Apollo walked into the kitchen, he had decided that the was going to cook a nice meal for the family, Gabe, Gale, Brook, Dakota, and Dani, of course Brook, Dakota and Dani where not their kids biologically but that didn't matter, Gabriel and he thought of them as their kids, they spent more time at Apollo and Gabe's house then they did at there own because their parents where always away.

Apollo looked at the contents of the fridge and decided on some pizza's one vegetarian of course for Brook, they had learned their lesson, once they had given her meat and she had spent the next half an hour sobbing about what the animal had been through, better to stick to vegetables which didn't cause mental scaring for the poor child whenever they fed her.

He chopped up all the ingredients making sure that the meat and veggies didn't touch, once he had finished chopping all the ingredients making sure that he made Brook's pizza first before starting on the ones with meat.

Gabe walked into the kitchen, letting out a small yawn as he moved to start the kettle boiling. He need coffee if he was to deal with the kids for the rest of the night. He moved to help Apollo with dinner, placing Brook's pizza onto a tray before touching any of the others. He moved a couple more pizza's onto the trays before going to make a coffee for himself and Apollo.

Once the coffee was made, Gabe lent against the counter watching his husband. "I wounder when Po and Amphi will be back this time. It will be sad to see those kids go again. I think we all love having them around", he said, half lost in thought of how their son did love the company. Gabe also had to admit that even though it was a lot of work he did love having all the kids in his house.

Gabe sat his coffee down and moved to grab some juice and plastic cups and placed them on the table for the kids. He knew it wouldn't be long until they turned up in the room.

"I don't know, is it bad of me to not want them to come back so the kids could just stay here?" He asked with a sigh, he hated how Amphy and Po just came and went without a care in the world or about their kids. He finished the last pizza making sure everything was clean he walked over and wrapped his arms around Gabe resting his head on Gabe's shoulder. "Maybe we should ask the kids if they want to stay here like permanently we all miss them when they are gone and it's not like Amphy and Po notice if the kids are there or not, and it would give them more stability if they moved in here." He asked it was not the first time they had had this discussion but he felt that maybe it would be the last time, he really wanted Gabriel to agree to it this time, they had said they would but put it off he thinks that tonight is the right time for them to ask if they want to move in.

Gabe relaxed into his husbands embrace, wrapping his arms back around him as he placed a kiss on the side of Apollo's head. "It probably is bad of us but I want that to happen to", he replied. The only reason he had said no before now was he hadn't wanted to upset the older gods but every time they forced the kids to return to their home, had worn down his resolve. He hated seeing any of the kids sad and Apollo was right, he did always miss the three kids when they where gone. Gabe nodded slightly, "I think we should ask them", he continued simply. He was still worried about how the other gods would take it but he trusted his husband and they both wanted the happiness of all four of the kids. "my only worry is I have no idea how Po and Amphi will take the news of their kids wanting to live elsewhere." Gabe had no doubt that the kids would want to stay here.

"Well I doubt that they will be around for a long time, and by the time they do I doubt they will notice that they are gone to be honest." He tells him stroking his hair thinking it over. "As bad as it sounds it's true, that or they will think that they have aged themselves or someone else has aged them, and if they come back and ask the kids why they wanted to live here we will tell them the truth and if they don't like it well to bad they weren't her to object to it, so it's their own fault."

Gabe sighed, knowing what Apollo said was true, he was just to self conscious of his own role among the gods to want to piss off one of the greats. He knew that if Zeus really wanted to, he could be stripped of his powers and then he might lose Apollo. Deep down Gabe knew this fear was foolish, which was why he had never told Apollo about it, but it was still something that played on his mind. Gabe nodded, they would deal with the consequences of their actions later and together. "We will ask them tonight", he replied, looking at Apollo. "If Po and Amphi have a problem they can bring it to use later."

"Don't worry about it, if we get in trouble I'll take full responsibility okay? Not that I think anything will okay? Zeus usually leaves family disputes alone, and if they ask the kids they will tell them that they wanted to be here so there is no problem." He tells him kissing him softly before taking a step back and heading to the oven grabbing out the first couple of pizza's and replacing them with the ones that hadn't been cooked, before cutting them up and placing them on serving boards before calling out for the kids to come and grab dinner, before deciding that fruit salad sounded nice for dessert so he quickly whipped one up and put it into the fridge till after dinner.

