Chosen by Fate, Rejected by the Alpha

  Trinity planned something almost as special for me on Father's Day as I did for her on Mother's Day. Only she had the food brought to me in bed. There were no other fathers in the house aside from Peter, and he didn't like to celebrate for himself anymore.

Mom had suggested that we go out for a little bit without the babies to celebrate. We were going to catch a movie, go to lunch, maybe do some shopping. It felt nice just thinking about going out.

While I was eating my breakfast in bed, Trinity was sitting on the couch watching Reagan and Rika play. I think Reagan kept looking at me eating and reaching while making a hungry face.

"No Reagan, you can't have Daddy's food." Trinity pulled him back from where he had crawled to. 

When my Little Bunny turned and grabbed some clothes from a nearby drawer, the strangest thing happened. A piece of my bacon from my plate rose into the air and flew straight to Reagan's outstretched hand.

Reagan promptly stuck the food into his mouth and started to gnaw at it with his four little baby teeth.

"Reagan?" I gasped in shock causing Trinity to turn around and stare at me in shock.

"Reece, he's too young for bacon." She scolded me and ran to the boy where she started to pry the food from his tiny little hand.

"I didn't give it to him, he took it."

"Right, what did he do, fly up there to take it?" She laughed at me.

"No, he flew it to him. His magic is getting stronger."

"What?" She stopped what she was doing and stared at me.

Reagan took advantage of her distraction and shoved the bacon back into his greedy little mouth.

"H..h..he really made it f..f...f...fly to him?"

"Yes." I nodded my head and looked at our boy. "He's definitely powerful, just like his mommy." I was smiling, grinning happily that my son was so strong.

"Yeah, but he can hurt himself with magic. I think we need to call Crawford and ask him what we should do about this." Crawford was the leader of the Aerie Convento, and the highest authority in the warlock and witch community next to Trinity. If anyone knew what to do about this he would.

After I ate, I showered first, then I watched the twins so that my Little Bunny could shower. I was having my daily dose of daddy bonding time with them, and they were crawling around their room and playing.

Reagan and Rika were currently about five feet apart when they stopped and looked at each other. They sat on their bottoms and started to babble and make sounds. They hadn't actually talked before so I wasn't expecting much from this little exchange of theirs. It was like they were talking to each other and having a real conversation.

I was just smiling and watching them when I heard it.

"M..m..mmm..mm...mama." Rika's babbling turned into her first word, and I just about lost it. I didn't make a sound though, I didn't want to stop them from 'talking' to each other. I did, however, grab my phone and start recording it.

"M..mm..ma...m..m..mama." Reagan babbled similarly, but just a little different. That was just the beginning of it all.

"M..mm..mama."

"Ma..mammm..mama."

"Mama, mama." Rika was getting more confident in her word and saying it easier now.

"Mma..ma..mama, mama." Reagan babbled a little more, but said the name twice as well. Next they started saying it at the same time.

"Mama, mama, mama."

"Mama, mama, mama."

My heart was literally melting. I couldn't believe they did this for the first time when Trinity wasn't in the room.

"Why did you guys do this without mommy here?" I laughed as I watched them. "Also, it's Father's Day, you need to say dada. Come on, say dada." I was trying to entice them to say my name instead as I sat there on the floor next to them.

They looked at me and giggled almost at the exact same time which was so cute. Almost as if on some sort of command, they came at me at the same time. They crawled and then pulled themselves into a standing position using my legs. They were attacking me with their cuteness.

"Come on, say dada."

"D..d..d..d." Rika started it, and Reagan followed.

"Dd..d..d.dd."

"That's it, say dada." I was still filming them.

"D..d..d..mama."

"D..d..d..mama." At exactly the same time they twin synced and psyched me out.

"That was mean." I set my phone aside and tickled them as I picked them up. Their giggles were full of love, cuteness, and baby evilness.

"What's going on in here?" My Little Bunny came back all cleaned and refreshed while I had Reagan and Rika piled on my chest and tickling them.

"Trinity, you need to see this." I called her over as I sat up. She took Reagan and sat next to me while I sat Rika on my knees.

The moment that she saw the video she started to cry.

"I missed it. I missed their first word."

"I recorded it for you, you didn't miss it."

Having sense that Mommy was sad Rika leaned over, and Reagan reached up.

"Mama?"

"M..Mama?" They didn't like that Mommy was sad.

"My babies." She hugged them both to her and sobbed. "You're getting so big."

It was hard to get her to leave the babies after that, but they said mama several more times, and she seemed to be happy with that. Finally, we went on another date. We did everything that was planned, but the shopping was mostly for the babies instead of us. They truly were all we thought about. That was fine, it just proved that we were loving parents.
