"It all started when Sarah and I were young.

Around 160 i'd say, Your Papa and I had been dating for about a year and Sarah had recently met your Uncle James."

Pain spread across Auntie Sarah's face and she pulled Alex close into a hug, Alex fully accepted the hug and clung to her mommy.

"Jessica never really liked us, petty jokes and mockery but nothing serious until she turned 21. Our parents both died in a car accident and with no will, we were a very wealthy family and Jessica got everything. The house, the lands, every single savings and current account and of course us.

The state deemed her fit to care for us."

He laughed

"They couldn't of been further from right. She dropped us out of school and had us work for her full time, no pay, barely any food and harsh punishments

If anything wasn't up to t. We'd spend the night in her.."

Daddy and Auntie Sarah both winced

"Special room"

"She took any opportunity to belittle us, nothing we did was right. Disappointments to our parents.

When I turned 18, before Sarah, I considered running away with David, I mean Papa. But I couldn't leave her alone with her"

Sarah choked back a sob and Alex attempted to wipe her tears making Sarah let out a sad smile.

Papa stayed silent but rubbed Daddy's shoulder as a small sign of reassurance

"We bared another year and at the first chance we got, made a break for it. But we can never really escape her, she's always there, she could crumble us at any moment.

And we can't even fight back, if we tried she could get top lawyers. Pay some favours and get David fired and I can't work! I never finished high school for fuc-"

"Ricky!"

Papa cut him off just as Daddy started to get very wound up.

"I think that's enough ok?"

Daddy smiled through a tear stained face "ok"

I felt responsible for making Daddy sad. I was the one who brought it up, it's my fault he's crying. Tears welled in my eyes and I pulled myself onto Daddy's lap, hugging his waist and crying into his chest.

"Am sowy Daddy, no mean make you sad"

Daddy's arms wrapped around me as he kissed my forehead

"Aw baby bear, it's not your fault, please don't be sad"

I looked up at him with big eyes and my voice cracked

"Weally?"

"Yes baby bear, you make everything a million bazillion times better just by being here, I should be thanking you!"

Daddy's tears had disappeared and his normal smile replaced the unwelcome frown.

"Want daddy happy"

Papa leaned in, sandwiching me between them, he kissed Papa then my cheek

" Me too bubba"

Suddenly I felt Alex through her weight on all of us

"I wanna hug too!!"

Daddy laughed and Sarah ran over too. A huge family hug that I was stuck in the middle of.

I swear I was so close to being turned to dust. Papa noticed my distress and disbanded the hug

"How about we finally watch a movie huh?"

Daddy smiled

"Sounds good, what're we gonna watch"

Alex jumped back into her spot on the large couch, pulling Sarah with her.

"Inside out!"

"Honey, you watched that yesterday"

"So? It good movie!"

I giggled, Papa ruffled my hair

"Inside out it is"

It was getting late, Wren's bedtime was in about 30 minutes and Alex was practically asleep in Sarah's arms. Sarah stood up from the couch, holding Alex as she slept.

"We should probably get going"

"Yeah probably, this little boys bedtime is soon and we have to give you your medicine, right Wren"

Daddy pinched my cheek and I whined, making everyone laugh and me hide my face from embarrassment.

" David you get Wren's medicine, We'll say goodbye"

Daddy stood and picked me up

"Alright cool, Bye Sarah, see you guys soon"

Papa called as he left the room

We watched in the window as Sarah drove away, waving the whole time.

Daddy sat us back down on the couch

"Alright baby bear, are you gonna be brave and take your medicine with no fuss for me and Papa"

I mumbled incoherently and whined into Daddy's chest. He ran his fingers through my hair as Papa sat next to us, with bottle of pills and a reheated bottle of milk.

"You ready Wren"

I gave a small nod and Daddy began undressing me, he took off my dungarees and I started freak out a bit, not knowing what was going on. I cried out as he took of my diaper and tried to get out of his grasp.

He held me close and shushed me.

"Calm down baby bear, it's a supossitory, it goes up your bum, ok?"

I shook my head fast

"No wanna!"

Papa used his dominate voice, it scared me

"Wren you have to take your medicine, now over your Daddy's lap, the faster this is over, the faster you can have your bottle"

I cautiously lay over Daddy's lap, burying my head in his leg and clinging to Papa's trousers with my fists.

I whimpered as I heard the bottle cap get twisted off and set on the table. I whimpers became small squeals as he spread my cheeks and pushed it in. It felt huge and uncomfortable. Daddy lifted me up, retaped my diaper and hugged me. I cried

"Take it out Daddy! Take it out"

"Im sorry baby bear, it's gonna make you healthy, do you want your bottle?"

