*Tyler and Korey go on a much needed date night and Troye comes over to watch the kids! Thank you so much to BrianBadgerMay for helping me write this! Archer and Sparrow are 7 1/2 years old and Hazel is 6 months old in this chapter! Enjoy! ❤️*

"Mom! Archer won't give me a turn on the game!" Sparrow says in annoyance.

"Yes, I did! You just lost so it's my turn to play now!" Archer says as he happily plays the Mario game.

"You two need to learn to share or play the game at different times." Tyler says as he changes Hazel's diaper and gets her redressed.

"Aaaa! Aaaa!" Hazel babbles loudly as she happily looks up at Tyler.

"Hi, baby girl! Hi! You are so happy after your nap." Tyler says in a babyfied voice, kissing Hazel's cheek as he picks her up off of the changing table.

Hazel is now a happy almost six month old while the twins are seven and a half years old!

"Hi, Hazey! Hi!" Sparrow says in a babyfied voice at his baby sister, causing Hazel to smile at Sparrow.

"Aww, she is smiling at you, Spare!" Tyler says as Sparrow smiles and gives Hazel a kiss.

"Let's all go downstairs! Dad is coming over shortly!" Tyler says as he, Hazel and Sparrow all leave Hazel's nursery and Archer leaves his bedroom.

"Yay!" Archer says with lots of excitement.

For the past almost two weeks, Troye has been busy with work so he hasn't seen the boys until tonight. Archer and Sparrow are excited to see their Dad!

Tyler, Hazel, Archer and Sparrow all walk downstairs and walk into the living room together.

*Hazel, Archer and Sparrow's outfits*

"Dad is coming over? For a sleep over?" Sparrow asks Tyler curiously. 

"He might spend the night! I'm not sure yet! But he is going to stay with you three while Korey and I go out to eat and have a date night." Tyler says to Sparrow and Archer.

"That's so cool!" Sparrow says happily.

"Everyone needs a date night sometimes." Archer agrees with a grin.

Hazel plays with her hands and looks around at all of the things in the living room.

"I think she wants a toy, Mom!" Sparrow mentions and hands his baby sister a toy rattle, which she happily chews on.

"Good job observing, Sparrow. You guys are great big brothers." Tyler praises both Sparrow and Archer.

After ten more minutes, the front door knocks, and Tyler goes to answer it while the twins talk with Hazel and show her flashcards.

"A B C D E F G! H I J K L M N O P! Q R S! T U V! W X! Y and Z!" Archer sings to Hazel and Hazel babbles happily as she chews on her rattle.

Hazel sits in Sparrow's lap and he gives her lots of kisses. Archer also gives Hazel some kisses.

"Hey, Ty! What's up?" Troye asks Tyler as he hugs Tyler.

"Hey Troye! Thanks for coming to watch the kids for Korey and I." Tyler says to Troye.

"You're welcome! It's not watching them, I'm two of the kids dad you know." Troye says playfully to Tyler as Crouton greets him.

"I know, but still I appreciate it. Especially watching Hazel since she is only six months. And nothing much! Just waiting for Korey to get ready! We accidentally took a nap with Hazel earlier."  Tyler says as he chuckles.

Troye chuckles too and smiles. Crouton jumps up on Troye and Troye pets him. 

"Crouton, down! You don't jump." Tyler says to Crouton sternly.

Crouton stays down and wags his tail excitedly.

"Hi, boys! Hello, Hazel!" Troye says to the kids.

"Hi, Dad!" Archer and Sparrow say back to their dad.

Hazel looks up at Troye and just babbles, then
picks up some stacking cup toys that were also from her Kiwi Co box.

"We're gonna have so much fun," Archer
comments. "Even with Hazel."

"Oh, yes, she's in the phase of being interested by people now." Tyler adds.

"Hi, princess! I saw you two weeks ago and you look even bigger! Growing so fast! She looks just like her Dad." Troye says as Tyler smiles.

