"I can't wait to go on all the rides."

"I can't wait to win stuff."

First said Kiren followed by Kai. They are excitedly chatting away about our trip to six flags. The two climb in the back of my truck. Without any help from me or Eureka. I can clearly remember the last time, I had to lift both of them into their seats. They were six then. Not tall enough for some of the scary rides.

Kiren an Kai begged and pleaded with me and Eureka to let them go on the big kid rides. There exact words. Today though both boys have grown in height since then. They're ten and close to being taller than their mom. Kiren and Kai inherited my height and seem like they'll be as tall as me by the time they're in high-school.

Eureka loves to joke she is surrounded by trees. Even our daughter Elena is really tall for her age. She's 4 and a half now. Elena Kailani Bychkov my little princess. She looks exactly like Eureka. Same shape of the eyes, nose, and lips.

The only difference is her amber eyes that match mine. Her hair is more light brown than Eureka and the boys even. But they're curls are very similar. Elena is our youngest and she knows she's special. Her older brothers spoil her rotten if we don't pay attention.

"Kai can I have some of your candy?"

"Of course Lena. Here you go."

Elena is seated between the two in her boster seat. Detka climbs in the truck before I realize. Even after all theses years I cherish whenever I pick her up to seat in the passenger seat. Eureka turns smiling at me that familiar smile that takes my breath away. She turns around facing our children.

"Are you guys ready for our trip."

"Yes." Says Kai.

"I'm ready." Then Kiren.

"Me too." Elena after.

"Okay loves let's go."

I start the vichcle pulling out our drive way. Away to six flags we go.

>>>>>

"Do we all remember the rules?"

Eureka questions our children."

Kiren nods. He's learnt his lesson that time he wondered off in the grocery store.

We sat at a table after coming through the ticket gate. I watch Eureka conversation with our children while staring at her like she's the only woman around. She's wearing bright red shorts, green cropped long sleeved shirt and Vans sneakers. Her usual head full of curls is up in a sleek ponytail with a top not on her head. Her hair is blow dried so it stretched out

Elena is wearing a cute purple two piece pants and shirt. While her brothers have on blue jeans and an anime print t-shirts. Kiren has on a My hero Academia one while Kai has on a hunter×hunter shirt. True to our promise Detka and I made sure our children grew up watching anime.

They're even bigger fans than us. Introducing us to ones we've never heard about.

"Mom don't worry. We know." Says Kiren.

Kai nods along with him. They're ready to have fun. The two of them.

"Alright where you guys think we should first?" Detka turns asking them.

"The superman roller coaster!!"

They yell at the sma time. We all get up taking our stuff. Eureka brought a knapsack with some snacks water bottles, baby wipes and whatever else she though we might need.

"Papa can I get cotton candy?"

Elena asks. Pointing to the man carrying a stick with bags of cotton candy.

I looked down at her, seeing she already pulling out all her ammunition with her puppy dog eyes and pout. She knows I can never say no when I see this.

"Sure." I say picking her up. "Papa will gets you some."

"Kiren, Kai do you guys want cotton candy too?"

"Yes." They say at the exact same time.

"Alright we'll be back."

"Yayy. Papa's getting cotton candy."

Elena has a major sweet tooth. If we aren't careful she eats all the cookies from the cookie jar. I hold her steady as come to the man.

"How much for 4?"

"8 Dollars sir."

That's a lot for just cotton candy.

I give him a 10 dollars bill. He shifts through and returns 3 singles, then hand me three cotton bags. The last he leans down and gives to Elena.

She smiles up at the man. "Thank you. Thanks Papa."

"Your welcome princess."

She takes my hand and we head back to Eureka and the boys. I hand each of them a cotton candy bag and the last one to my wife.

"Thanks papa."

"Your welcome guys. Let's head to the first ride."

Eureka turns to me as Kiren and Kai leads the way. "You didn't have to get me one baby. Thank you. "

"I know but I don't you feeling left out. We can share it." I say taking her hand in my free hand.

