Christian quieted her by placing a single finger on her lips. He was tired of having to explain to her that it was wrong for friends to get romantically involved. It didn't matter anymore. "I want to try.." He whispered. He was giving in. He dropped his hand to her neck, bringing her closer so that he could press his lips against her softer ones in a passionate kiss. The kiss didn't last long though. Brooklyn was misbehaving again. She had traded out the doll from her bag for the duck and crawled off with it again.

Her eyes widened the tiniest bit but his finger on her lips kept her from saying anything for the moment. Not that she couldn’t say anything if she really wanted to, but it was one of those small things that suddenly had a lot of ‘power’. And with Reese it was always better to be direct like this. Her heart jumped when he said he wanted to try.
He wanted to try. Like, for real? A chance to ask him that she didn’t get either as he leaned in to kiss her. Without as much as one second of hesitation Reese returned the kiss, her own hand coming to rest on his left knee. When the kiss ended a smile had made its way onto her lips, lighting up her face at the same time. Even though it had been a short kiss it had been perfect. “We can make this work Chris…you, me and the kids.”
And the stuffed duck.

Christian's cheeks reddened the moment he broke the kiss and he dropped his hands back into his lap, fingers intertwining with hers on his knee. They could make this work? Part of him had trouble believing that. But he didn't want to listen to that part of himself right now. No need to ruin a beautiful moment. He glanced over at Brooke and then to Nate, chuckling softly. Their kids were already having problems with each other. "So much for the boyfriend-girlfriend part. What are we going to do about them?"

And in an instant all the awkward tension between them was lifted. All of that after a kiss and a few smiles. Inside of herself Reese felt little butterflies chasing each other in her stomach. It made her cheeks turn a faint pink but caused a sparkle to reach her eyes. It was official then? They were like boyfriend/girlfriend?
“We are going to do absolutely nothing.” Deciding to take advantage of this moment Reese climbed into Chris his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck. “They will find out for themselves that they like each other. Just like we did.” she whispered against his lips, pressing a soft kiss on his bottom lip soon after. Turning her head a little to the side she watched Nathan looking at the doll with widened eyes while Brooke made a ‘run’ for it with his duck.

It was official now wasn't it? The thought made him sick to his stomach. Or was that little butterflies erupting? He had trouble telling the difference between the two. Pathetic wasn't it that Christian Tait didn't get his first girlfriend until the age of eighteen, both of them with a child of their own. Reese climbed into his lap, his arms working their way around her middle as he shyly returned the kiss. "Don't take it.." He whispered. "She'll give it back when she's bored. If you say she can't have it she'll only want it more..Forbidden Fruit in a sense"

Their friendship had always been a close one. They usually spend a lot time together, hugged each other, kissed each other one the cheek. Well at least Reese had always done that with Chris. Now that they were dating they would only get closer but the base of a relationship was already there. And that is what made Reese feel safe. She liked this, taking things slow. Or she figured that it what would happen seeing as Chris was kissing her gently and not jumping right on top of her.
Reese didn’t agree with Chris on the duck situation. Brooke should learn she couldn’t always have everything she wanted but then again, Brooke wasn’t her baby girl. Usually Reese would not have a problem with telling Christian that she disagreed with his decision. However, today she would let it slide and just give him his way. “Let me warn you, if Nate gets upset and starts to cry your so going to get an I-told-you-so.”

Christian could already see it now that they were going to have problems with each others parenting techniques. In his opinion Brooklyn could have anything that she wanted. She was his little girl, he couldn't deny her any of her wants and needs. What kind of father would he be if took a toy right out of her hands? He shrugged off her warning, rolling his eyes. "I can handle the I-told-you-so's.."

Reese rolled her eyes right back at him, although teasing smirk played on her lips. “Well if he starts crying you’re going to make him stop.” And that would be hard cause he was stubborn, like a true Mackenzie was. From the corner of her eyes she could see Nate rolling over, trying to crawl after Brooke. Brooke was faster than Nate, she was older so probably her little guy would eventually break down in tears.

Christian scowled. Another thing they had too in common, he was stubborn as well. Nice to figure out all of the faults two seconds after you start dating the girl. He ruffled her hair and kissed her cheek as gently rolled her out of his lap, watching his daughter with a small smirk on his face. She had crawled several feet off of the blanket so that no one could get her, keeping her back to them as she silently chewed on the soft beak.

This time she giggled lightly when Chris ruffled her hair. Stubborn and sweet. That he was for sure. Laying down on her side on the grass Reese watched Nathan push himself up to a sitting position. He cried out again, his arms stretching out to Brooke who was a few feet away from him now. Then he suddenly lost balance and tumbled right into his mothers arms who had already rolled over onto her stomach to catch him. Gently laying him on his back Reese started to press kisses on his stomach and a fit of baby giggles could be heard soon after.

Brooklyn turned around as she hear the baby giggle, blinking in confusion as she watched the mean woman press kisses to the boys belly. That was her and Daddy's game! She turned back around with the infamous Tait pout present on her lips, only to be surprised as Daddy scooped her up into his arms once more. She clutched the ducky tighter to her chest in fear that it would be taken away from her again. "There's my girl.." He cooed, returning to his place beside Reese. "Running away already?" He laid her down on the blanket next to Nate, lifting her shirt to press wet kisses to her tummy. He couldn't leave her out on the fun.

“I love you…” Reese whispered softly to Nathan, while she pressed a kiss on his forehead. Even though she loved Christian, Nathan would always be her number one. Just as she expected Brooke to be the number one of Chris. Suddenly yawning, Reese brought a hand to her mouth, keeping it there when another one followed soon after. Last night had been a bad night without much sleep and it was demanding its price from her now.
With a faint wave of her hand Reese conjured a few light blue orbs to disappear in the air. They flew up in the air and started to hover above both children. Nathan had always liked them, watching them move and trying to grab them. Immediately his tiny hands reached out and went to catch of them shiny things.

Brooklyn's eyes widened in amazement as two blue ball things appeared above her, both of her hands shooting up into the air above her trying to catch one of them. The duck falling out of her hands in the process. Christian chuckled, wrapping his arms around Reese and pulling her backwards a couple of inches so that his back could rest against the tree with her held tightly against his side. "Tired, Mack?"

Reese smiled, watching Nathan play and Brooke’s eyes widen in amazement. Every so often the orbs would move up and down in the air, hover for a while in the same spot, disappear or multiply. There were by far the cheapest toy kids seemed to like a whole lot. At night, when she couldn’t sleep Reese often conjured them for herself to look at. They reminded her of the stars she and Dane usually looked at together. “A little...” she answered, while she snuggled into Chris his arms. Letting her head rest against his shoulder she closed her eyes. “Did I ever tell you that you are the best pillow a girl could ever have?”

"No, and I can't possibly see how you could think that. I'm bony. Doesn't it hurt you?" Christian stated in disbelief. He had always been incredibly bony with odd angles and points, puberty had made that even worse for him. But he wrapped his other arm around her front anyways, hugging her tighter and pressing another kiss to her head.