"I keep telling Korey she is his twin but he is in denial of course. She literally is the exact image of him as a baby except she has my eye color." Tyler says as she picks up Hazel from Sparrow's lap and holds her, giving her some more kisses.

"Remember Uncle Troye? You haven't seen him in a while because you are usually napping when he picks up your brothers." Tyler says in a babyfied voice as Hazel babbles.

Hazel tries to grab Troye's necklace and babbles.

"You like my necklace? It's pretty, huh?" Troye says Hazel babbles back.

Tyler hands Hazel to Troye and Troye happily holds her.

"I'm glad she likes me, at least." Troye chuckles, lifting the baby up high in the air and bringing her back down as he coos.

Hazel giggles and puts her hand in her mouth
with a cheeky grin.

Troye was more comfortable, to say the least,
around babies now that he wasn't so young and having his own newborns. The boys were very independent and fun to be around.

Korey walks downstairs as he's finally ready, and he smiles at everyone.

"Hi, Troye! Thanks again for coming over. I see you get along with Hazel fine already." Korey says to Troye as he hugs him.

"Hello! And yeah, she's not crying or anything. Very social." Troye says back.

Troye then sits down on the couch next to Archef and Sparrow with Hazel in his lap.

"You look beautiful, Korey," Tyler says with adoration and gives his boyfriend a kiss.

"You do too, Ty." Korey tells him happily.

'"Ew, kissing!" Archer and Sparrow giggle.

"Also, what are we eating for dinner, Dad?" Archer questions Troye.

"Whatever you guys want to eat! It doesn't matter to me!" Troye says as he continues to hold Hazel in his arms.

"How about sushi? I know a good place to order from!" Sparrow offered Troye.

"I love sushi! Maybe Hazel will try some!" Archer says and thinks about what kind he'd like to eat.

"Oh, no, Archie. She's too little for chewing most solid foods right now since she only has a tooth. And raw fish wouldn't be good for her. She drinks lots of milk right now." Korey explains.

Troye looked a bit confused, it seemed odd for
not even preteens to have a taste for sushi.

"You guys really do eat differently here in California, don't you?" Troye asks playfully.

"Korey and I got sushi a few weeks back and the boys tried it and seem to like it!" Tyler says with a grin.

Korey smiles at Tyler and wraps his arm around him before kissing him.

"Love birds! Ew!" Troye says playfully to Tyler and Korey.

"Ewww!" Archer and Sparrow both copy Troye, causing Troye to laugh.

"Aaaaaa!" Hazel squeals happily, causing everyone to smile.

"Okay, we should head to the restaurant now. Bye, guys! See you later!" Tyler laughs, waving to Archer, Sparrow and Hazel before giving them kisses.

Korey waves goodbye to Archer, Sparrow and Hazel before giving Hazel many kisses and Archer and Sparrow hugs.

"Bye you two!" Troye says, and the boys both say it after.

"Baaaaa!" Hazel yells, making her big brothers laugh.

As Tyler and Korey leave, Archer goes and gets the menu from the sushi place they liked, reading it.

"You are hungry growing boys it seems. Maybe
you'll grow into bears." Troye jokes with the boys and Sparrow laughs.

"No, not bears. But we are hungry!" Sparrow says answers.

Hazel babbles loudly as she sits in Troye's lap.

"Are you hungry too madam? Let's see if Mommy and Daddy have some bottles for you!" Troye says as he and Hazel walk over to the kitchen and look in the fridge.

"Mmm, some bottles! Let's heat one up!" Troys says to Hazel and Hazel babbles loudly.

Troye carefully heats up Hazel's bottle while Sparrow and Archer look at the sushi menu.

"Dad, can we get Chinese food instead?" Sparrow asks Troye.

"Yeah! I'm not in the mood for sushi actually! Chinese food sounds really yummy though!" Archer says with a grin.

"Whatever you guys want to have!" Troye says as he and Hazel come back with a bottle.

