Finding Them

As Daniel pulled into his brother's driveway, his sons and Bill were waiting for them. Mitchell had arrived with Hunter and Eddie 20 minutes ago. Daniel got out of the car and greeted his brother and then went to grab Darcy. Once Darcy was awake she could wake Dakota as no one else was game too. Bill walked to the other side of the car going to get Dakota out. "I wouldn't do that if I was you," Daniel told his brother. "Why?" Bill asked. "Let's just say the only person in the house to get away with waking any of the boys is Darcy, watch" Daniel told his brother who nodded his head yes and stepped back.

"Princess time to wake up" Daniel cooed at Darcy while rubbing her hand to coax her from her nap. Darcy slowly woke from her sleep, rubbing her eyes and blinking before she spotted Addy and smiled. "Hey princess, we are at Buck's place. Want to wake Dakota for me?" Daniel asked his daughter. Darcy nodded her head and tried to pull her seatbelt off but couldn't. She turned to and gave Addy puppy dog eyes and he quickly took the seatbelt off kissing Darcy on the forehead.

Darcy climbed over to Dakota's chair sitting on his lap. Darcy took Kota's face in her hands and kissed his forehead and his nose, then she kissed his cheeks before snuggling into him. Dakota began to wake up glaring at his surroundings. Bill watched on wide-eyed at the look on Dakota's face. It was the same look all of the boys got if they were woken up when they were kids. Dakota glared around till he looked down seeing his sister snuggled into his chest. Dakota smiled wrapping his arms around his sister smiling. Dakota took a deep breath smelling his sister's hair, he kissed the top of her head before mumbling "Wuv you Cc". "Wuv you Kota. We see Buck" Darcy replied. Dakota nodded his head yes before he searched for someone to get him out of the car seat.

Bill walked over to the twins, "Hey guys. Welcome to my place. I'm going to pick Darcy up and then Dakota I'll get you out of the car if that's ok?" Bill asked wanting to give the twins a choice. Darcy nodded her head yes and Dakota looked around seeing his brothers and Addy watching and smiling at them so he gave Bill a nod, yes confirming. Dakota didn't want Darcy out of the car without him in case someone took her from him. Daniel had gotten everything out of the car already and was standing waiting for the twins so they didn't freak out. Daniel was even holding red while the twins held onto their teddies.

Once Bill had taken the twins out he held each of their hands as they walked into his place. Bill had locked his dogs outside for now in case the twins didn't like them. He had two Labradors who were his babies. Bill led the twins into the lounge room where he had set up some toys and some snacks on the table for the twins. He would be starting the BBQ in a few minutes once he got the twins settled. The dogs were sitting on the back porch watching Bill and the people entering their home. Daniel set the twin's bag down and handed Darcy her red ball earning a kiss from his princess. She loved that ball more than anything.

Darcy then spotted the dogs through the glass doors and ran to the door with Dakota following her. Dakota was unsure of the new place and if there was anything or anyone dangerous there. "Doggy" Darcy squealed when she was close to the doors. She was waving at the dogs and smiling. The dogs, Ringo and Rocky were wagging their tails and licking the glass causing Darcy to start giggling. "Cc pat?" Darcy asked not taking her eyes off the dogs. Dakota was smiling at his sister and the dogs, he liked dogs too. The two dogs he met in his life helped to protect them when they weren't with Addy and their brothers. "Kota pat too" Dakota stated.

Daniel looked at his brother who shrugged his shoulders, Bill had no problem with the twins meeting his dogs. His dogs were well-trained and friendly. He also wouldn't be leaving the twins alone with the dogs just in case. Darcy looked at Mitty and had big round eyes "Cc doggy?" She asked her eldest brother as no one had let her near the doggy. Darcy looked like she could burst into tears any minute. "Dad she has those eyes, you know the big puppy eyes that make you want to give her the world. Let her see the dogs before I go buy one" Mitchell rushed out causing Bill to laugh.

Hunter, Eddie and Jamie were nodding in agreement. They too had looked at Darcy and her big puppy eyes and were willing to go buy her a dog if it would make her happy. Dakota then joined in with the puppy eyes. Both he and Darcy looked at Daniel with big puppy dog eyes and Daniel tried to look at anything but the twin's eyes. He couldn't deny the twins and nodded to his brother to allow the dogs to come in.

Bill opened the door for the dogs and Darcy and Dakota immediately rushed out. The dogs dropped quickly laying down so the twins could pat them at the command of Bill. Darcy rushed over to Rocky while Dakota rushed towards Ringo. Darcy threw herself on Rocky, Rocky's tail was wagging so fast. She swung around licking Darcy on the face causing Darcy to giggle loudly. Dakota was patting Rocco watching his sister. Rocco laid his head in Dakota's lap looking up at the little boy who was smiling to himself.

Bill was cooking the BBQ while the twins happily played with the dogs. Darcy had even given Rocky the red ball. Everyone had been shocked that Darcy had given the ball to Rocky, but Rocky had dropped it between her paws and seemed to realise the ball was special because she didn't take her eyes off the ball. Daniel couldn't help but watch the twins with the dogs. They were so gentle and careful with the dogs and wouldn't leave their side. Even when Darcy needed to wee, Dakota and the dogs followed her with Rocky carefully carrying red with them. Bill couldn't help but snap a few photos because it was too cute not to.
