There had been no way that Rafa would have had any intention of putting up the tree up while Diego had been away at school. Since Dash agreed, he had waited patiently-impatiently until the day arrived when they brought their son back home. During the course of his wait, Rafa had elicited the husband’s help in decorating the rest of their home with colourful tinsel, streamers and festive ornaments.

At present, however? His heart was full watching the tree stake shape and more importantly, watching Diego have a grand time being hard at work. “It’s looking excellent so far, Di.” Rafa patted Diego on the head and grinned in Dash’s direction. “Your daddy and I can continue anytime you think you need to take a break.” Rafa fished a bright red streamer out of one of the boxes that held the decorations before casually beginning to wrap it around Diego’s shoulder. “There’s also the cake that Viano’s parents brought over that you should absolutely dig into before he eats it all.” At this point, a playful smirk was tossed at Dash. “Okay, it looks as though this house isn’t the only festive thing here. He looks even more adorable, doesn’t he, babe?”

Diego was so happy to be back home. He missed his papa and daddy so much, especially when his birthday happened during the school year, a week before he could go home for the holidays. He was now twelve years old, yet he didn't feel a day over nine.

"Thanks, Papa!" Diego beamed up Papa Rafa. Take a break? No way! "Not until I get to put the star on though!" He insisted before he got himself a new scarf, the material tickled him into laughing. But, Vi's parents had it covered as he got home to see the most delicious-looking cake!

"Okay, Papa. But first, let me put the star on please." Making grabby hands before he went to climb up on Papa's shoulders.


"Absolutely adorable." Dash said, with the usual twinkle in his eyes as he could feel the tears threatening to pour. Everything was just so perfect, the three of them home together. Chuckling, "There's no rush, Diego. You have plenty of time before Papa and I steal your cake." Moving over to tickle Diego before helping him get onto Rafa's shoulders.

"Okay, hang on tight.. that's it. Now, don't let our baby fall, Rafie." Dash leaned to give Rafa a quick peck on his cheek before passing the star. "All set?" Dash asked, before realizing this was definitely a camera moment, which he just so happen to have by the table. Picking it up before getting ready to snap pictures.

Diego was twelve? Nah, Rafael refused to believe that his baby was growing up and would be a teenager next year. A TEENAGER!!! The thought filled him with dread. Would Di be one of those angsty, dramatic teens who hated their parents? Merlin, he hoped not! He would die if that happened. The man was offered some reassurance that this just may not be the case as his gaze settled on that adorable beam. No, there was no chance of sweet Diego turning into what Rafa feared.

The owlkeeper caught that look on Dash’s face and knew the hubby was finding this moment particularly cute and heartwarming because of the misty gaze. “The most adorable,’’ he agreed. “We won’t steal all, I promise.” Rafa threw a small smirk at Dash as he lowered himself to the ground so Diego could hop onto his shoulders. If Di wanted to put the star on the tree, then he would; Dash and Rafa would help until he grew tall enough to do it himself. Once Di had climbed on, Rafa hung onto his legs for Di's security then carefully stood up. He didn’t find Diego heavy at all even though the growing little guy had a healthy appetite, especially when it came to macaroni & cheese and cake.

Rafa chuckled. “I won’t. Our baby is in safe hands.’’ On the slim chance that he did fall, Dash would catch him. While Rafa couldn’t return the kiss just then, there would be plenty of time for him to soon. Dash had better brace himself for that! With the star handed over, he moved closer to the tree so that Diego could easily reach the top.

Diego felt soo good to be back home again. The rest of the summer was his oyster as they had big plans ahead, but for now he wanted to take a nice nap after the long journey home from Hogwarts. So after his trunk was brought in he quickly changed and hopped into... well, more like flopped onto his bed, hugging Baba, his stuffed raccoon.

Sleepy... sleepy..

[FearlessLeader19]

Rafa had carried Diego’s trunk to his room and afterwards, had given him a moment to change. He could not contain his happiness at having his son back home, and one way he displayed this was by grabbing Dash by the waist and spinning around the living room with him. Then there was the family trip on the horizon for the three of them… Rafael thought that this just might be one of the best summers yet!

“He’s taking an awfully long time to join us, isn’t he?” he said to Dash after quite a few minutes had ticked by. “I’m going to go check on him. And I’m taking his surprise.” Grinning, he kissed his husband on the lips. “Tag along with me, babe?” With that, Rafael grabbed the baby raccoon plushie he had picked up recently.

Thrice he knocked on the door to Di’s room but when there was no response, he gently pushed the door open and was greeted by the most precious sight: his little human fast asleep while hugging Baba. The older Melo-Dreamer would have melted if it were physically possible, but he did melt inwardly. How had he and Dash managed to adopt the most adorable son ever?!

He tiptoed towards Diego’s bed, or as best as he could without making much noise given his muscular frame. Carefully, and doing his best not to wake Di, Rafa took up space on one side of the bed. He placed the baby raccoon next to Baba then slipped an arm around Di’s middle.

Cuddle fest, anyone?