"Ricky, I'll take him, you go grab some pajamas"

"k babe"

Ricky handed me, still crying to Papa, who cooed and held me close.

"Wren it's gonna be ok, try not to think about it, let's have your bottle now"

He moved me into position and put the warm bottle to my lips. I didn't want it. I was cranky and and mad at having to take medicine and wasn't up for it. I closed my lips tight

Papa just sighed

"Wren it's been a long day, your Daddy's side of the family can be quite tiring so let's not do this"

He pinched my nose. I had never been able to hold my breath that long so I soon opened my mouth to breath. Papa shoved the nipple of the bottle into my mouth and squeezed the bottle slightly so I started drinking straight away instead of objecting.

The milk tasted a little funny but that didn't matter cause I was in heaven, who knew getting bottle fed in just a diaper and t shirt, in the arms of my big strong papa would be so comforting. I snuggled into him as I drank.

Soon I was sucking on nothing, the bottle was taken out, making me whine but not for long as Papa held my paci to my lips. I immediately latched on and started sucking. Papa ruffled my hair and handed me off to Daddy, who I didn't even realise was standing there.

" Ok baby bear, do you want a onesie or bottoms and a top?"

I felt so small and tired. I mumbled out behind my paci

"Oneyyy"

Daddy lightly laughed

"okay baby bear"

I was already half asleep as he changed me into a fluffy light pink onesie with no arms or leg holes. He carried me to my nursery, Papa in tow, holding Stuffie and Bearemy.

Daddy rocked me in his arms and quietly sang a tune I recognised from CD he put on in the car.

Dancing through life

Skimming the surface

Gliding where turf is smooth

Life's more painless

For the brainless

Why think too hard?

When it's so soothing

I was placed in my crib, both of my stuffies on either side of me with my blankie laying over top. Daddy continued his soft singing

Dancing through life

No need to tough it

When you can sluff it off as I do

Nothing matters

But knowing nothing matters

It's just life

So keep dancing through

The last thing I heard before drifting off was Papa and Daddy playfully arguing.

"Real nice message there Ricky"

"Oh shush you, it's a nice song!"

I drifted off

♧♡♧♡♧♡♧♡♧♡♧♡♧♡♧♡♧♡♧

I've never been a heavy sleeper, so I wasn't surprised to be woken up a 6am. Happens a lot.

Ricky lay next to me, peacefully snoring like a dinosaur. But I heard something else.

soft crying

I grabbed the baby monitor and held it to my ear. Every few seconds quiet, almost silent cries would sound.

I headed to Wren's nursery, not bothering to stay quiet for Ricky. That twink could sleep through a avalanche.

I opened the door to find Wren thrashing around whimpering and crying quietly.

I rushed over and leaned in. As I went to touch him, he became more panicked. Mumbling frantically

"No NO touch

please no!"

I picked him up and shook his shoulders, trying to wake him up.

Wrens eyes suddenly shot opening, he panted for a bit before bursting into tears and hiding in my neck.

"Aw Wren, it's ok, you had a nightmare bubba, youre gonna be alright now baby I'm here"

I sat down in the armchair and rocked and cooed to him till he calmed down.

"Wren baby, do you want to sleep in our bed tonight?"

He nodded his head furiously with tears still in his eyes

"Are you feeling ok now?"

He shook his head

"Well what's wrong baby? Was it the nightmare"

He shook his head again

"You need to tell me Wren or I can't fix it"

He paused for a second before stuttering out

"w-w-wet"

The meds we put in his bottle must be already working, combined with the nightmare

"As that's ok bubba, all babies use their diapers, let's get you changed huh?"

He nodded and hid his face as I carried him to the changing table. He seemed so nervous so I grabbed Bearemy and a new paci as the old one was lost at some point in the night.

Wren his his face behind the bear but I could hear the suckling of his pacifier.

The pacifier was pink and had the mark of a my little pony character, pinkie pie. Ricky had handled most of the buying stuff while I payed. He bought stuff for every possible gender and if I asked about it he'd yell

GENDER IS A CONSTRUCT

and try to kick something but hurt himself.

I undid Wren's onesie and took of the soaking wet diaper, disposing of it and wiping him with A wet wipe. He whimpered at how cold the wipe was but I reassured him

"Its ok Wren, youre such a brave boy"

I covered him in powder before tapping up a new thick diaper. I put back on his onesie and kissed his forehead.

"Now that wasn't so bad was it bubba"

His cheeks lit up bright red as he peeked out from behind the bear

"No Papa"

I picked him up and he koala clung to my side

"We need to get ourselves back to bed"

Wren tried to cover a yawn but failed

" My point proven"

He whined, I chuckled

I carried him back to our main bedroom where we were greeted by Ricky's ungodly snores.

