Very few mornings passed where Marley managed to be awake before the kids. Well, Nolan more than anything, but that was okay. It was a good way to wake up, and she got the chance to spend time with him before his sister woke. “Hi, mi hijo.” She laughed, kissing the top of his head as she scooped him up, wandering into the kitchen. “I was wondering where you were.” Marley admitted, readjusting her grip on their son. He was going to be too big to be carried around soon, but she would take what she could. 

Caleb heard his wife’s footsteps before she even came in the room. He couldn’t help the wide smile that swept across his face as he moved to place a quick kiss on her lips, “Good morning, beautiful,” his attention turned to their son as he pressed another kiss to his forehead too. “Now that we’re all awake what do you want for breakfast? I was thinking maybe some eggs and pancakes?”

Caleb was lifting up his daughter in his arms as he spun her around causing her to giggle. “Who’s my pretty little princess?” He asked her curiously knowing that it was just a matter of time before Nolan woke up too. “We should make some breakfast.”

“I’ve really never been worried, but it’s nice to hear.”

“If we’re being honest I at least sort of assumed you knew how far far I’ve been for you.”

“I do know that, I’m just saying. It’s okay to lessen that load once in awhile, I’m more or less pretty functional on my own.”

“You mean you’re too distracted by another gorgeous blonde to be too worried about making sure your big brother is giving you proper attention.”

[caleb-daehler]

peytondaehler‌:

“Maybe. But I’m really okay on my own, Caleb. You don’t have to worry about that.”

“I literally always worry about you and Phoebe. It’s my job to after all, Pey.”

[caleb-daehler]

phoebedaehler‌:

“It doesn’t only go unsaid, though, so really don’t worry. Your kids will turn out great, Caleb. There’s nothing to worry about.”

“When are you girls going to realize all I do is worry? It’s my job to worry about you all.”

[caleb-daehler]

peytondaehler‌:

“I know that, Caleb, but it’s different. As well as we get along, I don’t think Marley would want me living with you and your very small children permanently.”

“I really doubt Marley would care if you or Phoebe ever needed to move in with us. You’re family, and she gets it.”

[caleb-daehler]

peytondaehler‌:

“You know that I love you and adore those kids though, right? And I’d be fine even living down the street, I just would feel weird being in your house. Even if we are family, you have your own now.”

“I do know that you love us, but you’re still my family too. Just because I have them doesn’t make you any less important.”

[caleb-daehler]

peytondaehler‌:

“Not for you. We both know I’d be moody and miss my own space within a month.”

“I’d at least try to make it work for you though. But I wouldn’t push it because you’re right you’d be miserable.”

[caleb-daehler]

marleyconrad‌:

“Well, I would hope not. If you wanted to create one with someone else, we would have a problem.”

“Trust me I don’t. No one even grabs my attention that isn’t you.”

[caleb-daehler]

peytondaehler‌:

“Which would sound great if I didn’t know one month turns into two, and then three, until suddenly I’m a live-in aunt for the babies.”

“It’s almost terrifying how well you know me. But I mean it wouldn’t be so terrible if it happened.”

[caleb-daehler]

“I don’t think that’s possible. Marley would kill you if it ever did happen, too, but that’s not surprising. And you don’t, but I kinda know, so it goes unsaid.”

“It shouldn’t go unsaid though, you should always know just how proud I am of you. I’d be proud if any of the kids turned out like you have.”

[caleb-daehler]

marleyconrad‌:

“Yeah, but that was partly my doing, remember?” Marley teased, “I know if it was possible, I’d probably be on our fourth right now.” 

“You know I can’t deny it. But it’s only because we make the best children, and I could never imagine creating a life with anyone else.”

[caleb-daehler]

marleyconrad‌:

“Really? That’s possible?”

“We currently only have two kids don’t we?”

[caleb-daehler]

marleyconrad‌:

“I just ask we don’t go for back to back pregnancies again, if we can help it. That was exhausting.”

“I think that is something that I can help prevent at the very least.”

[caleb-daehler]

marleyconrad‌:

“I mean, it couldn’t hurt if you’re ready for the third.”

“Babe I was ready for a third the moment Penny was born.”

[caleb-daehler]

marleyconrad‌:

“It wouldn’t hurt to try even if it doesn’t happen right away, which seems unlikely but you never know. I got two years with Nolan and Penny, which is longer than I expected either of us to hold out, anyway.”

“If you’re ready for number three I will absolutely be happy to throw away all the birth control and try tonight.”
