《Why are we running, daddy?》the five year old asked exhausted, trying to follow the tall guy closely.
《We're going to surprise mummy, is Buddy following us?》Matt stopped running for a second and glanced down at his mini-me.
《He's right behind us, daddy》the tiny boy pointed at the golden retriever running towards them.
《You remember the plan, smartpants?》
《Who do you think I am, daddy?》the boy moved his tiny arms frantically,《Of course I remember the plan!》
Matt kneeled down, stopping at the same height as the five year old, and caressed his raven hair gently. His son's hazel eyes lit up as a shy little smile made its way to his rosy lips. --《What, daddy?》the little boy giggled.
《You remind me of myself when I was a little boy, you know that?》
《Yeah》the child sighed exhausted,《Papa won't stop saying that either!》
《Okay, let's go》Matt laughed and shook his head, grabbing his oldest son's tiny hand in his.

Olive was changing a poopie diaper when she heard footsteps approaching. She picked up the one year old, who giggled wiggling his tiny arms around and bit his pacifier with a goofy face.
《Masie, stop that》the girl laughed as she tried to lecture her youngest son.《Mason!》
《How's daddy's little boy?》Matt appeared from behind them and blew a soft kiss on his wife's cheek and one on the baby's tiny head. --《Elliott and I have a surprise for you, mommy》
《You do?》Olive smiled widely, her heart full.
《Please don't cry》Matt whispered softly into her ear as he faced her and locked his lips with hers, kissing her slowly.
《Oh no》she laughed.《I'm so gonna cry》
Elliott jumped from behind a tree, a bow in his hands, Alec's neck rune on his tiny neck. He slid an arrow from his quiver and aimed it towards the target set on the other part of the backyard. --《Mama, watch this! I'm Alec Lightwood!》
Olive's heart stopped for a second, and she didn't even notice she was tearing up. Her son, Matt's mini-me, literally looked like a baby Alec. And the neck rune looked just perfect on him, along with his hazel eyes, raven hair, and grumpy behavior.
《That's why we named him Elliott Archer, babe》Matt softly laughed.
《Mommy, look!》the five year old released the arrow and hit the bullseye, right in the middle.
Matt and Olive gasped loudly, both surprised and excited for their son apparently being an unexpected prodigy at archery.
《Great job, buddy!》Matt rushed to the five year old and raised him up, hugging him tightly.
《Mommy, did you see? Did you see that?》Elliott jumped excitedly towards Olive, who carried Mason on the grass and hugged her oldest child.
《You were incredible, sweetie!》
《Daddy taught me!》the boy squealed and jumped excitedly, covering his lips with his tiny hands as he kept giggling happily.
《I'm so proud of you, my sweet archer boy》Matt warmly smiled, blowing a bunch of kisses on the boy's cheeks, making him even more giggly.

Harry carried his six year old, Xia, in his arms towards the inflatable swimming pool by our backyard. The weather was sunny and warm, summer was finally approaching.
《Elliott!》the little asian girl yelled excitedly as she jumped down from her dad and rushed towards the five year old, hugging him tight and raising him up a little from the ground. --《I brought water balloons!》
《Mommy! Daddy! Uncle Harry is here! And Xia brought water balloons!》the sweet boy impatiently ran inside and hugged Matt's long leg.
《Hey, koala-bear, what's up?》the tall man softly laughed.
《Uncle Harry and Xia are here, daddy》he smiled widely,《Can we have water balloons' fight?》
《Actually.. mommy, I, and uncle Harry have a surprise for you》
The little boy stopped jumping for a second and loosened the grip on his dad's leg. He glanced up thoughtful and confused. --《For me?》
《Yes, bubba, for you》
Elliott tilt his head to the side and turned around, noticing Xia with a stuffed dinosaur in her hands.《This is for you, Elliott》
《Is it my birthday?》the boy asked confused.
《No, sweet thing, but we have tickets for..》Harry spoke in the child's direction and faked a drum roll on the wooden table.《Universal Studios!》
The five year old gasped loudly and covered his lips with both his tiny hands. --《Blue? Mommy?》
《Yes, baby》Olive smiled warmly,《We'll go see some Dinosaurs!》
《Ahhhh!》Elliott jumped excitedly and rushed to Harry.《Thank you uncle Harry and Xia》he hugged Olive's parabatai and walked back to his parents. --《Thank you mommy and daddy》
.
Matt placed his parabatri blue cap on his oldest son's head, backwards. He then grabbed his tiny hand and carried him at the entrance of the amusement park. Behind them, Olive was pushing a navy blue stroller with a happy giggling Mason waving at literally everyone.
《Why is Elliott dressed up as Alec?》Harry laughed as he followed his parabatai closely.
《A beautiful surprise》Olive smiled warmly,《And he apparently is great at archery》
《That's adorable》the asian boy chuckled.《Xia is great at dancing. Guess we got lucky, huh》
Olive eyed her husband, Matt, raising Elliott up and make him sit on his shoulders. Little Mason was happily giggling in the stroller, Xia making goofy faces at him. --《We really did》
