Could I get something of Dodds Sr and Anne watching the kids?

“So. What do you want to do first?” William clasped his hands together. Anne and William enthusiastically agreed to watch the kids for the evening so you and Mike could have a date night.

“Legos!” Isaac exclaimed. “We build a car, Pappy!” He ran to his room to get collect said Legos. When he came back he dumped them all over the carpet. 

“Wow, Isaac,” William chuckled, “that is some collection. So you want to build a car? You know your Dad loved to make things with Lego when he was your age. 

“Me and Daddy build stuffs. Mama does too.” Isaac pressed together a long, slender building block with a wheel. 

“Me pways.” Cora plopped down beside William grabbing at the block.

“Cora! No! You are too little. These are my blocks. Go play with the baby blocks.” Isaac snatched the Lego from Cora causing her to have an instant meltdown. 

Anne rushed into the family room from the kitchen where she was preparing dinner. “What in heavens name is going on? Is she hurt?” Anne took Cora from William and snuggled her to her chest. “Shh. It’s okay sugar.”

“Isaac Michael Dodds, was that nice?” William chided him. “Pick up all these blocks. Then apologize to your sister.”

Isaac started his own waterworks. It was rare he got in trouble with either Anne or William. “But-but these are big boy blocks. Not for baby’s.” Isaac sniffed. 

William sighed, then knelt down to Isaac’s level. “C’mere buddy. We don’t take things out of peoples hands, right?” Isaac nodded. “Okay. Let’s go apologize to Cora.”

Cora was sitting on the counter with Anne standing next to her. “I’m sorry, Cora.” She grinned at Isaac and gave him a slice of cheese. “I think all is forgiven. Now wash up for dinner.”

Isaac was scrapping the bottom of his after finishing his ice cream. “Memaw. Are you Daddy’s Mama?”

“Well uh no. I’m his step-mama.” She replied exchanging a look with William. “Why do you ask darlin’?”

Isaac sighed. “I asked Daddy and Mama. They said in every way that matters.”

Anne looked at William, who gave her a wink. Anne cleared her throat. “How bout another scoop of ice cream?”

After dinner the kids got a bubble bath then jammies. They picked out a movie and settled on the couch. “Annie is Mama’s favorite movie. She knows all the songs and sings. She’s not very good. Daddy can sing real good. Mama said that’s why she falled in love with him.”

William looked over the kids heads and smiled at Anne. She returned the smile, then blew him a kiss.

When you and Mike arrived home, you found the four of them asleep on the sectional sofa. Cora was lying on William’s chest and Isaac was curled into Anne’s side.

“Oh they are just the cutest,” you remarked quietly. Pulling your phone from your purse, you snapped a quick picture. “Should we put the kids on their beds?”

“Really think that’s a good idea?” Mike whimpered. “I mean I can think of better things to do than trying to get two toddlers back to sleep.” He grinned at you suggestively.

“Well what are you waiting for?” You giggled and gently tugged on his hand leading him toward the bedroom.

Idk if you write for him, it’s cool if you don’t but could I get William Dodds introducing his S/O to Mike over dinner?

//Yes! Anne, William’s S/O, is one of my OC’s!//

“Are you ready to go? Our reservations are for 7 o’clock.” William bussled into the bedroom as Anne was putting in a pair of earrings.

She figeted with the diamond pendant that hung from a chain on her neck. She gave William a nervous smile. “I think I’m more nervous meeting them than I was on our first date.”

“Darling. They will love you. Trust me.” He brought her hand up to his lips.

“Anne. This is my son Michael and his girlfriend, Y/N.” William smiled. Y/N came around and gave him and Anne a hug. “Good seein’ you kid”, he hugged Y/N back and kissed her cheek. Michael shook William’s hand, then Anne’s.

“It so good to finally meet you, Anne”, Y/N gave her a broad smile. “William here has told us so much about you.”

Anne laughed softly. “ I feel the same dear. Seems like I know ya’ll.”

William smiled. “Let’s order, shall we.

“Michael-”

“Mike, please.”

“Mike”, Anne smiled. “How did you and Y/N meet?”

Mike chcuckled, winking at Y/N. “We met on blind date of sorts. About five years ago. Not a very exciting story.”

Y/N changed the subject quickly. “My dad was stationed at Fort Benning. Is that close to where you’re from?”

William smiled. He was extremely happy. Happier than he had been in years. Anne was caring, compassionate, giving and for some reason she loved him. William participated in the conversation, but mostly listened.

“Excuse me. I need to powder my nose.” Anne stood.  Y/N excused herself as well and joined Anne. William and Mike watched as they walked together, chatting.

Mike turned to his dad. “She’s great dad. I really like her. Good to see you happy, finally.”

“I am.“ William grinned. “She’s it for me, son. I’m going to ask her to marry me.” William looked expectatantly at his son. He pulled a diamond solitaire from his jacket pocket. “She makes me a better person. I think you understand that.” William smiled at him.

“That’s-wow dad.” He stood going around the table and two men embraced.

“So. When are you going to make an honest woman out of Y/N?” William teased his son.

“Oh, dad. We’re happy with the way things are.” Mike furrowed his brow.

The two watched as Anne and Y/N made their way back to the table, both smiling like they had a secret. “We’re both pretty darn lucky.“ He kissed Y/N cheek when she came back to the table then whispered something in her ear making her giggle.

After dinner, the band started playing. “Care to dance, Y/N?” William held his hand out. Y/N accepted, taking his hand.

Mike smiled as he watched his dad and Y/N dance. She looked over to him a wink.

“She’s sweet, Mike. You have yourself a good one there.” Anne remarked as she watched William and Y/N dance.

“She’s the best.” Mike turned to Anne, “I don’t remember ever seeing my dad this happy. I know you’re the reason. He’s head over heels, who can blame him?”

“Believe me, the feeling is mutual.” Her eyes glistened when she spoke about William.

“Anne? Care to show my dad and Y/N how to dance?” Mike rose and offered his hand.

“Absolutely.” Anne accepted Mike’s hand and he lead her out to the dance floor.

“Beautiful dance partner you have”, Mike commented to his dad. “Makes you look good, old man.” To which William chuckled.

“Not so bad yourself champ”, Y/N winked. “In fact, mind if I cut in?”

“Now I’m stuck with the old man?” Anne teased.

“I’ll show you old man. C’mere”, William grinned, releasing Y/N to Mike.

“He’s so happy, Mike. Such a novelty to see.” Y/N stated. “And Anne is pretty smitten too.”

“He’s going to ask her to marry him” Mike looked at your name, gaging the reaction.

“Seriously? That is great to hear. Now I’ll have someone to talk to when we get together with your dad.”

“Does it bother you we’re not married, or even engaged?” Mike asked.

Y/N shrugged her shoulders, “Sometimes I guess. But mostly no. Why does it bother you to ‘live on sin’?”

Mike chuckled, “I love you, I don’t need a piece of paper to prove that.”

“Okay. Its settled then. We’ll live in sin.”

“Sounds heavenly to me.” Mike dipped his head, giving Y/N a passionate kiss.
