amelio pouted before taking it. "Fine... where do I change?" Jerry deadpanned before pointing at the bathroom. Amelio made an "oh" sound before heading towards the bathroom.
