Author's Note: I hope you guys enjoy this chapter and please let me know what you all thought.

    Everything stayed silent between them all as Officer James was just in complete shock at being called dad and Carlos was shocked that his baby sister would say that. A few minutes later Lola came over after paying for the pumpkins.

    "Okay what's going on?" Lola asked when she came back to find them all silent which was completely not like any of them. "Mal called your friend dada!" The small boy told Lola, making her freeze as she looked at her boyfriend.

     "Oh my gosh! James I am so so so sorry she did that! She's just confused! Mal he is not your dad," Lola rambled out as she quickly picked up Mal from Officer James as she felt so embarrassed that her daughter called her boyfriend dada especially when James wasn't her father.

     The small baby just giggled as she looked at James again. "Dada!" The small baby called out again making Lola feel even more embarrassed.

    "Mommy he's not our daddy right," the small boy asked Lola, making her feel even more awkward as she looked at her now confused son and uncomfortable boyfriend.

     "No buddy, he's not your dad," Lola told Carlos who looked at her in confusion. "Oh then why does Mal keep calling him dada," the small four year old asked Lola who just sighed. "She's confused. She's only one," Lola told Carlos hoping to stop the awkward and uncomfortableness, but it just led to more of it.

      "Oh then who is our real daddy!" The small boy asked his mom making Lola freeze up as she didn't want to answer that question. Their dad was not a good person and it hurt just thinking about him and what he had done to her.

        And she didn't want her kids to ever meet him as he didn't deserve to meet them. Noticing Lola's uncomfortableness James just quickly snapped out of it as he looked at the confused four year old.

       "Hey buddy why don't we talk about something else now. So are you excited to carve pumpkins," Officer James told the small boy causing him to quickly turn his attention to Officer James as he smiled.

       "Yeah! It's my first time carving a pumpkin! I can't wait!" The small boy told Officer James as he began to ramble on about carving pumpkins, making Lola sigh in relief as she gave her boyfriend a grateful look as he had saved her from the awkwards and uncomfortable talk.

         "Alright well come on buddy! Let's go back to my house, so you can carve some pumpkins," Officer James told the four year old making him laugh as he looked at Lola. "Mommy can I ride with your friend!" Carlos asked Lola, making her laugh as she looked at James.

         "James do you mind if Carlos went with you," Lola asked James, making him smile as he was enjoying getting to know his girlfriend's son. "Yeah sure we're all going to the same place," Officer James told Lola, making her laugh as she looked at the excited four year old.

           "Yay! I get to ride with the police officer!" The small boy screamed out excitedly making Lola and James laugh as James looked at Lola. "You know you could always ride with me as well if you wanted to," James told his girlfriend, making her blush.

             "I would love to, but I came in my car," Lola told her boyfriend who just laughed. "It's fine you can leave it here and get it back later," James told Lola, making her laugh.

             "Alright yeah sure let's go! Oh wait I have to get their car seats! Why do I keep almost forgetting about that!" Lola rambled out making James laugh.

               "Alright well then maybe we should just take your car and leave mine here," Officer James told Lola who smiled. "Yeah let's do that!" Lola told her boyfriend excitedly as they made it to her car and Lola buckled Mal in.

               She was about to help buckle Carlos in, but smiled when she saw James had already buckled him in. "Hey you didn't have to do that. I could have buckled him in," Lola told her boyfriend making him laugh.

                "It's fine! I mean you looked like you had your hands full putting Mal in her car seat, so I figured you could use some help. If that's okay! I don't want to be making you feel like I'm overstepping my boundaries or anything," Officer James rambled out making Lola laugh as she got into the front seat.

                "Nah trust me you're not the one overstepping your boundaries. My parents on the other hand they completely overstepped their boundaries!" Lola told her boyfriend, making him look at her in confusion as he didn't understand what she meant by that.

                "What do you mean?" Officer James asked Lola who just sighed as she watched Carlos bounce around in his car seat while Mal was giggling and copying him trying to be like him.

                 "It's complicated. I'll tell you later, so this is where you live," Lola jokingly told her boyfriend when they pulled up to his apartment. Officer James just laughed as he looked at Lola. "Yeah do you like it," the officer jokingly told Lola, making her laugh.

                   "Yeah it looks cool. Anyway we should probably get inside now. It's been getting pretty chilly and I don't want Mal or Carlos to get sick," Lola told James who laughed again as he nodded getting out of the car.

