Roxi. Stahp. Go update other stories. Stop writing this adorable fic and go write a smut. Staaaaph. Sigh. Well anyway. I want to point something out! Nearly every place they go in this story is real. Like Manayunk and Love Park. So if you want you can google a picture and see what the places look like. But yeah...

Antonio got up that morning, and slowly got out of bed. He had no idea what day, or time it was. He walked down to the kitchen for some coffee. He came into to the room pulling the coffee grinds from the cabinet, and starting up the coffee maker. He sleepily glanced at the calendar on the wall, smiling at the picture of a kitty. Sophia had really wanted a calendar with kitties on it. He quickly figured out that it was the 12. Oh hey. Happy birthday to him. He also remembered his boss gave him the day off for his birthday.

A moment later it hit him. Sophia's birthday was in two days. And he hadn't done a single thing about it yet.

"Fuck." He mumbled, and ran upstairs getting dressed. He flew into his daughter's room. She had just gotten up. "Baby! Daddy's going to the store! He'll be back in 15 minutes! Don't let anyone in the house, and I'll be calling like every five minutes so answer the phone!" He quickly kissed her forehead and ran out the door.

Sophia sat on her bedroom floor wondering what just happened. She shrugged it off, and wet to go get the cordless phone. She knew the drill. When daddy has to go out for a few minutes, he normally called a lot, and was home in less than a half hour. She grabbed the cordless phone and clipped it to her pants, and went into the kitchen, grabbed a gogurt, and a frying pan. Tangled proved it to be an effective weapon. She smiled to herself as she plopped onto the couch and turned on some cartoons.

Then it hit her. Today was daddy's birthday! She had to make him a cake like he makes her on her birthday! She was old enough to cook! But how does one bake a cake? She had the basic idea, flour, sugar, eggs and milk. She smirked at her own genius. She walked back in the kitchen and opened the cabinet and quickly found her candy stash. Candy was sugar! She grabbed the milk and eggs from the fridge and went outside and grabbed a few flowers. Now she needed a bowl. But the bowls were out of reach... She grabbed her step-ladder, but it was still too far away. Deep in her thoughts Sophia did not hear someone knocking at the door.

Lovino stood outside on Antonio's porch. Or at least he hoped it was Antonio's. He checked the address from his smart phone, and double checked the house number. It matched. He knocked again.

"Antonio! It's Lovino. We made plans for me to come over and celebrate your birthday?" Lovino said. No answer. Odd.

Lovino wondered for a moment if Antonio had changed his mind, about Lovino meeting his family. A month doesn't seem like a long enough time to be dating to be introduced to family. Were they dating? They went on one offical date, but the sexual attracted and flirting had been so obvious beforehand... Antonio must be testing the waters. Seeing how Lovino interacted with his family, more importantly his daughter, before making a commitment. Pretty smart. Now Lovino was nervous. What if Antonio's family didn't like him and then... Antonio would cast him into the... FRIEND ZONE. And why was no one answering the door? Lovino hesitated for a moment before testing the door. Unlocked? Should he...? He opened the door.

He walked in, looking around a bit. Based off the pictures on the wall he had the right place. He could clearly see Antonio in some of the pictures. A crash was heard from the kitchen and Lovino rushed to see what was wrong.

"Antonio?" He asked coming into the kitchen. But instead of Antonio a little girl, presumably Sophia, on a dining room chair reaching up for something in the cabinet. The crash was a cup she knocked over, which wasn't broken. Sophia turned around to see Lovino. She frowned, and got down. Then suddenly WHACK.

"STRANGER DANGER!" She yelled holding her frying pan up over her head. Lovino curled up in a ball on the floor, his head in his hands.

"Owwwwe!" He yelled, trying to sit up.

"STOP IT STRANGER. STAY DOWN." She yelled hitting him across the side of the head. Luckily she wasn't terribly strong so Lovino wasn't in too much pain.. It was mostly shock. How often does one really get hit in the head with a frying pan by a 6-year-old? Twice? This time Lovino stayed down, keeping his head protected.

"I'm a friend of your dad's!" He said "I came here because he invited me over for his birthday. He's turning 23!" Lovino said hoping if he replied the right information the little girl would stop beating him. Sophia thought for a moment but put her pan down.

"Fine... If you're here for his birthday than... You be the adult I need to use the oven."

"Oven? What do you need the oven for?" Lovino asked sitting up.

"To bake daddy a birthday cake!" She said pointing around. Lovino chuckled.

"I think you might need a little help..."

"I don't need help! I'm a big girl!" Sophia said crossing her arms. Lovino chuckled remembering that he was about the same when he was her age. In the end Sophia allowed Lovino to help her. And good thing too. Apparently flour in baking was not the same as flowers outside! Who knew? While starting to bake with Lovino she decided she liked Lovino. Not long after Lovino started helping did Antonio call. Lovino answered.

"Ciao idiota." He greeted.

"Lovino?"

"The one and only. Here Sophia put in the egg now." He said helping her crack it.

"Are you at my house? Is Sophia ok?"

"Yes and yes. Everything's fine. But if you're leaving your kid alone, which by the way isn't she a little young? Anyway, you might want to lock your door. But then again... She handled it pretty well."

"Yeah I know! But her birthday is in two days and I needed to get her a present. I'll be home in about 10 minutes. Which is longer than I wanted to be out but traffic decided to be horrible today. And what did she do?"

"She used a frying pan to beat the crapola out of me."

"Yeah... That's my baby." After a few minutes Lovino hung up and helped Sophia bake the cake, and put in the oven. It was still baking when Antonio got home.

"I'm home!" He called. Sophia and Lovino came out of the kitchen

"Happy birthday daddy! I baked you a cake! But it's still baking!" Sophia said happily.

"Really!? I can't wait to eat it!" Antonio said. "Alright well why don't you watch TV while me and Lovino go talk. Call us out if anyone else gets here, ok?"

"Ok. Oh and is Uncle awesome coming? And is he bringing Luddy?" Sophia asked.

"Yes. They're both coming." Antonio said with a smile, leading Lovino into the kitchen.

"Uncle Awesome? I didn't know you had a brother." Lovino said.

"I have two. But I haven't spoken to them in years. Gil is my best friend from high school. He was one of the few people who stuck by me during that whole, father-husband-widower-gay thing." Antonio said with a shrug. "And as for the awesome part, he taught her to call him Uncle Awesome when she was a baby."

"Ah..." Lovino said

"Mmm~ So did you get me anything for my birthday~?" Antonio teased.

"As a matter of fact I did. Two presents~ one for show that you can open, and one you can have later~" Lovino teased, running a finger up his chest, and whispered in his ear.

"Oh yay~ But we'll have to be quiet..." Lovino made a face. "As much as I want to fuck you until you scream, I can't Sophia will hear and come looking and things will get awkward..."

"I get it... But quiet is better than nothing." Lovino said giggling, and kissing Antonio's jaw.

"Mmm~ I agree~" Antonio said bringing him up for a kiss, and just when they're lips are about to meet...

"THE AWESOME HAS ARRIVED. THE PARTY MAY START NOW~"

"So close..." Antonio said pulling back.

AND YES. END. Now I'm going to go be Awesome.
