It was well past midnight when Reid finally made it home. He had been too busy to eat all day so he decided to grab a bite to eat before joining his husband in bed. When he entered the darkened kitchen, he noticed that his daughters, Mattie and Emma, were sitting across from one another in the middle of the floor with the remains of a blackberry pie sitting between their outstretched legs. Their faces, hands, arms were covered in the sticky remains of the pie. Reid was absolutely appalled. That was really no way to treat one of Emma’s pies.
He put his hands on his hips, donned his fiercest frown [the one that made interns pee themselves] and cleared his throat.
The three year old girls looked up in surprise.
Then Emmie put her thumb in her mouth and let Mattie take the lead in defending their actions.
“Daddy,” whispered Mattie with a sweet [sweet as blackberries] smile. “We’re so happy you’re home.”
“Save the saccharine sentiments, little missy, and explain to me why I shouldn’t put your sticky little butts in your Time Out chairs for creating such a mess. And for not saving me any of Grandma Emma’s pie,” growled Reid.
“It’s not what it looks like,” avowed Mattie.
Reid raised his eyebrow in question.
“Daddy let us each have a little piece of pie after supper,” said Mattie. “But it tasted funny. So we ate it to make sure you wouldn’t get sick.”
“So your defense is that your Grandma Emma tried to poison us all and that the two of you courageously decided to sacrifice yourselves in order to save my life?” asked Reid. “That’s what you’re gonna go with?”
Mattie and Emmie exchanged glances. Emmie shrugged.
“Yes,” said Mattie with a brisk nod of her head. Reid once again found himself admiring how his little hoodlums usually tried to bluff their way out of trouble.
He had just about decided to let the kids off the hook, hose them off and to toss them into their beds when his husband showed up in the kitchen wiping the sleep out of his eyes.
Luke frowned. It was his “Did you really think that you could try to takeover my company and I wouldn’t destroy your pathetic little life?” frown. Reid immediately threw his hands up in the air so that Luke could see that his hands were blackberry-free.
The girls sighed sadly. Daddy Reid was a pushover but Daddy Luke wasn’t.
Luke raised his eyebrow.
“We’re not supposed to come downstairs to the kitchen in the middle of the night by ourselves,” sighed Mattie. Emmie nodded.
“And we know that pie is just a sometimes food,” said Mattie. Emmie nodded.
“And we made a big mess and we didn’t save any for our daddies,” said Mattie. Emmie nodded.
“We were bad and we have to sit in our Time Out chairs for ten whole minutes,” said Mattie. Emmie nodded.
“We’re sorry,” said Mattie and Emmie forlornly. The stood up and began their sad trek to their Time Out chairs. It took them much longer than it should have because they kept shooting hopeful looks at their Daddy Reid in case he’d be willing to try to talk Daddy Luke out of making them sit in their Time Out chairs. They hated sitting in their Time Out chairs more than anything in the world. Even more than second-rate sushi.
Luke kissed a saddened Reid and gave his butt a comforting pat. Reid always hated when they had to punish the girls. Luke would never understand how he had become Tough Dad.

Ahaha. She is a pretty precocious 3-year old. I can definitely see Reid being the pushover daddy and Luke being the disciplinarian.

The girls are adorable, I love how they tried to get out of their pie transgressions by pretending to be noble...saving Reid from poisoning...right? Did they think their fathers were born yesterday?
So cute!

ToughDad and SoftDad. And two adorable girls. No need for an imaginary friend when having a sister like Mattie!
