Mommy, Where Is Daddy? The Forsaken Daughter's Return novel Chapter 40

"You told her about the kiss limit," reminded Ethan.

"I know. I hate it when they remember these things... my kids are just too sharp," Samantha responded before forcing Ethan's hands off her waist. She smiled and pecked on his lips again. "Let me get the kids."

"Hmmmm," Ethan's typical response.

Before letting Samantha go, however, he put a hand behind her neck and savored for one last kiss.

His actions made Samantha chuckle as she forced herself free from Ethan's hold. She whispered, breathing against his lips, "I'll be back."

While Ethan turned on the lights to the living room, Samantha walked in the direction of their bedroom.

It did not take long for Kenzie and Kyle to walk back out with Samantha, both puzzled for the late evening wake-up call. Kyle was especially still sluggish.

"Hi guys," greeted Ethan while remaining to sit on the sofa.

Kenzie went straight into Ethan's lap and said, "Hi Daddy, are you done kissing?"

While Samantha's face burned, Ethan acknowledged, "Hmmm. Yes, Kenzie... We are done... for now."

"Come here, Kyle," Ethan called for his son, seeing him take his time.

When both the children were in Ethan's lap, Samantha took the seat in front of them and reported awkwardly, "Kids, I have an announcement to make."

"What is it, Mommy?" Kyle asked.

Samantha's eyes widened, first eyeing Ethan's reaction, but seeing how he was calm as usual, she cleared her throat and resumed her thoughts, "Daddy and I have agreed... to be together officially so... that means we will all live together soon!"

"Really, Mommy?" Kenzie asked, now fully awake. She turned to her Daddy and probed, "Is it true, Daddy?"

"Yes, it's true!" Answered Ethan before pecking on Kenzie's cute face.

Kyle on the other hand sighed. He declared, "Well, it's about time!"

Samantha wound up laughing at the reaction of Kyle while Ethan smirked.

"You are going to live with us here, Daddy?" Kyle inquired, looking up to Ethan.

"No, Kyle. We are going to live together in a new home." Ethan glanced at Samantha before he resumed his thoughts, "We are just going to do some paperwork and complete the needs of our new home and we should be ready to move in by Sunday."

Kyle wound up counting the days with his fingers. He exhaled and said, "Five days."

"Yes, only five days," Ethan acknowledged. "It won't be long, Kyle."

"A new home?" Kenzie eagerly asked. "Is it better than this house?"

"Oh, it's way better, sweetie!" Announced Samantha with gleaming eyes. "It has a pool!"

"Woah!" Both Kenzie and Kyle exclaimed happily.

"You'll have your own room and your own beds," told Ethan.

"Wow!" Kyle was amazed, raising his hands while he was telling.

"You are sharing with your sister," Samantha revealed.

"But I like sleeping with Mommy, Daddy," said Kenzie before pouting her lips.

"That's fine," responded Ethan. "I don't mind sleeping next to both you and Kyle, but there should be days when you let Mommy and Daddy sleep alone... Otherwise, you won't have another sister or brother."

Samantha's eyes widened. She leaned back in her chair, utterly shocked. She failed to think about this part of the arrangement.

Naturally, since they would get married, they would eventually.... do the deed, but what surprised her the most was how Ethan was expecting to have another child!

She coughed and cleared her throat before clarifying, "You want.... another child?"

"I want a baby girl!" Announced Kenzie.

"I want a boy!" Kyle declared, producing a fist and raising it mid-air.

"No! I want a baby sister!" Kenzie struck back.
