“Matty’s fathers,” Aleks whispered to un “And Tate”

“Hi,” Tate said as he reached out to shake hn”

“I am,” I said I shook his hand, then Hawke’s, then looked at the three boys ere all watching me with curiosity

“You’ve got lots of hair on your face,” the boy in the middle said He was as tall as Matty but had black hair, whereas Matty’s was brown

“And you have no pants,” I said “You must be Leo”

The kid looked down at his underwear that had soet here fast because Pop-pop said Aleks was hungry,” Leo said as he eyed me like his comment should make perfect sense to me

I chuckled and said, “Got it” I looked at Matty “So, you’re Matty That must make you” – I looked at the ser than the other boys – “Jamie”

Jamie nodded but remained silent

“Guys, this is Vaughn,” Aleks said

“Is he your boyfriend?” Matty asked

“No—” Dante said

“Yes—” I responded at the sa to look at Dante

“Matty,” Magnus called “Guess what Ma and I are doing today”

Leo suddenly whispered so the bathrooain?”

Aleks, Hawke, Tate, and I all burst into laughter as we looked at the two men on the other side of the kitchen island

Magnus looked at a flushed-looking Dante “I guess our secret’s out, babe”

“Jesus,” Dante muttered, then he went around the island and knelt down in front of Matty and his little friends “No, your Pop-pop and I are getting married”

“Can we throw your flowers?” Leo asked excitedly

“Oh, well, we don’t actually have any flowers,” Dante said as he looked around the room

“We can use this, Ma,” Matty said as he grabbed the box of cereal

“Sounds like a plan,” Magnus said “But Leo, buddy, you’re gonna need to wear pants for the wedding Isn’t that your dads’ rule?”

Leo’s face fell, but Matty grabbed his arot my Captain America pajamas here!” he exclaimed and then all three boys were off like a shot
