Dan yawned as he sat up and stretched. Was it morning already, really?. He rubbed his eyes then looked to the side of him. Phil wasn't there. Dan frowned slightly. Emily must have been awake pretty early this morning. It was hard to believe their beautiful little girl was already three years old. Time just seemed to fly by. Dan stood up and walked over to his dresser, pulling on the first shirt he saw. He then walked out of his room and made his way towards the kitchen. Knowing Phil would be there.
Phil heard Dan coming and looked up at the kitchen door smiling. He giggled slightly as he saw his lover and walked over to him. Phil looked at him and then hugged him tightly. "Hello baby" he said blushing.
Dan smiled at Phil and hugged him tighter, giving him a small peck on the lips "good morning" he replied softly. "Daddy!" Emily shouted excitedly, her little face lighting up with joy. She stood up from her little table where her crayons and colouring book lay, and ran over to Dan. Dan grinned as turned towards her and picked her up, hugging her tightly "good morning princess, how are you today?" he asked as continued to grin at her. She giggled cutely and grinned at him "good" he said with a nod. Dan chuckled softly then let her down. He ruffled her hair softly then turned back to Phil.
Phil looked at the two and smiled away delighted with his little girl and lover. "Are you hungry baby?" Phil asked Dan looking at him. Phil couldn't help his eyes wondering for some reason. He was just so.. he didn't even know what he was at that point, but he looked at his lover again and grinned happily.
"hmm, I guess. I think we should have some Delia Smith pancakes" Dan smiled happily "yay, pancakes" Emily chimed as she skipped around. "pancakes, pancakes". Dan grinned as he pecked Phil's cheek.
Phil giggled and kissed Dan on his lips only for a second. Emily went back to her colouring book and Dan stood by Phil getting out the ingredients while Phil made pancakes for his beautiful family. They all ate. Emily yawned , indicating it was time for a short nap. Dan smiled softly as he took her to her room then tucked her into her bad. "Have a nice nap angel" he whispered and kissed her forehead lightly. Then he closed Emily's bedroom door and walked back into the living room where Phil was laying in the couch.
Dan smirked slightly "hey beautiful" he said as be carefully sat down next to Phil. "I hope you're not forgetting our plans for today?" he said, turning to look at the clock.
Phil giggled. " hello baby" he said softly. "Of course not what Time are we leaving?" He asked
Dan looked thoughtful for a few moments before turning back to Phil "at about two, we need to drop Emily off at Chris and PJ's house. we have a play date before we have our date tonight remember" he said as smiled softly. They had arranged a play date a while ago. Not that long ago Chris and PJ finally managed to adopt a little girl. They adopted little Abbey who was turning 3 in a few months from now. Even though Abbey and Emily were both very young it could be seen by anyone they were going to be best friends for a long time.
"Alright," Phil said smiling at the thought of date night with Dan. Phil looked at the clock, it was 1pm. Phil slowly wrapped his arms around Dan, snuggling into him "lets cuddle for a while.
Dan hugged Phil back tightly smiling "yeah, cuddles sound good" he whispered as he help Phil closer to himself.
They stayed in this position until 1:30. Phil smiled softly as he escaped form Dan's embrace and stood up. "I'll go get ready now, do you want me to get Emily ready or will you?" Phil asked walking towards his bedroom door.
"I'll get her ready" he said as he stood up "you take all the time you need getting ready beautiful" he said with a small wink then laughed. Dan then walked into Emily's room seeing her sleeping in her little toddler bed. he gently leaned down and stroked her hair "Emily wake up" she grumbled softly snuggling under the covers more. Dan chuckled as he continued to stroke his daughters hair "we're going to see uncle Chris and PJ, you know who will be there". Emily sat up almost instantly as she grinned at Dan. "Abbey!" she exclaimed excitedly "can I play dress up with Abbey, pleaseeee?" she asked sweetly. Dan picked Emily up and hugged her tightly "we'll take your dress up outfits over there. but first, we need to get you dressed" he chuckled.
Phil giggled and winked back at Dan. He walked into their bedroom and pulled open a drawer with shirts. He pulled a blue shirt out of the drawer and threw it on his and Dan's made bed. He then opened another drawer and pulled out some black skinny jeans which were Dan's ,but he didn't think Dan would care much. Another drawer was opened and he grabbed some underwear and socks. He then made his way to the shower and turned on the hot water first then the cold, being sure the water wasn't too hot. He closed the door and he started to undress himself. Shirt first then pants and underwear, he stepped into the shower and instantly got into the water.
Dan hummed softly to himself as he helped Emily get dressed into a red tartan dress with a black cardigan, white socks and little black shoes. he grinned at her as he finished placing her shoes on her small feet. "stay in here while daddy gets dressed". he said softly. he handed her her lion toy then smiled at her once more before walking to his and Phil's room to get dressed.
Phil was still in the shower and he heard Dan come into the room. He had forgotten his clothes out in the room forgetting to bring them to the bathroom. "Damnit" Phil said quietly. He just blew it off and continued washing his body and making sure to smell extra good.
Dan quickly got dressed. he was about to leave the room when he saw Phil's clothes laying on the bed. he smirked slightly to himself as he picked them up and walked into the bathroom. "forget something" he teased as he set the clothes down. "I'll be in Emily's room if you need me" he said before leaving the room with a chuckle.
Phil giggled. "Yes, thank you baby" Phil said washing his hair. Phil washed out the shampoo from his hair and looked outside to make sure there were towels. He got slightly annoyed as he noticed there weren't. So then he yelled for Dan, again.
Dan sighed softly as he walked back to the bathroom "yes Phil?" he asked from the other side of the door.
"Can you grab me a towel? I forgot mine" Phil said sadly stepping out of the shower and moving his clothes so he didn't get them wet.
