James was drunk, but also excited, and more than ready to see Cepheus. His team had won a big game -- a game that meant they were now vying for second or third in the league -- and they'd gone out celebrating after. James had sent a lot of pouty texts, trying to get Cepheus to come join him, but he'd been busy or something because he kept saying no, and James would have been put out about not being able to crawl all over Cepheus while he was celebrating, but that was fine. He just danced with a bunch of slutty girls and let them try and get his his pants, which were completely uninterested in letting them in.

"Gay and engaged," he hummed to himself, trying to fit his key in the door. The pictures on the blogs were going to be ridiculous. "En-gay-ged." James rattled the door open and fell into the flat, laughing to himself. "Pheeeeeeee, I'm a champion! Chaaaaaaampion! And I'm gaaaaaaay!"

Cepheus frowned down at his son and stood up. He took his hand and led him over to the corner, sticking him there. "I love you, but you're not being nice. So you're going to stand in the corner." He informed him. "I want to see your nose in the crack."

Rigby nodded and pressed close to her Daddy. She shoved her thumb in her mouth, then tugged on a bit of his hair. "Prisess."

"You don't love me at all!" Jaks declared, scowling at his father for a long moment before he started to tear up, sniffling pathetically. "You love Rigby and the baby more than me. You had the baby and now I'm not special anymore and all you want to do it play dresses with Rigby because you love her best."

James smiled at Rigby, laughing when she pulled on his hair. "Yes, you're definitely a princess. You even get to grow up in a manor. That's pretty much a castle."

Cepheus felt his heart shatter. "That's not true at all." He told him, then sighed and got onto his knees in front of his son. "You know that's not true, Jaks. I love you more than you'll know. I'm just.. I'm better at girl things. I'm not good at sports like your Daddy is."

Rigby giggled. "Prince?" She asked, looking at her baby brother, then back at her Daddy. "Are you a king?"

"We don't have to do sports!" Jaks promised, wiping at his eyes. "You can choose what we play. It's not fair. I was here first and Rigby and the baby make it so that you don't even notice me and they get all the presents because Rigby's a girl and Moses is a stupid baby who can't even do anything but poop."

James nodded firmly. "Moses is definitely a prince," he promised her, but he laughed when she asked if he was a king. "Nah, not me. I'm just a lowly peasant your papa married. He's the one who's a king."

	"You get presents too. You don't like suits." Cepheus pouted at his son, as if it was even going to work. He was tearing up, though. He felt so bad. "What do you want to play with me?" Rigby tried to take all of that in and then nodded, pointing to the tv. "Toy Story?" She asked, clapping her hands together. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Jaks studied his father for a moment, then leaped at him to close the space between them, hugging him tightly. "Legos," he said, voice muffled in Cepheus's shirt. "I wanna play Legos with you."

"Course," James agreed, putting Rigby down on the couch and getting up to put the dvd on for her. Life was so weird having kids instead of living in a slick London flat with Cepheus, but it had re-opened a whole new field of movies to him. "You know I love Toy Story."

***

James had been away from home for three weeks. Three whole weeks of life without Cepheus or any of the kids. They called and Skyped, but it had still been almost a month and he was kind of glad England had gotten knocked out of the World Cup because he'd been dying to get back home. It was just too bad his flight got in in the middle of the night.

He opened the door to find a pile of sleeping children waiting for him on the stairs and he smiled as he eased the door shut. "Phe?" he whispered, glancing around the entrance hall.

Cepheus was carrying a tray of hot cocoa when he heard James come in. He smiled at him and put the tray on one of the tables lining the wall, then held up a cup to James.

"Welcome home." Cepheus leaned in and kissed James deeply, making a soft, pleased noise against his lips. "I've missed you so much."

Rigby sat up and rubbed at her eyes, then screamed Daddy, waking the other two up.

"God, you have no idea how much I missed you," James whispered, wrapping his arms around Cepheus. "I want to carry you upstairs, throw you down, and --" But then Rigby was awake and waking everyone else up. James pulled back, laughing, and walked over to the stairs, wrapping his arms around all three kids and kissing their foreheads. "Did my munchkins miss me?"

"Did you bring presents?" Jaks asked, hugging his dad back and giving him a hopeful look. "We missed you a lot! Daddy let us watch all your games. You shoulda won more."

"He should have. But, now he's home." Cepheus pointed out as he looked down at his kids and laughed. "Doesn't he always bring presents? It's against his religion to not."

Moses looked up at his Daddy with big brown eyes and smiled at him. "Hi Daddy." He told him, then hugged him back. "I'm hungry."

"We waited all night for you, Daddy." Rigby announced as she pushed herself up from the stairs. "We missed you so much we didn't want to miss you coming in."
