Kongpob's Pov---------

"Uncle Wad, why are you walking funny ??"

Sammy asked as Wad practically limped into the kitchen to get a cup of coffee.

"I rode a horse, kiddo"

He grunted.

I nearly choked on my coffee, but managed to compose myself.

"Must have been some massive horse, brother !!"

I replied quietly.

"What did you say ??"

Wad asked, eyeing me carefully.

"Nothing, My brother dear...."

I smiled and turned towards the kids.

"Come on guys. We have got to go buy you some school supplies."

Both Robby and Sammy groaned.

"Don't give me that boys. At least Jenny made sure you both would be in the same class."

In Jenny's words... 'Having connections with the school principal came in handy.'

Robby took his plate to the sink.

"I hope we never have to visit the principal office. She is a little scary."

Sammy gulped, looking a little shaken.

"What about you, Miss Sophie ??"

I asked, wiping the sauce off her face.

"Are you ready for preschool ??"

She wrinkled her nose and shook her head.

"Can I stay home with you ??"

I smiled and rubbed our noses together.

"Why don't you try it out for a few days princess ?? You will make lots of friends there."

"What if I don't ??"

She asked.

"Then I will kidnap you, trust me !!"

I promised. That seemed to appease her, so she joined the boys and headed for the garage.

Before I was out of the house, Wad shouted,

"Hey Kong !! Pick up some mouse traps, will you ??"

I laughed quietly as I hurried to my car.

I don't think any of the kids were thrilled about shopping for school supplies. Sammy was walking on one side of me, Robby on the other, and Sophie was sitting in the shopping cart. I was glaring at the list in my hand.

"Why the hel... Hello kitty, do you need four boxes of tissue each ??"

I was getting better at converting the curse words, in the kids company. That's saving me a lot of money.

"The sniffles ??"

Sophie suggested.

I shrugged and threw the tissues in the cart. Arrhit was probably going to fuss that I was buying all of their stuff, but I planned to send Sammy with him and Robby to pick out school clothes in order to make up for it.

Sammy took his time picking out the perfect backpack.

"This is making me depressed."

I rolled my eyes at my son's dramatic behaviour.

"Maybe we should get some pizza after shopping."

He perked up instantly.

"The sooner you pick a bag, the sooner we can go"

He agreed and quickly grabbed a green one and dropped it in the cart. Robby had the same one in blue.

Just as I finished loading the shopping bags in my car trunk, I heard a vehicle pulling into a space behind me, honking...

"Fat Ass !!"

"Get in the car, kids... Hurry !!"

I shoved the cart aside and quickly helped Sophie into the backseat with the boys.

"KONGPOB SUTHILUCK !!"

Aim shouted.

"Do we owe him money ??"

Robby asked.

I put on my best innocent smile and turned around.

"Aim !! What a pleasant surprise !!"

He glared at me in return.

"You know what... Last night I was searching the streets, looking for a lucky lady to spend a wonderful evening with, when I saw this gorgeous brunette with killing curves in all the right places. I decided to get her attention, so I blew the horn..."

He held my face, gently between in his hands.

"Do you know what happened next, my dear friend ??"

"You both lived happily ever after ??"

I said.

His hands weren't so gentle anymore, but he wasn't hurting me.

"Gorgeous brunette threw a stiletto at me. Then she pulled out her red lipstick and wrote 'Douche bag' on my jeep's hood !! I was in complete shock. Luckily the guy behind me snapped me out of it. He blew his own horn and shouted for the 'Lady Aim' to get out the way !! I was wondering, Why the hell is everybody calling me Lady Aim ??"

"You are squeezing my face, Aim !!"

I said the best I could with the way he had my lips all puckered. I am sure it looked funny as hell.

"I am so going to get you Mistress K..."

He replied, fighting a smile. He was probably plotting something in his mind already.

"Papa ??"

Sammy peeked his head out the door.

"Do you need me to kick him for you ??"

Aim let go of me.

"No way !! This can't be your little squirt ?? You were in diapers the last time I saw you buddy !!"

"Sammy, this is my best friend Aim. Aim, this is Sammy."

I opened the door fully, so he could see everyone.

"And this is Robby and Sophie."

Sophie waved, but Robby didn't look happy.

"Nice to meet you all..."