Dan chuckled softly, walking to the cupboard and grabbing a towel. he then walked back to the bathroom and handed Phil the towel "there you go" he said with a small smile before yet again leaving Phil to see their daughter.
"Thank you baby" Phil said chuckling. Phil then slipped on his underwear and then dried the rest of his body slipping on his shirt, then shortly after slipping on his pants. He walked into his and Dan's room and brushed his hair sitting on the bed to put on his socks walking out and putting on his black vans. He walked to Emily's door and looked at Dan. "Ready baby." he said.
Dan grinned up at Phil from the floor where him and Emily were having a 'tea party' "okay" he said, he turned to Emily again "come on Em, lets get your jacket on then we can get going". Emily smiled happily as she got up and ran over to her coat, trying to put it on but failing.
Phil giggled slightly and walked over to Emily helping her with her coat. "Its alright honey, here" He said as he held out her sleeve for her to put her tiny little arm into. After he helped her he grabbed his own jacket and put it on opening the door for Dan and Emily.
Dan quickly cheeked they had everything before taking Emily's hand in his. "lets go" he said chuckling slightly as he saw how excited his daughter looked. she grinned as they walked out the front door "yay" she chimed as she grinned excitedly.
Phil closed and locked the door and they were off. Dan got in the drivers seat of the car as Phil walked back and put Em in her car seat buckling her up happily then closing the door getting in the passenger seat.
Dan quickly started the car, beginning their journey to Chris and PJ's house. it was only about a ten minute journey by car so they would be there in no time. "Hey Em, are you excited?" he asked softly smiling to himself.
Em started smiling "Yes!" she said giggling. Phil looked at Dan driving. admiring his perfection. Phil leaned and kissed Dan's cheek blushing. Hoping he wouldn't scold him for kissing while Emily was there.
Dan chuckled softly, laying his hand on Phil's thigh softly "I love you beautiful" he said as they turned the corner before their friends house. Dan carefully parked the car then got out, going to let Emily out of her car seat then lifted her out of the car. "time to see uncle Chris and PJ" he said happily.
Phil looked at Dan blushing, " I love you too gorgeous" He said getting out of the car and opening the door for the two.
Dan locked the car then made his way up the concrete stairs, holding Emily's hand tightly. when they got to Chris and PJ's front door he knocked loudly, smiling softly as he thought about the day ahead.
PJ came to the door and picked up Emily, smiling happily "hey Em" he greeted. Phil smiled softly as him and Dan walked into the house, following PJ to the living room. PJ placed Emily down then turned to hug Phil "it's good to see you guys".
Emily smiled wildly as she saw Chris walk into the room with Abbey in his arms "Abbey!" she shouted excitedly as she grinned. Chris smiled at Emily, placing Abbey down next to Emily. "Abbey" she chimed again, hugging her friend "Emily" Abbey giggled, returning the gesture. Chris smiled happily as he watched them "how cute are they?"
PJ chuckled softly before walking over to Chris and wrapping his arms around his lovers waist. "cute, but not as cute as you". "get a room guys" Dan joked as he walked over to them followed by Phil.
Chris laughed as he kissed PJ's cheek "come on then guys, have a seat". they all sat down on the two couches in the room, smiling happily as they watched their daughters happily playing together. Phil was broken out of his thoughts as he watched Emily stand up and walk over to them. "Daddy?" she asked sweetly.
"yes honey?" Dan answered, giving her a small smile. "can I have my princess dresses and tea set now please?" she asked politely, flashing Abbey a small smile. "of course" Dan answered, reaching into Emily's bad and pulling out the required items. "now who wants to be snow white?" he asked smiling.
"meeeeee" Abbey shouted jumping up and rushing over. Chris and PJ both laughed at their daughters actions "now want do you say to Emily for letting you borrow it?" PJ asked gently "Thank youuuu" he giggled as she hugged Emily. Phil smiled softly as we watched the two girls getting changed into the dresses, giggling cutely at each other. They really were adorable. "Can you do the button up daddy?" Emily asked, turning to Phil. Phil nodded as he buttoned up the back of the dress and smiled softly "there we go, pretty as a princess" he said then kissed Emily's head gently before watching her and Abbey set up their princess tea party in the middle of the room.
"are you sure you guys are okay looking after Emily tonight?" Dan asked softly. It had been ages since him and Phil had been on a proper date so when Chris and PJ had offered to look after Emily for the evening they jumped at the chance.
"of course, you two need a night out" Pj answered smiling. "more like a night /alone/" Chris laughed. "Chris!" PJ whined, hitting his lover gently "not in front of the kids" they all laughed, grinning at each other. Phil had missed spending time with his friends.
Before they knew it, it was time to leave. Dan smiled softly as he hugged Emily goodbye "goodbye baby girl" he said as he lightly kissed her head. He then moved to hug Chris and PJ "bye guys, thanks again"
Phil grinned hugging his daughter tightly "goodbye my little lion" he said, ruffling her hair "be good for uncle Chris and uncle PJ" he grinned before standing up and hugging his friends. "bye" he called out a final time before shutting the front door.
"do you think she'll be okay with them for the evening?" Dan asked nervously as they walked to the car. he was always worried about letting Emily out of his sight. he knew Chris and PJ would look after her but he was just a rather over protective parent.
"She'll be fine baby." Phil said reassuring him everything was okay.
"come on, lets go" Phil grinned, getting into the car.
Dan did the same, also smiling. He lightly took Phil's hand in his "I have a surprise" he said softly, now starting the engine "you just sit back and relax"
Phil did as he was told, Sighing contently as he sat back in the chair. He closed his eyes, feeling completely relaxed as Dan drove him to wherever he was being taken.