Gabe kissed him back and nodded, "Okay but you are not taking full responsibility for it if something happens. I played a part in this too", he replied, before moving to the table with his and Apollo's coffee and placing them at their spots. He then poured the juice for the kids and sat the bottle near him and Apollo, where they could monitor how much the kids had and prevent spills if the kids tried to fill their own cups. Gabe didn't so much mind when it was the older kids, it was when Gale tried to copy them. Gabe knew that Gale looked up to Dakota and felt he should be able to do everything the older boy did. Gabe grabbed some plates out of the cupboard and started putting slices of pizza on them before taking them to the table for the kids.

"Okay You can take some responsibility too." He tells him pulling two of the pizza's from the oven, and placing them on two of the serving boards before putting the last two pizza's in the oven he moved back and cut the two done ones up, and placing some pizza on two plates for him and one for Gabe. He took them to the table placing them down he grabbed a bite of one of the pizza's it tasted really good, he dropped it to the plate taking a big gulp of his lukewarm coffee, to wash the pizza down he had burnt the top of his mouth he should have thought of that before taking a bite.

Gabe smiled and laughed softly at his husband, "You know Pizza is generally hot when it comes out of the oven", he teased, drinking the last of his coffee and moving back to the the kettle to make another one. "It probably a good thing the kids are taking their time or they may have done the same thing", he continued, waiting for the kettle to boil. While he waited his fingers nervously twisted with the chain around his neck. He was starting to wonder if taking on the job was a good idea when his household was about to grew. He sighed inwardly, "knowing if it did prove to be too much he could always just drop the job anyway.

"Shush you." He tells him with a grin, finishing his coffee and putting the cup next to Gabe's hoping that he would make him one too. "Yeah, it would be no good if the did, they would be miserable for the rest of the day." He says wrapping an arm around Gabe's waist. "What's got you thinking so hard love?" He asked seeing that he didn't look like his usual happy self. "Our relationship won't work if we don't communicate, I tell you most things, so come on share with me." He tells him resting his head on his shoulder.

Gabe smiled, "Just starting to wonder if the job was a good idea after all and feeling guilty about applying for it behind your back to", he replied, making the two cups of coffee. He turned when he heard foot steps out side the door and smiled back at Brook when she looked at them. He sent Apollo a look that he would explain better later and after quickly kissing him he moved to the table with his coffee taking a seat and letting his pizza cool more before trying to take a bite. He had learnt from Apollo's mistake, he smiled inwardly as he sipped at his coffee and waited for the other kids to join them.

Apollo thought over what Gabe had said, wondering what he should say. He walked over and patted Brook's head before taking a seat next to Gabe, realizing he forgot his coffee he quickly went back over and grabbed it before retaking his seat. "Does it taste good?" Apollo asked them both before taking another bite of his slice making sure it was cool enough before taking the bite, He sprang to his feet when he realized that the other pizza's where still in the oven and most probably done and abut to start burning he pulled them out and put them on serving trays making sure the oven was off he went and sat down hoping that he hadn't forgot anything. "I think they are amazing but I'm might be bias since I did make them."

Gale walked into the room and forced himself to smile and look happy to his parents. He still hadn't decided that trying to work out how to use his powers to try and plant the idea that the others stay with them, was a bad idea or not. He just wished he knew more about his powers. But neither of his fathers had been able to help him much. Gabe was the one who was most likely able to help but he was still trying to work things out for himself. Gale sat in his seat and began to nibble at his pizza.

Dakota walked into the room smiling at both Apollo and Gabriel, ruffling Gale's hair before taking a seat next to him and drinking some of his juice before taking a bite of his pizza, it was really yummy. He scoffed down his first piece before eating the next one, realizing that he was starving. He finished off the next piece before looking at his plate before looking at Apollo. "Can I please have some more pizza?" He asked them sheepishly, finishing the rest of the juice before filling his cup up again making sure he didn't spill anything or make a mess.
