“They might not, but we would and that’s what matters,” He reminded her. “I’m sure your mom would love taking them for the weekend.”

“My mom might throw a parade if we asked her to take them for the weekend. I’m pretty sure she’d be more excited about that then anything I’ve ever done.”

“We were the most beautiful prom royalty that the high school will ever have. Honestly I think we would both lose our minds if we didn’t have each other. And now we’re happy in relationships that are healthy.”

“We both have kids, too. That’s probably the freakiest part of all of it, right?” She asked with a small laugh. “I mean, at least it is for me.”

“If it makes Kat happy he’ll do anything. Honestly I’m starting to feel jaded by my own child with how much he’ll do for her, but singing cartoon songs is just one thing.”

“I could’ve told you that he’d be that way with a daughter.” Cassidy laughed warmly, shaking her head. “But at least you know he’s never going to leave. That has to be nice.”

“I was thinking maybe take the boys to the zoo? I think they’re old enough to understand cute animals at least. I just know I need a date night with the most beautiful woman, and a family night with the kids.”

“I don’t know if they’d remember a trip, but it would be fun. And maybe this weekend my mom or Parker could watch the boys so we can go out.”

“Besides I’m pretty sure Kyle could use some socialization outside of Kat. If I hear him sing another baby show song I might lose my mind.”

“Has he gotten really bad?” Cassie asked with a quiet laugh. “I remember nearly crying when I went back to work just so I could get those songs out of my head.”

“Hey what are best friends for?” He asked her as he raised his eyebrows, “I mean just because we sucked in a relationship together doesn’t mean I won’t always have your back.”

“We might have sucked in a relationship, but we were beautiful prom royalty.” Cassie laughed. “I’m happy we’re still best friends, though. I don’t know what I’d have done if we weren’t.”

“I was thinking we need to give the boys to your mom for a night so we can have a date night, and maybe do a family with them.”

“I think date night sounds perfect.” Cassie smiled, “and then we should do family night with the boys this week sometime. Even if it’s just dinner and watching cartoons.”

“A little tired and missing my girl,” He admitted leaning in to kiss the side of her head, “You’ve been so busy.”

“You’re way better than you were when we dated. I highly doubt the boys will ever see you as anything but the badass warrior you are.”

“I hate that she’s lonely. I hate that any of us feel we’re alone when we have as many siblings as we do. We should probably have a sisters day.”

“I only care about one though,” Axel admitted as he slid his arm around her waist to pull her towards him, “How’s my favorite girl?”

“I’m okay.” Cassie shrugged, wrapping an arm around him. “I can’t really complain, today’s been uneventful. How are you doing?”

“You were not a total selfish trainwreck but I get why you don’t want to hold on to the negative feelings.”

“I don’t want the boys to see me like that, I think that’s the only reason. I try to be better for them, even though I really doubt it’s working.”

“No, because Parker is clearly Rhea’s favorite. It’s kind of sad.”

“I mean, he’s mine by default because of the whole womb thing, but that’s probably not surprising. But I think Rhea gets lonely sometimes, so I can’t even be upset that they’re close.”

“I have no doubt that he would be an incredible father to as many children as possible, but I don’t know if my body could handle that. But I am going to give him enough to keep us both busy.”

“Yeah, the postpartum healing can be rough. You’ll know when it’s time to stop though, and then there will be a handful of very beautiful Jacobson babies for us to spoil.”

“I’m your favorite sister though, right?”

“Well, yeah..does saying that out loud make me a bad person?”

“Has anyone seen a stunning red head?”

“I’ve seen one or two around.”
