"I'm adopting them."

That's how he threw the bomb. This family likes to throw bombs out of nowhere.

Also, Boom.

"Adopting who exactly?" Elonzo asked, pausing the movie.

"The triplets." Marco answered.

"Are you sure? Being a dad is a big responsibility. You guys gave me grey hair." Dad said, scowling at his kids. Marco smiled when he said the Dad part.

"You don't have grey hair, old man." I deadpanned.

"That's just a way of saying 'kids are a pain in the ass'." Luciano explained for him. "Kids like you actually. Those three little girls are angels."

Elonzo glared at him. Luciano mumbled a sorry then zipped his mouth shut.

"I'm sure. I took so long to come to this decision. I've been thinking about it since Grace got adopted. Romeo agreed and they're going to stay here with me until the wedding." He said.

"That's a good decision you made. I'm proud of you." Dad said, smiling at him.

"Wait." I said, already glaring at Marco. "What do you mean by 'until the wedding'?"

He looked away.
"Then we'll move out." He said.

It became silent.

"No one is moving out." Dad declared, glaring at him.

"We don't want to be a burden. I don't want to stress you out when the kids start living here." Marco said. I clenched my jaw.

"I've raised kids, Marco. How will it stress me out?" Dad asked, to which Marco shrugged, not looking him in the eyes.

"All of my kids are present here and you all better listen clear and note it down if you want." Dad said, in his scary tone. "You're not moving out. I don't care if you get married, have kids or whatever. None of my kids are moving out. Got it?"

"Yes, Dad." We all muttered, kinda scared of the tone.

"Good." He said, before turning to Marco again.

"You can adopt all six of them, but you're staying here, before the wedding and after the wedding." He declared.

"I wanted to adopt all six of them." Marco said, like he suddenly remembered. "But Jay wants the kids to be close to him when they buy their own house. He managed to convince me not to adopt the guys, so they can stay with him. I'll be handling the expenses though."

"Wow." I muttered.

"Good. When are you adopting them?" Elonzo asked.

"By the end of this week." Marco said, smiling.

"I'm so happy." I bounced in my seat.

--------

"Evvie!" Angel yelled, followed by her sisters, as soon as they entered the house. I wrapped them in a hug.

Marco and Romeo entered behind them, holding their bags in their hands.

We had a room renovated for them. We decided it was better for them to share a room, since they don't like to stay away from each other.

"Okay girls. Come here." Marco said, as he put their stuff in the living room. The little girls moved to the living room, bouncing happily. I followed them.

They stood before Marco who was sitting on the couch beside Romeo and looked up at him expectantly.

"Welcome to your new home. Let me introduce you to this man here. His name is Romeo. He's my fiancé..." He was cut off when Angel raised her hand, having a curious look on her face, as she bounced on her toes.

Cute.

"Yes?" Marco said, confused at her actions.

Lol. He hasn't seen such a well-mannered child before. I'd simply cut him off and ask my question.

"What's a fia... Whatever you said." She asked, scrunching up her face.

"Fiancé, Sweetie. It means he's my future husband. We're going to get married soon." Marco explained, smiling sweetly.

"Oo oo." Grace raised her hand, jumping up and down.

"Yes?" Marco asked, smiling. He was adoring them. Romeo was grinning from ear to ear. His eyes were filled with love and adoration.

That's how you know your puppy eyes will work.

"Will there be cake on your wedding?" She asked, tilting her head.

"Oh, and Dance!" Elsa blurted out.

"Yes." Marco chuckled.

"So as I was saying, We're going to get married in two months, then Romeo will move in with us. We couldn't wait longer to have you with us. But he will come to meet you every other day. Is that okay?"

"Yes." They chorused.

Aah. I'm going to pass out. They're so cute.

"There are my granddaughters." Dad sang, entering the room. The three girls spun around and looked at Dad curiously.

"He's my Dad. Your Grandpa." Marco smiled, ushering them forward to meet him.

He opened his arms for them to hug him. He wrapped the three of them in a hug and kissed their heads.
"Welcome home, babies." He said.

Elonzo entered next, smiling widely when he saw the kids.
"Welcome home." He said, kissing their foreheads.

Angel motioned for him to bend down. Elonzo crouched down, so she could reach his ear. She whispered something, which everyone heard clearly.

"Marco said, he's going to kiss Romeo."

Elonzo raised his eyebrows and looked at Marco wide-eyed.

"No, I didn't." Marco defended himself, turning red as Romeo just shrunk a little, looking away.

"Yes you did. You said you were getting married." Elsa said.

"Yeah?" He said.

"And people get married when they kiss before everyone." She scrunched up her face.

"That's..." Marco stopped. "That's one way to say it, I guess."

Meanwhile, I was laughing, while trying not to roll off the couch.

"Whatever you do. Don't be with your Aunt for too long." Elonzo pointed at me. "Bad influence."

I huffed.
"And stay away from the big meanie." I said, crossing my arms.

This trucker is in for a surprise. I'll spoil them rotten and teach them a few tricks when they grow up.

