We got to my parent's house and I held Gee's hand.

"Remember the rules?" I asked.

"No screaming, no not thinking before I speaks, no throwing food, no touching things that could break," he said.

"Good boy," I said, kissing his cheek.

We went inside and I smiled when I saw my parents. I sat Gee on the ground to play with his toys while I sat on the couch.

"So, I kind of needed a little favor," I asked. "Gee isn't going to be finding a family, he's going to be living with me permanently. And I thought that maybe I could get a bigger house. Then maybe he can even have his own bedroom. And I do have some money and stuff but I was wondering if maybe you could help me out a bit on money. Not a lot, we finished our CD and we're starting to make sales online now."

"You finished our CD and you didn't tell us?" My mom gasped. "Frank, go on the computer and order ten. We need one for your aunt, one for your grandma, two for each of your uncles and one for the kid down the street who likes music because he cuts our lawn."

"There's still five left," I said.

"Five for us so if one breaks we have four as a backup," she said.

"Can we get back to the house thing?" I asked.

"What's the name of your album?" My dad asked.

"Stomachaches," I said. "House?"

"Sweetheart, of course we'll help you pay for the house," my mom said with a small chuckle. "We were always going to help you with your first house. You have the little place you live in now but that's just a little starter home. You were always going to have to move into a new house when you started a family."

"S-so you don't mind?" I asked nervously.

"No, of course not," she said. "We were planning on paying for most if not all of it as a wedding gift when you got married but we might as well do it now, we don't mind."

"Oh thank you so much," I said.

"My friend's daughter is a real estate agent, I'll call her," My mom said, walking out of the room.

Gee tugged on my pants and I smiled down at him.

"Sippy," he said.

I reached into his bag and handed him his sippy cup. My mom came back and smiled.

"She said she can make an appointment with you for later on in the week," she said. "Here's her number, I already gave her yours."

She handed me her number and smiled.

"But I'm going with you to look at places," she said.

I nodded, smiling happily as I stuffed the note into my pocket.

"Thank you again," I said. "This was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be."

"We already had money put aside for it, Frankie," my dad said. "It's the tradition for the bride's parents to pay for the wedding so we thought since you're the groom we would be able to pay for the bride and groom's house. Or groom and groom, whatever you choose."

"Thank you, Dad," I said, giving him a hug.

"Oh but we can't stay, we're going to lunch with some friends," my mom said. "We'll see you soon."

I smiled, kissing her cheek before I took Gee's hand as we left.

"Well, that gives us some more time than I actually thought," I said, looking at my watch. "Let's go catch a movie."

We got to the theaters and Gee looked around curiously. I bought two tickets to a kids movie and I bought us some popcorn before we sat in our seats.

"What's this?" Gee asked, picking up a piece of popcorn.

"Popcorn," I said.

"So it's made of pop and corn?" Gee asked.

"Well, not exactly," I said.

I smiled as he took a cautious bite. Gee nodded just as the lights dimmed and movie started. He whimpered and I could see his eyes watering as he looked around in fear.

"Come here, baby," I said.

I pulled him over into my lap and smiled, kissing his cheek.

"It's okay, Baby, it's just like big Evan only bigger," I said.

"Biggest Evan," Gee muttered in awe.

I chuckled softly, wrapping my arms around him as we watched the movie. Gee ended up falling asleep in my arms during the middle of it. I picked him up, cradling him in my arms as I carried him out. He didn't wake up until I was buckling him into the car.

"Wh-what we doing?" Gee mumbled.

"Going home, Sweetheart," I said.

I got into my own side of the car and started us off. Gee reached over, holding onto my hand. I smiled over at him, giving his hand a gentle squeeze.

"Hey, Princess, what do you think about going to live somewhere else?" I asked.

"No, Daddy, I-I don't wanna live without you," he whimpered.

"Oh, Princess, I'm gonna live with you," I said.

"Oh," he mumbled. "Okay then."

I smiled, getting the two of us back home.

"Time for a nappy I think," I said.

