"stop it. stop being sorry. your not weak. okay? I know your strong. if you do something wrong by mistake, it's alright, thats why it's called an accident love. I'll love you no matter what. see this ring? if I didn't love you, I wouldn't have this ring and we wouldn't have two beautiful kids. I love you more then you know Foxy and one way or another, I'll help you get over all the torture you've suffered." Mike cooed to him softly. Foxy's ears perked up slightly.
"okay love." Foxy said, nuzzling closer. Mike started coughing and Foxy quickly helpped him sit up. "easy Mikey." Foxy said softly. he got Mike some water and Mike managed to stop coughing.
"I-I'm okay Foxy." Mike replied.
*with the twins*
Coda watched his mom fight with his cousins.
"Dylan. shhh buddy. shhh. it's okay." Vada soothed.
"wan mama!" Dylan cried. he didn't feel very good, he was tired, and all he wanted was his mother to cuddle him. he didn't understand. his mommy was always there when he didn't feel good. he'd always cuddle him and nuzzle him until he felt better, where was his mother now?
"why is he crying? is he broke?" Coda ask. Vada shook her head.
"no Coda. he's sick. probably has what uncle Mike has and probably just wants to go home." Vada replied. she picked up the phone and called Mike and Foxy.
"Vada? whats wrong?" Foxy ask.
"it's Dylan. he wont stop crying. let me talk to Mike." Vada said. Foxy nodded and passed the phone to Mike.
"Vada?" Mike ask.
"Dylans sick. he won't stop crying and he keeps crying for you." Vada said. Mike smiled slightly.
"put him on. I'll see if I can calm him down." Mike said. Vada put Dylan on. "Dylan? calm down buddy it's okay." Mike said softly. Dylan sniffled and looked at the phone.
"mama?" Dylan ask. Mike smiled.
"yeah buddy it's mommy." Mike said. "I know you don't feel good right now and I now you just want me and your dad, but I'm pretty sick buddy. I need you to stay with aunt Vada for a bit until I get better. okay?" Mike ask. Dylan whimpered.
"mama. dada." Dylan whimepred. Mike put it on speaker phone and looked at Foxy. Foxy smiled.
"hi Dylan. I'll be by in a few days to bring ye up to see yer mommy, okay? just be good until daddy can come an get ye." Foxy added. Dylan whimpered,
"it'll all be alright baby boy. aunt Vada will take care of you okay?" Mike ask. Dylans ears drooped and he sniffled.
"'tay." Dylan sniffled. Mike smiled.
"thats my big boy. good night baby." Mike said.
"behave buddy." Foxy said. Dylan curled up away from the phone and Vada put it back to her ear.
"thanks guys." Vada said.
"no thank you for taking them for us." Mike said.
"careful. Dylans stomach has been upset today and Vixy's got diaper rash." Foxy warned.
"thanks for the tip Foxy. bye." Vada smiled and hung up. she nuzzled her nephew and he looked up at her tearfully. Vixy stayed curled up the play pen with her stuffed animals. Vada looked at her. "hi sweety, do you want out?" Vada ask. Vixy cuddled into her stuffed toys and yawned. Vada smiled at her. "okay. sweet dreams." Vada smiled. Dylan curled up slightly and started whimpering. Vada rocked him gently and he threw up. Vada chuckled. "feel better buddy?" Vada ask. Dylan started to cry again when Vada sat him down.
"he's crying again mommy." Coda pouted.
"I know baby but I need to clean up his puke." Vada replied. she set to work cleaning up the mess and realized, she didn't hear Dylan crying anymore. she quickly checked on him and sighed in relief, finding him cuddled to his sister and both out cold. "how did you get out of the playpen?" Vada muttered softly. she shrugged and tucked them in on the couch.
*next morning*
Vada got up and all three kids were into the ice cream in her freezer.
"no!" Vada exclaimed.
"it wasn't me mommy! I was trying to clean up and fell!" Coda whimpered. he knew not to get into the freezers and stuff, so Vada believed him. she called Mike. "do you spank your children?" Vada ask.
"no." Mike replied. "Foxy doesn't understand there's a difference between discipline and abuse. he freaks out when I do it and I don't want him to hurt himself going into an attack." Mike said. Vada sighed.
"ditch that looser and get with someone who understands discipline." Vada said.
"we're working on it okay Vada? he's just like them. he's got to learn." Mike replied. "just pop their hands okay?" Mike ask. Vada muttered a yes before handing up. Foxy walked back into the room, having been in the bathroom.
"who was that?" Foxy ask.
"Vada. calling about a question with the kids." Mike replied. Foxy nodded.
"okay." Foxy said. he walked over. "how ye feelin' today Mikey?" Foxy ask.
"better then yesterday thats for sure." Mike replied.
"good." Foxy smiled. Mike smiled back then looked down at his ring and chuckled.
"guess we should look for engagement rings huh?" Mike ask. Foxy shrugged.
"I jus' knew to buy that one. I figured ye'd know the rest." Foxy admited. Mike smiled.
"well well just get you a ring like this then okay? saves a lot of time and money." Mike ask. Foxy nodded.
"so how exactly is marriage different from datin'?" Foxy ask.
"in our case, not much. but once we're married, we share everything we own, we can get a life insurance policy for us and the kids." Mike said. he went on listing a few other things. Foxy nodded slightly.
"I see no point in it, but it seems to matter a lot to people and if it matters to y, I'll do it." Foxy said. Mike smiled at him. he knew Foxy didn't mean it exactly the way he said it. Mike cuddled to Foxys chest sighing contently. Foxy smiled and nuzzled his head. "ye seem distracted. whats wrong?" Foxy ask.
