Chapter 5
It was October, Sebastian was excited, it was their first Halloween officially together. They had decided to take a short trip instead. Sebastian was laying on the sofa when Anthony stormed in, slamming the door shut. He huffed and drops himself on to the sofa next to Sebastian.
“What's wrong babe?” Sebastian asked him.
“I can't believe it. I've already planned to take a trip with you during fall break, but you know how fucked up things are with me and my ex wife. She called me, she said the kids will be with us. I've told her, I'm taking them during thanksgiving, and she wanted to switch it up, and she told me i should take the kids during Christmas and new years too.” Anthony sighs.
“Come on baby, look at it. More time for me and your kids to grow together, i can get to know them even more. Come on baby, first Halloween for them with us. I can't wait for costume shopping with them.” Sebastian said as he sat up, he was so excited as he squeezed Anthony's thighs.
“I was hoping you would be pretty bumped you know, like we can finally have a couple trip.” Anthony chuckles.
“Our trip can wait, you know what, let's call them up. Let's go costume shopping!” Sebastian cheered as he got up and grabs his jacket.
“Fine, I'll call them up. We're bringing your car alright. I need to fix my headlights soon.” Anthony said as he pulled out his phone, dialing home.
As they pulled up at his old driveway, Anthony got out of the car, just in time for his kids to run up to him, with his ex wife behind him, carrying bags worth of clothes, with her usual frown when she saw Sebastian coming out of the driver side.
“Papa!” Anthony's son said as he runs up to Sebastian, hugging his legs.
“Hey there spider monkey! How are you?” Sebastian said as he pulls him up, hugging him and kissing his cheeks.
“Daddy!” his second son greets him.
“Come here, come to Daddy.” Anthony crouched down as he pulls his son into a hug.
“I've packed their bags, remember their nape time is max 2 hrs or they can't sleep at night. They stopped listening to me sing after you left, so maybe read a book or something. Remember no TV past 9pm. And please let them eat their veggies.” Sheletta said as she hands Anthony the bags.
“Sebastian is a good cook, the kids would eat. Also i sing very well. Thanks alright.” Anthony said as he opens the door for her to dump the bags inside.
“Thanks for taking care of them.” Sheletta said.
“They're my kids too. Happy holidays then.” Anthony said as she pulls him into a hug. She kissed her kids goodbye, Sebastian then drove off.
“Alright kids, what do you want to be for Halloween?” Sebastian asked as they drove away.
“I want to be Falcon!” The first born said.
“Captain America for me!” The second one said.
“How about you Buddy?” Sebastian asked the last one.
“I want to be you, Papa.” he said softly.
“Hmm, you want to be the winter soldier huh?” Sebastian asked him, he just nods at him.
“Fine, I'll make your costume from scratch. Let's get the supplies then.” Sebastian chuckles as they make a turn and off they went to Target.
As Sebastian pushed the cart with the little one inside. The other ran around with Anthony chasing after them, Sebastian shook his head and chuckles.
“Papa, what do you want to be?” the little one asked him.
“Hmm, I'm not sure. What should i be then?” Sebastian leans down, resting his chin on his hand as he rest his elbows on the handle.
“I know! You should be our papa!” the little one replies, as he cups Sebastian chin, rubbing their nose together.
“Soon alright buddy. Let's wait for your daddy to ask me officially.” Sebastian chuckles as he pinch his cheeks.
“Daddy! Marry papa soon!” the little one calls out as Anthony had carried the second one over his shoulders.
“I will alright. Come on now, it's getting late, if you guys want your papa to make dinner, let's go now.” Anthony said as he puts the second one in the cart.
“Alright let's go kids, I'm making pasta tonight.” Sebastian chuckles as he pushed the cart.
The next few days the kids spend their time with Sebastian at Anthony's apartment, decorating their costume, creating it from scratch. Sebastian spends his morning sewing their clothes, as they watched TV, except the little one stuck to him like glue, not wanting an arm length away from him. They would then have lunch and then a quick nap time, all of them sleeping in Anthony's big bed, cuddling up against Sebastian as he read them a book.
It was during their nap time that Anthony came home after his shoot, he opens his bedroom door, and he smiles when he saw the kids cuddling against Sebastian, as a book rested on his chest, his little ones laying on top of Sebastian's chest as Sebastian too had fallen asleep, Anthony closed the door and went to the living room. He picked up the toys and books, packed it nicely. He went to the kitchen and cleaned the dishes. He then went to the dining table, clearing out the mess, careful not to tear apart the costumes that Sebastian had made. He heard his bedroom door open, he pops his head out of the kitchen and smiles, Sebastian had just woke up, rubbing his tired eyes.
“Hey, you're back?” Sebastian yawns.
“You look exhausted baby.” Anthony replies him, as he hugs him around his waist, pulling his head onto his shoulders.
“The kids were having fun, i was trying to help them with their costume.” Sebastian replies tiredly.
“Alright come here, it's time for me to take care of you.” Anthony pulls him to the sofa, and pulling him onto his lap, Anthony rubs his back and slowly Sebastian falls asleep in his arms.
They might have taken a long nap together, when they woke up, the kids were sitting by the dining table, coloring their costume and gluing them together.
“Hey.” Sebastian said as he walks up to them.
“Hi Papa!” the little one greets him.
“Are you guys hungry?” Anthony greets them with a yawn.
“Yes! Can we have chicken tonight?” The eldest one said.
“Sure thing, you guys alright if we leave you alone for now, as we cook dinner?” Sebastian asked them.
“Sure thing Papa!” the second one replies as he looks up from his drawing.
“It feels like we're a family now.” Sebastian sighs as he walks into the kitchen.
“I can't wait to have an official family with you baby.” Anthony grins at him.
“Let's just focus on making dinner alright.” Sebastian chuckles.