Gee pouted. "No, I don't want nappy."

"Okay, do you want to tell me who gave you the hickeys then?" I asked.

"Nappy time, Daddy," he said.

I carried him to the bedroom and tucked him into bed.

"Okay, Baby, you stay here and get some rest and then I'll have lunch ready for you when you wake up," I said. "Anything that you want to have?"

Gee shook his head, yawning quietly. I tucked him into bed and left him alone. I went to the kitchen and looked around inside the cupboards. Finally I decided that I was too lazy to cook and I just wanted to order a pizza for us. I sat down on the couch, turning on the tv to look at the news. I closed my eyes, falling asleep on the couch.

"Daddy, the ringy door thing is making sounds," Gee said, shaking my lightly.

I yawned as I woke up, looking at the clock as the doorbell rang. I answered it quickly, paying the man before he left. I sat with Gee on the couch, changing the tv to some Teletubbies. My eyes glanced down to his neck where I could see his faded hickeys. I scowled quietly. The thought of someone touching him that way made me sick to my stomach.

We were at the show and there was a lot of people there, some of them pretty drunk. I wasn't able to stay there and watch him during the show, he was all the way in the back. Jamia was pretty busy too dealing with workers and other people seeing the show. Gee could've wandered off to use the bathroom and some drunk guy started putting their hands all over my little princess. The thought of that made me furious.

"Daddy, your face is turning red," Gee said.

I took a few deep breaths, nodding my head.

"Sorry," I muttered.

"I didn't get a very long nappy," he said.

"That's okay, Gee, we'll have an earlier bedtime tonight," I said.

Gee nodded, taking a big bite of his pizza. He crawled up into my lap and I smiled down at him.

"Daddy, can I try your pizza?" He asked.

"Baby, it came from the same slice yours was in," I said.

Gee pouted and I let him take a bite of my pizza slice.

"Yours tastes better, Daddy," he said.

"They both come from cheese pizza," I said.

Gee nodded, looking down sadly. I switched pizzas with him and he smiled happily as he ate.

"Bath time," I said when we were done.

I carried him to the bathroom and got him undress, filling up the tub with hot water and lots of bubbles. I got Gee undressed and into the tub.

"Ducky, Ducky, where's my Daddy?" Gee asked.

"Oh, I don't know, " I said. "I think it must've gotten mixed in with your living room toys. I told you to keep the bath toys in the bathroom."

I went out to the living room and dug through the basket in the corner of the living room. I found his little yellow rubber duck and smiled when I went back into the living room. Gee had rubbed bubbles over his face like a beard, smiling over at me.

"You're so cute," I said.

I kissed his forehead, cleaning off the bubbles. I grabbed the shampoo and got him cleaned up. I scrubbed his head and he giggled happily, playing with his little ducky.

"Oh no! We're about to go into the bubble mountain!" He gasped.

I smiled as he moved the duck through a pile of bubbles that floated on the surface of the water. I cleaned him up, going to grab a towel.

"Daddy, can I stay in the water and play for a wittle bit?" Gee asked.

I nodded my head and left him alone in the bathroom. I grabbed the pizza box and went out to the garage to toss it into the trash. It was starting to get a lot colder now, soon it was gonna start snowing. Thanksgiving was in just two weeks, we always had this tradition where I would go to my parents house for the dinner and then to Jamia's for the dessert and after party. I think Gee will love Thanksgiving, he really likes food.

"Daddy!" Gee called.

I stepped into the bathroom with him and he smiled at me.

"Daddy, play in the bath with me," he said.

"Oh, princess, I can just sit next to the bath and play with you," I said.

"But that's not the same," he said.

I sighed, going back to the bedroom. I changed into a pair of swim trunks before I got into the bath with him. I sat on the opposite side of the couch, my knees pulled up to my chest. The added mass brought the water up right to the brim, nearly spilling over the sides.

"Okay, so the game we playing is bubble push," he said.

Gee explained the game to me and the two of spent hours in the bath as we both laughed and played.
