"Take your time," he said. Graysen had honestly feared being a father but since he seemed to slowly been getting the hang of it and not to mention his family was big itself so the entire idea of him having more kids was not out of left field. Looking down at the two girls he was not sure if he could or would handle two daughters well if that time ever came but still it was a nice thought. David Lightfeather

It looked like two baby girls would get on well as Graysen watched over them. Meanwhile David waited in line for the non alcoholic cocktails loaded with sliced fruit and some ice. He also got fruit juice for the babies that could be drunk with papas help and returned a while later. He returned to find this trio looking quite contented and he handed Graysen his drink first and taking Ella in his arms gave her the juice. He the voiced a thought and said “I think she might be my only child. I don’t think Peyton wants to go through pregnancy again”. Graysen Maddox

He looked up and then he spoke. "Nothing wrong with that," he could not say for sure but maybe David wanted more kids. "Okay so does that mean you are open to more kids eventually or did you just want one kid or no kids. I always seen myself as a no kid type and yet here we are killing it." David Lightfeather

David wasn’t too sure about giving Ella a sibling. It might be better if she grew up a bit first and he’d have to persuade Peyton first. So he could say “I didn’t expect to even be a father but I am. Perhaps I could be again if Peyton wants to go through it”. Ella stopped drinking and then looked round again. “How about you Graysen? Will it just be Ella and Diana doing things together as they grow up?” Graysen Maddox

"I have no idea my family is big and Deci's family is big but if nothing else maybe I can get some nieces and nephew out of this deal before it goes south or in case she does not want to do it again. I only joke about having a baseball team of babies, not trying to make it a reality." David Lightfeather

David smiled before checking on Ella. Then she started to drink from her cup again as the day was quite warm for her. "I think a baseball team of nieces and nephews is more likely though you might well contribute the team pitchers. That's down to Decipher and if she wants to go through that again. In the meantime between the two of us we have the start of a softball team" he softly replied as Diana copied Ella and poked her daddy. "Diana's learning already. Who really knows what they'll learn when they get older" David posed. Graysen Maddox

He was amazed at how perfectly capable children seemed to be able to learn and that was also something he found to be good at the same time. "I do find that children seem to want to learn and are more open to soaking everything in more than adults seem to be at times. I am hoping that they can be great friends." David Lightfeather

David was still finding out what a child could do since he didn't have any siblings and didn't get seeing his own nieces and nephews that often. At least now he could zoom call some of his Irish based relatives and see what was going on. The toddlers he'd left behind coming here were sprouting up fast. "They also figure things out quickly" he replied as Ella finished her drink and he set her down in a sitting position again. She could rest against him and pointed as she seen things. "Just wait till you get them to kindergarten. Though you can teach them things before that stage. Ella likes listening more than watching YouTube videos. So I play songs for her and audiobooks" he added. Graysen Maddox

"I do plan to teach her early well if she will take to it. I think that she will and I hope that it can be good for both of us and sports naturally but I do think we should see what they will both do as they can. I also think both of our parenting styles can benefit both of our children as we hang out." David Lightfeather

"If we start them at the same time it would be better" David replied. Once she was walking David was sure Ella would be unstoppable and completely into everything. She was always in motion already. So she moved again and joined Diana like she had before. "The more we hangout the more they'll learn as well. That is a fact" he added; then the babies conversation started again. Graysen Maddox

It was always hard to know what your child would become but he was happy to have them little now and he knew that he would never change that for anything. "So father hood aside how is your work going? That research place is always doing something, you still making good contributions to it I imagine?" David Lightfeather

What really could you say about ARI? A place where something was always going on and you couldn't usually talk about it in specifics. Looking at Graysen he replied "there's always something going on in ARI. Most recently a dinosaur project came up. Mainly involving careful digging and wondering how far down I'll have to go. Then they'll be added to what we know about the paleontology path. That work never stands still". He could talk about this as he then turned his attention back to his daughter. He'd have to introduce her to the sea today at some point. Graysen Maddox

He took a minute to straighten his daughter up as he spoke to David. "Greatest thing one can ever do I think is to know that when you were faced with something that you did not think that you could do you went above and beyond it and knocked it out of the park, accomplishing greater things than you ever seen or imagined to be so possible. That is what I find fatherhood is and so I hope that you do too, though we are going out for beers soon no matter what." David Lightfeather

Looking at his daughter who was snuggling onto her papa and then Graysen he knew what his friend meant. They also needed to get out for beers and pool again as much fun as fatherhood was. "I agree with you. And we need to get beers at some point. A couples night would be a good idea as well but so is a guys night" he posed. Graysen Maddox

"Aside from the baseball game which was like a group outing I do not know if I have done a couples night. Decipher is pretty but a lot," he said. It was fine maybe he could get her to be calm for one night and make some friends. "I am going to think of something amazing for us to do so we can get out though with the women since that is important as well." David Lightfeather
