A quick note before we begin the chapter. I wanted to let y'all know I'll be slowly editing the story, NO MAJOR CHANGES will be made! It's mainly grammar issues I'll be fixing!  Thank you <3 Neon


Alexandre came into the kitchen with two kids swinging off of his arms, making me giggle. "Abuela Rosie, we wanna know when dinner will be finished." One of the kids laughed.

"Get off of your cousin like that; dinner is almost finished." She swatted her hands at the kids. They both let go of Alexandre's arms and ran up to Benjamin.

"Daddy, can we please open our presents?" One of the twins asked. They looked at the older Omega with big eyes; their bottom lips puckered out, giving him the puppy dog look.

"No," Benjamin explained sternly. "We're eating dinner first, little love bugs." He patted their heads.

"But Daddy." One whined.

"What's that? No whining or the two of you will be opening your presents last. We're eating dinner first." He crossed his arms, looking down at the two.

"Okay." They sighed in unison, disappointment evident in their voices. One of them spots me holding onto their little brother, who had fallen asleep on me about 20 minutes ago.

"Who's he?" He asked.

"I'm August, who're you?" I raise my eyebrows.

"I'm Kagen." He grinned at me, showing off his two missing front teeth.

"And I'm Ragen." The other said, making a pose, throwing his arm up dramatically, the other on his hip.

"Well, it's nice to meet you, Kagen and Ragen. How about we go into another room to play, so your daddy and Abuela can finish making dinner? That way we can eat faster so we can open presents!" I adjusted the sleeping baby, his head now resting on my shoulder, and I was holding him up by his bottom.

"I think that sounds like a good idea, August." Alexandre chimed in, wrapping his arm around my waist. "How about we go to our game room? Uncle Kent just got a new pinball machine, and it's super cool." He explained enthusiastically.

"Can we daddy?" Ragen asked Benjamin.

"You guys can just be careful; you better not mess up Uncle Kents machine!" He shouted at the kids as they ran after Alexandre. He was yelling at them, saying that they couldn't catch him. "If Rin wakes up, bring him to me, he'll be hungry," Benjamin moved the big pan of Pozole onto the back burner. I nodded my head and followed Alexandre's scent to the game room.

I couldn't help but chuckle at Alexandre, holding up Kagen, who was wildly pressing the side buttons to keep the ball from going in the hole. Ragen stood on his tippy toes, watching the game go on, hoping that the ball would go in so he could have a turn. I sat down on the couch, making Rin move around a little bit. I quickly started to rub his back to soothe him, and he sighed before his breathing started coming out evenly again.

"C'mon kiddo, I have my money riding on you." Alexandre motivated the kid in his arms. "Get them flappers goin'!"

"I am, I am!" Kagen shouted, pressing the buttons harder.

"Dude, you guys look like a family, it's freaky because those are my cousins," Logan said, leaning against the door frame, pulling me from my thoughts.

"Thanks?" I furrowed my eyebrows at him.

"I'm just being honest. You, holding a baby in your arms while he sleeps, and him playing with the pups. Total moment." He smirked, coming in the room, sitting beside me.
