"So what flavor do you want to order my darling?" Daddy asks while looking at me. My eyes fell on all the ice cream in display and then look at him to say what I like.

"I want what my Mommy's favorite and that's strawberry and vanilla." I said. His face lift up and immediately told to the lady cashier my order and his.

And If you're asking where my three brothers are, well they followed us here and ordered some ice cream too.

But my Daddy strictly told them to stay away because it's our date, so they have no other choice but sit to other table while looking at us with hint of sadness.

I waved my hand at them and all of them smile at me but stop and averted their eyes abruptly when Daddy shoot them glare.

"Don't be meany Daddy." I pout but he just shrug and started to eat his chocolate ice cream.

"I am not being meany with them, but this supposed to be our date, so your attention should be mine only, my sweet child." He said in different tone that made me giggles.

"Okay, I'm all yours Daddy." I replied and scoop some ice cream from my bowl and put it on his mouth. His eyes grew bigger dramatically and I couldn't help but laugh again.

"Hmm, Wow! it's so delicious, now I know why it's your Mommy's favorite." He said.

"Yes." I replied that even she's not here right now, her memories will always lives on.

And because I love my brothers and can't bear to see them sulking on the other table, I tried to persuade my father to let them join us, and in the end his strong defiance finally have broken because I used my puppy dog eyes.

The three couldn't contain their happiness when Daddy asks them to join us.

But if you think that was all.

Definitely No!

Because few minutes later, Ari, Jade and Diony walk in and come straight to our table like they knew that we're here.

I heard Daddy mumble incoherent words under his breath before he glanced at Rosy and the twins.

"Fine! I told them okay? Sorry Dad but it's really unfair that you took our sister." Rosy told to my father who just shook his head in the end, because he knew that he will never win.

The three late comers, congratulate me. Poly confessed that he told them about my presentation, and they requested me to show the letter, so that they can read it too.

I asked then my father who handed the letter to them with proud smile on his lips.

After they were done reading it, their eyes brimmed with tears but smile follows immediately.

"This letter I think is the most beautiful, full of heartfelt emotion that I've ever read in my entire life, Bambina. Are you sure father that she's just six?" Ari turned his gaze at my father whose smile never falter.

"Goddess little one, I think you're way more better as a writer than the twins." Diony stated and his praise made the twins groan in disagreement.

Jade on the hand was speechless and that's because she's crying.

Ari tried to calm her down but she said that she's alright.

"I am sorry for being dramatic, it's just that I never experience those things." She whispered to Ari, and suddenly my heart cry for her.

I didn't want to make her feel sad so the only reason that I could do is to hug her and say comforting words that will help her to calm down.

Soon, Jade smile again and each one of my brothers started to share their happiest moment that earn giggles from me and her, even Daddy chuckles at them while wiping his tears away.

And because we were so happy, we didn't notice that the sun started to set and Daddy said that it's time for us to go home.

After he paid the cashier and gave them some tips, Daddy took my hand as we walk together again towards our car.

Ari, Jade and Diony were in shock once they realized that he can walk again, and their happiness can't hide.

Ari and Jade gave Daddy a hug while tears running down on their faces.

Diony was still stiffened that if I didn't tug the hem of his shirt, he won't return back from his daze.

"Dad I truly can't explain my feelings right now, but one thing for sure is I'm ecstatic. Every night I pray for this and now here you are, standing and can walk again." Diony said while wiping his tears. Dad embraced him and said that we are his inspiration to never give up, and my eyes became teary when he looked at me with so much love.

His strong arms lifted me up and pressed my body against his chest that I love so much.

"And my biggest motivation is my Luna." He announced, while everyone started to tease me, turning my cheeks to red in the process.

And I could say, that today was one of the best moment of my life that I will never forget.

🍇🍇

Glancing at my watch, I smile, because I still have time to pass at the animal shelter.

Well, I am planning to get a dog, not for me, but for my baby sister Luna.

She told me one time that she likes dog specially the big one.

So after putting the address of the nearest Animal shelter on my GPS, my lips couldn't stop from smiling because I know how happy she will be once she gets my surprise for her tonight.

After few minutes of driving, I immediately pull up at the front of the shelter and get out.

"Hello Sir, what can I do for you?" The middle age lady asks and I smile because it's my first time to come here and seeing her smiling at me helps me to feel good.

"Hi Ma'am, well I'd like to adopt a dog for my sister." I said and her eyes glint with happiness and ushered me to come inside to see all the dogs that they have.

"What about this one?"

"Oh! that one is a German Shepherd and it's a male." She also added that he's 16 weeks old and very playful. And when I looked at the dog's eyes, I knew that he's meant to be part of our family.

"Perfect, I would like to take him." I told her and immediately, she prepares all the necessary papers that I need to sigh before paying the adoption fees.

She gave me some dog's accessories too like bed, balls and chew toys, food bowl and leash as well as wet and dry food and some treats. And I am so happy because everything was perfect.

Once I put all his things on my car, he has been released from his crate and directly run to me, and to my astonishment.

"Hello, buddy. Ready to come home?" I asked and I smile because he let out a low whine while wagging his tail.

"Ow! you must be very excited, huh?" I cooed like an idiot but I don't care as I'm very excited to bring him home too.

"Thank you Ma'am." I told her as she gave me her sweetest smile before I tug him gently towards my car.

After our family's 'ice cream date' my heart started to beat in unusual pace, because in an hour, at our dinner, I'm gonna introduce to the family my boyfriend.

And I'm freaking out.

I know that they will accept him but I couldn't help but feel anxious, and I ask myself if this is normal?

