The prompt I based this one off of was 'Your OTP has a small child that asks the "Where do babies come from?" question. How do they react?' or something like that. I figured I should work on my writing skills before I try to combine them with original ideas so I'll be working on prompts for a little bit. I hope I did a decent job on this.

'Momma?'
'Yeah, sweetie?'
'Where do babies come from?'
Crap...'Aria!'
After yelling for my wife, she comes downstairs. 'Keep it down, Spence. Sky's asleep upstairs!' She whisper-yells.
Aria and I have 3 kids. A 15 year old daughter named Nicole, a 5 year old son named Jason, and a 7 month old daughter named Skylar. 'Jay wants to know where babies come from.'
Aria looks surprised. 'What?'
'Where do babies come from?' Jason asks again.
I lean in to whisper in Aria's ear. 'Are we really gonna have this talk with him now? We haven't even talked to Nikki about it yet.'
'Come on, Spence. What's so bad about telling him about Cupid?' Aria asks. She was gonna make up a story? Now?
I blink, a little surprised. 'Go on, then...'
'You know how Cupid makes people fall in love, right?' She pauses. Jason nods and she continues. 'Well, when Cupid feels the couple deserves it, he rewards them. He asks the couple what they want as a reward and then he grants it to them. We've been rewarded three times and each time, we've chosen to have a child.'
Both Jason and I got pulled into that little story. Aria was always a really gifted story teller.
'That's where babies come from?' Jason asks, looking at me for confirmation.
I nod and look to the stairs to see Nicole coming down. She looks so much like Aria when Alison first brought us together. Dyed black hair with hot pink streaks, unique fashion sense...the only physical feature she got from me were my eyes. She's also very smart like I am.
Jason, on the other hand, looks more like me. Brown hair, pretty tall...he's got Aria's hazel eyes though. He inherited her aptitude for art and Nicole got her aptitude for writing. Skylar's still too young for us to be sure, but she seems to like art as well. Yesterday she started drawing with her baby food and it looked pretty good for a baby who's only 7 months.
'Nikki, guess what!' Jason eagerly runs up to his sister.
'What's up, Jay?' Nikki asks kindly. Despite her appearance, she's a very nice girl. The most rebellious thing she's ever done was painting quotes on her walls without our permission.
'Momma and Mommy told me where babies come from!' I'm Momma and Aria's Mommy.
'They did?' Nicole looks at us questioningly. I wink to let her know we made something up. 'Mind telling me?'
Jason brightens up at the chance to share his newly acquired knowledge. 'When Cupid thinks a couple deserves it, he asks them what they want as a reward. Momma and Mommy chose to have us and Sky!'
'Sounds like Momma and Mommy really love us if they chose to have three kids.' Nicole says lovingly, looking at me and Aria.
We pull our kids into a group hug and stay there for a few minutes. That is, until we hear Skylar start waking up.
'I got her.' Aria tells me, pecking my lips and walking back upstairs.
'Hey Jay, why don't you go play outside for a bit? I need to talk to Momma.' Nicole says.
Jason smiles and runs off, putting on his coat before sprinting out the door.
When Jason's gone, Nicole turns to me. 'So, where do babies REALLY come from?'
Crap...'Aria!'
Aria! Haha sounds kinda like my brother when my baby niece starts crying. Anyways, did you like it? Hate it? Wish I'd stop writing? Or would you rather me try and improve? See you in the Jori version my little sugar cubes!