They spooked Wren and he hid back into my neck, whimpering

"Papa der a monster"

I laughed

"That's not a monster Wren, that's Daddy"

He peeked out

"huh"

I walked us over to Ricky's bedside

"See look"

"Daddy!"

Wren giggled as Ricky wasn't exactly the most flattering while he slept.

"Yep, it's just your dinosaur snore Daddy"

I set him next to Ricky and walked around the bed to climb in. Making sure that Wren was all tucked in and snuggled up with his Daddy, Papa and Bear, I waited until he fell asleep then drifted off back to sleep myself.

Morning came far to quickly as I woke up to movement beside me. Wren was awake and shifting around, whining quietly. He squeaked as I pulled him into myself so we were chest to chest

"Baby it's too early, just relax for a bit"

Wren layed his head down under my neck but kept squirming. I wrapped my arms around him to stop him moving.

I turned my head to the side and my eyes went wide

"Christ it's 11!"

I said that a bit too loudly and spooked the still sleepy Wren. Tears pricked his eyes and he let out little whines

"No shout, me hungy"

"

Well we gotta wake up your Daddy, he wouldn't dare even let me make toast"

I pulled the pillow out from under Ricky and hit him with it a few times. Successfully waking him up and making Wren giggle.

Ricky's intense bed head stuck out at all sides as sat up, groaning and cracking his neck. He turned to me, obviously surprised to see Wren

"What's my little Baby bear doing in our bed huh"

Wren held out his hands and Ricky took him into his arms. Nuzzling they're noses before Ricky booped Wren's nose making him shake his head furiously

"Did you sneak in here last night little bug?"

Wren smashed his face into Rickys t-shirt like a cat and whined. I answered for him

"He had a nightmare last night and I brought him in here"

"Aw my poor baby bear, I'm sorry I wasn't there"

"annnd"

Ricky looked at my eager to hear

"What? whenever you use that it's usually good news"

I ran my fingers through Wren's hair, he probably needed a bath later but that's a whole other battle

"Wren finally used his diaper"

Wren whined as Ricky dramatically gasped and hugged him tight

"I'm so proud of you baby boy! You're such a good little bug"

"Um Ricky, before you crush our little angle in that hug, I think we could all go for some breakfast considering we slept in"

"Wait what?"

Ricky leaned over and checked the clock before groaning and throwing his head back

"Ugh I was trying to get us into a schedule"

"Well today can be our cheat day, how bout a nice breakfast to start, this little one's hungry"

Ricky shook Wren a little bit

"Really now?"

Wren nodded and Ricky smiled

"Alright then, how about pancakes?"

"Sounds incredible, can I help the chef in any way?"

"Unless you wanna burn the house down I suggest you go watch cartoons with our precious darling angel pie"

There I sat watching morning cartoons with our precious darling angel pie as he drew. The attached mittens didn't held home grip the crayons I brought out for him but he managed and seemed to be really enjoying himself.

Another note to self, loves to do art.

"Papa look!"

Wren held up his drawing and crawled towards me. I picked him up and sat him my lap. Wren proudly presented the crayon drawing. It was 2 stickpeople and a giant blob, all holding what I think was hands, one stickperson tall and drawn in black, the other was alot smaller and drawn in pink. The blob had I think spikes but I couldn't be sure and small z's coming from it

"Wren I've never been good a understanding amazing art, can you explain it to me?"

Wren nodded before pointing to the black stickperson

"Dat ooo, ooo wear back!"

"Yes I suppose I wear alot of black"

He pointed to the pink stickperson

"Dat me, I wearing pink!"

"How smart are you bubba"

I tickled under his chin and he continued, pointing at the spikey blob

"an dat daddy, he a dino!"

"I'm a what?"

As if the magic summoning spell had been chanted, Ricky stood in the kitchen doorway wearing his gayest apron

literally

In huge block letters it said

'MY GAYEST APRON'

"Papa said Daddy a dino when sleepy so I drew oo sleepy"

"Oh did he now"

Ricky stared me daggers and Wren giggled but I quickly diverted attention.

"Ricky doesn't Wren's drawing deserve to go on the fridge"

"Of course it does!"

Wren blushed and smiled as we all made our way to the kitchen. Ricky created a hole in the middle of all the fridge magnets and stuck Wren's drawing there

"It looks beautiful baby bear, just like you!"

I smirked, seeing an opening

"Thanks Ricky but my name's David"

Ricky stunningly annoyed face made Wren laugh.

Ricky huffed and turned to the oven, where he took out a tall stack of thin pancakes, freshly cooked but left to stay warm in the oven.

He placed them in the middle of the table

"So who wants pancakes?"

Wren threw his hand up

" Me!"
