"Theo! Can you please stop coming so close to that cake, I don't trust you near it" I say sternly at my 4 year old son.

"Mama, I'm not doing anything. I'm just looking at it" he replies staring at me with his big dough blue eyes, that he got from me. He was currently standing extremely close to the cake I had baked for Jemma—Cams and Owens daughter—she was turning 4. Cam and Owen were coming over, along with Brie and Felix.

"Baby, let him be. It's not like he's going to touch the cake—" Archer walks up behind me and wraps his hand around my waist.

But I cut him off by yelling at Theo.

"No! Don't touch the cake!" I say and quickly walk up to him. But Theo had already scooped up the icing from the cake with him small fingers and placed it in his mouth.

"Ugh, I told you not to touch the cake dude" I shake my head and my very uncooperative son. He just giggled and looked at Archer and I.

"Well, you can just cover it up with some more icing, it'll be fine" Archer shrugs and walks up to the dinning table. He proceeds to scoop up some icing as well, but before he could touch it, I swatted his hand away.

"Don't. Touch. The. Goddamn. Cake" I say and glare at him.

Archer raises his hands in surrender before walking to Theo.

"Wanna go for a swim so we can let this crazy lady cool down?" Archer ask Theo while ruffling his curly brown hair, that he obviously got from Archer.

"Yes, lets do that" Theo nods his head and grabs onto two of Archers fingers and walks up the stairs to go change. Theo's mark was on full display, he still had many years to go. But it still gave me memories of when I met Archer in high school and all the shit I had to do for him to believe me. A small smile formed onto my face and I shake my head in amusement.

Walking to the fridge to remove the icing so I could cover up the place that Theo had taken the icing from.

Around half an hour later I was done making the cake and some food for the small party we were going to have. I walked up the stairs and into Archers and I's bedroom, quickly changing into a sundress. I walked back down the stairs and I saw Archer and Theo walking into the house from the back sliding door. Both of them were dripping wet, their curly hair clumped up a bit with small droplets falling to the wooden floor.

"Go get dressed, they're about to be here in half and hour" I smiled at them and they both nodded their heads and ran up the stairs. Theo was the exact same as Archer, the way he acted and the way he talked really reminds me of the way Archer acts and talks.

I walked into the living room and just sat on the sofa that was against a floor to ceiling window. You could see the front yard from the window and it brought in a lot of sunlight, making the place look cozy.
