Ever since the twins were born, Ashton had hovered around. At first, you weren’t sure if he just didn’t understand boundaries, since he often stayed over, or if he was just excited about this new additions to the family.
He would sleep on the couch, often with Kaia laying on his chest, and you would have to scoop her up to change her and put her into her actual bed. Often when Calum and you woke up, Ashton had already done his morning yoga and was cooking breakfast. He checked on the girls always before making breakfast, just in case one of them happened to be awake, at which point he would offer up a bottle you had pumped the night before, or just strap them to his chest and sway softly, singing to them as he cooked.
You had talked with Ashton the one night, Maia’s head tucked under his chin as she made soft coos. He told you that he always wanted to be a dad, and it made him so excited and happy to see his family growing and that Calum had that. You made sure he knew that one day he’d too have that and more, since he stated he wanted upwards of 8 children, and he just smiled softly, not quite sure if he believed you.
Ashton met his partner at the girls second birthday party. A friend of your cousin tagged along with them, and from the moment they walked through the door, Ashton was gone. You saw it, as soon as they met eyes, you saw the way he melted... And Ashton knew he was a goner.
His partner was so good with your children, and had become one of your closest friends in turn. They would come over for play dates with the girls, letting Maia and Kaia dress them up however they pleased, and putting on their best posh accent during their tea parties.
The girls had asked once why Ashton referred to them as his partner, which sparked a rather interesting conversation between the group of you. As you tried to explain about gender neutral terms to two almost four year olds, they interrupted; it turns out they were more offended that Ashton’s partner was a cowboy and no one told them, rather than the fact that Ashton called them partner.
After that moment, they often greeted them by saying “Howdy, partner,” in their best impression of a southern accent that they could.
When the day finally came that Ashton told you and Calum that he was going to ask them to marry him, you couldn’t hold back your excitement, already planning of different venues they could look at.
Needless to say, they said yes, and the next step they needed to take (well, in their minds), was solidifying the wedding party. Ashton settled on Calum as his best man, and his partner chose you to stand by their side as well. When it came to the subject of flower girls, Ashton asked if you could grab the girls so he could talk to them.
He had asked if he could talk to them in private, but being nosy as you were, you couldn’t help but to linger around the corner to listen in.
“Okay I’m sure Mama and Dada told you that I’m going to be getting married, yeah?” Ashton asked, resting his head on top of Maia’s while they sat in his lap. The two of them nodded, curls bouncing enthusiastically with them as they did. “Well, I wanted to ask you both if you wanted to be the flower girls at the wedding.”
You had hoped that Ashton chose to wear ear plugs, because the resulting squeals that came from the girls were deafening even at so far away.
“Is it gonna be a southern wedding? Are they gonna invite their other cowboy friends?” Maia asked, wide brown eyes looking up at Ashton, who simply chuckled.
“No, sadly. No southern wedding, but we may be able to throw in some line dancing if you’re lucky.” Pressing a kiss to the top of each of their heads, he hugged them close, “But is that a yes then? You wanna be flower girls?”
“Will you make sure to have the wedding after baby brother is born so he can be a flower girl too?” Kaia raised her eyebrows at him as she spoke, her tone demanding a specific answer.
Ashton laughed again, biting his lower lip to keep from laughing too hard at the innocent question, “I wouldn’t have it any other way love.”

Catch up on Olive, Willie and Calum in Our Mini Family (they aren’t in chronological order, but I’m usually writing them where Willie is a toddler)
Also, this got very long and i’m very sorry. no i’m not
_________
So right after Calum, Ashton is second in line to being the favorite to Willie. Willie loves how silly uncle Ashton is and he’s always up to play race cars or restaurant or Willie’s favorite game about an elephant, a dinosaur and a cowboy. (That game is lost on everyone except Willie and Ashton, that’s their game.)
Just recently, Calum and Olive have decided to find a place of their own, so that they can really be a family. Calum’s barely at his place as it is because he and Duke spend nearly every night at Olive and Willie’s place. So they were going to take the day exploring houses with their realtor and Ashton was more than willing to watch Willie while they were gone.
Willie was having none of it at first. After turning three on August 21, Willie has reached the terrible threes and they’ve become fussy and an angry little person.
“I go too! I go too!” Willie kicks their legs in their car seat in the back.
“Uncle Ash will be sad you don’t want play with him, Wills,” Calum says and it’s as if he said the magic word.
Calum and Olive wanted it to be a surprise Willie would be spending the day with Ashton but with their continuous screaming, it was time to throw in the towel.
Willie’s legs stopped kicking immediately.
“Unca Ash?!” their eyes widen and then they’re kicking again, but this time from happiness. Willie makes a little dance of it all as well.
“Yea bugaboo, you’re going to spend all day with Uncle Ashton,” Olive tells them turning in her seat.
“Excited mommy!” Willie smiles showing their tiny dimples in their cheeks.
Calum and Olive exchange smiles and listen to Willie’s story they’ve created. The thought of spending the day with Ashton has put them in a much better mood.
