Disclaimer: I don't own Dan and Phil nor anyone associated with them
Hey guys, so yes stuff did go down between Charlie and Dan and Phil, as we all know both in the fic and IRL, and after extensive research I have done my best to categorize. Alos, guess whose coming? Yup, I think most of you know, oh and if you don't read 'Another Makes Four' then you probably don't know that I am now calling you guys Pastries thats how it is.
She read all there was, the old tweets and how they started friendly but over time seemed to be more and more condescending. She also read, how he'd had a boyfriend right around the time he and papa broke up..only to break the boyfriend's nose by punching him in the face after a breakup they had. He was younger than Papa, she'd expected that..but she hadn't expected him to be a year younger than dad. Immediately she did the math, if dad met Papa when Papa was seventeen or eighteen, but he dated Charlie at the time. That put Charlie at seventeen or sixteen right around the time. Wasn't that wrong? Did Papa know? Did Charlie? Did Dad? Did anybody know? She knitted her brows and read more. About how right around the time of the tweets, Papa had a restraining order taken against him...then another one. What had Charlie done that Papa wanted two restraining orders against him?
She bit her lip, and wondered...she sighed, and got up once her parents called her for dinner. The twelve year old went over, and she stopped slightly as Dan laughed while Phil was whispering something to him.
"Phil, stop not right now, wait until later, stop." Said Dan with a small chuckle as Phil had his arms around his waist and went from whispering to kissing his neck repeatedly. He chuckled, and kissed Phil back. She gave a small half smile, she was still curious about who Charlie was but, she was glad that her parents had found each other. Dan noticed that Destiny was there and stopped.
"Hey sweetheart, dinner's just about done why don't you set the table please." Said Dan, she nodded and went to do so, to see Lillian coloring in her books..and on the tablecloth.
"Lily no thats bad!" Exclaimed Destiny, immediately taking the crayon from her sister's hand. Lillian immediately started crying, causing Dan and Phil to go over.
" What happened?" Asked Phil, as Lillian reached for him. He picked her up, and she clung to him before pointing at Destiny.
"Desty is mean!" Exclaimed the five year old.
"I'm not mean, she was drawing on the table cloth so I took her crayon away." Replied Destiny, Dan gently placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Sweetheart, there was a nicer way you could've gotten her to stop like asking her not to or even getting us, you may be older but it is not your job to punish your younger siblings." Said Dan, Destiny sighed and looked away. Phil, turned to the two year old hiccuping and sniffling. He gently brushed some of her hair back comfortingly.
" And you little one, please don't draw on tablecloths ok? only draw and color on paper." Said Phil gently, Lillian nodded and hugged Phil who lightly rubbed her back. "There there sweetheart, no more tears now. "
"This is why I want a brother." Said Zachary, who looked away when Dan and Phil gave him a small look. Destiny went back to setting the table, while Phil set Lillian back down where she was sitting. Dan headed back to the kitchen to get the food, while Zachary sat down next to Lillian who got he crayon Destiny had previously taken away and handed it back to his little sister. She immediately smiled and giggled, Phil smiled though he saw that Destiny was looking a bit down or pensive.
"Are you alright love?" Asked Phil.
" Yeah...papa..you know how you mentioned Charlie...your old friend..was he your ex boyfriend? "She asked, at the doorway Dan tensed up as he went over and served the food whilst Phil sat up straighter.
"He was but I don't like talking about him, and besides I said I'd tell you when you're older." Said Phil, Dan bit his lip as he sat down and cleared his throat to change the subject. Though Destiny kept pushing, as she was honestly tired with that response.
"You always say that, 'oh I'll tell you when you're older' 'You'll understand when you're older', 'I'll explain everything when you're older' every year you say that, and every year you never do. I'm older now, I'll be thirteen in nine months how much older do I have to be?" She asked, her face turning slightly red. Phil sighed, and tried his best to remain calm.
" Sweetheart, I know you want to know things but in this household your dad and I make the rules. And we say not yet, so not yet. "
" Why? I can handle it! I can handle knowing a lot of the things you haven't said,like how dad hated himself or even about your ex boyfriend, who was a teenager when you were dating." She exclaimed, and immediately the room fell silent, Dan immediately stood up.
"Young lady, go to your room right now." Said Dan sternly, she immediately got up and stomped to her room slamming the door. Dan sighed, and went over to Phil, who was sitting there shocked. He'd honestly never expected that, never did he think that his daughter would blow up at him like that...maybe Dan was right, he looked up as Dan hugged him and lightly ran a hand through his hair.
"Um..dad...papa." Said Zachary, he and Lillian sat there very confused.
