Harry and Peter loaded up the kids in the SUV where car seats were already assembled in. Harry sat up front with a rookie driver and Peter sat in the back. Charles was in the very back, and Skylar was in the middle row with Peter. Harry turned to face them and made a silly face at Charles. Charles giggled, and crossed his eyes. Harry laughed in response. Skylar was babbling content noises. They went to a family friendly pizza place a couple minutes away from the manor. Harry told the driver that they would need to be picked up in an hour, and helped to unbuckle Skylar as Peter reached back for Charles.
Once they were all out of the car, Peter took Skylar and Harry picked up Charles. They entered the restaurant and were seated by a friendly woman. She grabbed a booster seat for Charles and a high chair for Skylar. Peter thanked her. She asked for their drinks, and once they ordered, Charles set out to color in the small coloring book given to him.
"Do you want to just get half cheese and half pepperoni?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, that should be plenty," Peter agreed.
Harry leaned into Charles to see what he was doing. Peter ran his fingers through Skylar's curls. She looked up at him and smiled. Harry was teaching Charles how to play Tic Tac Toe before they began to play. Peter could tell Harry was letting Charles win, and when the boy did he grinned happily. "I won daddy!"
"Good job, kiddo," Harry praised.
Harry looked at him and winked.
"Can we play again?" Charles asked.
"Sure. Winner goes first!" Harry exclaimed.
Charles looked pleased as he drew his 'X' in the middle spot.
It wasn't long before their order came out with plates. Peter took a small slice of cheese pizza and began dicing it up so Skylar could eat a bit easier. Harry put Skylar's bib on, and then served Charles a slice of pepperoni pizza. Peter set the plate in front of Skylar and watched as her chubby fingers picked up a piece and placed it in her mouth. She chewed, seemingly content with the food.
Peter picked up a slice of cheese pizza and took a bit himself. He was still on air with having a family of his own.
After they had finished eating and the kids were cleaned up, Harry paid for their meal and helped load the kids back in the SUV. They stopped at the Baby 'R' Us and began their adventure of getting the furniture for the kids. Harry and Peter each had a cart with a child sitting in each one. They maneuvered their way through the different aisles, piling boxes into the carts.
"We might have to order the toy boxes and the little table and chairs you wanted to get Charles," Harry said, noticing the over flowing carts.
"What's important is that we have the crib and changing table. We can order everything else on the internet. We also have the sheets and comforter for Charles, and we also have a lot of clothes for the kids. I think we should get hangers, and maybe we can use the dressers for like pajamas and swim suits, stuff like that. I do want to get something to put the kids dirty clothes in, so maybe we can maybe get that today as well before we go and look at paint. I'll worry about the décor lately," Peter replied.
"Alright, sounds good," Harry said.
After their trip was finished and the kids were becoming a bit grumpy, Harry and Peter each put a child to bed to nap for an hour, while the servant brought up the stuff and unloaded it all in Skylar's room. Peter and Harry got to work on building the crib and changing table, finding it to be easy.
Once Peter had set up the mattress and blanket in the crib, and the changing pad for the table, he began pulling out the small baskets and slipping them in the shelves beneath the table. Diapers, wipes, and powder were stored in the totes. Harry went downstairs to start ordering the rest of the furniture, not even flinching when he paid for the most expensive and better quality furniture. Of course, Peter didn't have to know that. They had more than enough money, and he was going to use it to spoil his children with nice things.
After an hour passed by, Peter had managed to hang up the clothes they bought for Skylar excluding the pajamas. Harry entered their daughters room, "I got the express shipping so our stuff should be here in two days."
Peter smiled, "Awesome. Do you want to go wake up Charles, while I go wake up Sky?"
"Sure," Harry said happily. He left the room to go wake up his son still fast asleep and breathing deeply.
"Charles, kiddo, wake up. It's time to play," Harry murmured to him gently, sitting on the bed and moving to lay next to him.
Charles blinked and closed his eyes once more, turning over to cuddle with his father. Harry smiled and brought the little boy in and kissed the top of his head.
He let the boy take his time to wake up, and watched as the piercing blue eyes met his. He grinned, "Hi daddy."
"Hey kiddo, sleep well?" Harry asked.
"Yeah," Charles replied, rubbing his eyes. The little boy sat up and looked around the room, "Dad needs a new name."
"I agree," Harry chuckled.
"How about papa?" Charles offered.
"I'm sure that would be fine." Harry said, sitting up and tickling the boys sides.
The boy squealed in delight and pleaded for his daddy to stop! Once Harry relented he kissed Charles forehead and picked the out of breath boy.
Charles wrapped his arms around Harry's neck and legs around his waist.
Peter was still in the room holding Skylar.
"Hey, Pete, Charles has decided that you will be 'papa' and that I will be 'daddy.'" Harry announced.
"That's a great idea Charles, but you also need a nickname. Skylar is Sky, what could we call you…" Peter trailed off.
"How about buddy? It's simple," Harry asked.
"Okay," Charles said shyly.
