Page 58 of Two Daddies for Little Jenna

I rolled my eyes. "Sorry, Daddy. Sorry, Michael."

We abandoned play and turned around to pay attention to the string of piping hot dishes being brought out. The list didn't seem to end as they kept bringing them out.

"Wow." Michael licked his lips. "It smells great in here. We should get together more often if it means us Littles get to enjoy a buffet after a tiring day of play."

The ten of us sat at the dining table. I looked from one end to the other. The Littles sat in highchairs with bibs around their necks. Elijah was vegan so there were more veggie-filled dishes than I was comfortable with. The sight of veggies always made me squirm in my seat. You never knew when Daddies would turn adamant about finishing them. But thankfully I could skip them all because my Daddies were in a good mood.

I smacked my lips together when we finished dessert. Everything was so tasty Michael had barely come up to breathe.

Uncle John smacked his hand away when he went for a third serving of dessert. "There'll be plenty of leftovers, Michael. You can have them tomorrow. You don't sleep too good when you overeat."

Michael groaned but he knew his Daddy was right. We had plans to stay up all night and play when our Daddies went to bed.

"Can we help you with the dishes, Daddy?" I asked. "You slaved all evening so us Littles could feast. It's only fair we lend you a hand now."

Michael let out a small burp when Nick nodded. "And then we can play Genshin Impact on the PlayStation together. Only together can we defeat the evil Queen of Inazuma."

"I'll be the mage," I said. "You fight with a claymore and Elijah will be the Archer. Kristen can fight with a sword since she likes to stab people in the back when you're least expecting it."

"Jenna," Daddy Clark warned in the sternest Daddy voice I'd heard. "Behave or else."

Kristen shook her head. "As if I'd play a video game. They're for babies. I'd much rather watch a movie or read a book instead."

I scoffed. "I saw you watching gameplay videos on your phone. You're such a poser, Kristen."

"Jenna," Daddy Nick scolded, slamming a hand on the table. "Listen to your Daddy and behave. Do you want us to cancel videogame time? Another word out of your mouth and we'll bust your bottom. Or worse, we'll have to soap your mouth out."

Nick looked so mad at me and I'd never seen him like this. Tears rimmed my eyes and my lower lip wobbled.

I stuck my lower lip out in a pout. "But she started it, Daddy! She's the one who colored my hair green."

"Aw, darling." Daddy Nick pushed his chair back and rushed to my side to give me a hug. "I can't even be mad at you without feeling bad, can I?"

Daddy Clark wasn't far behind when I looked up to see him stroking my pigtails. "It wasn't like your Daddy was really going to wash your mouth out with soap."

"Yeah, I wasn't going to do it," Nick confessed. "But no more enmity or calling your friends names, okay?"

Soon we scampered back and forth from the table to the kitchen sink, carrying all the dirty dishes while our Daddies were lost in some deep conversation. We started cleaning the dishes without them and when Michael began singing one of Daddy Nick's famous lullabies, Elijah and I joined in. Daddies must've heard us for they rushed into the kitchen and joined the sing-along, helping us as we did most of the work. It felt like we were in one big musical. Michael was shaking his butt in the air to the tune, dancing as he carried the clean dishes and handing them to his Daddy. Halfway through he took my hands and we were full-on waltzing around the kitchen.

"That's a great idea." Michael stopped in his tracks and let me go. "Why don't we all slow dance to the music for some time? You never really got to go to a dance before. Besides, you never know when our schedules align for us to hang out like this again."

It was a great idea, but I didn't know how to dance. All of us moved to the living room when we were done cleaning up. Michael put on a slow romantic song from the forties,I'll be seeing youby Billie Holiday. He seemed to know the lyrics by heart for he lip-synched to the tune.

When the lights were turned off and Michael switched on soft disco lights in the dark, everyone started dancing with their Daddies. I stood there not knowing what to do.

"I'm so embarrassed," I whispered. "I've never really danced before."

"We'll teach you, darling." Daddy Nick offered me his hand in the dark and Daddy Clark followed.

They both looked so handsome even with barely any lighting. They had eyes only for me and even if there were ten of us, the moment I took their hands it was just the three of us in the room. The song was so beautiful and so was the perfectness of the moment. My Daddies practically enveloped me with their bodies as they swayed side to side. We had our arms around each other and I wasn't even sure which one belonged to whom.

When it was time to play video games, our Daddies all sat behind us and cheered. We lost hope each time we lost, but after half an hour of drinking magical potions, Elijah managed to not die within the first five minutes, which lead to us surviving thanks to the shield and heals he provided. We finally defeated the evil Queen together and there were claps and whistles all around when I delivered the final blow with a powerful fire spell.

Kristen stuck to her word and read a book in the meantime. It must suck sitting out video games just so she'd look cool.

Our Daddies then kissed us goodnight. All the Littles slept together in Michael's nursery. It was going to be one hell of a sleepover.