Looking down I see Elena has already started nipping away at her pink cotton candy. He holds my hand hold the stick up to her face and bites at it happily. My princess is so sweet.

Today is going to be a good day.

It was. It was great day.

>>>>>

We all had a blast. Kiren and Kai had so much fun going on the rides they were allowed on. Elena, Eureka and I went on more calm rides so she can have fun. We played games. Elena was so happy when I won her a unicorn bear. She's at that stage where she's obsessed with unicorns. I played this shooting game and won detka toucan bird.

We had so much fun that by the time the day started winding down we were all ready to head home and rest. Once the children were in the back they passed out sleeping away. Eureka looks ready to sleep too.

The drive home consisted of me holding Eureka's hand while she dozed off along with our children who slept peacefully in the back. Elena clutching her unicorn "uni" as she named it very tight.

>>>>

"Papa can I help?"

Elena pleads beside me. I'd woken up early to workout in the backyard and came into start breakfast. Eureka is sleeping in. Kiren and Kai would be getting up soon. I'm surprised Elena is awake so early.

"Of course princess. You can stir this for me."

Upon my admission Elena beams with pride. She takes the bowl I gave her. Holding it close with her small arms as I pick her up. Setting her on the island. She begins stirring the pancake mix for me. I already added some water.

I pulled out the vegan breakfast sausages and sliced them up.

"Look Papa." Elena says.

I peer over to what she's showing me. Inside the bowl I see she's doing a good job.

"Good job princess."

Once I finish cutting them up I start frying them. The morning goes on with Elena helping me make breakfast. I give her tasks she can do. She helps me portion out the food and set the utensils on the table when everything is prepared.

"Wanna go wake everyone with me princess?"

"Mmm." She shakes her cute round head."

I smile down at my daughter, holding her tiny hand as we climb the stairs together. We start with kiren and Kai. Their room is beside Elena's. She let's go opening their door and running in their room. Elena jumps on Kai's bed.

"Wake up Kai! Papa and I made breakfast."

"Kiren, Kai it's time to wake up." I add.

They usually sleep in on weekends but with them having so much fun yesterday they slept in a bit later.

"Mm. Papa?"

Kiren mumbles rolling over on his back. He sits up wiping his eyes looking around his room.

"Hey kiren."

Kai starts to wake up too from Elena kissing his face.

"Hey Elena." He days sratching his hair.

"Hey Papa and I made breakfast. Come." Elena answers.

"Okay. I'm coming." Kai chides her.

We shuffle out the room.

"I'll there soom I'm going to wake your momma."

Kiren and Kai nod while yawning. Each holding one of Elena's hand going downstairs.

Our room is at end of the hall. I quietly open our room door. Finding the space dimmed as the curtains block out any light from coming in. Eureka is one her side sleeping craddling my pillow. The sheets have been kicked to the side. Showing her luscious curves in nothing but a oversized shirt and panties.

My mouth waters as I fall on her wide hips. Even years later and the sight still shakes me up. I get closer. Holding her soft cheek. Leaning in I kiss her forehead showing below her bonnet.

"Baby, it's time to wake up."

Detka whines in her sleep. Making her nose crinkle up. Her lips part and I lean in kissing her ear.

"Detka."

"Kira." She mumbles incoherently.

She finally wakes up, sits up smiling at me. I sit on the bed picking her up onto my lap. Eureka wraps her arms around me pressing her face into my neck.

"Whag time is it?"

"In the afternoon." I confirmed.

"Oh. Are the kids up?"

"Mmh. They should be eating breakfast by now."

"Okay." I pull her face back. Holding her cheeks.

"I love you detka."

"I love you. Let go eat I'm starving."

Eureka kiss me and goes to get up off my lap. But I don't allow it. I stand holding her. She wraps her legs around my waist. We arrive down stairs like this. Finding our children at the table. Like I said they were, eating laughing together about something.

"Papa isn't momma heavy?"

Elena asks curiously.

"No, Papa is very strong princess."

I sit her down first. Taking the seat beside her we go about having breakfast as a family.
