"You ready to talk to them?" Phoebe asked when Antonio came down for breakfast the next morning. Neither of them wanted to come the kids so Antonio stayed the night instead of taking them home.

Antonio sighed, sitting down on the breakfast isle, "Not really but I know I need to have this conversation with them. They shouldn't have to put up with all the shit they've seen. I love them too much for that. It's not fair to them."

"I agree. I know the conversation isn't going to be easy but I know you and I know you love these kids. As someone that was raised by her father alone, the one thing I treasured more than anything is the time we spent together. I know your job isn't easy, they know that too but they love you and want to spend more time with you. No matter what happens, no matter what happens between you and Laura, these kids are always going to love you. Remember that." Phoebe as she finished breakfast. Antonio didn't have time to reply as the kids came down.

"Morning." They spoke in unison as they sat down next to their father on the breakfast isle.

Phoebe put a plate in front of them both, "Morning to you too. Eat, you both need it. I called your school and got you excused for the day."

"Why?" Diego spoke with his mouthful. Eva rolled her eyes before hitting him on the back of his head, "Don't speak with your mouthful."

"I have something I would like to talk to you both about." Antonio spoke after a moment of silence as the kids ate. Phoebe held his hand as he worked up the courage to start the conversation. "I want you guys to live with me." Antonio declared.

The kids both looked at him in silence, processing the information they just received. They weren't sure how to react and they had no idea why he would be saying it now.

"Why?" Eva softly asked.

Antonio sighed as he looked at his children, "I am so sorry. I'm sorry I haven't been here for you both. I know I haven't been the best father, especially through this divorce with your mother. But you have both made me realise the importance of family and sticking together no matter what. Whatever has happened between me and your mother shouldn't have effected either of you. After yesterday, it made me realise I haven't been there for you guys like I should have and I want that to change. I would like to file for full custody of you both."

"Are you sure?" Diego asked wide eyed. They were both in shock but they loved their father. Recently, living with their mother has been a battle, a battle to get through each day.

Antonio nodded, "If it's okay with you guys?" Neither child answers as they both got up to hug their father, tightly and Antonio knew his answer. They were going to be okay, as a family.

"What do you both want for dinner?"

"Can we have lasagna?" Eva asked. Antonio had to go back to work as he had to testify on a case. He had explained to the kids what he was doing and they had taken it quite well. They were glad he was finally sharing that part of his life with them.

Phoebe nodded as she pressed a kiss to her head, "Of course, hunny." She left them to do their homework, getting out the ingredients that she needed for dinner. Suddenly, the doorbell went off. Phoebe washed her hands before walking over to open the door.

"Adam?"