But I was cut off for thinking too much when my phone rings and Lucas name flashes on the screen.

I immediately answer his call and he told me that he's ready and like me, he feels so nervous too. But as his boyfriend, I have to boost his confidence and said that we're gonna be fine.

After I said goodbye and cut the line, I finally went to my bathroom to have a quick shower.

After few minutes, I am ready.

Lucas said that he's coming right now so instead to go at the dining, my legs direct me to the main door to wait for him.

But he's there already.

I chuckle lowly because he looks so tense as he cracking his knuckles. The mannerism that he does everytime he's getting anxious.

"Hey, honey." I whispered once I met his eyes. His eyes flash and I gulp some air because he looks so mesmerizing. His deep set grey eyes pierced through my soul that make my knees weak.

"Hi Baby." He huskily said before giving me a kiss on my cheek. We are on same height but sometimes I feel like small whenever he used that tone on me.

"Nervous?" I ask while we stare at each other.

Ofcourse he is, but sometimes I need to ask the obvious to confirm.

"Yeah, I thought I woudn't, but thinking that I might grill by your father, four brothers —- so yeah, it's nervous wracking." He replied with a smile. So to lessen his tension, I quickly grab his hand and intertwined it with mine.

"They will do that as usual because they are my family, but they will never ask you something that will makes you feel uncomfortable. We love each other and I think that's enough proof for them to accept this—- us." I said before I usher him to come inside the house.

"Let's go?" I told him as he nods his head.

We walk with our hands together and the more we're getting closer to the dining room, the more I could feel the abnormal pace of my heart.

So, before we walk in, I let out a deep breath and pressed his hand gently.

And there they are, sitting at each end of the table was my father and Ares. Delilah on left side of Ares, then the twins, while Luna sat on my father's right side while Eros on his left, so that means we have to sit at the middle.

And before I could open my mouth to greet them, my father stands up from his chair and walk slowly towards me and Lucas.

"Hey Son, and you must be the boyfriend, Lucas." He stated in calm voice but the shivers started to run down my spine when all their eyes fixed on me then to Lucas.

Oh Fuck!

"Yes Dad. I know you know him already but still I'd like you to meet my boyfriend—-Lucas and Lucas my father."

My father shake his before he gave him a hug. Lucas on the other hand was stunned because of the warm welcome that my father has shown.

"Welcome to the family. I know how much you love my son, but as his father—- hurt him and I will have your head on a plate." Whispering the last words to his ear that caused Lucas to swallow audibly.

"Dad!" I whined because there's no need to say those words.

"Ok ok." My father said while raising his hands in surrender. My head turn around because I heard some giggles and it's coming from Luna and Delilah.

Oh my, this is embarassing.

Soon, Hades stand up from his chair and walk towards my boyfriend.

I thought he's going to beat him into pulp but my eyes widened when he gave him a welcome embrace while tapping his back.

"I'm glad that it was you man." Hades told him and then one by one, Apollo, Eros and Ares welcomed him with warm brotherly hug that truly warm my heart.

After that father told us to have our seat and soon, our dinner started and I couldn't stop myself not to smile because of what just happened.

Once we're done, I call my baby sister and the little one looks so cute when I ask her to follow me on my room.

"I told you before that I have a surprise for you, right?"

"Yeah? And it's killing me, Diony." She replied and I chuckle once those words came out from her mouth.

"I'm sorry but you have to close your eyes for me. No peeking." I said in serious tone. She pouts at me but closed her eyes eventually. The rest of the family just stare at us and also waiting for my surprise.

"That's my girl." I said before I carried her towards my room. And when I open my room, my eyes land on the dog carrier and I realized that he's still sleeping and I smile because my sister was pouting because of excitement. I slowly put her down the floor before I open my mouth.

"Okay little one, time to open that pretty eyes of yours."

She slowly open her eyes and when I told her to look around, her eyes widened in disbelief when she saw the sleeping dog not far away from where we are.

And her expression was exquisite.

"Is—- is that f-for me?" She asked. And before I could answer her, she slowly walk towards the dog and stare at him.

"You can open it baby." I said and her little fingers unlocked the cage as the dog open his eyes, lifted his head and look at my sister.

"Hello, I'm Luna." She told the dog and started to pet him to our astonishment.

The dog sniffs her hand before he licks it. Luna giggles at him. Soon, he stands up to jump at her lap while wagging his tail in excitement. Luna couldn't stop her giggles that truly melts our heart.

"Hey doggy, I'm not an ice c-cream, p-please stop licking me." She whined but you can see the happiness through her eyes. The dog whined before he stops abruptly like a good boy and that was the cue for my sister to turn her attention to me.

"Thank you so much Bubba. This is one of the best gift that I've ever received and I'm really happy." She said while tears roll down from her eyes. The dog whined again when he saw her crying but Luna immediately hug him and said that it was tears of joy.

My father pat me on my back before congratulating me, saying that I really did a good job.

My brothers except Ares, groaned in defeat because they knew that I level up my status as the best brother in the world for my sister.

"Does he has a name Bubba?" Luna asked me. I shook my head and told her that it's her job to give him one.

"Okay, so I will name you Orion, Oh! you like it yeah?" She asked while petting 'Orion' who wags his tail before licking my sister on her face again.

Soon, the twins and Eros come closer to play with Orion and my sister, while my father pulled out his mobile to capture this precious moment.

Delilah lay her head on Ares' shoulder, while looking at my siblings with smile on their faces.

Lucas on the other hand hug me from behind and gave me a soft kiss on my neck and whispered how much he loves me and proud of me, and I cannot utter even a single word because there's no word that could express how elated my feelings right now.
