A/n: I'm back! It's been so long, lol XD
So, just so you guys know, I'm not going to kill anybody :) that would make me extremely sad and I would never do such a thing. You guys seemed really worried, so hopefully that puts you at ease.
And speaking of, thank you so much for all the reviews! I appreciate them a lot. They make me happy and keep me writing :D
"Please, please please?!" Kaci begged her father.
"Kaci, we've been over this." Minho tried to reason.
"But Daaaaddyy!" Kaci continued to whine.
"Kassandra…." Minho warned. He and Thomas only used the girl's full name when they were being serious.
She began to pout. "Okay, Daddy…"
Minho sighed, clearly tired from having this argument with a five year old. "I will talk to your father about it, okay?"
Kaci started to bounce up and down excitedly.
"That doesn't mean yes." he clarified.
"But it's a maybe!" Kaci said, continuing to jump up and down. "And Maci says that a maybe almost definitely turns into a yes!"
"That's because you have Thomas as a father." Minho mumbled.
Kaci giggled. "Maci says she's always right because she's older."
Minho rolled his eyes at that one. "Can't believe everything she says."
But she just shrugs. "She hasn't been wrong yet."
"Yet…."
"She's asking for a dog again." Minho said, exasperated.
"Again?!" Thomas sighed. "She asked me just this morning for one."
"She asked as soon as she got home from school….and then every other five minutes after that."
"Can't we just get her a stuffed animal?" Thomas pleaded.
"She has a whole army of those things." Minho replied with a cringe.
"What about one of those weird robot looking things?" Thomas tried.
Minho shook his head. "She wants the real thing."
Thomas sat down on their bed, clearly unknowing of what to do. "Can't we get her some type of consolation prize?"
Minho shook his head. "It's either that or a pony."
Thomas laughed. "I see she stopped asking for a unicorn."
Minho sighed. "I'm tempted about giving in."
"You really think we can take care of two small kids and a dog?" Thomas asked.
Minho shrugged. "That's why I have you, right? We're a team Tommy, we'll figure it out."
Thomas smiled lovingly at his husband "Don't call me that."
"One can only try." Minho said with his signature smirk.
"So, are we getting a dog then?" Thomas asked with an excited smile.
Minho shook his head laughing. "I should have known you were in on this!"
Thomas laughed, raising his hands in defeat. "Hey, blame Maci!"
Minho groaned in frustration. "That girl is nothing but trouble."
"It's today, it's today, it's today!" Kaci chanted excitedly
"And what is today?" Minho asked, playfully.
"It's my birthday, it's my birthday!" Kaci cheered.
Maci frowned. "What am I? Chopped liver?"
Kaci giggles. "Sorry. It's our birthday, it's our birthday!"
Kaci and Maci were kind of special. Although four years apart, they share the same birthday. And on top of that, today is the day that the girls were adopted. Coincidental, yes, but totally unplanned.
"Not just that silly." Maci said, ruffling up her younger sister's dirty blonde hair. "You probably don't remember, but four years ago we were adopted today."
"Thats right." Thomas said, entering into Kaci's room. "Four years ago you guys joined this family, and made me and Daddy very happy."
Kaci smiled. "Aww, you looooove us"
Maci laughed. "That's why they adopted us, silly."
"So does that mean we get twice the presents?" Kaci asked.
"Duh!" Minho replied.
"Come downstairs! We have a surprise for you." Thomas answered.
"Okay!" the girls said as they both hopped off of Kaci's pink princess bed and raced downstairs. Thomas and Minho shared a glance before laughing and following the two downstairs. When they reached the bottom, the two girls sat next to each other on the couch.
"You guys ready?" Minho asked.
"Yes!"
"Okay, your present is actually in the basement." Thomas explains.
"What's in the basement?" Kaci asked excitedly. "Is it a dungeon?"
"What's with you and dungeons?!" Minho asked, slightly concerned.
"Where else am I supposed to keep my pet dragon?" she asked innocently.
"Pet dragon….?" Minho trailed off.
Thomas leaned over and whispered. "It's invisible…..kind of like the dungeon."
"Um….you know what? Let's just go downstairs and see what it is." Minho concluded, as he walked away scratching his head in complete confusion.
So, the two girls followed behind their dads, as they made their way downstairs.
"Hey, where did everything go?" Maci asked.
Minho usually works down here, but his whole office was gone. But, the room had been redone. There was a new carpet on the floor, soft and plushy unlike the last one. And the walls were painted a bright mint green color. There was a basket of toys in one corner, a small bed in another corner. There was a playmat in the center of the room. There were toy balls, stuffed animals, food and water bowls, and other various objects.
"Is it a pet dragon?!" Kaci asked, jumping up and down.
"No…." Minho said, trailing off with a smile.
"But it is a pet." Thomas said. He walked over to the other door in the room, which led into the laundry room. When Thomas opened up the door, out came a small, red and white fluffy spaniel.
"Doggie!" the girls squealed as they ran towards the dog.
"It's adorable!" Maci said.
"What is it?" Kaci asked.
Thomas laughed, thinking of it's name. "It's a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel."
"Ooh, a king." Kaci giggled. "Is it a boy or a girl?"
"It's a girl." Minho said. "We thought we would let you two name her."
Kaci and Maci both shared a knowing look between the two of them. "Staci." they both said.
Thomas and Minho both shared a laugh. "We figured you would say that." Thomas said.
"We kind of overheard your conversations on the topic." Minho said.
"So we already gave her a collar." Thomas concluded. And they were right. Staci wore a pink glittery collar with the her name printed on the dog tag.
"And I know it's not a dragon…." Minho trailed off, as he walked over to a chest that was hidden in another corner of the room. "But you two can dress her up if you want." he said, placing the chest in front of the two girls. They opened it up to find an array of clothing, from different animals, to frilly tutu's and tiaras, and yes, there was a dragon costume in there.
"Best birthday ever!" the two girls squealed, hugging their father's tight. "Thank you!"
The two dads laughed, returning the hugs. "Anything for you guys." they said.
