"Come on Rafe, bud. We have to get your room cleaned before mommy gets home, OK?" Roger called out as he started picking up the toys in the living room.
"But daddy. I wanna play more." the blond haired, blue eyed 2 and a half year old whined looking up from his blocks.
"I know bud, and we will, but we should clean up first, OK? That way, mommy doesn't come home to a messy house and yell at daddy;." he smiled as he picked Rafe up.
"Mommy won't yell at you." he giggled as roger held him in the air.
"When you get me in trouble she does." he laughed bringing him in for a hug.
"I don't get you in trouble, you protastimate." he laughed as Roger kissed his head.
"That's procrastinate bud." he laughed as he let him down.
"Daddy, when we're done will you play with me more?" Rafe asked smiling up at him.
"Sure bud. Anything for my boy." he smiled as they began cleaning up the toys.
"Daddy, can Unka Collins come over?" Rafe asked putting his cars in the toy box.
"I don't know Rafe. I'll call him and Uncle Ty and see what they're doing tonight, OK?" he said smiling at him.
"Yay." he shouted jumping up and down excitedly.
"OK bud, we're almost down. What do you want to play now?" Roger asked putting the rest of the toys away.
"I wanna play guitar with you daddy." he smiled looking up at him.
"Oh yeah? You do know your mom's gonna strangle me if you become a musician." Roger laughed looking down at him.
"Mommy likes when you play guitar daddy." Rafe told him smiling.
"That's because I sing mommy songs that I wrote for her." Roger smiled retrieving his guitar.
"I wanna sing mommy songs that I wrote for her." Rafe smiled following him.
"When you get bigger, OK bud?" Roger said smiling down at his son.
"OK daddy." he said sitting on the couch with his little guitar as the door opened.
"Isn't this a sight? My two boys, both with guitars on their laps." Sara smiled as she entered the apartment.
"Mommy." Rafe called out as he dropped his guitar and ran to greet her.
"Hey peanut. Were you and daddy good today?" she asked picking him up.
"Me and daddy cleaned up for you. And daddy said maybe Unka Collins and Unka Ty can come over." he told her as she smiled at him.
"Oh really? That sounds like fun." she smiled as Roger put his guitar down to greet her.
"Hi Boobie." he smiled leaning down to kiss her.
"I see you two had fun today." Sara smiled putting Rafe down.
"I always have fun with daddy." Rafe smiled looking up at Sara.
"Is daddy teaching you any cool songs?" Sara asked laughing.
"Not yet. I'm too little, daddy said." he said looking up at her as Roger went into the kitchen.
"When you get bigger daddy'll teach you awesome songs." she smiled as Roger began making dinner.
"I can't wait. I wanna sing like daddy does." he said following her around.
"I know you do peanut. You will." she smiled looking down at him.
"Boobie, I'm gonna make dinner. Why don't you call Collins and Ty and see if they wanna join us." Roger suggested smiling at her.
"OK. Good idea. Rafe really likes having the two of them around, huh?" she laughed as Rafe went running off to his room.
"Sara, do you think we're making a mistake not having another baby?" Roger asked looking down at her.
"What makes you bring this up now?" she looked over at him.
"I don't know, he just seems so alone." Roger said looking over towards Rafe's room.
"Roger, he's still little. He'll be OK. Why? Do you want another baby?" she asked looking up at him.
"Maybe." he smiled looking down.
"Can we talk about this later Love knot? I need to call Collins and Ty." she smiled looking up at him.
"Does that mean you want to?" he asked turning to her.
"Possibly." she said smiling up at him.
"Are you serious?" he asked wrapping his arms around her waist.
"I've been thinking about it. I'm an only child and I don't want Rafe to be too." she said holding his arms.
"I understand Boobie." he said smiling at her.
"Now, let's get Uncle Collins and Uncle Ty over here." she smiled leaning up to kiss him.
"Hi Aunt Mimi, Unka Doug." Rafe called out as Mimi entered the apartment. She and Doug had been dating about 2 years and he moved in with her.
"Hey punk. You driving dad crazy?" Doug asked picking Rafe up.
"No, daddy's fun." Rafe smiled sitting in his arms.
"Doug, you had better not be trying to corrupt my son like you've corrupted my husband." Sara yelled coming out of her and Roger's bedroom.
"Hey Sara." Doug said smiling at her.
"Hello Doug. Hi Mimi." she said hugging Mimi.
"Hi chica. Where's Roger?" she asked smiling at her.
"He's with Mark. He needed strings for his guitar and Mark was going to the film store." she smiled going to the kitchen for some water.
