"So mommy, I have a question?" Sam asked Shai. Shai was playing with Luca who at the moment was constantly grabbed his ears.
"What?"
"Will you go to prom with Daddy?"
"Excuse me?" She asked.
"Daddy asked me to ask you to prom. He wants to go with you."
"You do?"
"I could find a date if you'd like but you are my wife so I'm stuck with you." I joked as I fed Fallyn.
"I would love to go and I can even wear my wedding dress."
"Economical."
"Very. I think I'm going to set up a doctor's appointment for Luca. He's been grabbing his ears a lot lately."
"It's probably nothing."
"It could be an ear ache or infection or something and we can't let it get worse. What if Fallyn gets it?"
"True. Go make the appointment." I sighed and she ran off into our bedroom to make the call. Luca was sitting in his carrier on the table making funny noises while Fallyn sucked greedily on her bottle.
"My graduation is coming up soon." Sam told me.
"I know. I'm very excited and I can't wait to see you walk across the stage. I'm graduating soon too."
"I'll take pictures. Mrs. Mitchell said I could."
"That's nice of her. Your concert is coming up soon."
"I'm really excited daddy. I sound good."
"I bet you do. Can you go get me a onesie for Fallyn please? She just threw up on herself."
"Ew." He giggled and ran up to the nursery.
"I got us an appointment for the day before prom. It's the earliest they have."
"Well good thing prom is next week. I'm sorry I didn't ask you sooner. I just wanted to make sure we would be able to go."
"It's fine. Eww, Fallyn, keep the food down, not on your shirt." Shai giggled and picked up Luca and hugged him to her chest.
"Here you go." Sam handed me a onesie and I cleaned Fallyn up.
"Can we go to the park?"
"Sounds fun. Let's go." Shai smiled and went to get the twins diaper bag. Sam ran and got his shoes and I prepared to have the best day with my family.

"Do we have to watch this stupid movie?" I whined as Logan stared at the screen.
"Yes now shut up."
"No." I pouted and I saw him give a laugh.
"Shouldn't you be at the doctor with Shai?"
"She said to come here and make sure you're okay with the suit."
"Where's Sam?"
"He's at school."
"Thank God we have the day off before and after prom."
"That's smart of the school. Don't want anyone going to school drunk."
"Will you be drinking tomorrow?"
"No, I still have kids to get home to."
"My mom is looking forward to seeing the twins and Sam again."
"Sam likes your mom's cookies." I said as my phone rang.
"Hello? This is him….oh no…okay…I'll be there soon." I hung up and grabbed my jacket.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm not going to prom, Sam's sick." I gave a shrug, jumped in my car and headed to his school. I walked into the nurses' office and saw Sam lying on the little bed in the corner.
"He threw up and he has a pretty high fever." The nurse informed me as I signed him out.
"Yeah, my wife is at the doctor with our twins. We think one of them is sick too."
"The stomach virus is going around." She warned as I went over and picked Sam up.
"I threw up." He whispered against my shoulder.
"I know." I rubbed his back and headed out to the car. I buckled him in and drove home.
"Get up to bed. I'll be up in a few to check on you."
"I'm hungry."
"I'll make you some soup. Go put your pajamas on." He ran upstairs and I went to put soup on the stove.
"Kendall?" Shai called out.
"In the kitchen." She put Luca and Fallyn on the table and came up and hugged me.
"Well, Luca has an ear infection and Fallyn has a small stomach bug. We can't go to prom."
"Sam's upstairs in bed with a stomach ache. He threw up in school. I had to go pick him up."
"Perfect, just perfect. I just wanted to go to prom like a normal teenager. I missed every other dance because I couldn't find a babysitter for Sam but I thought this could be perfect." Shai said as she wiped her eyes.
"Hey, don't cry. We kinda had prom when we got married."
"It's not the same." She sighed and gave Luca his ear drops.
"I'm sorry but this is what parenthood is about."
"Yeah, yeah. Go give Sam his soup." She sighed and put her head in her hands. I brought Sam his soup and sat down at the end of his bed.
"What's wrong daddy?"
"Mommy's sad."
"Oh."
"I don't know how to make it better."
"Call Logan. He's smart."
"You're a genius." I pulled my phone out and dialed him.
"Hey, I have an idea."

"Kendall, I can't go outside right now. Sam is coughing up a storm." Shai sighed as she stirred more soup. It was the day of prom and I had a surprise for her.
"But the moon is so…big tonight." I lied.
"Kendall, go check Luca and make sure he's not sleeping on his left ear."
"No." I picked her up, turned off the stove and carried her outside.
"Put me down!"
"Surprise!" I said as I placed her on the ground. Logan and I set up a small table with lights surrounding it. There was a radio playing some music and Logan was smiling in his tuxedo.
"What is this?"
"Prom."
"We have to go back inside. We left the twins and Sam in there."
"Logan's mom is in there. I hid her in the bathroom before."
"You little..." She slapped my arm and I chuckled and pulled her closer to me.
"Would you like to dance?" I asked and started to sway back and forth with her.
"I love you." She whispered.
"I love you more and you deserve to be at prom but I figured this was just as good."
"It's better. LOGAN! Come dance with me." She called out and Logan came and started to sway and giggle with her. I went back inside and saw Mrs. Mitchell laying with sleeping Sam on the couch, the twins in the carriers across the room.
"Kendall, is everything all right?"
"Everything is perfect."
"Your mom and I were best friends growing up and… she would be very proud of you."
"You think?"
"I know she would. She would have loved Shailene too. She reminds me so much of your mom."
"She does. Thanks for helping with everything."
"Does Shai know that you've been getting the money from us?"
"She thinks it's my grandma who's been sending money."
"Are you ever going to tell her?"
"Are you ever going to tell Logan that we're brothers?" I countered back.
"…I don't think that's a good idea."
"I think it is. His dad is my dad too."
"I know but I think what we have going it good for right now. Let's not mess it up."
"Fine. Thanks for everything."
"No problem." She gave a small smile and I headed back outside.
"I missed you Kendall."
"I missed you too baby. Are you having fun?"
"Hell yes! The punch bowl adds a nice authentic touch." She giggled. I pulled her against my chest and squeezed her tight.
"You know I'd do anything for you right?" she nodded against my chest. "Good, thank you for coming to prom with me."
"Shut up and dance with me." She giggled and started dancing with Logan and me. Maybe this wasn't the most traditional prom but…what was traditional about our dysfunctional family?
