2 Years later
"Roger, catch that kid." Ava yelled laughing as Lukas ran down the hall naked.
"Get back here you little rat. Why aren't you in the bath?" Roger asked scooping the 2 year old up into his arms.
"I wanna play." he told him smiling up at him.
"Yeah well, mommy has to give you a bath first." he said carrying him to the bathroom.
"I don't wanna take a bath. I wanna play." he pouted as Roger put him in the bathtub.
"Lukas, you have to take a bath before Uncle Collins and Uncle Will come over." Ava smiled squatting down next to the tub.
"How come?" he asked looking up at her with Roger's eyes.
"Because mommy and daddy are going out and Uncle Collins and Uncle Will are gonna watch you and Gail." she smiled bathing the child as Roger sat on the toilet seat and watched.
"But I wanna go out with you and daddy." he whined looking up at her as she washed his golden blond hair.
"Maybe next time buddy, OK? Tonight it's just gonna be me and mommy." Roger smiled looking down at him.
"I guess so. Can I watch Lion King with Unka Collins and Unka Will?" he asked looking up at him.
"Yeah buddy, I think that can be arranged." Roger smiled looking down at him.
"Mommy." Gail cried calling out from her room.
"I'll get her Baby. Be a good boy and let mommy finish giving you a bath, OK?" Roger smiled before leaving the bathroom to go to Gail's room. "What's the matter princess?" Roger asked standing in the doorway.
"I can't find my dolly." she cried looking up at him.
"Which one sweetie?" he asked looking down at her.
"Susie May, my favorite one." she told him looking around her room.
"It's OK sweetie. Daddy'll help you find her. Where did you have her last?" he asked kneeling down to her.
"I gave her dinner and then mommy said me and her needed to take a bath and now I can't find her." she said looking up at him.
"OK, we'll find her sweetie. I'm gonna check downstairs, OK? You keep looking in here." he said getting up off of the floor.
"Daddy, we need to find her. She gets scared when I'm not there." she said looking up at him very seriously.
"Listen to me Gail, OK? Daddy will not let anything happen to you or Susie May, OK? I promise." he smiled leaning down to look into her bright blue eyes before kissing her golden blond hair.
"Thank you daddy." she smiled looking up at him as he left her room to rush down the stairs.
"Roger, is everything OK?" Ava asked coming out of the bathroom holding Lukas in her arms.
"Yeah, lost dolly. I'm on it." he laughed looking up at her before going down the stairs. Ava couldn't help but laugh too. 3 years ago, she couldn't imagine Roger looking for a baby doll. He was such a good father. He told the kids stories every night and sung them songs. He loved being a father.
"Knock, knock." Will called out as he entered the Davis house.
"Hey guys. Make yourselves useful, help me find Susie May." Roger said looking under the couch.
"Dolly crisis?" Collins laughed looking down at him.
"Yeah, she's freaking out. We have to find that doll." Roger said getting up to go into the kitchen.
"Roger, shouldn't you be getting ready to go out?" Will asked looking down at him.
"Yeah, but Gail needs her doll." he said looking inside all of the cabinets she could reach.
"We'll find it. You go get ready." Collins smiled looking over at him.
"Thanks guys." he smiled looking over at them before going upstairs. "I didn't find her downstairs, but Uncle Collins and Uncle Will are still looking OK princess?" he asked looking down at her.
"I found her daddy. She was under my towel." she smiled looking up at him.
"OK sweetie." he smiled looking down at her.
"Daddy, how come me and Lukas can't go with you and mommy?" she asked as he sat on her bed.
"Because me and mommy always take you and Lukas with us. Tonight we're going out, just us grown ups. Uncle Collins and Uncle Will are gonna be here with you and Lukas." he smiled looking down at her.
"Who are you going out with?" she asked as he picked her up onto his lap.
"Uncle Mark and his new girlfriend." he smiled playing with her long golden blond hair.
"Is she nice?" she asked looking up at him.
"I don't know princess, I haven't met her yet. But I bet she is since Uncle Mark likes her." he smiled looking down at her.
"Daddy, can she come to my tea party tomorrow?" she asked looking up at him.
"We'll see. Daddy has to go get ready to go out, OK? Uncle Collins and Uncle Will are downstairs looking for your dolly, so you might want to tell them you found her, OK?" he smiled kissing her head before letting her down.
"OK daddy. I love you." she smiled looking up at him.
"I love you too Gail." he smiled leaning down to hug her.
"I know daddy." she smiled before going down the stairs to Will and Collins.
"Crisis over?" Ava asked standing in their bedroom as Roger entered.
"Yeah, she was hidden under her towel in her room." he smiled looking over at her.
"My poor girl. She's just like her daddy." she smiled looking over at him.
"Oh yeah, but I thought you loved her daddy." he smiled wrapping his arms around her.
"I do love her daddy. But you wouldn't be able to find your head if wasn't firmly planted on your neck." she laughed as he leaned down to nuzzle her neck. "Roger, we have to get ready to go out with Mark and his new girlfriend." she squealed as he held her tight.
"I know. I just want to be close to my wife." he smiled kissing up her neck finally reaching her lips.
"I know. It's rare we get to be close like this without one of our 2 year olds yelling or running in here." she laughed looking up at him.
"I love our 2 year olds." he smiled looking down at her.
"Me too Baby." she smiled leaning up to kiss him.
"Hi Mark. Sorry we're late. You know what it's like trying to get ready with two 2 year olds, and Roger." Ava laughed looking over at him as they entered the restaurant.
"It's OK. We were just looking at the menu." Mark smiled looking up at them. "Ava, Roger this is my girlfriend Tara. Tara, Ava, Roger." he smiled looking really nervous.
"Hi Tara, it's so nice to meet you finally. Mark has told us so much about you." she smiled looking over at her.
"Mark's told me so much about you too. You used to be Avalon, right? I was a really big fan of your music. But Mark tells me you gave it all up for your twins. That's really great." she smiled looking over at them as Roger took Ava's hand.
"Yeah, my family was more important to me than performing." Ava smiled looking up at Roger.
"We have a great family." Roger smiled looking down at her as Mark and Tara smiled over at them.
