Boys night would certainly have to be revised for now. At least until the little darlings grew up a bit but he did have thoughts on the issue as his little princess looked round settling her gaze on Graysen. “We can’t do beer and darts anymore so we need another activity. Perhaps we could use the baseball cages and you can show me the finer points of the game?” A valid suggestion and an idea which could develop. He had played cricket as a boy so facing a fast hard ball might not be so daunting. Then he added “I suppose we should introduce them to each other. They’ll probably be doing little league together”. Both Peyton and himself figured their little girl was smart already. She’d might even be good at sports too. Graysen Maddox

He nodded in understanding. "I do like the thoughts of them being friends, I want her to have a good amount of friends." They were needed even if you necessarily had a fear one day they would need friends to get along in the world. "That would be so cool honestly we can be sports dads." David Lightfeather

"Yeah by bye darts. Hello Baseball" David replied. Sports dads it would be and it still gave plenty of time for guy time. So placing Ella beside Graysen he softly said "Ella this is my friend Graysen. He's got a little baby too". Ella quietly looked up at the man not understanding her papa's words but still looking curious. Now Graysen had to do the same. Graysen Maddox

There was always going to be something about "bro-ing" out that was epic even if he did not know what. He did like David and always had because they had a friendship that seemed so different and they still were now able to hang out even with babies. "You know when we first went drinking I never imagined that our life would lead us here, crazy but lovely if that makes sense." He nodded. "I do and I am always scared," he said honestly. "Working through it however." David Lightfeather

"I never imagined this either. Beer and darts were good and simple but we could do fishing as well. Take a boat out and see what we can find" David replied as Ella kept looking round her. "Little ones do change your world. That's scary in its own right but we have to be brave so they can be curious" he softly said as Ella moved round a little to see what was here. Firstly off the towel to feel the sand and then a little cry to show she wanted something. David cradled her again and that seemed to do the trick. "She just wants her daddy" he added. Graysen Maddox

"You are going to have her so spoiled and I do not blame you. They will grow up so fast." He would never thought that they would have girls but maybe girls were the thing they needed. "How is Peyton holding up?" he asked. "She seemed so nice and you do not get that often." David Lightfeather

When asked about Peyton he could see how his beloved was getting on. She was getting more rested and ready to go back to work but worrying about missing Ella. They both knew they’d need daycare but David was going to alter his work routine so this little girl would get plenty of time with her parents. By now Ella was pointing at Diana and making noises. So not sure what she wanted now he put her back down on the towel. “Ella will be spoiled. Hopefully not too much but Peyton is feeling better now. Just worried about missing her daughter but once she’s back at work I’m sure she’ll be fine. We’ll get out more often after this even if Ella has to go with us” David replied. They hadn’t many dates outside. Most dates were in their apartment. Graysen Maddox

"I think it is only natural to miss them when we return to work. I mean you spend so much time with them that you are scared to death once it actually comes but after one is able to come to work and go home, opening that door and seeing your baby makes it all that much more worth it."

"I know what you mean. Even coming back from going out walking the dog and she's waiting for you. I'm going to move my working hours slightly and so can Peyton. Then Ella won't have to spend so long in daycare" he replied. Sparky and Ella were like playmates now. Then she was moving again closer to Diana. Not on her feet but moving on her bottom as curiously took over. Also closer to Graysen. Graysen Maddox

"I have not even given any real thought to daycare but man," it took a second and then he spoke. "If either of you ever need help with her you can feel free to leave her with me or my brothers once peyton and you feel comfortable enough that is." David Lightfeather

Ella found herself beside Graysen now but well within reaching distance so she couldn't wander off. Then she experientially poked him as David replied "thank you for the offer of assistance. She'll get more time with Peyton as I go back to work first but that means she can get used to the idea of being round others. Perhaps we could expand the father-daughter times to include your brothers. So they know what they might have to deal with in the future". Ella made noises and kept poking as she was curious about Graysen and Diana. She was a quick learner already used to a dog by now. Graysen Maddox

"Yeah that does sound like a good idea. I think they like kids okay and who knows what the future holds." He did like the idea of nieces and nephews but he was not rushing his brothers into anything as he looked at Ella. "She's so curious, you and Peyton must have passed down that curious about the world and science gene to her." David Lightfeather

David noted his idea had been taken onboard. Then came an observation. "That she is Graysen. She might have gotten that from the both of us" he replied as Ella worked her way between Graysen and Diana. She wasn't crawling yet but finding a way to get around and even trying to have a conversation with the other baby. At least that was what it sounded as the curious baby got to know who and what was round her. She kept making baby noises while doing all of this. "I think she's trying to have a conversation" he observed quietly. Graysen Maddox

He took some time to think as he adjusted his daughter. "So here are my thoughts," he said as he figured he had gathered most of them in his head for how he wanted them to be. "What if we do one of those dad trips. I could arrange for the children to be looked after and we take a short day trip somewhere. We need to be able to get out and breathe in the day as well no matter how adorable our children are." He did eye the children. "I think she likes me, I mean I am almost good with children which comes in handy more than it does not." David Lightfeather

"We could do that as well" David replied as he looked at Graysen. They still needed guy time as Ella kept talking away to Diana. Then Graysen made another observation. "I think she does and now she is settled I'll get our sodas and ice" he added with a smile. There was a mini bar on this part of the beach so as well as the tall soft drinks he got bags of nacho chips as well. He'd be gone a few minutes so that left Graysen looking after two little ladies on this really nice day. At least Ella was keeping her hat on as the two babies got used to each other. Graysen Maddox
