I got up the next morning same as usual and my wives were over their sleeping conditions so we spent the day together at Progress helping newcomers and helping others move to the moon for a new life. It was a fulfilling day free from stress and lots of smiles, the next day however turned out to be more eventful.
The day started great and we were at the replicator in the kitchen, I got my breakfast and sat as Lisa's comm went off. I could hear Jaden's voice and snippets of conversation when they both looked at me with a look I couldn't identify. My comm went off and it was Carly freaking out about a boy and she wants her daddy, I assured her I was on my way as soon as I can. Getting dressed with the girls in short order and then rushing to my ship we were in front of Jaden's house in 22 minutes.
As soon as the door opened I got a crying Carly in my arms "boys are stupid" was all I could make out between sobs. I carried her into the house and sat with her on my lap, she was occupying Lisa's spot but she didn't seem to mind.
"Tell me what's wrong pumpkin". This is where she went off on a rant about one boy then another bringing Lexi and Jessica into the fray of her story. When she was done it was obvious to the adults in the room, that she liked a boy and he liked another.
"You can't be mad at him cause he doesn't like you, do you know where he lives"? She looked at me shocked "I... I don't know"
"Well lets find out and I will rip the front of his house till he apologizes to my little girl" Carlys looked more shocked then she looked at the faces of the adults smirking.
"Are you fibbing me"? I smiled at her and brushed her hair out of her face. "Only partially, I've been dying to try my new power armor"
"You can't do that it's not his fault he doesn't like me its Suzys" I heard snickers from the adults.
"Should I demolish her house instead"? she scowled at me and shook her head.
She hugged me "no dad and thank you for coming"
"Anytime pumpkin" I hugged her tight to me and that seemed to appease her inner beast. She got down and got me a coffee and I swear she waited till I went to take a sip.

"Why do boys like boobs" I wore most of my coffee with most of the adults laughing at my antics.
"That's a question better suited for your mom pumpkin not me" she looked at me and cocked her head to the side
"No I'm asking as a male, mom told me what they are for but I don't get why boys look at flesh mounds instead of me" I closed my eyes and tried to figure out a way out of this conversation when Cora came to my rescue.
"That's still a mom question sweetie" Carly looked at her mom "ok" then she just got up and went to play.
I just sat there shaking my head when Lisa and Jaden came to me and placed a hand on my shoulders Lisa led off "if that is all I have to go by I'm happy with your parenting skills" then Jaden "Im jealous dad, as screwed up as you were you would have been a good father figure" she kissed my forehead "the refresher is in the bedroom shower go get cleaned up"
I did what I was told and got rid of my coffee stains to find them talking about first loves. Cora looked at me "I hate being away from you for the day I can't imagine you not coming home" she said with a tear. "my existence was nothing before I came here"
"That makes two of us" Carly yelled from the bedroom getting laughs all around.
We sat and chatted for hours getting the odd fashion show from the kids, and before we knew it lunchtime came around. We talked about Carly staying the summer .
"I love having her here dad, it's creepy she acts like you sometimes like your mannerisms" Jaden laughed.
"Well she is me" I joked back "have you got a list together for the trip"?
"Just about its just a matter of timing" she giggled "they all bitched till they found out where we are going" we all laughed at that.
"We have a new ship that can carry 50 people" she shook her head "not that many it's more like 30"
"Well Sara will be waiting for you to get there, you and your friends are VIPs and will be treated as such" she smiled at that and so did I. "make sure all your friends get a comm device as soon as they get there ok, I'm sure they will like that, It's not like we don't have extras we have millions on my ship" I laughed.
"Thank you dad I'm sure they will appreciate that" she smiled like a little girl and I was glad to see her smile.
I looked at my wives and they looked tired "are you girls ok"? they looked like we had been up for days and I got a yawn from both. "Autumn missed out on the kits influence this time but my ladies got it this time". We all got up and started the hug parade for our departure then off to the RV.
By the time I landed on the ship I practically had to carry my girls to our quarters and I started to get worried. I got them to bed and made a call to mom and she came right over.
she looked at me smiling "the babies are in a growth spurt, they will come regularly now about every 4 days. They will get hungry then sleep so you can stop worrying dad" she said with a smile.
"I was worried that it was the kits influence again" I said with a bit of relief in my voice
"No they are stumbling around like fools and should be ok by tomorrow as well as your girls, they might be groggy though"
I thanked her and got a hug before she left and I crawled between my mates and passed out.
