“I never thought for a moment that she wasn’t going to be a handful, but I know that she’s not going to be violent.” He smiled as he spoke that with nothing but absolute honesty. He knew the two of them raised their daughter better than that, and for the most part, she was very respectful, she just seemed to have a problem of knowing how much was too much when it came to playing with her father. “Well then I guess that means you’re going to be the death of me too because we both know that you’re incredibly attractive.” And again, he was completely honest. He thought that she was the most attractive woman he’d ever met in his entire life. “Yeah? i’d love to try it baby.”

“Not in that sense, no. I don’t think she’ll be a bully or anything, but she’s also not the most gentle when playing. That’s all I’m worried about.” Once his living room was finally cleaned from the destruction of a six year old, Addie made her way into the kitchen, trying her hide the fact that he had made her blush, but it was really no use. This man knew her like the back of his hand. It was moments like this that she remembered why she was so in love with him. “I love you.” Was all she could manage to say as she stood behind the counter, pulling out everything she was going to need for the cupcakes. 

“She’s not going to be that bad, Addie, you gotta give us a little more credit than that. We’re going to be Batman and Batgirl in a very safe manner I promise you that.” He laughed. He loved the fact that he and his daughter scared an equal amount of love for the comic book character. “How am I going to be the death of you?” He questioned at he looked around the room. Walking over to the corner he dropped the toys into the box. “Yeah, of course I want to help, I think it would be great for both of us to be in the kitchen together again.”

“You know, you say that, but if she’s anything like either of us, she’s going to be bad. There’s just no getting over the fact that she’s going to be a handful.” While she might not be as bad as he was, Ever had a habit of tying her bears up in one of her chairs, questioning them about where they hid the bomb. While it was the cutest thing she’s ever seen, she knew this was only the beginning. “Well--because you’re far to attractive for your own good. That’s clearly a great place to start.” Adelaide smiled as she gave the man a playful wink. “I think I finally perfected my vegan recipe, so I would love your input.”

“You have a point I won’t deny that. I don’t want to end up with a call form the future daycare that she poked someone’s eye out.” He laughed as he walked around the living room, cleaning up their daughters toys as he went. “If that’s what you want to do I can join you, I didn’t really plan anything for us.”

“I’m already worried that she might try and make her own little batarangs to throw at people. Or you know--try to be her best Batgirl.” It was entertaining just how much she was like her dad. Not only did she look exactly like him, but she was starting to pick up on all his little quirks. “If you’re not going to be the death of me, she sure as heck will.” Bending down to pick up Ever’s blanket and pillow from the little bed she made when she was watching tv with her unicorn. “Would you want to help me? We haven’t baked together in a long time.”

He tried to keep the young girl from falling, his hands never leaving her body. Even though they weren’t married, he was sure he hand the most perfect family. “She’s fine, Addie, she didn’t hurt me.” He laughed as he moved to grab Ev and carefully put her on her feet. “You heard your mom, go.” He spoke as he hurried her along, watching her run up the stairs. “I’ll come tuck you in when you’re done.” He called after he before he turned to face Addie. “She’s going to be the death of me I swear.”

“She may not of hurt you, but we still don’t want her going around, sticking her fingers into people eyes.” Addie corrected as she watched the small girl run up the stairs and into the bathroom. “So what would you like to do tonight, babe? I was thinking about making some cupcakes, but I didn’t want to do that if you had ideas for us.”

Andy love watching Addie with their daughter. With the way the two of them laughed together, it was a sight that could warm any heart. To say he felt lucky in this moment was such an understatement. He took the young girl in his arms when she was handed to him, a small laugh passing his lips as the girl started to climb all over him. “Now she’s going to treat me like I’m an actual tree.” He spoke beneath his laugh as his gaze met Adelaide’s. “I would rather watch you let her claw your eyes out.” He added as he lifted his hand to pull the girls hands from his eyes.

Offering the taller man a laugh as she watched their little girl poke her fingers into her dad’s eyes, Adelaide scolded Ever. “Now what did I tell you about touching peoples eyes? You could really hurt them, Ev.” Pressing a kiss to her cheek, Adelaide watched as the two played together. Not once did she think her life would turn out like this, but she was happy that they had seemed to keep what had happened between them separate from their daughter. “She needs to start getting ready for bed. Why don’t you put her down so she can run upstairs and go brush her teeth?”

Can I say everything? If I had to choose one thing--I think it would be being able to share things I loved when I was younger with her. She has this obsession with both Pokemon and literally anything Batman related. The Batman obsession I fully blame on her father, but that’s a whole other can of worms. 

Okay, so I have a lot of feelings when it comes to this subject. First and foremost, Jared is an adult. If he feels like letting Lucy in both his and Sam’s life, that’s his business. Do I agree with it? God no, but he’s going to do what he feels is best for Sam. I however--I would keep her at arms length. I would make it about Sam and strictly Sam. 

I love you too. If you’re too tired, I don’t mind taking a rain check as long as I get to cuddle you tonight.

Well let’s not let it get to that point. Come on, baby, let’s go.

Oh I plan on playing a really good hand of cards tonight if it means I can possibly get you in my bed again after all these years.

God I love you. Alright, let’s get out there before it get’s to late and I start getting tired.

I’m okay with getting you naked. I wouldn’t deny that I want to see you like that again, hell, I want to experience that with you again. I wouldn’t mind you bringing a few things over each time you come over.

I had a feeling you’d say that. Maybe if you play your cards right, and I feel comfortable enough, maybe we can make that happen?
