A few months passed and it was Sophia's 3 birthday, everyone was gathered for the occasion. Sophia was starting to develop her own behaviors after being around the bohos so much and realizing everyone was different, she had developed Mo's sass, Mimi's sense of humor, Roger's love for music which also pleased him as he finally found someone who would ask him to play the guitar for them even if it was Musetta's Waltz over and over, it was shocking to everyone that Sophia actually liked for him to play that for her.
"How old are you kid?" Roger questioned, sitting down at the table with the others as they waited for Collins and Angel to bring the cake.
Sophia rolled her eyes, and held up three fingers. She'd been asked the question multiple times today by every single person there.
"Sophia, you're so sassy." Angel commented, noticing her eye roll as she brought the cake in there, Collins lighting the candles.
Sophia blushed at her mother, everyone now singing to her. Once the song was over Angel told her to make a wish and then blow out the candles, the basic run down and the gesture, telling her to of course not tell anyone or it wouldn't come true.
They opened presents and played games, Roger's had his cousin bring over her daughter, Eve, who was a few years older than Sophia was and luckily as laid back as she was. Sophia was still shy, sass or no sass, and had never really had the chance to be around many kids in her life so it was new to her but eventually she got used to it and they played with her new toys together.
"Ha, Collins, Angel. I think your daughter is figuring her life out at a very young age." Roger stated, everyone looking at the kids.
Sophia was wrapped in Eve's arms while she read her a story since Sophia had yet to learn how to read. Collins looked at Angel who was flush but smiling.
"Maybe she'll play for the team neither of you do." Mimi laughed.
"Aw, look Jo, she's gonna play for our team." Maureen chimed in making Collins laugh and hug the brunette.
"We wouldn't mind…I mean of course not." Angel pointed out obviously.
"If she is she'll be one of those straight looking lesbians." Collins said surely.
Getting a smack on both arms from Angel and Maureen. Collins murmured in pain and rubbed his biceps to get the stinging feeling to go away.
"Mark, What do you think?" Roger questioned, the blonde's camera pointed at the two little ones.
Mark chuckled, trying to keep the camera steady when doing so. "I think it's adorable really. Little So's got a girlfriend."
"And can't even read yet." Joanne said, wrapping her arms around Mo's waist.
"She's gonna be a player."Roger, Maureen, and Mimi went in unison, trading smiles once they noticed.
"Hopefully not like you Mo." Collins hoped, voicing it aloud which earned hm another smack; this time to the chest, flinching at the hit's power, "Would you stop doing that?!"
Maureen grumbled, everyone trying to hold in laughter at the two's short fight. Everyone's attention had fell from the kids until Sophia ran into the kitchen and tugged at Angel's dress.
"Yes, sweetheart?"
"We're thirsty." Sophia told them, Collins retrieving two drinks from the fridge and handing them to her.
She started to run off but Collins grabbed her and placed her on the counter, everyone smiling, knowing Collins they all knew where this was going. "What do you think of Eve?"
"Hmm…she's nice." Sophia answered.
Roger smile, "Soph, is she your girlfriend? You two seem to be taking a liking to each other."
Sophia looked at Roger with wide eyes, "Erm…we're just close…" she murmured, looking down.
Angel giggled, smirking, "That's what aunt Maureen and Joanne claimed at a time too."
They all laughed, Sophia giving everyone a strange look. Once the laughter settled Angel continued the conversation. "It's alright if you like her, sweetheart, I mean you've met all our friends, we'll love you either way and you know that."
"Well of course I know that." Sophia rolled her eyes, "That's not it…"
"What's wrong, baby?" Angel questioned, kissing the top of her head.
Sophia shrugged, "What if she doesn't like me?"
"What's not to like?" Mimi questioned.
"Exactly. I mean she'll love you, you do great hair and nails." Roger told her, giving her a thumbs up.
"Yep, you sure do. And you're always so pretty and you sing like an angel." Mark commented.
"I sing like mommy?" She questioned, confused.
Angel and Collins both had to hold back laughter, everyone smiling at her. "What he means is you have a beautiful unique voice and she's sure to love you." Collins corrected.
"You're beautiful and smart." Angel stated.
"Smart? I can't even read." Sophia said, crossing her arms.
"You'll learn eventually, and that's just book smarts, Collins and Angel have raised you to have street smarts as well so you'll have both growing up which is a wonderful thing." Joanne explained to the upset child.
"Anyway, what they're all trying to say is that she will love you." Maureen interrupted Roger as she saw him about to speak, she could tell Sophia just wanted to get back to Eve and she was pretty tired of how dragged out this was getting as well.
"Just get out there and get her, there's no way she'll not like you once you show her your side." Maureen said removing her from the counter and placing her back on the ground.
Sophia went to walk off but turned back to them, "What is she only likes boys like Mimi?"
Maureen laughed, "Your father would've been a better example, honey."
Mimi glared at Maureen, Collins and Angel both laughing and Roger, Mark, and Joanne all giggled to themselves.
"Baby, you just got to go for it." Mimi said after getting over what had been said.
Sophia skipped back into the living room, handing Eve one of the drinks. They sat coloring for awhile, both randomly looking up at one another when the other was looking away.
Mimi shook her head as they all watched, "It's like a fairytale story."
"They never notice the other its looking at them." Mark said, filming once again.
"Mark, do you realize you look like a fucking pedophile right now?" Roger snickered.
Mark shot him a dirty look but quickly tucked his camera away. Collins chuckled and ruffled the blonde's hair before turning to Angel, "I think we got a lesbian on our hands."
Angel laughed, Mimi shrugging as they all went back to watching the kids, "She could be bi, you never know."
