A/n: Poorly edited *sigh*
Please forgive me XD
"Okay, pigtails for you." Minho says, as he finishes up doing the youngest of the two girls hair. "With pink bows." he says as he ties on the last ribbon. "And you." he says, turning back to the eldest (of four years), "like the fishtail braid." he says.
"With purple bows." the eldest replies, nodding her head in approval.
Minho carefully begins to braid the girl's hair, making sure to intertwine the purple ribbon throughout the twists and turns of her long chestnut colored hair.
"Ooh, you're good at this." the one in pink comments, as she watches.
Minho smirks. "Better than your dad, right?"
"Ow! You braid a lot tighter than Dad does." Maci complains.
"Well how else is it suppose to stay in place?" Minho asked.
"It doesn't need to be perfect Daddy." Maci argues.
"Of course it does." Minho argues back. "It's hair!"
Kaci giggles. "You should dye your hair pink!" she says as she tries to clip a pink bow into Minho's hair.
"Haha, in your dreams Princess." he says as he carefully ends the fish braid with yet another purple ribbon. "All done." Minho says, clapping his hands.
Maci studies herself in the mirror for a moment, judging his work. "It does look better than when Dad does it."
"Hey!" Thomas calls out from the doorway of Maci's room. "What's wrong with the way my braids look?"
"They're lopsided." Maci and Minho comment at the same time.
"Thought it looked cute." Thomas mumbled.
"There is a difference between cute and tacky, Dad." Maci says, with a look of disgust on her face.
"And you wonder where all that sass came from." Thomas said, turning to walk back downstairs.
Minho laughs. "That's not my fault."
Maci turns her head to look up at her father. "Well, where do you think I get it from?"
"Oh shush you." he says playfully as he begins to tickle the babbling nine year old.
"They're gonna be late Min!" Thomas calls out to them
"Alright guys, time to go." Minho says as he ushers the two girls out their bedroom, and down the stairs.
Maci and Kaci were adopted by Thomas and Minho a couple years ago. At the time, Maci was six years old and Kaci was only two. The couple had intended on only adopting one child, but when they met Maci, they instantly fell in love. There was no way they were going to separate her from her sister, but there was never really any doubt because they love her just as much.
But now Maci is nine, almost ten years old, and acts just like her Daddy, Minho. But she's very outgoing and can be protective of her little sister, even if she doesn't always act like it. Kaci is five, almost six, and tends to be the quiet one, but when she comes out of her shell, everything is bright and bubbly. Her smile lightens up a room, and she knows how to make everyone laugh.
"Do we have to go to school?" Kaci pleaded.
"We'd rather stay here all day with you guys." Maci said, nodding her head in approval. She does that a lot.
"Nope!" Minho replied, cheerfully. "Besides, school if fun!"
"Is not." Maci replied.
"Is too."
"Is not."
"Is too."
"Seriously Minho?" Thomas asked with an amused look on his face as he helped usher the kids into their car.
"What?" Minho asked innocently, pointing a finger at Maci. "She started it."
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Minho." Thomas warned.
"Fine." he said. Maci stuck her tongue out.
"Alright you two, play nice." Thomas said, as he double checked to make sure everyone was secure before jumping in the front seat.
Minho and Thomas always missed the girls while they were away at school. Thomas is a professor at the local college, so he's not too far away from them, in case of some type of emergency. Plus, it's easier for him to pick them up and drop them off that way.
Work gives Thomas something to do throughout his day, but Minho, on the other hand, works at home. Although, he does enjoy the peace and quiet some days, other times it makes him feel lonely. He enjoys the days when they're all together at home as a family.
"Bye girls!" the couple waving to their two kids as they enter the school together.
"Later Dads!" Maci yells behind her as she runs over to her group of friends.
"Bye Dad! Bye Daddy!" Kaci says, waving goodbye before entering inside the school herself with her bundle of friends.
"Well, what now?" Minho asks, sounding sad.
Thomas smiled. "You get to take me to work."
"Daddy!" Maci called out.
"We're home!" Kaci yelled.
"And we bringeth forth pizza!" Maci announced, with a head nod of approval as they entered into the kitchen. Thomas began helping the kids make plates for everyone.
"Pizza soundeth good." Minho said, appearing into the room, with a nod of approval of his own.
Maci smiled. "Then pizza you shall have!" she announced, holding up a plate with two slices of pizza.
Minho laughed. "Why thank you."
"You…...be...eth? Welcome!" she concluded.
The others laughed. "Why are you guys talking funny?" Kaci asked, clearly amused.
"Because they're silly." Thomas teased.
"You dareth question me?" Minho mimicked.
"A duel you shall!" Maci announced with a head nod, as she stood up on her chair stool. "To the death!" she declared dramatically, raising a pointed "sword" into the air, or better known as a plastic knife.
Minho laughed. Thomas began to panic.
"Marcella! Get down from that chair before you fall off and hurt yourself!" Thomas sternly stated.
Maci looked as if she wanted to argue, but one look at her dad told her that there was no room for arguing. He meant business.
"Yes, Dad." she says as she climbs down off of her "tower".
"Thank you, Maci" he says. "I just want you to play safe, okay?"
"Okay, Dad." she says with a smile. "I'll be careful." she says through a mouthful of pizza.
"Gross!" Kaci giggles. "Chew with your mouth closed!"
Maci sticks her tongue out at her sister, but nonetheless obeys her request. "As you wish, your majesty." she says sarcastically, by Kaci doesn't understand, so she just laughs as she continues to eat her pizza just like a true princess would.
After the family finished their food, they decided to put on some cartoons, while playing some board games together. Although Maci is the one who suggested they do this, it was Kaci who ended up winning most of the games, (although minho will never admit to just plan sucking at them). But once they grew tired of playing games, the family decided to cuddle up together on the couch, wrapped up in a huge blanket. Thomas and Minho took the two ends of the couch while the two girls sat in the middle of them. Since Kaci got to pick the games, Maci got to pick the movie. Minho was silently grateful for the fact that he knew Maci wouldn't pick anything girly or princess related. Much to his and Thomas' surprise, Kaci didn't argue about the choice of movie, or how it did indeed lack a princess, or a fairytale storyline.
In the end, everyone was happy and content. Minho really did enjoy moments like this.
