Paul rubbed his hand over his face as he walked through the front door. He made his way into the kitchen where Bella stood putting the last touches on their dinner. She greeted him with a sweet smile and a kiss.

"How was work?" She asked.

He shrugged. "Busy. Annoying. Filled with women who see the muscles but not the ring?" He sighed.

"They can't have you, so ignore them." She teased.

He chuckled. "I'm a one woman wolf."

"Hungry?" She asked, laughing when she heard his stomach growl.

He smirked. "Yeah… I could eat."

"Daddy!" Makenzii raced down the hall, hugging him tight.

"Hey princess. Where's Bradyden?"

'Click. Clack. Click. Clack.'

Bella turned her back on her family to hide her amusement. Paul eyed his four year old protégée as he wobbled into the kitchen. He turned horrified eyes to his wife, catching her gaze through the reflection of the kitchen window.

"Brayden… buddy… why are you wearing a dress… and… fairy wings?" He wouldn't comment on the make up Makenzii had taken from Bella's makeup bag- nor would he say anything about the high heeled shoes that his mother so dearly loved.

Brayden turned his wide innocent green eyes up to his daddy and gave him a huge grin. "Fairy god mommy!"

Bella snickered. Paul blinked- clearly baffled.

"Kenzii's princess! I'm god mommy! See…. I have the wings! I can fly!" He turned and shook his back making the wings flop and the dress rustle.

Makenzii giggled. Paul shivered. His poor boy. So this is what living around girls all day did to a little man. He scooped his son up into his arms while his daughter giggled beside Bella. He didn't have the heart to tell his son he'd been ganged up on by the women in the house.

"How about you give 'Kenzii her dress back. You can help me with the car." Paul compromised.

"After dinner!" Bella warned.

Paul arched an eyebrow. "Ok. After dinner. You have to eat all your food though. Both of you do."

"But green beans are yucky!" Makenzii pouted.

"Worms!" Brayden giggled.

Bella chuckled and helped her son out of the princess dress, tiara, heels and fairy wings. She caught Paul shivering and smirked. He'd never say anything bad about his son playing dress up. He loved his children to much to ever destroy their confidence that way. She knew though, deep down, he'd love nothing more than to burn all the dresses in the house.

"I'll be princess tomorrow?" Brayden asked Bella.

Bella kissed his cheek, pretending to pout when he brushed it away just as fast. "You can try. I think Makenzii likes being a princess though buddy."

"Can I be daddy's princess?" He asked.

Makenzii glared and crossed her arms. "I'm daddy's princess!"

Little brothers. Ugh!

Paul grinned. "Of course you are. And Brayden is my lil man."

Brayden grinned in satisfaction. "I'm daddy's lil man!"

Paul sighed and shook his head. How he loved his family.