                    "So do you want me to help you get them out of the car or..." James asked Lola nervously as he didn't want to make her uncomfortable since they were her kids. Lola just laughed as she looked at him. "Yeah sure can you get Mal for me," Lola asked James as she was testing him.

                      He seemed to be doing well with Carlos, but she wasn't sure about Mal. Officer James just nodded while Lola unbuckled Carlos and helped him get out. "Alright cutie let's get you out of that car seat," Officer James told the baby who giggled as he unbuckled her from her carseat and picked her up.

                       "Dada!" The small baby called out again, but this time James didn't get that same awkward feeling. In fact he was feeling the opposite, but he knew that was crazy. He had just met Mal and Carlos that day. He barely knew anything about them yet when the baby called him dada again he got a happy feeling.

                        Lola noticed that James had been zoning out as she quickly picked up Mal from him snapping him back to reality. "Hey you okay? You kinda zoned out there for a little bit. Oh man did Mal call you dada again! She did didn't she! I am so sorry! I promise I will work on that with her!" Lola rambled out as she was still embarrassed about her baby calling him dada earlier.

                         James just quickly snapped out of it as he gave Lola a small smile. "It's fine. She's just a baby. She doesn't know what she's saying. Anyway come on in and make yourself at home," Officer James told Lola hoping to change the subject and to his relief it worked as Lola just laughed and they went inside.

                          As soon as they made it in the house the small four year old got so excited when he saw that James had a dog as he quickly ran over to her. "Yay! Doggy!" The small boy screamed out excitedly as he ran to the dog and started petting her.

                          "Hehe you're a silly doggy! I have a doggy too! His name is Dude!" The small boy told the dog as he let her lick his face. Mal just giggled as she crawled after Carlos, but quickly started crying when the dog got close to her as the dog was a lot bigger than her making her scared.

                             "No!" The small baby cried out immediately causing Lola and James to run over as Lola picked up Mal and James put his dog away making Carlos get upset. "Hey! I was petting her! How come she has to go in her kennel!" The small boy whined out making Lola sigh as she bounced Mal a little.

                               "Because the dog is really big and it's dangerous to have her out when Mal is still this small and she's scaring Mal too besides we're here to carve pumpkins not play with a dog," Lola told Carlos who just sighed.

                                "Okay fine!" The young boy told Lola who laughed as she tickled him immediately making his attitude go away. "Alright come on let's go carve some pumpkins now," Lola told Carlos, Mal, and Officer James who just agreed.

                                  "Okay so I'll carve the pumpkins and you can help the kids get the goo out," Lola told officer James who just laughed. "Nah I think I should carve the pumpkins while you help the kids," James jokingly told Lola, making her laugh.

                                   "Oh I got a better idea since there are two pumpkins and two kids. Let's have a little more fun with it," Lola told James, making him smile. "Okay and what are you thinking," James asked his girlfriend who smiled as she picked up Mal.

                                    "I was thinking we each get a kid to help and we see who can carve the better pumpkin," Lola told James excitedly, making him laugh.

                                   "Yeah good idea," James told Lola, making her smile. "Mommy can I be on Officer James's team! Please mommy! You can be with Mal since you're both girls!" The small boy screamed out excitedly making Lola laugh.

                                    "Yeah sure buddy you can be on his team! Mal guess what it's you and me!" Lola told her kids, making Carlos laugh as he ran over to James while Mal giggled and clapped her hands in excitement.

                                    "Okay so how do we know who wins?" Officer James asked Lola who smirked as she grabbed her phone and started calling Jenny. "Hey Jenny! I have an emergency and I need your help right now! Please hurry," Lola told Jenny, causing Jenny to panic, making Lola have to hold back a laugh while Carlos and Mal giggling their heads off.

                                   "What! Oh my gosh! I'll be right there! Don't panic!" Jenny screamed out as she quickly got in her car and began to rush over to where Lola told her to go. "Well Jenny will be here soon!" Lola told the others, making the kids laugh again.

                                     "Mommy you're silly! You made Auntie Jenny freak out!" The small boy told Lola, making her a bit shocked as she looked at her son. "Did you just call Jenny Aunty Jenny?" Lola asked Carlos, making him immediately get scared as he thought he did something bad.

