The next morning William and the boys stayed for breakfast on Michael's insistence and just before they left William made a suggestion.
W: Why don't me, you and the boys go to the park later on and have a picnic or something unless you're doing something else.
Mi: No, that sounds like a good idea.
W: Okay, I'll call you a little later then.
Mi: I'll be waiting for your phone call.
W: Boys let's go, say goodbye now.
C: Bye Aunt Olivia, bye Uncle Michael, bye bye Jakey.
M: Bye bye everyone.
W: Thank you for everything Olivia, I really appreciated it.
O: No problem, it was a joy having them here.
W: Do you want to join us later on for a picnic at the park?
O: I would love to but my Husband is arriving in an hour and I need to go pick him up.
W: Oh, okay then see you again.
O: Yeah, see you.
Mi: I'll be waiting for my phone call.
W: I'll call you in an hour or so, bye.
Mi: Bye. (He smiled closing the door)
O: Is there something that I need to know?
Mi: About?
O: William and you?
Mi: What about us?
O: Is there something going on between you two?
Mi: Wha... no!
O: I wouldn't mind if there was something, there's nothing wrong with it.
Mi: There's nothing going on Olivia. We're just friends and we both have kids.
O: If he makes you happy then there shouldn't be a problem, Mickey.
Mi: We're just friends 'Liv, now I need to go get Jake and leave because we have plans later.
O: Okay, enjoy yourself. (She smiled knowingly)
Mi: You too.
William's POV
C: Daddy, what are we doing today?
W: Uh, you're going to do all your homework. (He smiled)
C: I already did it yesterday.
W: Well then, you're going to have to stay in your room the whole day.
M: No daddy.
C: It's Saturday. (They complained)
W: I'm kidding, the three of us are going to have a picnic in the park with Michael and Jake in the afternoon.
M: Yay!
C: Yes!
W: So what do you want to do now?
M: Can we watch a movie?
W: Sure, I'll quickly go make us some popcorn and you two can choose a movie.
C: But we'll first go and get our blankets, right Matty?
M: Yup.
W: Okay, I'll be in the kitchen.
M: I'll race you.
W: No running up the stairs, I don't want either of you getting hurt.
M: Okay, daddy.
William smiled knowing that they'd run the second they got to the top of the stairs, which they did. William texted Michael and told him that they can meet at the park that's right in between where both of them live at two o'clock and Michael agreed. They then started texting each other about what they were doing until the boys called from the living room saying that they were ready and only waiting for him. William quickly said goodbye to Michael before going to the living room with two bowls of popcorn, a large one for the boys and a small one for him. They ended up watching Toy Story. Again.
=Park Time=
William and the boys arrived just as Michael and Jake were pulling up so they walked towards their car.
W: Hi. (He smiled)
Mi: Hi. Have you chosen a spot yet?
W: No, I was thinking that we leave that up to the boys.
Mi: Sure. Boys can you go choose a nice spot where we can sit down but not in the sand okay.
W: And we should be able to see you if you go play.
Kids: Okay. (Connor and Jake each took a hold of one of Mathew's hands and they walked into the park searching)
Mi: Wow, they've really grown close over such a short amount of time.
W: Yes, it's always easy when you're younger.
Mi: Hey, we've grown close pretty quick too haven't we?
W: Yes we have. (He said smiling at Michael)
They only tore their eyes away from each other when they heard the boys shouting that they found the perfect spot. Both men laughed nervously before picking up the basket and coolboxes full of food plus the blankets from the ground before going to look for their boys.
W: This is a good spot boys.
C: Thank you.
M: Can we go play now?
Mi: I was thinking that you boys could help us set everything up.
J: No it's okay, we'll go play.
Mi: Really?
J: Yup. Let's go. (He said as he and Connor took Mathew's hands again)
W: Be careful guys.
Mi: We will daddy. (He said and they walked off)
W: It's okay, we'll go play. (He mocked)
Mi: I know right, these children.
W: Yeah, I guess it's all up to us now. (He laughed)
They started setting everything up before sitting down on the blanket, watching the boys.
Mi: So what did you guys do this morning?
W: Cuddled on the couch, ate popcorn and watch Toy Story. Again!
M: Oh poor you.
W: Shut up. It isn't a bad movie but I can only watch it so many times before it gets annoying.
Mi: How many times have you watched it now?
W: Today was my 7th time, I don't know how they don't get tired of it.
Mi: I'm lucky because I've only watched it three times before.
W: Lucky.
Mi: Yes I am and I don't think children ever get tired of watching the same thing over and over again.
W: Toy Story might just go missing in our house then.
Mi: Sneaky.
W: But smart, admit it.
Mi: Well, I am a teacher and I tend not to lie to my students.
W: But we both know you'd do it if you had to.
Mi: I decline to answer.
W: Don't worry, you don't have to, I happen to know you very well Mr.
Mi: Oh you'd think so wouldn't you? (He said pushing William's shoulder causing him to fall back on the blanket)
W: I'll get you back. (He sat up straight and made to move to Michael but stopped when Michael called out)
Mi: Boys, come eat!
W: I know what you're doing.
Mi: What, making sure our sons are fed?
W: ...
M: We're so hungry, dad.
Mi: See. (He said with a smirk)
W: All in due time Michael, all in due time.
The boys finished eating and then went back to chasing each other around. Michael and William were layed on the blanket the entire time, talking and watching to make sure the boys were okay.
A/n: Sorry for the wait but I'm busy with my second last year of high school (grade 11) and it's also the busiest but I'll try and write more and update it Saturday mornings... Thanks
