go?"
     
    “Yep,” Honey patted his chest and then gave him a fierce hug. “I just wanted to make sure you were okay Daddy Mik.” She admitted to him softly. “Now come on. Mom’s making us snake pancakes with lemon and strawberry stripes, so good.” She assured him.
     
    "Well hopefully she leaves the strawberry off some, I'm allergic to them," he said helping her off his lap. "Though I don't know if I ever mentioned that to her," he murmured standing up and tucked his hands into his pockets.
     
    Honey shrugged, “If not, she will make you more.” The child said confidently and then grabbed one of his hands out of his pocket and slipped her much smaller one into it. “You look too tense when you do that. When you don’t know what to do, hold my hand or mommy’s, we will always let you.” She assured him and pulled him with her towards the kitchen.
     
    Shaking his head he followed after her letting her lead him however she wanted. Looking to Daisy he gave a shrug, he was at least trying even if he was screwing up. "Go and sit, you need to eat your meal if we're to take you to school. I'd hate to make you late for the day," he murmured quietly to Honey."
     
    “Okay but come sit beside me. I will sit between my daddies this morning.” Honey stated firmly. “Mom, Daddy Mik is allergic to strawberries.”
     
    “I remember Honey. Don’t worry I made him some plain ole pancakes with his favorite, blueberries.” Daisy looked to Mikhail and smiled, “They are still your favorites, right?”
     
    Nodding he smiled at her, "Yes ma'am," he murmured pulling out a chair for Honey and gave her a hand up. Taking the seat next to her he rubbed his hands to his thighs. Looking up as Daisy set a cup of coffee next to his setting he smiled slightly, "Thanks."
     
    “You are welcome.” Daisy looked at Gareth who looked like he was happier than a clam and shook her head. “And Honey.” She said to get her daughter’s attention, “Don’t try to drag the dads into school with you. I mean it. They have to get back to their ranch. They have things that they have to do and going into the school so that you can introduce them to each and every single person there will just not work kiddo. You will see them Friday night again, I promise.” When Honey stuck out her lower lip Daisy just lifted her brow, “Really?” She asked and saw her daughter relent. “You can get their phone numbers and give them ours and call them, if they say it’s okay.” She looked to the men and added, “And find out when it’s okay. They have lives Honey. You need to keep that in mind.”
     
    Gareth pulled out a piece of paper and scribbled his name and number onto the sheet before passing the sheet and pen over to Mikhail. Staring at it for a moment he wrote his name and number down. Handing the pen back to Gareth he passed the sheet to Honey. "Call whenever you want," he told her softly. "If we don't answer leave us a message and we'll call you back as soon as we can; just no calls after eight on a school night."
     
    Honey grinned happily and nodded. “I will go and put these in my phone right now.”
     
    “Not until you are finished with breakfast Honey. After that you wash up, brush your teeth and hair and then you can put them in. You can even send them a text message but that’s it.”
     
    “Gosh mom, you’re no fun.” Honey grumbled. “But I guess I am hungry.” She added and very carefully put the piece of paper on the table in front of her, keeping her plate far from it. As she ate she looked up from Gareth to Mikhail and back again.
     
    Taking a seat at the table with them Daisy shook her head and smiled. She simply drank a glass of milk while watching them and felt her heart clenching inside of her chest. She still loved these two men, Gareth was obviously over the moon in love with Honey but Mikhail was more reserved and trying to pull away from the child which worried Daisy. He had said he never stopped loving her
