“Because your father wants the house.”
“He’s not my father.A father doesn’t leave his kids,” Danny growls.
“Ok, what do you want me to call him?”I drop down to my knees and take Danny’s hands in mine.This is the first time he’s responded like this.
“Rob.That’s his name.”
“Ok.We’ll call him Rob.”I nod my head once, hoping this will help him get over this a little bit more.
He’s been doing so well between Pecker and Maverick.He’s turning back into the sweet boy I raised.
“Where are we going to live?”Bree’s bottom lip trembles.
“You’re moving in with me, princess.”Maverick scoops her up into his arms and hugs her tightly.The two of them are adorable together.He makes me want to have more kids.
“Really?I get to live with you, Mommy, and Danny?”Bree puts a hand on both of Maverick’s cheeks and pushes until his lips pucker like a fish.
“Yeah, do you think you can handle the ballerina room?Or should we redecorate?”
“No!I love that room.Thank you, Maverick!”She wraps her arms around his neck and squeezes as tight as she can.
“Does that mean I get your old room?”Danny blinks up at him.
“Unless you don’t want it.”Maverick shrugs like it isn't a big deal.
“No!I want it so bad!It’s the coolest room ever!Thanks, Maverick!”He throws himself into Mav’s body and Maverick catches him easily.
“You’re welcome.I'm more than happy to have you living with me.Our home will be awesome.”
“Can I keep some of your old stuff?”Danny peeks up at Maverick.
“You can keep all my old stuff, slugger.”
“Wait… But where will Pecker live?”Bree’s little brows tug together as she stares at me.
“Well, he’s been living with Sophia, but they’re moving to Mulberry Lane soon.”
“Oh… Ok,” she whispers.
“You know I'm not going to forget about you,” Peck says as he struts into the room with a big smile on his face and an arm around Sophia’s waist.
“Pecky!”She squeals, wiggling out of Maverick’s arms and racing over to my brother.
“I'm going to call you all the time and we can video chat.And maybe in the summer, Mommy will let you come stay with us for a little bit.”
“Really?Can I stay at Uncle Wyatt’s house too?”
“I guess, but I'm much cooler,” Peck scoffs.
“Will Cody and Jax be at your house?”She blinks innocently at him.
“They’re more likely to be at our house than Wyatt’s.”Sophia winks.
It’s become an ongoing competition between Peck and Wyatt as to who’s the cooler uncle.Sophia and Charlie have been competing as well, but it’s not as obvious.Cody and Jax are definitely Bree’s favorites though.
“Why?”Danny frowns at Sophia.“Both of you are their sisters.”
“Because I'm more fun, duh.”Pecker rolls his eyes.