When the family of three arrive at Ashton’s, Willie is a wiggling worm trying to get out of their car seat.
“Willie, you need to sit still for mommy so I can get you out,” she tells them a little sternly.
Willie freezes while Calum grabs their bag, he laughs at Willie’s clear excitement but still feels a pang of jealousy of that excitement directed to Ashton. He’s glad Willie has connected so well with all of his friends, but it’s hard to take at the same time. Does Willie get that excited for Calum anymore?
Once Willie is safely on the ground, they bolt up the driveway to the front door and they try their hardest to reach the doorbell.
“Daddy help! Can’t reach!” Willie shouts looking back at Calum and Olive.
That eases Calum slightly so he rings the doorbell then opens the door to see Ashton halfway in the hallway making his way to the entrance.
“Munchkin!”
“Unca Ash!” Willie squeals and runs to their favorite uncle who scoops them up in a big hug.
Calum and Olive shuffle in grinning at the exchange of dual happiness between Ashton and Willie.
“Hey guys,” Ashton finally greets them shifting Willie to his hip who is now playing with the chain around Ashton’s neck.
“Hey man,” Calum greets. “Everything you need is in here, their blanket, toys, snacks and a sippy cup of juice.”
“Make sure they drink water for lunch, though,” Olive instructs. “We can’t have juice all the time, right bugaboo?”
“Mhmm,” Willie hums indifferently then says to Ashton, “play the drums?”
“We can play drums, munchkin,” Ashton grins kissing their cheek.
“All right, well, we’ll get going I guess,” Olive says kissing Willie’s cheek. “We should be back close to dinner time if we’re lucky and find something we like.”
“Call if you need anything,” Calum says kissing Willie’s cheek as well. “Bye Wills, be good for uncle Ash.”
“Can you say bye to mommy and daddy?” Ashton asks as they walk out the door.
“Bye mommy! Bye daddy!” Willie waves.
“All right munchkin, want to play drums first?”
Willie claps their hands and screams in excitement as Ashton is already heading downstairs where his (and Willie’s) kits are. Ashton doesn’t play as hard like he normally would and he creates a simply beat while Willie watches in hard concentration.
Willie tries to mimic Ashton the best they can and Ashton encourages them the whole time. Then like all the other times, Willie goes crazy and hits everything with much enthusiasm.
After drums, they head upstairs to color and watch Blue’s Clues or Little Bear. It’s a Blue’s Clues kind of day. They’re sat at Ashton’s coffee table with sheets of paper and crayons and a pile of cheerios in the middle that Willie would always nibble on.
Half the time Ashton would just sit and watch Willie, completely enraptured by this little person whom he loves so much. Willie would speak to the TV and sing along when necessary and Ashton can already tell they’re going to be a genius.
After coloring time they go outside and play in the sandbox, a necessity that needs to be at every uncle’s house. Ashton listens to Willie chatter about whatever it is on a three year old’s mind and plays along with their imagination.
Willie yawns loudly.
“Let’s head inside for naptime,” Ashton suggests dusting sand off his hands.
“No nap! Elephant and cowboy time!” Willie waves their arms in the air.
“We can play elephant and cowboy after your nap, I pinky promise,” Ashton holds out their pinky which Willie links up with quickly.
Naptime is the best with uncle Ash. Willie snuggles up next to him in the middle of Ashton’s bed with pillows surrounding the edges. Ashton always makes up funny stories for Willie while rubbing their head (a trick Calum told him) until Willie fell asleep. Ashton would slip away to let Willie sleep for about an hour or an hour and a half.
While Willie slept, Ashton cleaned and would get the ingredients ready for dinner (mac & cheese and hot dogs in croissant rolls were Willie’s favorite) until he’d hear Willie calling for him.
“Did you have good dreams, munchkin?” Ashton would ask as a sleepy Willie rubbed their eyes. They looked a lot like Olive did when waking up.
“Uh huh, mommy, daddy and Duke flied me to nana’s house.”
“Really? That’s a very good dream,” Ashton nods.
The rest of the day goes off without a hitch, they played their elephant/dinosaur/cowboy game--Ashton winged it every time--and watched more Blue’s Clues after dinner until Olive and Calum came back.
“Where’s our little Willie?” Calum calls and Willie scrambles from the couch after hearing his voice.
“Daddy!” Willie lunges into Calum’s legs who grunts at the impact. He hugs Willie best he can before squatting in front of them letting Willie climb onto his thigh. Willie began telling Calum all that they did with uncle Ash in broken sentence but Calum listened intently.
“Did you find something?” Ashton asks Olive while Willie and Calum share their moment.
“I think so,” Olive nods, “We’re going to look at it again Monday but this time with Willie. You guys clearly had fun today.”
“We always do,” Ashton grins, “but look at how they are with Calum.”
“I know,” Olive smiles, “he gets jealous of you sometimes.”
“What? That’s crazy. Willie doesn’t look at me like that,” Ashton shakes his head.
Olive looks at Willie who is still sharing about their day all while holding Calum’s cheek in their tiny little hand.
