-William's POV-
W: So boys, is everyone ready for church! (He called from the bottom of the stairs)
C: Coming, daddy!
Just then all three boys came walking down the stairs.
W: Let me check you all out. (He said and the boys stood in a line) Everyone looks good.
J: You do too Uncle William.
W: Thank you, bud. (He smiled)
M: Are we going out for lunch later, after church, daddy?
W: No, we're going to come back here and cook together.
C: Yes!
J: That sounds fun.
M: It is.
C: Yeah, you'll see.
J: I can't wait.
W: Let's go then.
=After Church=
W: Okay boys, go change and then come back down so that we can start cooking.
Everyone went to their separate bedrooms to change and were all back in the kitchen five minutes later.
J: So what are we going to do now?
W: You are going to peel the potatoes. Connor, you're doing the carrots.
M: And me daddy?
W: You're going to help me with the salad and I'll do the meat and others, okay?
M: We first have to wash our hands.
C: Yep.
W: Okay, get on it boys.
Everyone got on with their assigned tasks in the kitchen and they were all having fun doing it. William couldn't resist taking pictures of them to send to Michael but the boys insisted on taking pictures of William to send to Michael too and he agreed. The four of them spent the next hour and a half making lunch.
W: Well done boys, thanks for the help.
J: It was really fun Uncle William, from now on I'll ask my dad if I can help him too.
M: Did you send the pictures to Uncle Michael, daddy?
W: Which pictures?
C: The one's we took. (He said as if it were the most obvious thing)
W: Oh... I didn't know that I had to send them.
M: Daddy!?
W: I'm sending it, calm down.
C: We'll go set the table so long.
W: Thanks boys.
M: You have to send them before you come eat, daddy.
W: I will, I promise.
Connor and Mathew walked while Jake stayed behind.
W: Something on your mind bud?
J: I just wanted to say thank you.
W: For what?
J: For everything, like letting me stay here and like letting me do thinks with you guys.
W: It's a pleasure, love. You're like a son to me so I do with you whatever I do with my boys. (He smiled)
J: Even punishments? (He enquired)
W: Especially punishments now go and help Connor and Matty.
J: Okay.
William smiled and then took out his phone to sent the pictures to Michael. When he finished he took the food and went to the dining room where the boys were waiting.
-Michael's POV-
Michael was in the cafeteria getting food for them and left his phone in his mother's room when the message form William came. Michael's mother picked it up and saw the pictures. She smiled looking at each and every one of the pictures. Just then Michael came into the room.
Mi: So I got a turkey sandwich for me and chicken soup for you. (He said without looking up)... Uh, what are you doing with my phone mom?
C: You got more pictures.
Mi: Oh, let me see. (He says with a smiled) They're cooking. (He says once he sees the pictures)
C: Yeah, I saw.
Mi: This is amazing mom.
C: So, is that handsome man William? (She asked suggestively)
Mi: Mom!
C: What I'm just asking and judging by your reaction, it is.
Mi: Yes, this is William.
C: I can see why you like him.
Mi: It's more than that, mom.
C: I know I'd like to meet him one day.
Mi: No, you'd scare him off with how forward you are.
C: I still want to meet him tough and those boys of his.
Mi: I'll think about it.
C: Fine but now, I think it's time that you head back to your little family... (She was cut off)
Mi: Mom, it's not my family. We're just friends with kids.
C: Don't interrupt me, go home to your family, love, I'll be fine. The doctor is discharging me tomorrow morning and my sister is coming to live with me anyways, so you don't need to worry.
Mi: Okay fine but I'm only leaving once Aunt Abigail arrives tomorrow, okay.
C: You can leave now dear.
Mi: No arguing mom, I'll leave tomorrow morning.
C: But the boys will be at school and William, probably at work by then.
Mi: I want to surprise them.
C: Okay, I forgot how stubborn you can be.
Mi: I learned from the best, didn't I?
C: Oh shut up show me more of those pictures.
Mi: Here you go.
C: But you have to admit, he is handsome right?
Mi: Mom... fine, maybe a little. (He says when he saw the look his mother was giving him)