                                     "No! I didn't say that mommy! I said um... " Carlos began to say, but Lola stopped him. "Hey it's okay pup. I'm not upset. You can call her that if you want to. Now let's try to get some of that pumpkin goo out of our pumpkins before Jenny gets here," Lola told Carlos who nodded excitedly as he began to help Lola and Officer James get the goo out of the pumpkins.

                     Lola laughed when she saw that Carlos and Mal had gotten the goo all over themselves as she got some pictures. "Aw you two are so adorable and silly! Don't move, I'm gonna get some pictures! I can totally use these for my project!" Lola screamed out excitedly as she took some more pics of the two kids getting the goo out of the pumpkins.

                      "Hehe it's squishy! Here Mal feel it!" The young four year old told his baby sister as he handed her the goo making the baby giggle as she tried to eat it. "No Mal,  don't eat the goo. You're opposed to play with it, not eat it. Mommy Mal isn't playing with the goo right!" The small boy screamed out making Lola laugh as she quickly put down her camera and helped Mal.

                        "Hey sweetie no. We don't eat goo. It won't taste good anyway," Lola told the baby as she quickly picked her up. And they continued to work on carving their pumpkins.  "Okay I'm here, where's the emergency!" Jenny screamed out as she barged through the door in a panic making everyone laugh.

                         "There is no mergency Auntie Jenny! Mommy just needed you to come, so you can tell us who won the pumpkin carving contest! I think me and mommy's friend won!" The small four year old told Jenny, making her look at Lola in shock and anger.

                          "YOU MADE ME COME HERE TO JUDGE YOUR PUMPKIN CARVING! I THOUGHT SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED! YOU SAID IT WAS AN EMERGENCY!" Jenny screamed out making Lola laugh as she held up a finger and motioned towards the couch.                            

                         "Well we needed another person to be the judge and you wouldn't have come if I told you the real reason. Also keep it down would you. Mal is sleeping," Lola told Jenny, making her look over to see the sleeping baby on the couch as she quickly ran and picked her in panic, immediately waking her.

                          "Dude you just woke her up!" Lola screamed out making Jenny roll her eyes as she held the baby and rocked her. "You should be thanking me! I probably just saved her life! You should never put a baby to sleep on a soft surface like a couch or bed! They can suffocate!" Jenny screamed out making Lola roll her eyes.

                          "Relax James and I are right here! We would have noticed if something was wrong! So are you gonna judge our pumpkins or not," Lola asked Jenny who just groaned. "Alright fine, but only because if I don't you won't leave me alone!" Jenny told Lola in annoyance making her laugh as she hugged Jenny.

                           "Admit it ya love me! Now come on the pumpkins are over here and to make it fair you can't know who did which pumpkin," Lola told Jenny, making her laugh as she had to admit Lola was annoying, but she did enjoy hanging out with her no matter how ridiculous the situation was.

                          "I can't believe you really did that to your friend," James told Lola as they were sitting on his couch with Mal and Carlos sleeping on top of them as it had been a few hours since their pumpkin carving contest in which Lola and Mal had won, but Carlos got time to play with James's dog, so he was okay with not winning.

                          "Yeah but she loves me! She's like the little sister I never had! Hey thanks for helping me today," Lola told her boyfriend as she was about to kiss him when her phone went off. Lola groaned when she saw it was her parents. "Ugh great what do they want now!" Lola said out loud as she quickly excused herself to answer the phone.

                    "Hello," Lola asked with an attitude immediately causing her parents to go off. "Where are you! It is late! If you don't get home right now with them we are filing for kidnap!" Lola's parents screamed out making her eyes widen.

                     "You can't do that! They're my kids!" Lola screamed out in shock making her parents get upset again. "They are under our custody and we are telling you to bring our children back! If you don't do it then it is kidnapping! You have 20 minutes to get home or we call the cops!" Lola's parents screamed out making her slam her phone down as she didn't get why her parents had to be that way.

                      "Is everything okay," James asked his girlfriend, making her just quickly cover up her tears and her upset attitude as she nodded. "

                      Yeah um that was my parents I gotta get home now. Bye I'll see you later and again thank you so much for all your help today!" Lola screamed out quickly as she quickly grabbed the two sleeping kids and went home just knowing she was going to regret going home as she just knew her parents were gonna kill her the second she walked through that door just for spending a day with her own kids.