The three of them order their dinner, meanwhile, Korey and Tyler have arrived at the restaurant and have been seated.

"it's so nice to get out. And get some quality time." Korey says with a smile.

"It really is." Tyler agrees, giving Korey a kiss.

"I love you so much." Korey says softly to Tyler and Tyler blushes.

"And I love you too!" Tyler says as he giggles and smiles.

A waiter comes over and smiles at the couple,
holding a tablet to take their order.

"Hello! My name is Elton, what can I get for you tonight?" Elton asks.

"Um, I'd like the Cobb salad, please. With
dressing on the side. Waters for is both, too. Thank you." Korey replies.

"And I'd like the chicken and waffles, please. And could I get some strawberries with it, please?" Tyler asks.

"Sure thing! No problem." Elton answers cheerfully.

"Thank you!" Tyler says as their waiter walks
away.

"That's a weird combo!" Korey says playfully to Tyler.

"I've been on a strawberry kick!" Tyler says as he giggles.

Korey looks curious, knowing that being on
certain food kicks could be a sign of pregnancy, but he doesn't think much of it, since Hazel is only half a year old.

Tyler looks lovingly into his boyfriend's eyes,
already having a great time.

Korey blushes and holds Tyler's hand, "we're like kids who've never been on a date, aren't we?" Tyler laughs.

"Yes, we kinda are. That's what happens when
you get busy with children, you give up some of your attention." Tyler agrees.

A lady puts the cups of water down at the table, telling them the food will be right out.

"Can I have some more kisses, please?" Korey
asks sweetly.

"Of course, handsome." Korey says as he kisses Tyler a few times.

"I wonder what Hazel, Archer, Sparrow and Troye are doing." Tyler says with a grin.

"I'm sure they are playing video games or something." Korey says as he chuckles

"You know how much they love that. But I'm glad they don't hate Hazel." Tyler speaks quietly.

"Oh, jealousy is very normal for little kids. But I
think they just had a phase, they love her and adore her now! And they also don't know that six month olds can't eat meat yet.." Korey
says and smiles.

The waiter, Elton, comes back over and sets their food down carefully,

"Enjoy, guys. Let me know if you need anything else." Elton says happily.

"Thanks again." Tyler says and takes some bites of his food.

"Thank you!" Korey says to Elton.

"Kor, this is so good. Wanna try?" Tyler offers
cheekily.

"Sure!" Korey says as he opens his mouth and Tyler feeds him a bite.

"Mmm, that's good babe. Wanna try mine?" Korey asks Tyler.

"Of course, thank you!" Tyler says and then his boyfriend feeds him a bite of salad.

Both men giggle and blush, and they continue
eating their food.

"I had a wild dream last night." Tyler says to Korey.

"What's that?" Korey asks Tyler.

"I dreamt that we were having another baby." Tyler says as he chuckles and smiles. 

"Oh gosh! Does that mean we might be having a new baby soon?" Korey asks Tyler playfully.

"I doubt it! My cycle hasn't been consistent since Hazel's been born." Tyler says and Korey nods.

"Would you want another baby?" Tyler asks, curious about the answer because Korey and Tyler haven't really talked about how many kids they would want to have.

"Of course! I would love another baby, whenever that happens." Korey says with a grin.

"But cycles can be inconsistent, I think birth may have changed that." Tyler adds.

Tyler smiles back, and he thinks about how many kids he had wanted, but he never would've expected more than three.

'I think I would too, how cute would it be for
Hazel to be a big sister?" Tyler agrees, feeling happy about the idea.

"That would be cute, and clearly, the boys love having a sibling already." Korey mentions.

"Archer and Sparrow are close because they are twins. I want Hazel to have someone to be close to, you know? I know Archer, Sparrow and Hazel will probably be close once Hazel is older but that's different, you know?" Tyler says and Korey nods.

"That would be cute. Hazel to have a side kick just like Archer and Sparrow are each other sidekick." Korey says to Tyler.

