« It’s Mrs. Hernandez sweetheart. » She said giving the poor girl a tight-lipped smile.

Adaline nodded and made her way out.

« God, you’re such a dick. » I muttered as I pulled my phone out from my pocket and dialed my friend’s number.

« Yellow ? » Nicholas’s voice answered.

I chuckled and walked out of the room, leaving Selene and Carlo alone.

« Where are y-« 

« Daaaamn baby, you tryna let my hit next ? » I heard Saude’s voice sing in the background.

« Hey Lorenzo ? Who was that fine piece of young ass the just left your house ? » He mumbled smacking his teeth through the phone.

« Babysitter, hands-off. And you’re at my house ? » I questioned as I walked into the private man cave that I had made for me and the guys.

« My spidey senses were tingling and I knew you needed help. » Saude laughed making me roll my eyes.

« You know where to go boys. » I muttered before hanging up and sighing.

I grabbed the bottle of scotch and poured myself a glass. Hearing the familiar sound of small feet, I smiled and looked up to find my sleepy little girl at the doorway of the den.

« Daddy ? » She called out.

I smiled even wider and sat the glass down. « Yes calabaza ? »

{Translation : Pumpkin}

« Why is mommy going to bed with uncle Carlo ? » She muttered in her sleepy voice.

« Because your mother’s a hoe. » I heard Saude answer to Esme.

She turned around to see Saude and Nicholas behind her. Squealing she reached up to Nic who scooped her up and kissed her giggling face.

Nic passed her to Saude who gave her a big hug and kissed her forehead. « Hey darling. » He muttered against her forehead.

I chuckled, throwing back the drink, chugging it all down before putting it back on the table.

« Alright can I have my daughter ? » I laughed and they let her down.

I crouched down with a smile and open arms for her to come running into. « Daddy ! » She squealed as I peppered her little face with kisses everywhere.

« What are you doing up calabaza ? » I said as I propped her onto my hip, walking us to the couch, Saude and Nicholas joined.

« I wanted to wait for you. » She beamed up at me.

I laughed and ruffled her hair. « Did you behave ? » I asked reaching for the remote.

« Yes ! I really like Addy, she’s really nice. And super pretty. »

« Yea she is… » I trailed off catching the guys looking at me with the ‘you wanna fuck’ face.

« So calabaza, cartoons with daddy and uncle Saude and Nic ? »

She nodded her head and cuddled into my chest, turning towards the big flat screen.

« Peppa pig or Spongebob ? » I asked her with a smile.

« You can’t learn shit from SpongeBob so Peppa pig. » Sauce commented as he threw his head back on the couch.

My eyes widened at his choice of words and I was about to hit him but Nicholas beat me to it.

« Watch what you say around my daughter idiota ! » I grumbled covering Esme’s ears.

« Daddy, what’s shit mean ? » She asked looking up at me with her big doe eyes.

I covered her mouth and shook my head. « Don’t say that calabaza, it’s a bad word. »

She nodded in understanding and turned to the TV where Peppa pig played on the screen and we all sat there watching TV together.

My mind ; was thinking of Adaline.

I woke up to the smell of pancakes and the sweet sound of my little girl giggling. I felt warm hands wrapped around my chest as I shifted on the sofa.

« Esme baby, what are you doing up ? » I mumbled as I pulled her closer to me.

When I didn’t hear any response, I slowly forced my eyes open.

« WHAT THE FUCK !? » I quickly pushed Nicholas off me causing him to fall to the floor with a hmph.

« Dude, what the fuck ? I was sleeping asshole. » He groaned.

« Yea, » Saude snorted from the doorway. « In his lap pussy. »

I glared at him, rubbing my aching neck, and got up from the couch. « God it’s too fucking early. Where’s my baby ? » I grumbled as I let my eyes adjust to the sunlight that beamed into the room.

« Beats me. » Saude shrugged. « I just got out of the bathroom. »

« Wait ! » Saude shouted.

He ran into the hallway and to the kitchen with us following. We all stopped with our mouths gaped open at the sight before us.

Adaline was cooking in the kitchen with Esme propped up on the kitchen counter munching on a piece of bacon. Her wavy hair in a high ponytail that fell to her back, my eyes scanned her body. Her legs were clad in light blue jeans that made her perky ass prominent while her chest was covered by a white spaghetti strap tank top. She talked and laughed with Esme not even noticing us until Esme turned towards us.

« Daddy ! » She giggled, stretching her arms out to me. « Look Addy is making breakfast ! »

I smiled and nudged Saude and Nic out the way as I went to my little girl picking her up and sprinkling her face in kisses.

« Good morning Mr. Hernandez, » Adaline smiled as she moved to turn off the stove.

I smiled back and nodded. « Good morning indeed Adaline. »
