He knew that his mom would scold him for spending so much, but he didn’t mind getting scolded. After all, it was not every day that his dad came home, right?
“No idea. She said that it’s a surprise.” Colton muttered, trying his best not to think about the fight between their parents. He couldn’t help but start thinking about whether mom lied about coming home with dad.
“Boys, don’t stress so much,” Eden said, sensing what Colton was thinking. “Just like you both have planned a surprise for your father. Who knows, your father is also planning to surprise you,” she added with a wink.
“But I don’t want any surprises. I want dad.” Calvin said with a pout.
Taking a deep breath, Eden smelt everyone’s scent (Sophia, Brandon, Bruce, and Jake). “And guess what, they’re already here.”
“Really?” Calvin got excited and ran toward the balcony to see them because he had observed both Arts had some sort of power because of which their guess about the arrival of their mom always used to be correct.
“Both Mom and Dad? Together?” Colton asked in a low tone, on which Eden nodded her head. A small smile appeared on his lips.
“Colton, see… mom, dad, Uncle Bruce, and Uncle Jake are here,” Calvin yelled happily and quickly ran inside the house when he realized that they were soon going to enter the elevator and ran outside the flat and stood in front of elevator door but there were four elevators. He started walking to and fro, wondering from which elevator his parents would come out.
“Mom, dad” Calvin exclaimed and jumped into Sophia’s arms. “Wow, dad… you got a haircut and cleaned shaved.” he noticed the big change in his father’s face. Brandon thought to meet his twins in his real look now. Obviously, he couldn’t gain weight all of a sudden, but at least he could look like a human instead of a beggar. “Now, you look handsome, just like me.” Calvin boasted.
Brandon chuckled at his words. “Just like you.” He pinched Calvin’s cheeks and kissed him. They walked toward the flat, and Brandon noticed how Sophia’s small and beautiful home was decorated with balloons and flowers, and his favorite chocolate cake and all other his favorite items were on the table while Sophia narrowed her eyes and looked at Calvin because they were the only one who could think of spending so much money. Calvin grinned at her and kissed her cheek like a bribe.
“This is the last time.” He said, pouting her tiny pink lips.
Brandon observed Colton still standing near the couch. He didn’t run toward any of them, so he went past everyone and approached him, and crouched to reach his level.
“What happened, Colton? Why are you not showing any expression?”
“Will you really… really live with us?” He asked in a low tone.
“Yes, baby. I will live with you all whether we live here or whether we live in Paris, just like a normal family.” Brandon replied truthfully, knowing that how his older son was scared of the thought of not having a normal family. Brandon had spent half of his life or more in Paris. He moved near New york only because of the revenge thing and also because Blood Moon Pack was near New york. But now, he didn’t want to do anything with that place, not until any of his sons or both shifted into werewolves.
“You’re telling the truth, right?”
Caressing his soft cheek, he replied. “Yes. My words are as true as the fact that the sun rises from the east.”
Finally, a big smile appeared on Colton’s lips, and he hugged Brandon happily, making sure not to hurt him. “I love you, dad.”
“I love you, too, sweetheart.”
“Mom, let's go near them and give them a group hug, and everyone, please take our first family photo,” Calvin suggested, remaining in Sophia’s arms.

Bruce and Jake weren't planning on staying at Sophia's flat. Because her flat was not big enough to adjust for everyone, but Calvin solved the problem easily.
"Mom & Dad will stay in our room. Colton and I will stay in Aunt Eden and Aunt Arya's room, and both uncles can stay in the third room."
Though Sophia wanted to go against this arrangement, Calvin got support from his brother, and even Eden and Arya didn't mind sleeping with twins; after all, they had always treated them as their pups.
"But guys, you two also have a personal life," Bruce said, directly not mentioning their sex life in front of the kids.
“Thank you for your concern Bruce but when will we need privacy? We will ask you to sleep in the hall on this sofa cum bed so that boys can get the room in which you both are, and we can get our privacy too. Right, Arya?”
“Absolutely. If he is so much concerned about us. I’m sure he wouldn’t mind sleeping here.” Arya agreed with Eden, pointing toward the sofa.
“Great. You guys are pulling my legs now.” Bruce grinned, enjoying the company of his new friends. And also clearly understanding that they were planning to keep Brandon and Sophia together along with the kids.
But little did they know, neither Brandon nor Sophia was that fool who wouldn't understand their planning or plotting. Sophia wanted to keep kids between her and Brandon, but she knew about Brandon’s surgery on his left hand, so she didn’t want her babies to accidentally hurt him in his sleep, and opposing the idea meant giving reasons to Colton to stress about his parents.
‘How hard can it be to stay in the same bedroom? I have stayed with him before; I can do the same.’ She thought.
Brandon looked around the room in which he had to sleep. The wall was covered with photos of Calvin and Colton.