Aim smiled before turning back to me.

"These kids, has saved your ass today Kongpob... I have got to get moving. I am on my lunch break. Watch your back, My. Dear. Best. Friend."

Aim smiled maniacly and kissed me loudly on the cheek, then waved to the kids, and ran off.

I shook my head and got in the car. He was such an ass.

At the pizza parlor, I gave the kids some change to play a few games. Sammy was helping Sophie with one when Robby came back. He sat down beside me.

"Kong ?? Do you like Mr. Aim ??"

"Sometimes, mostly he is annoying..."

I smiled, but then Robby's face fell a little, so I stopped.

"Robby, what's the matter ??"

"Nothing..."

He whispered, lowering his head.

I cupped his cheek with my hand, lifting his face a little.

"Tell me what's going on, kiddo. I don't like seeing you sad."

He hesitated a little.

"Please Robby, tell me..."

I pleaded.

"I thought you liked my dad..."

He finally admitted.

Ohhh...

"Robby, Aim is just my friend, like how you and Sammy are friends. Your dad is..."

Shit !! I was going to have to say it out loud.

"Your dad is my boyfriend..."

Robby smiled at that.

"I would really appreciate it if you wouldn't tell anyone I said that..."

Arhit was already a smug ass as it was.

"Can I tell Sammy ??"

He asked.

"Just Sammy !!"

I replied.

"Sophie cracks for cookies..."

Robby laughed at my expressions.

After lunch, I had to get home to get Sammy and I pack a bag. Sammy was going with Arthit, Bright and Knott on a camping trip while I will spend the night at Arthit's house with Sophie. She had a little cough and cold since morning, so she couldn't go out for the camping and I decided to stay with her. I figured we would end up eating junk food and watching cartoon shows.

When I reached there, Arthit was ready to leave, He and Robby were waiting for Sammy by the car. Sophie and I, waved at them as they speed out of the driveway.

After almost an hour later, Rachel showed up at the door step as Roger was out for some official work so she thought about spending the night with US. Later at night, Jenny and Noor joined us too, with their kids. I was feeling a little awkward, surrounded by all the females, related to Arthit.

I should have joined the boys, Sophie would be okay with her grandma and Aunt's. But I couldn't say NO to her puppy eyes and puckered lips.

Everything started out normally enough. We had a nice dinner together. Rachel had it catered, so none of us would have to cook. Then we moved to the living room. Sophie and Matt were having fun by watching cartoons and Leo was gurgling happily in his bassinet. We spend some some time with kids and soon they all dozed off, Sophie was passed out on my lap, carefully we settled kids in their beds.

All the ladies have decided to watch movies and who was I to deny the females.

Noor was complaining about stiff shoulders so Jenny volunteered to be the massager for her. Noor moaned loudly when Jenny started to roll her elbows on her shoulders.

"Ohhh... this feels so good Jenny"

Jenny smiled.

"I can understand you my dear, I was in your place last year, when Matt was this little... My body was aching all the time."

Noor hummed in reply.

Rachel asked me...

"Kong... Are you tired too ?? You were taking care of the kids all day long and Sophie tend to be clingy when she is sick !!"

"I am okay... Sammy is the same when he is sick. So it wasn't anything new to me"

"Do you need a massage too ?? You look stiff !!"

Rachel asked with a smirk.

Jenny snorted.

"Only Arthit can help with that."

"I have no idea what you guys are talking about"

I replied, avoiding the teasing smiles.

"Sexual tension, honey...."

Jenny said.

"I am surprised the two of you have lasted this long. I was all over Bright the night after we met."

There was no way this conversation could be good for me.

"I can relate with that..."

Said Noor.

"Knott and I did it, only a week after we met"

"Don't listen to them, Kong,"

Rachel added.

"I made Roger suffer... For months. Man now a days, are used to getting what they want... without any struggle. You should make Arthit work for it..."

"I am not trying to make him work for anything, I..."

I couldn't believe I was having this conversation with Arrhit's mother.

"I haven't had sex since the night Sammy was conceived. It's not something I can take lightly anymore. I am waiting for that right moment with Arthit, where I discover that no matter what happens, everything will be okay because we have each other."

Rachel smiled at me.

"I will be glad when you figure it out sweetheart, because you two are perfect for each other."

