Gabriel's eyes widened when he heard what his Daddy just said. The expression on his face was confused, as if processing the words.
Can he be a good older brother?
"Of course, Daddy!" said Gabriel excitedly. "I will be better than Rapa!" he continued with a big smile on his face.
Michael smiled at that answer, while Raphael just snorted. The expression on the boy's face was as if to say just try it if you can!
"But I'm a little brother, Daddy. Does that mean Rapa will be my little brother?" asked Gabriel who seemed excited by the idea. His little brain started to think about what he should do if he were to be the older brother,
Hmmm…. maybe first he should tell Rapa to stop forbidding him if he wants to eat sweets.
Ah! Or maybe ask Rapa to give him the ice cream he still has.
Older brother can do that, right?
"Noo!" shouted Raphael resolutely, against that thought. "I'm a older brother! Riel is not my older brother!" he said with disapproving eyes, like a dog ready to bite anyone who would approach him.
Gabriel swallowed his saliva when he saw his brother's face. Even though they were only two minutes apart, his older brother had a scary face.
"Okay! Okay! Rapa won't be Riel's little brother!" said Michael trying to mediate before they got into a fight.
"Then how can I be an older brother, Daddy?" asked Gabriel in bewilderment.
After hearing his father's question. He suddenly became interested in being an older brother.
"Does Gabriel want to have a younger sibling?" asked Michael, trying to find out if his son was happy he had a little brother. "Maybe little sister?" he continued with a smile.
Gabriel seemed to think when he heard that. "Siena?" Gabriel asked with a big smile on his face. His eyes shone as he said that.
If he was Sienna's big brother… Wouldn't that be fun? Sienna is very adorable, it must be fun if he has a little sister like Sienna.
Meanwhile Raphael was silent when he heard that. His little brain was trying to process what his Daddy just said.
Having Sienna as his little sister wasn't that bad. Even though he didn't know what the little girl was saying, he was happy to be with the little girl. What was clear, unlike Gabriel, Sienna didn't seem to bother him too much.
"Is my little sister Sienna, Daddy?" Gabriel asked excitedly. He couldn't even hide his teeth because his smile was too wide.
"Ah no! It's not like that," Michael said, smiling apologetically.
The smiles on the faces of the two kids immediately disappeared when they heard that.
"Even though Sienna is younger than you guys, and could be your little sister. Sienna is not your sibling. Do you know what that means?" asked Michael again, trying to find words his kids could understand, but in the end he decided to say the terms.
The two of them seemed speechless at that, trying to figure out if they had heard the word before.
Gabriel shook his head first, then followed by Raphael who also didn't understand what siblings were.
"Siblings are brothers or sisters who have the same Daddy and Mommy. Do Riel and Rapa have the same Daddy and Mommy?" Michael asked with a smile.
They both nodded at that.
"Yes, my Daddy is Riel's Daddy, and my Mommy is also Riel's Mommy!" Raphael explained.
"Then what about Sienna? Do you guys have the same Daddy and Mommy as Sienna?" Michael asked again, trying to get his son to think.
They both shook their heads when they heard that.
"Sienna's Mommy is Aunt Anna, and her Daddy is Uncle Steve." This time, it was Gabriel's turn to explain.
"Well, you two are very smart. That's why Sienna can be your little sister, but not your real sister," said Michael with a proud smile on his face because his kids are very smart.
He had read an article that said that a child's intelligence came from their mother and Michael was very grateful that the mother of his kids was Sarah.
The woman is a d*mn surgeon.
He was really lucky to have kids from that woman.
"Then how can I have a younger sibling, Daddy?" asked Gabriel curiously.
"Daddy, does that mean if we have siblings they will live with us?" asked Raphael who was also curious.
Michael smiled at his curious kids.
"Yes, they will live with us if you have siblings." Michael looked at Raphael as he said that, then looked at Gabriel to answer the question.
"As for how you can have it… Hmmm…" Michael's brain was trying to figure out how to tell his kids how a baby could be born.