"Exactly. They're seven years older than her, and it would be nice for Hazel to have someone at least one or two years younger than her." Tyler agrees, giving Korey another kiss.

Korey kisses back and the waiter comes back to take their empty dishes.

"Would you two like any dessert?" The waiter Elton asks Tyler and Korey.

"Sure! Do you have any ice cream?" Tyler asks Elton.

"Yes we do!" Elton says with a grin.

Both men giggle and blush, and they think about which ice cream to get.

"You pick, babe! I suck at picking." Tyler says as he laughs.

"Oh, okay! Can we have a scoop of caramel, and one of non-dairy chocolate, please? I'm interested to try a vegan ice cream," Korey orders politely with a grin.

"Coming right up!" Elton says with a grin as he leaves the table.

"Vegan ice cream is really good. I love it but I never get it because the boys hate it." Tyler says as he and Korey both chuckle.

"Maybe they need to try a different kind. I don't think I've ever tried vegan ice cream." Korey says and smiles.

"Maybe. It is less rich, though, so it doesn't make you feel as full. They even make Ben and Jerry's flavors vegan, I've tried a few." Tyler replies.

"That does sound good." Korey agrees.

"It is! I love vegan stuff. I managed to feed the boys some vegan meals and they don't know it's vegan. Shhh don't tell them." Tyler says with a giggle.

"Oh I won't!" Korey says with a grin.

"A good way to get their veggies in as well." Tyler comments and he and Korey continue sharing their dessert.

After a while, they pay the bill and get into the
car.

"I had a great time out with you, babe." Tyler says lovingly.

"Me too, it was amazing." Korey nods.

"I bet Hazel will be so happy to see us, the boys too, but she's starting to grow into her separation anxiety phase." Korey tells Tyler, humming in content.

"I'm sure she is! Poor girly. The boys never really got that. I don't know if it's because they are twins or because they went to Troye's for a few hours a few days a week. Troye and I wanted to make sure the boys were happy ans used to both houses whenever. Sometimes I had lots of work to do and other times Troye had to do studio sessions and shows." Tyler says to Korey.

"I remember those days. You cried like a baby when you dropped them off to Troye's because you were scared Troye wouldn't know what to do." Korey says with a chuckle.

"I didn't know what I was doing either! But I was older then him! Troye was only nineteen!" Tyler says playfully with a chuckle.

Korey nods in agreement and the two keep talking as they drive back. Ten more minutes later, they've arrived.

Tyler opens the door and they both walk in,
immediately greeted by Hazel and Crouton.

The dog barks and happily wags his tail.
'"Mama ma! Daaa da!" Hazel says excitedly,
reaching over for her parents eagerly, from
Archer, who was holding her.

"Hello, baby girl! Hi, boys!" Tyler says to the kids.

"Hi, Mom! Hi, Uncle Korey!" Archer and Sparrow both say.

Archer brings his little sister over and hands her to Korey so she doesn't get upset.

"How were they all?" Tyler asks Troye.

"They were good! We all got something to eat, not sushi, the boys changed their minds. And then we played outside for a while and now we have just been watching baby YouTube videos with Hazel." Troye says with smile before he yawns.

"Aww, that's great. Sounds like it went well. You look sleepy, Troye." Korey says and smiles back.

"I am a bit sleepy, but I'm okay." Troye agrees.

"Hazel only cried once, and we got her calmed
down fast." Sparrow told Tyler.

"Yeah, she likes watching those color videos. And the song ones!" Archer says too.

"Good, I think she likes your dad." Tyler replies.

"Yeah! She loves Dad! What would Hazel call him, Mom?" Archer asks Tyler.

"Uncle Troye! Just like I'm Uncle Korey." Korey says with a grin.

Troye, Tyler, Korey, Archer, Sparrow and Hazel all hang out for a few more hours before Troye heads home!

Tyler and Korey both really enjoyed their romantic date night :)