Jenny was stuck on something else.

"Oh my God !! That's like eight years Kong !!. Forget what his mom said. Jump on him now..."

I had to join in, as Noor laughed.

Once the movie was over, we ended up on the couch with some drinks in our hands.

"I wonder what they are up to right now..."

I was sure Sammy was having a good time with all of them.

"Let me guess... It's dark outside, so they are probably giving the kids a hard time. Anytime little ones are there those adults can't seem to help themselves"

Noor said with a sigh.

"What do you mean ??"

I asked, taking a sip of my fruity drink.

"They scare them every year. Bright lives for stuff like that"

Jenny explained.

I gave it some thought.

"What if this year he gets a taste of his own medicine ??"

They all looked at me... first confused, later intrigued. Noor immediately picked up her phone.

"I wanna join you guys too, I will call Leo's nanny. She will watch the babies."

"No need for that, I will stay with the kids. You all can go and have some fun"

Rachel replied.

I called for some help of my own.

Wad arrived moments later dressed in all black.

"I have got the fire extinguisher."

He informed me.

"Let's go..."

I replied, constructing a plan in my mind.

We all settled into my SUV and headed for the lake, leaving the kids with Rachel.

"We need to make sure Sammy and Robby know it's us. I don't want them to be scared,"

Noor said and we all agreed. We were going for the big boys, not the little ones.

I parked my car far enough away that they wouldn't be able to hear it. We crept quietly near the trails. We could hear the guys long before we could see them. Bright was in the middle of a scary story about the lake monster.

"How opposed are you ladies to getting wet ??"

Wad whispered.

Jenny and Noor smiled and walked towards the lake, after hearing my plan.

Wad got the extinguisher ready as Jenny and Noor snuck around the camp to get into the water. We waited patiently for Bright to finish his story. Both Robby and Sammy kept looking at the lake nervously.

"Don't worry, kids"

Arthit told them.

"The monster is afraid of fire. As long as the campfire burns, it will stay away."

He made our plan too perfect, unknowingly.

There was a loud shriek followed by a big splash. Knott immediately stood up.

"What was that ??"

There was another splash, causing the other two men to stand up as well.

Bright chuckled nervously.

"I am sure it's nothing..."

More splashing could be heard.

"Boys, stay here. We will go check it out..."

Arthit said to the kids calmly. The three of them, grabbed their flashlights and headed towards the lake.

That's when Wad and I made our move. Robby and Sammy jumped a little when we came out of the woods, but luckily they didn't scream. They could see our faces after all.

"Play along, boys"

I whispered, smiling at them.

"We are the lake monster tonight..."

Wad quickly put out the fire.

As we sprinted back into hiding, I could hear the boys yelling for help. They were very convincing.

"Shit !!"

Bright shouted as they run back.

"What the hell is going on ??"

"The fire went out !!"

Sammy said, sounding panicked.

"The lake monster is coming !!"

"I made that up, boys...there is no monster in the lake"

Bright argued.

There was another shriek and more splashing.

"Then what is that ??"

Robby asked hysterically.

"Those kids are damn good"

Wad whispered.

"I will find out what's going on,"

Knott said.

"Arthit, maybe you should stay with the boys and I will come with you Knott..."

Bright suggested.

"You can stay with the boys too,"

Knott replied, rolling his eyes before walking towards the lake.

Wad took off to help out the women. His footsteps couldn't be heard over Knott's sudden yelling. Bright looked panicked.

"Get the boys out of here Arthit !! I will go help Knott !!"

He took off to save his friend.

Arthit grabbed a kid under each of his arm and started for the trail.

That's when I stepped out in front of him.

"Where are you going, Arthit ??"

This made him panic even more.

"Kong !! We have got to..."

Then he realized what was going on.

"It was You !!"

He growled.

"Hi Mom !!"

Sammy grinned at me.

"Great job, guys !!"

I said as Arthit put the boys down.

"Who is in the lake ??"

Arthit pointed back, towards the lake.

I laughed.

"I am guessing Noor and Jenny have knocked your hulk like friend in the lake and Wad must have got there in time to help with Bright, after he put out the fire"

Arthit's mouth was opening and closing, without any words.

"It's what you guys get, for trying to scare my boys."