"I think it's time we discussed the difference between abuse and discipline. I know you don't really understand, but I'm going to try to help you okay?" Mike ask. Foxy nodded.
*the twins*
"Vixy! Vixy!" Vada called out. she couldn't find her niece. she was sneaky and quiet like her father and managed to sneak away while Vada was trying to help Coda get his shirt on. "Vixy! there you are!" Vada exclaimed, relieved, when she found the child staring out the door. "honey what are you looking at?" Vada ask. she looked out and saw nothing. she scooped Vixy up and they child screamed. "whats wrong?" Vada ask. Vixy continued to scream until Vada put her down and she ran back over to the door. she stared out the window and whimpered. Vada sighed and called Mike again.
"yes Vada?" Mike ask.
"Vixy's staring out the door. I pick her up and she screams." Vada said. Mike chuckled.
"uh-oh. well your not going to fix her picking her up." Mike smiled.
"why not?" Vada ask.
"this is the time of day when daddy works. she wait all day infront of the door until Foxy gets home and picks her up. until Foxy picks her up, she won't let anyone else touch her." Mike explained.
"why?" Vada ask.
"because it just means she misses her dad. it's fine. I'll have Foxy come over later okay?" Mike ask.
"alright. thanks Mike. anything else I need to know?" Vada ask. she didn't get to see the twins often, she moved two states away so she could keep her job.
"Dylan's teething, so watch out. he's got Foxys sharp teeth. he bit through a chair leg the other day." Mike said.
"ouhc. poor chair." Vada muttered. "oh hey, speaking of Dylan he wants to talk to you." Vada said. Mike smiled as his son came on the phone babbling and cooing.
"hey Dylan. are you being good for aunt Vada?" Mike ask. he cooed. "thats good." Mike smiled. he listened to his son go on and on about something Mike couldn't understand and Mike comment occasionally. "okay buddy, I have to go." Mike said. he heard Dylan whimper. "it's alright. I'll see you soon okay?" Mike ask softly.
"'tay." Dylan whined. Mike hung up. Foxy walked in and handed Mike his sandwich.
"who was that love?" Foxy ask.
"Vada. Vixy's missing you love." Mike replied. "sitting in front of the door waiting for her daddy." Mike added. Foxy smiled slightly.
"awe poor baby." Foxy said.
"why don't you go see them?" Mike ask. Foxy nodded.
"alright love. I'll be back in a bit. want me to bring them up?" Foxy ask. Mike nodded slightly.
"yeah. just be careful love." Mike said. Foxy nodded and kissed him deeply.
"I'll be back in a bit love." Foxy smiled. Mike nodded and watched him go.
*Vada's*
"Dylan shhhh it's okay." Vada said. there was a knock and the door opened. Vixy squealed and jumped up into her fathers arms.
"hi baby!" Foxy cooed. he craddled her and kissed her head. Dylan looked up.
"dada!" Dylan exclaimed running over. Foxy smiled at him and picked him up.
"hey babies. ye want to go see mommy?" Foxy ask.
"mama!" Dylan giggled. Foxy smiled and kissed his head.
"take them. take them now!" Vada cried. Foxy took them and left quickly.
*hospital*
"she jus' couldn' handle'em." Foxy said. he watched their kids cuddle to his fiancé and smiled. Mike smiled, cuddling his babies.
"thats okay. I missed my babies anyway." Mike shrugged. Foxy nodded and cuddled closer.
"me too." Foxy smiled.
"mama." Vixy cooed. Mike's heart froze.
"d-did she just..." Mike ask. Foxy smiled and nodded.
"she talks baby. not very loud and her voice cracks slightly, but she talks love." Foxy said. Mike kissed Vixy's head.
"good job baby." Mike said. he nuzzled her. "good job baby. I love you babies so much." Mike cooed to them. Foxy smiled at his family. "your one of my babies." Mike teased at Foxy. Foxy pouted and his ears layd back.
"I'm not a baby." Foxy huffed. Mike smiled.
"you may not realize it, but you know just about as much as they do about being a human love." Mike smiled. Foxy pouted at Mike and Mike rolled his eye's. "love, awe c'mon baby." Mike chuckled.
"no." Foxy muttered. Mike was confused. his voice sounded cold and distant.
"Foxy? love? whats wrong?" Mike ask.
"nothin'." Foxy growled. Mike looked at him.
"baby, whats wrong? I didn't mean it. I was just teasing you." Mike said softly. Mike kissed his cheek. "I didn't mean it like that love." Mike added. Foxy looked at him.
"I'm not a baby." Foxy huffed. Mike shook his head.
"no. your not. I'm sorry." Mike said. Foxy nuzzled their kids and purred softly. Mike smiled at him. "I love you Foxy. I know I don't tell you nearly enough. you put up with everything and sometimes, I just forget that I need to say it." Mike said. Foxy smiled at him.
"thats okay. I know ye love me. loike ye know I love ye." Foxy replied. Mike smiled and kissed him. Foxy purred and pulled him closer. they smiled when the kids pushed them apart and wiggled around. Mike smiled at them they layd cuddling for a bit until Bonnie raced in. he looked worried and wounded. Foxy jumped up and ran over to him. "Bonnie? what happened to ye?" Foxy ask.
"n-no time for that. yo-you two ar-are in danger!" Bonnie exclaimed, panting for breath.
"what?" Mike ask, holding tightly to his kids.
