Summary: Caspar and Joe's teenage daughter goes on her first date, and Caspar and Joe are sad to watch her grow up.
WARNINGS: I talk about My Chemical Romance breaking up, you might want tissues.
A/N- They live in a house, and are married. She calls Caspar Papa, and she calls Joe Dad. And Josh is the name of the guy who I have a crush on. LETS PRAISE JOSH. My friends call us 'Sosh' (Sophie and Josh) may that be your new otp (I'm joking)

"Dad! Papa!" Emma called as she stepped through the door to her home, placing her school bag on the floor. "I'm home from school, did you all die or something? It's really quiet." She looked up to see Caspar running down the stairs, nearly slipping and falling because of his socks. "Papa, be careful. You could fall and break your l-"

He fell.

Emma let out a scream and she quickly rushed over to Caspar's side when he crashed to the floor, grabbing his wrist.

"He has a pulse, he's not dead...yet." Emma whispered to herself. "Dad! Papa's hurt, come quick." She called, and almost in a instant Joe burst in, his smile instantly turning into a frown, and rushing over to Caspar.

"Oh my god, what happened?" He questioned, kneeing down by Caspar.
"He fell, it's because of his stupid spongebob socks! Why does he have spongebob socks?" Emma complained, and Joe chuckled.

"I happen to like them." Caspar said, and they both let out a sigh of relief.
"Well, it's nice to know you'll be around a little longer. Just don't wear socks when your running down the stairs again, you almost gave me a heart attack." Joe confessed, helping Caspar stand up.

After Caspar's injuries had been cleaned up, (a bruised elbow), Caspar, Joe and Emma were sat down in front of the TV. They didn't notice the worried look on Emma's face.
"I, um, have something to tell you." Emma said, and Joe and Caspar both looked at her in confusion, and Caspar paused the TV.

"I'm going on a date with a boy named Josh." Emma whispered, bracing herself for her dads to freak out.

You see, Joe and Caspar were protective parents. A boy could just look at Emma, and Joe and Caspar would strangle them. Not literally though, really they would just glare at them until they get freaked out and walk away. So when Emma's long time crush, Josh, asked her out, she was so happy that she instantly said yes.

And then regretted it five seconds later.

It wasn't just her parents, Emma wasn't good with boys. She wasn't good at flirting, and had no idea when someone was flirting with her. She wasn't good at fashion, or make-up, and in her opinion she'd rather just turn up in sweatpants.

Joe and Caspar's faces remained blank, until suddenly Caspar's face broke out into a smile. Caspar jumped up, startling both Joe and Emma, and began dancing around the room.

"Emma has a boyfriend. She's going on a date!" Caspar sang joyfully, and Emma smiled at the good reaction she was getting. But her smile faltered when she looked at Joe's emotionless face. Out of nowhere, a tear ran down Joe's face. Caspar immadetly stopped dancing, and looked at Joe in confusion. Suddenly, Joe wrapped his arms around Emma.

"She's growing up Casp, before we know it she'll be married." Joe cried, and Caspar began dancing again. "She'll have a cake, and stuff. Oh my god Caspar, a wedding cake. A cake made for weddings. She's getting married." He cried again.
Her parents may be crazy, and a little emotional, but she wouldn't change them for the world.

A few days later:

Joe and Caspar waited patiently at the bottom of the stairs for Emma to come down, when suddenly the doorbell rang.
"Is he here already?" Caspar asked Joe, and Joe shrugged. "Emma's not even ready yet."

"It must be him. He's early." Joe said, as he let go of Caspar's hand that he was holding, and walked to the door. Joe opened the door to reveal quite a short boy, with blonde hair and big blue eyes. (A/N- Josh actually looks like this, it's adorable!)

"Hi, does Emma live here?" He asked with a smile, and Joe smirked.
"No." He said bluntly, and Josh's smile faded and his face twisted into a frown. Joe instantly felt bad, he was only joking! "I'm joking, she'll be down in a minute. So you must be Josh then?"
"Um, yes. Can I come in?" Josh questioned, and Joe nodded.

Emma called from upstairs, unaware that Josh was here. "Dad, where is my, wait, never mind! Papa's got it!"
"Why did she say Papa and Dad, not Mum and Dad?" Josh asked Joe, and Joe's eyes widened.

"She-she didn't tell you did she?" Joe gasped, and Josh shook his head. "Oh my, there's only one way to say this. Emma has two dads. I have a husband, I am gay." Joe confessed, and Josh's face expression didn't change.

"Okay." Josh shrugged, and turned away from Joe. Joe looked at him in confusion.
"Your not homophobic or anything?" Joe tested.
"No why would I be? Why would it make it difference? I don't care if Emma has two dads, it's actually pretty cool. Where's your husband then?" Josh told Joe, and Joe grinned.

"I have no idea, Josh. Caspar! Where are you?" Joe called, and Caspar came running down the stairs.

"Whoa Caspar, careful, we don't want you falling down the stairs again." Joe scolded, and Caspar groaned.
"Hi you must be Josh, I'm Caspar." Caspar said, ignoring Joe's comment. "Sorry, I was just helping Emma out. She threw her phone at a wall, her friend made a joke about My Chemical Romance breaking up." Caspar explained. Joe rolled his eyes.

"I'm ready." A voice came from the top of the stairs, and the three boys looked up to see Emma.
She was wearing a pale green dress that came down to her knees, and her brown hair was curled. She had a long necklace on that she had received as a present from aunt Zoë. She walked down the stairs, being careful not to fall down them like Caspar had, and smiled at them.

"Hi Josh." She whispered, and Josh grabbed her hand.
"Should we go?" He asked, Emma nodded.

And as Emma and Josh walked out the door and in the direction to the restaurant, Joe couldn't help but let another tear slip. Caspar put his arm around Joes shoulder, kissing his cheek. Joe turned around and cuddled into Caspar.

"She's growing up Caspar, it's not long until her sixteenth birthday." Joe mumbled into Caspar's chest, and Caspar placed another kiss on the top of Joe's head.
"I know, I'm so proud of her." Caspar replied.

"I'm proud of her too. So proud of our little Emma Lee."
