Discalimer: I don't own Dan/Phil nor anyone associated with them

Hey Pastries so, here we are with the final chapter of the series featuring the birth of Baby Lilian! and as always with these stories, there will be fluff, drama, and angst. So yeah, I hope you like it and here we go!

"Zachary, you have to go to sleep at some point." Said Phil, as he and Dan were sitting on Zachary's bed. Zachary shook his head and folded his arms over his chest, while Mr. Snuffles was propped up next to him in the same position. Phil sighed, and ran a hand through his hair. They'd already given Zachary milk and cookies, read him several bed time stories, sang him songs, watched Monsters Inc. and Monsters University twice, but the little two year old still refused to go to sleep at all.

" No I don't, an' Mr. Snuffles says no too." Said Zachary, with a small nod.

" Well we say you do." Said Phil, ruffling his son's dark hair. "You saw the movies, the-"

"But, what if de monsters are mean like Randall and Watuhnoose, I don wanna have them put a thingy on me like randall was gonna do to Boo." He replied, Dan gently kissed the top of his head and wrapped his arms around him.

"Oh Zach, no one is going to do that to you alright? Now yes there are mean monsters, but most if not all of the monsters are friendly and just have to do their jobs." Explained Dan, Zachary looked at his closet. He didn't know why but ever since he could remember, he had dreams of a shadow that wanted to hurt him. The shadow lived in his closet, and no matter what Papa or Daddy said the shadow was still in his closet. His blue eyes looked at the dark space where his closet was and he immediately hugged Dan tightly. Dan sighed and looked up at Phil.

" Zach listen, there is absolutely nothing to be afraid of alright? The only things that are in your closet, are your clothes, your shoes and your dirty clothes hamper. Nothing else, alright?"Said Phil gently, Zachary looked up at him before looking back at the closet and shaking his head. Dan and Phil sighed, knowing that Zachary was not going to go to sleep so easily. The two year old looked up at his two daddies with his big blue eyes.

"Can you stay here wif me?" He asked,

Phil nodded as Dan tucked Zachary in, and kissed his forehead. Phil turned off the light, and ran a hand through Zachary's hair.

"Goodnight little bear, daddy and I will be right here until you fall asleep." Said Phil, Zachary immediately nodded and closed his eyes. After a few minutes, when they were sure that he was asleep, they went back to their room and settled in under the covers. Dan wrapped his arms around Phil, and the two laid there staring up at the ceiling.

" I think he needs to talk to someone Phil"Said Dan, Phil sighed and shook his head. He understood that Dan was worried, however Zachary was two years old and most two year olds were afraid of the closet.

" Dan, he's a toddler he'll grow out of it." Said Phil rationally, Dan sighed maybe he was just over thinking things. Still he couldn't help but be a little bit worried, the next day he was making breakfast while Phil was doing Destiny's hair. She'd recently made a new friend and had been invited to go over to said friend's house, Destiny giggled and was playing with her ruffly skirt she loved.

"Now remember sweetheart, be on your best behaviour alright?" Said Phil.

"I know papa, I know now hurry" Said Destiny excitedly, Phil chuckled and ruffled her hair. He could tell she was really excited by this, after all she had spent the last few weeks trying to get her new friend Anna the perfect present, which was especially hard as Anna came from a family that was more...well off than Dan and Phil were. Still, Anna and Destiny were best friends, as much as Dan and Phil were.

"Alright, done. Now lets go." Said Phil, she smiled and hugged Dan who kissed her forehead.

"Love you, have a nice time and please be good." Said Dan, she nodded and went over to Phil who took her hand.

"I'll be back soon, love you." Said Phil kissing Dan and Zachary, before heading off with Destiny. Dan served Zachary his oatmeal which the toddler immediately wrinkled his nose at. Dan chuckled at this.

"I know you don't like it, but it is whats necessary to help you grow up big and strong. Now eat up, we have to do some shopping and then we're going to have a family discussion later." Said Dan, the two year old immediately looked up at him and Phil still had yet to tell him about his...predicament and they decided that today would be the day. As soon as Destiny returned from Anna's birthday party, they would tell the children. Once Zachary was done, and they were ready Phil returned and they headed to the shopping center.

" Can I get candy?" Asked Zachary, when he noticed the candy store.

"Sure, if papa says yes." Said Dan, Phil picked up Zachary and hoisted him on his shoulders making the two year old laugh.

"we'll be just a minutes." Said Phil, Dan smiled and nodded as they headed into the store. While he went to get at least some of the groceries on the list, he noticed out of the corner of his eye though someone staring at him. Not just anyone though, he recognized him from the hospital as a doctor, he'd stared at him then too. He looked up, and smiled.

"Hey, can I help you?" Asked Dan.