"What's for dinner?" Doug asked putting Rafe down.
"Lasagna. Collins and Ty should be here any minute and Rika's gonna come down when Mark and Roger get back." she said drinking her water.
"Aunt Mimi, will you play cars with me?" Rafe asked tugging at her shirt.
"Sure nino. Come on." she said holding her hand out to him as they went into his room.
"Hey Boobie, guess what I found." Roger said excitedly as he entered the apartment.
"Oh I hate sentences that start like that." Sara laughed looking up at him.
"Isn't this the coolest thing you've ever seen?" he asked holding up a little guitar.
"Roger, he's too little for that." she laughed as Doug went over to him to get a closer look at the guitar.
"This is so cool Rog. I can't believe they make them so small." he said laughing as he took the guitar from Roger.
"Come on Boobie. He wants to learn how to play." Roger said as Sara moved closer to him.
"Roger, you were going for guitar strings for your guitar. How did Rafe end up with a guitar?" she asked looking up at him.
"I saw it and immediately thought of him." he laughed putting his arms around her.
"You're insane." she laughed as Rafe came running out of his room.
"Daddy, you're home." he yelled running up to him.
"Hey bud. Guess what I got for you today." he asked looking up at him as he picked him up.
"What did you get me?" he asked smiling at him as Roger reached out for the guitar. "Is that mine daddy?" he asked looking at as his eyes widened.
"It sure is bud. Now I can teach you for real." Roger said as Rafe reached for the guitar.
"This is the best guitar ever daddy." he said smiling at it.
"I thought so." Roger smiled seeing his son so happy.
"You are one lucky little boy to have your dad get you the best guitar ever." Mimi said smiling at him as Doug put his arms around her waist.
"Daddy's the best." Rafe said smiling at Roger before squirming to get down so he could play with his guitar.
"Roger, you're gonna spoil him." Sara laughed watching her son sit on the floor with the guitar across his lap the way Roger holds it.
"That's OK. I like spoiling him." he smiled putting his arms around her waist again.
"Hey, I hear there's a little boy down here who just got a new guitar." Erika said entering the apartment.
"Yeah, daddy got it for me. Look Aunt Rika." Rafe called out as he looked up at her excitedly.
"I see little one. That is a very cool guitar." Erika said sitting on the floor next to him.
"I can't believe you let him buy that for him Mark." Sara said smiling at Mark as he entered the apartment with Collins and Ty following closely behind.
"What was I gonna tell him? No you can't buy the baby a guitar? Yeah right. You know him longer than anyone, tell me. Would that have worked?" Mark asked laughing as he watched Rafe and Rika.
"OK, you got a point." Sara laughed as Roger kissed her head.
"OK little man. Show us what you got." Collins said as he and Ty sat on the couch.
"Daddy didn't teach me anything yet." he said looking up at him.
"OK Roger. You called us all over here for dinner. In this family, I know better than to think it was just because." Ty said smiling up at Roger and Sara.
"OK, he's been in this family way too long." Erika said smiling up at them.
"Yeah, you think." Roger laughed as he held Sara tighter.
"OK Ty. You got us. Guys, Roger and I are gonna try to have another baby." Sara said smiling at them as everyone yelled happily.
"Chica, that's amazing. When are you gonna start trying?" Mimi asked hugging her.
"Well I went to the doctor already and I have to start taking hormone shots and then I'm gonna be artificially inseminated." Sara told her smiling as Rafe looked up at them.
"A baby mommy?" Rafe asked smiling up at them.
"Yes peanut. Mommy and daddy are gonna have another baby. You're gonna be a big brother." Sara said smiling down at him as he discarded his guitar to get up and go to her.
"Where is the baby mommy?" he asked looking up at her before Roger leaned down to pick him up.
"The baby is gonna be in my belly like you were peanut." she said pointing down at her belly.
"I was in there? But I'm too big mommy." he asked looking down at her confused.
"You were little then. That's why me and daddy call you peanut. You were little like a peanut." Sara said smiling up at him.
"Wow." he said in awe of what he just heard.
"This deserves a celebration." Collins said jumping up to hug Roger and Sara.
"Everything deserves a celebration to you Thomas." Sara laughed hugging him tight.
"Well with this family, it happens to be true." he laughed hugging Roger who still had Rafe in his arms.
"Yeah daddy. Can we celebrate with Unka Collins? Please." Rafe asked excitedly.
"OK peanut. We can celebrate. But we have to eat dinner first, OK?" she laughed smiling up at them.
