[color="lightsteelblue”]”What happened?”[/color] Running out to get to his kids, surprise surprise… He found Zoe on the ground crying while one of the dogs was running around her. What happened? Well, from Shay’s story - as soon as Zoe got out, their dog started jumping around her, wanting to play and she just fell and started crying. Nothing bad, right? Right. Did you hear that Zoe? YOU’RE FINE. [color="lightsteelblue”]”Hey… You’re good.”[/color] He spoke up, picking up Zoe who was still crying, wrapping her little arms around her dad’s neck. [color=“lightsteelblue”]”Don’t-”[/color] [color=”#9d7691”]”I… hurt… my knee…”[/color] No you did not. Okay… maybe there was a tiny scrape but you’re fiiiiine. ”Let me see… Okay, let’s go take care of that.” Will Dorian ever finish making them breakfast? Looks like he won’t. Walking back inside with Zoe in his arms, he placed her on a chair as he went to grab a bandaid. If that would make her feel better… she’ll even get a chance to pick which one she wants. That’s how you make your kids happier! After a long moment of thinking, she finally picked a bandaid with some doughnuts on it, giving it to her dad to put it on her knee and kiss it. Okay Zoe, can we eat now?
That was a long start of their day… Putting away the dishes he was going to wash later because who has time for that now? Hey, nooo. Don’t you dare think that’s what he does. For your information Dorian is a great dish washer, you’d be surprised. Do you know how many times he’s helping Jess and doing that without her telling him to? Every single day. Enough bragging… He could do that now, sure, but Aidan was waiting for his dad to play soccer so how can Dori say wait, buddy to that cute, little face? It was impossible. That little boy was just something else. As soon as Dori put down the last plate, Aidan reached for his dad’s hand, moving closer to him. If their day wasn’t already planned out, Aidan would be walking around with his dad, tightly holding his hand no matter what he was doing but since they wanted to go out and play, Dorian swiftly picked up his son. ”You and me against your sisters again?” A giggly yes leaving Aidain’s mouth. Maybe it wasn’t fair because Dori had Aidan on his team and HELLO, Aidan was the best little soccer player, so how will Shay and Zoe stand a chance agains them? Dori really got lucky with Aidan picking him. And did the boys win? Of course! You really thought they wouldn’t? There wasn’t a single time when little Aidan lost… and Zoe didn’t cry because she wasn’t with her dad but that’s not the point now.
”Cmon bud, time for your nap.” And just like any other day, this is what would happen after their play time and lunch. Leaving Shay and Zoe in the living room with dogs, Dori would take Aidan up to his bedroom, letting him cuddle up next to him until he falls asleep. Dori would then go back down and join the girls… or not. There were times when he’d accidentally fall asleep next to his son since he couldn’t really move. Aidan would refuse to let go of his hand so Dorian had to wait for the little boy to fall asleep and then get up… That sometimes takes a while… As it did now. But that wasn’t the problem for the girls, even if they were responsible little angels it meant they could do whateveeeer they wanted without their dad worrying.
But when the night came his kids asked for their mom, the second night when they couldn’t call her, facetime her, talk to her and that was quite a sad moment. They were old enough to understand mom was working but they missed her, and needed her, just for a short moment of their day. Dad feels the same way, kids… What Dorian would then do is put on their favorite movie, make some popcorn and let them watch it before their time for bed. This time both Zoe and Aidan fell asleep and after the movie, he’d carry them to their beds and with a little help of Shay tuck them in. A good night kiss they won’t remember the next day and this what they’ll doo probably every day before mom returns. Just hopefully without Zoe hurting herself or ruining breakfast… But even with that Dorian would still cherish every moment he gets to spend with them.