He couldn't possibly say he had to have sex with their Mommy, or talk about sperm and egg cells because the kids were too young to know that.
"Ah! You have to let Daddy and Mommy sleep together. We're going to make you a baby sibling," Michael replied, trying to look as serious as possible even though he wanted to laugh so badly right now.
What did he just say? Making them a baby sibling? That's absolutely ridiculous! However, because of his innocent kids. He had to say something like that.
"Really? Are you sure Daddy?" asked Raphael, staring intently at his Daddy. "Daddy doesn't want to sleep alone with Mommy, right?" he continued, who did not trust his Daddy at all.
Was his Daddy trying to lie to him? He wouldn't be fooled like that!
Twice he had seen that his Daddy always wanted to sleep near his Mommy. So maybe his Daddy is trying to lie to him!
"That's right! Daddy's not lying! You can ask Mommy about it later!" said Michael seriously.
He really couldn't believe his son would look at him with a look like he was an unbelievable liar.
"How do Daddy and Mommy make a baby?" asked Gabriel curiously. "Can I see it?" he continued.
His Daddy and Mommy wanted to make him a little sibling. Isn't that impressive? He had to see how they made it.
"Not!" cut Michael quickly. He was a little flustered about the question.
"I mean Raphael and Gabriel can't see it. It won't happen if you see how it's made," said Michael trying his best to choose the words his kids would understand.
It seems that this will become easier if the kids have learned about reproduction. However, he did not have that long to have a third kid because of Sarah's age.
"Why?" both asked at the same time.
Why can't they see it?
"You just can't! By the way, do you two want to have a sister?" asked Michael, trying to change the subject.
"Yes. Having a little sister seems like fun," replied Raphael nodding his head.
"Yeah, I don't mind if it's a girl or a boy, Daddy! I just want a sibling so that I can become an older brother!" answered Gabriel excitedly. He can't wait to be an older brother!
Michael smiled inwardly when he heard the answers of his kids. His plan to use his kids turned out to be successful!
He did feel a little guilty for having to use his kids like this, but it couldn't be helped. Sarah would probably have turned it down if he had discussed first that he wanted to have another kid.
If it was the kids who said they wanted a little sister, Sarah would probably consider it, right?
"In that case. Daddy needs your help. Tonight.…"
Michael then began to say the mission of the two kids.
***
Like the previous nights, after dinner Sarah took the dirty dishes and immediately washed them because she didn't want to when she was going to make breakfast the next day, the kitchen was still dirty with unwashed dishes.
While washing the dishes, Sarah's forehead creased as she couldn't hear the kids's voices at all. It's almost impossible to find in a home that has two very active sons.
"Are they making trouble?" Sarah thought and looked back to see what the kids were doing.
Sarah breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her babies were approaching Michael who looked busy in front of his laptop. It seemed the kids wanted to ask Michael to play with them.
Sarah's lips immediately smiled at that and decided to turn around again, finishing what she was doing.
As soon as she turned around after she finished washing the dishes, Sarah's brow furrowed when she saw her kids sitting at the dinner table with a serious expression on their face.
"What are you doing?" Sarah asked, approaching the two kids.
"We will have another family meeting," Gabriel said with a serious look on his face.
"Okay. Aren't you going to call Daddy?" asked Sarah who immediately took her place in front of Gabriel.
"Not! Daddy said…"
"Daddy is busy!" cut off Raphael quickly, then looked at his little brother in annoyance because it didn't match the training his Daddy told him to do.
He wanted the one to say it, but he never got it right!
"Ah! Yes! Daddy's busy, Mommy! So we're just going to have a meeting with Mommy!"
Sarah tried to suppress her smile, then turned to look at Michael who was looking at his laptop screen, but Sarah knew that the man was trying to hear their conversation.
"So… what are we going to discuss at the family meeting this time?" Sarah asked with a smile on her face.
"We want a sister!" answered the two kids at the same time.
