"Okay, that is so not fair!" Adam followed his husband through Party City. "Why can't she be what she wants to be for Halloween?"

"Yeah, how come?" Ryleigh pouted holding Adam's hand.

"Because she wants to be a gothic Barbie doll and I will not have my six year old dressing like something dark or scary for Halloween," Kris said, pushing the cart down the isle.

"Isn't that the whole point of Halloween? To be scary?"

"Yeah!"

Kris ignored his daughter and husband's attempt to gang up on him. "Ryleigh, you are too young to be something so dark."

"What happened to freedom of expression?" Adam said running his hand through his hair as he walked behind Kris looking at the costumes on the walls.

"She can be whatever she wants to be, as long as it isn't scary," Kris shrugged before stopping the cart to look at the cute little girl costumes. "Like last year, when she was the tooth fairy. Why can't you do something like that again, sweetheart?" he asked looking down at his young daughter.

She just pouted and shook her head.

"Because she's growing up and wants to be like me," Adam said. "The kid has style. I mean when I was her age I was a gothic Ken doll for Halloween."

Kris turned to give his husband a look. "You gave her the idea didn't you?"

Adam drew a tight close lipped smile.

Kris chuckled. "But seriously, I do not want my little girl to be something so scary. She is too young."

"Fine," Adam sighed.

Kris bent down to look into Ryleigh's eyes and hold her little shoulders. "You can start dressing scary-ish at age twelve. But until then I want you to be something cute or sweet, not anything frightening."

She pouted up at him and nodded. "Okay."

"So let's find you a cute little costume okay, sweetheart?"

Ryleigh nodded and smiled weakly.

Kris turned back to face the wall of young girl costumes. "Pick out whatever you want, baby girl."

Ryleigh let go of Adam's hand to walk forward toward the wall of costumes. She looked up and down the wall, her eyebrows furrowed in concentration.

"How about this?" Kris held up a Dorothy costume with matching ruby slippers. "It would look so cute on you!"

Ryleigh made a face like she smelled something awful before turning to Adam. "What do you recommend, Papa?

Adam gave Kris a smug look making him laugh. "Well, sweetie, if I were you I would go with something cute but still flirty. You're not a tiny girl anymore, you're more like a young lady so I would recommend...hmm...this!" Adam held up an Alice in Wonderland costume.

Ryeligh's eyes lit up and her little face broke out in a bright smile. "I love it!"

Adam handed the costume to his six year old daughter before puffing his chest out in pride.

"She's definitely your daughter," Kris laughed.

"And she has her Papa's taste," Adam said.

"Oh god help us when she is a teenager," Kris said.

Adam chuckled.

Five-month-old Avery giggled watching her daddies with her wide blue eyes from inside her car seat propped up in the Party City cart.

"I know, baby girl," Kris smiled down at her and tickled her foot through her tiny white sock. "We'll get your bunny rabbit costume."

"Bunny rabbit?" Adam said pulling a face. "Who said she was going to be a bunny rabbit?"

"She's only a baby, Adam," Kris sighed. "She's not going to be anything wild."

"I only wanted her to be..."

"What?"

"Wonder Woman."

"What?" Kris laughed.

"It would be cute," Adam said smiling down at his baby daughter. "Don't you want to be Wonder Woman, sweetie?"

"No," Kris said.

"No, what?"

"No, she is not going to be Wonder Woman."

"Why not?"

"Because Wonder Woman is a sex symbol."

"And a Playboy Bunny isn't?"

"I said bunny rabbit not Playboy bunny," Kris laughed.

"Same difference."

"No it's not."

"Yes it is."

"Fine," Kris sighed. "She doesn't have to be a bunny rabbit, but she is still not going to be Wonder Woman. We can find a happy medium right?"

"I guess," Adam said looking down at his shoes.

Kris pushed the cart in front of the baby costumes. "Ah, here!" He grabbed a costume and held it up for Adam to see.

"Super girl?" Adam said.

"Yeah," Kris smiled. "It's cute, not boring, its rememberable for when she grows up and looks back on her first Halloween. What do you think?"

"I like it," Adam smiled taking the pink super girl costume with matching cape from his husband's hands. "What do you think, sweetie?" Adam held it up for Avery to check out. She smiled. "She likes it!"

"Either that or she has gas," Kris mumbled.