I let out a shriek of my own when Arthit threw me over his shoulder.

"Now, I am introducing you to the lake monster, Suthiluck..."

Arthit said.

"Rojnapat !! You better put me down"

I warned, but I knew there was no use.

All the yelling had been replaced by laughing as the others were wrestling each other in the lake. Arthit jumped in, taking us both right in the middle of it all. Wad managed to get free and snuck off with the boys to roast some marshmallows.

"You should have seen the look on your face..."

Jenny teased Bright.

"You were supposed to be having pillow fights at home, with kids"

He replied, pulling her to him.

"We were betrayed by our partners"

Knott said.

"Awwww, we will make it up to you later, honey"

Noor promised.

"But right now we have got a sleepover to get back to. Rachel is waiting for us..."

She kissed him, before running out of the water.

The all were good sports and walked us back to my car. Wad was eating marshmallows as we went. He was nice enough to share with others once we got in the vehicle.

"What are the chances of them getting us back ??"

Jenny asked.

"Tonight ?? Slim to none..."

I answered.

"However, I am sure they will be planning something for the next camp trip"

Noor smiled,

"We will be ready for them..."

When we got back to the house, we all got dried off and ready for bed. Wad was in a hurry to get home for some reason. I knew very well what it is, so I warned him to stay out of trouble.

"Where would be the fun in that, big brother ??"

He asked smiling. If he was really planning another encounter with Prem, I hope they ended up at his house this time.

I ended up sleeping in Arrhit's bedroom. His mother gave me permission to go through his stuff, so I took her up on it and wear his clothes. I couldn't help myself sniffing them, Ahhh... He smelled so good.

"You look good in Arthit's clothes Kong "

I jumped at Rachel's voice. I hadn't heard her come in.

"You scared me..."

I breathed, sitting down on the bed.

"I am sorry for that"

She came over with a soft smile and sat next to me.

"I wanted to talk to you about Arthit, if you are okay with that"

She told me seriously, I nodded my head in agreement.

"I never interfered with my kid's personal life. I never asked Krist anything about Sherry, though I never liked that girl. If it wasn't for Robby and Sophie, I would rather she'd never been a part of my family. Arthit too, had a girlfriend in high school, but she cheated on him and I know she was the reason he went to study abroad. After... After Krist was gone.... Arthit tried to settle down for the sake of finding the kids a mom, but let's face it, his choices were horrendous... Because he was never interested in them for himself, he was only trying to find a mother for Robby and Sophie"

She took my hand in her's then.

"You are the first person he seems to like for himself. After so long... I am seeing him smiling so freely. My grandchildren adore you, and my son can't get enough of you. It may be strange how quickly this is all happening, but I am really happy that you and Sammy have become a part of our family."

This was so awkward for me. My mother and I didn't have many close moments like this.

"It doesn't bother you that I write erotica and swear like a sailor ??"

"Your books have improved my sex life too, Kong. I didn't even know that was possible"

Rachel admitted with a teasing smile.

I smiled back.

"You people are crazy..."

She nodded,

"That's why you fit in so well Kongpob."

She stood up to leave.

"I know you have to be careful, but I promise you, you won't find a better man for you and Sammy than my son. His momma raised him right"

She winked before walking out.

"Sleep well, Kong."

As I burrowed myself into Arrhit's bed, I thought about it. I didn't want to imagine a life without the Rojnapats and their friends, without Robby and Sophie, without Arthit. I spent most of my life wondering if I would ever be able to give Sammy the type of family he deserved, and the most perfect one just fell in my lap. I would be pretty damn stupid to push them away.

The door creaked open once again, so I rolled over to look who is it this time ??

Sophie was peeking her head through the half open door, her nose were a little red and she looked like she had a bad dream.

"Kong ??"

I smiled and walked towards her to pull her in my arms.

"Hey princess..."

"Can I sleep with you ??"

She asked. I walked back and sat on  the bed and pulled the covers aside. She dove under the covers.

"Are you comfy ??"

I asked as I pulled the blankets over us. She nodded while yawning. I smiled again and kissed her forehead.

"Sweet dreams, My little princess"

She snuggled into my side, so I put my arm around her.

"I love you, Kong, soooo much"

She whispered.

I whispered back,

"I love you too, Sophie... Soooo much"