"Dad!" Elsa yelled suddenly, running to the living room door.

I turned with a frown, which dropped when my eyes landed on Princess.

He picked her up and hugged her tight.

"Dad's here." Angel giggled, running to him when he crouched down and opened his arms.

I looked back at Marco and Romeo who were both frowning sadly, while looking at the kids.

They'll start calling them that soon. They just need time to accept them as their Fathers. They call Zack 'Dad' just because of fun. It's not like they've accepted him as their father.

-------

Three months later.

The silence in the house vanished as soon as the kids entered.

Noah, Josh and Liam were here today and the girls just returned from school.

"Dad, where are you?" Elsa yelled.

"In the kitchen, honey." Marco yelled back.

The three little kids entered the kitchen. A lot of squealing and excitement on meeting the guys later, they settled down. Marco crouched down as they all hugged him and kissed his cheek. This was a routine.

"How was school?" Elonzo asked, like always.

"Stacy was being mean to my friend, so I told her off." Elsa said, putting her head up proudly.

Elonzo raised his eyebrows in amusement.
"Oh?"

"Yes. She was so cool. Tell him Elsa." Grace nudged her.

"I said, "Don't you dare take that tone with her, little girl, or you're going to regret it"." She said, making me almost choke on my drink.

She repeated what Elonzo says to me and said that in a heavy voice for extra effect.

Elonzo gaped at her, while I was laughing.

Everyone was trying hard to control their laughter. Elonzo blinked, cleared his throat and looked at Marco.

"Did your kid really do that?" He asked, gaping at him. Marco shrugged, smirking.

I stifled a laugh.
"You should stop scolding me." I said, smugly. He narrowed his eyes.

"I did that too." Elsa said, jumping down from her chair, pointing at Elonzo's face.

She stood with her hands on her hips, tilted her head down a little, narrowed her eyes and tapped her foot.

"She looked like Uncle Ellie." Grace nodded, having a proud look on her face.

Leo choked on water and started coughing.

"Okay, Honey." Elonzo said, clearing his throat. "That's enough. You should eat first then you can tell me everything in detail."

Yes. Elonzo was shocked and embarrassed but he was mostly proud when she copied how he tried to look when he's angry.

Dad entered the room, hugging and kissing the kids, while they did the same back.

As soon as he took a seat, Angel jumped down from her chair.

"Grandpa Grandpa!" She squealed jumping over to him.

"Yes, princess." Dad asked, leaning down to pick her up.

"I got married today." She said. This time I really spat the water.

"She what?" Nathan whispered from beside me.

"That's not fair. She's married already. I didn't even have a boyfriend till I was sixteen." I exclaimed. Elonzo glared at me which made me shut up.

"You what?" Marco asked, wide eyed, fear evident on his face.

"I got married. My husband's name is Rylie. Look." She held up her right hand, having a flower ring on her index finger. "He said, people wear rings while getting married and we kissed so now I'm his wife." She giggled.

"I told you to stay away from him." Liam said, scowling at her.

Oh no.

"That boy and I need to have a talk." Marco gritted, glaring at the ring on Angel's hand.

"Throw that ring away." Elonzo said, his hands clenched into fists.

"Hey! Stop scaring her." Dad said, shielding her from him.

"But she kissed a guy." Will said, frowning at her.

"Am I in trouble?" Angel asked, pouting at Dad, immediately melting him.

"Yes you are." Luciano said. "You're not supposed to kiss boys."

"But we got married. Dad kisses Dada all the time." She whined, before putting up one finger and counting. "Uncle Ellie kissed Auntie Anna and Evvie kissed Zack."

I just focused on not laughing. Elonzo will kill me if I do.

"You don't get married like that." Leo said, softly, trying to hide his anger.

"You have to be big to be married. Atleast twenty." Dad said, kissing her head.

"So we're not married?" She asked, looking up at Dad. He shook his head.

"Can we get married when I get big?" She asked.

"No!" Most of the boys snapped. She just stared at them in confusion, before getting distracted by Dad feeding her.

Oh yeah. Dad spoils them almost as much as Grandpa spoils me.

"How was the kiss though?"

I stood up from my chair and stumbled back towards the door when Elonzo stood up from his chair glaring at me.

"Just an innocent question." I raised my hands in surrender. A smirk made its way to my lips.

"One more word and you will regret it." He warned, to which I smiled sweetly.

I sat down again, smirking victoriously, trying my best to ignore the warning glances being thrown my way.

"It was great-"

"You're grounded." Marco cut her off.

"But- but that's so unfair." She whined, pouting at Dad.

"Don't worry, princess. You're not grounded. I have more power than your Dad." Dad glared at Marco at the end. Marco just scowled, fed up with the favoritism.

I just focused on not laughing. These girls need a lot of attention, because they're always up to something. It's not that hard, considering we have a big family and they can always find someone unemployed and basically useless to keep them company.

I love this. It has been crazy since Marco adopted the kids. The good crazy. It has been more chaotic and I love it.
