Lucca
I sit in my playroom, just messing with the toys. I wasn't allowed to go out and watch the good doctor. But if I just go walk out there acting big, I might be able to watch. So I do. I stand up, I steady myself on my feet and go walk out to the livingroom. I look over at Alex and Ethan and walk over to them. "Hi." I say, not really having thought this through. "Lucca," Alex says. "were you given permission to come out here? Or were you told to stay in your playroom because you threw a fit?" I pause. I WAS told to stay. "I wanted juice. But I also came over to say hi to you first." He eyes me skepticaly. "You can have water, you had a TON of juice at breakfast. And not the somewhat healthy one, the super sugary Hawaiian punch stuff." I get a bit pouty, just a BIT. I want juice, not water! Then Ethan starts to talk. "How about I get you some water, but I pour it so it's one third lemonade two thirds water?" What the hell was that deal?! No way! I won't stand for this. "Nuh uh! No! I want my juice, I'll go get it myself." I huff and head towards the kitchen. I started at my normal pace but the MOMENT I HEARD FOOTSTEPS BEHIND ME I TOOK OFF. I heard footsteps that could only belong to Alex. I reach the fridge, my hand goes for the left door handle, I get grabbed around the waist and picked up. "No!" I say and start to kick and try to get away. I know I'm being dramatic but still! "You were told no, so that means you listen."
Alex
I hold onto Lucca. I have no clue what's been going on with him. "Buddy, knock it off." I say as he goes to be dead weight and try to get himself on the floor. "No! I want juice!" I look back at Ethan, super confused. "Bubs you didn't sleep through the whole night, did you?" He keeps trying to get away, making himself more frustrated and pretty much answering my question. "Okay, I think we need to go have a nap." I pick him up despite him now tugging at my clothes and being incredibly upset. I take him up to mine and Ethan's room and lay him on my bed. "Buddy, what's wrong?" I ask as he just lays there tugging on the blankets and my clothing. "I wanna watch TV!" He huffs, tugging harder. I remove his hand from my clothes. "Please don't tug on my clothes baby." I reach to my nightstand and grab an extra paci. I put it in his mouth and hold it there for a moment as I try to figure out what to do. I hand him a pillow to let him squish, hit and tug at. "Alright buddy, can you stay here and behave while I go get you some PJs?" He nodded. I go and get him a light blue onesie and a stuffie before walking back and getting him dressed up for bed. "Okay sweet boy, time to lay down." He looks upset still, but I can tell he's tired. I tuck him into the blankets, laying there with him. Eventually he falls asleep and I go back downstairs.
Ethan
I see Alex walk back downstairs."Did he go down easy?" I ask. He nodded. "Took him about 5 minutes but he's out cold. But speaking of Lucca, I need to call the doctor and make him an appointment." I nodded at him. "Shots?" He nodded. "Yep. So I can guarantee it's gonna be a screaming, crying, shit show. Anyways, we have a business meeting. I'm going to go wait in the car. Rose, you're in charge of Lucca." She nods as me and Alex leave. We get into the car and go to our business building, also known as "The mafia business" where we just do our paperwork, bust drug dealers and gangs that do dumb shit and bash our group and occasionally, we off someone.
Rose
I stay downstairs, watching TV until I hear fussing in the baby monitor. I go upstairs and into Alex and Ethan's room. "Hi Lucca." I say, approaching slowly. He looks up at me with big doe eyes. "Where Dada?" I pause, he's asking for Ethan first? "He left to go do work sweet boy." I watch his think. "Daddy?" I gently run my fingers through his hair. "He went with Dada, buddy. They both left." Holy shit. If I wasn't the one telling him and I just walked in the room, I'd think someone just died. I just freeze as I watch his eyes start to water...then the sibs break out and he starts crying out for them. "Daddy!" He got out of the bed and to the floor and rushed to the door. "Dada!" I go over and pick him up. "Shhh, buddy what's wrong? They just went to work. They'll be back." He just keeps crying and screaming. Eventually Kayden walks in. "What's going on up here?" He takes one look at us...and leaves. Fucking leaves.
Kayden
I immediately text the bosses.

Kayden
I put my phone down, going to go make a bottle to see if that will help Rose calm him down. I make the bottle and take it upstairs to her. "Hey, I don't know if he'll want it, but I made a bottle. It's that angel milk stuff. Milk, vanilla and sugar." I say while handing it to her. "Thanks Kayden."
Lucca
I stay in the floor, crying and screaming. They left! They just left! No goodbye, no I love you, NOTHING! What if something had happened to them! They just left me alone with Rose and Kayden! I look up to see Rose holding a bottle out to me. "Hey buddy, look! You want it?" I nod and reach for it. She sits me up and puts me in her lap, holding it for me.
There we go, Daddy and Dada will be back soon baby
