@tutur: I didn't know they were parents

     @olls: and you have lived with them how long???

     @tutur: almost all my life

     @olls: then how the hell did you not know they're parents??

     @pastry: did he even know of dandan's existence?

     @honeybadger.: I don't know, all I know is dandan came from me!

     @maxvers: we know that you are everyone's favorite, okay.

Another day spent with each other, Thalie and Charles found themselves on the rooftop of the model's apartment building. None of them really planned what they would end up doing every day, all that would happen was Charles would show up at her apartment and see where they would end up in.

That day, they ended up just hanging out with each other. They were just sitting there after a long talk about life, what they have experienced these both months. They were just sitting there when Charles asked something out of nowhere.

"Thalie..." he trailed. The model hummed and nodded, "Yeah Charlie?" she asked, not really looking at him, her attention still towards the view that was in front of them.

"I have a question." He said. The model glanced at him, she realized that he was staring at her, this pushed him to nudge his shoulder with hers slightly, just a way to push him to continue speaking.

Charles let out a breath, "Do you think someone will ever love me?" he asked. Thalie chuckled, "A lot of people love you Charles, what are you talking about?" she said.

But the Ferrari driver shook his head, "Not like that, but like romantically. Like a partner in life? Do you think someone will stick around and be with me?" he asked her.

Charles took this time to stare at her, and Thalie did the same, stare back at him. She let out a sigh, "You know what I think Charlie? I think we should give it a try." She simply said with a small smile.

The driver tilted his head in confusion, "What?" he asked. This made her sigh, she turned to him and gulped, gathering all the courage she has, she rephrased her sentence, "I mean, let's go out to dinner?"

His jaw dropped, "Dinner? The two of us?" Thalie rolled her eyes, these were the moments when she questioned why she likes this guy.

"Who else? Charles, do you want to go to dinner or not?"

"Like a, date?"

"Yes Charles. A date, you and me."

Silence.

Thalie didn't know how to take it so she sighed, "You're looking for love right? Someone that will stay despite everything. Someone that knows you already." She said. Charles nodded, no words processing in his mind.

"Then, let's give it a try."

"Maman asked you on a date?" Felicity asked as she sipped her drink. Arthur who was sitting on the sand with Jules laughed, he nodded and sent a smirk towards the husband and wife. "Yes she did."

Felicity looked at her father, "What did you do?" she asked. Charles stared at her in shock, "I said yes?" he muttered.

The little Leclerc looked back and forth from her father and mother, "Took you that long?" she asked. Charles shook his head at the sassiness of his daughter, "I think you need some time apart from your uncles."

She chuckled and looked at her mother, "Papa acts like he isn't sassy Maman." She said. This made Thalie burst out into laughter, "He is sassy huh?" she asked and looked back at Charles.

The former Ferrari driver raised an eyebrow at his wife, but Thalie was quick to raise an eyebrow back at her husband. "Don't you dare look at me like that. I was the one with the balls to ask you out."

Arthur laughed at her, "She has a point. She wore the pants in the relationship." He said before picking Jules up, "Tonton Tutur! Down!" he said.

The youngest Leclerc brother looked at his nephew in shock, "Well okay mister." He mumbled and let him down. Jules crawling to his father, he reached up and patted Charles' knee, "Papa. Sand." He said as he placed sand on his father's knee.

Charles chuckled and kissed his cheek, "Bon travail Jules." He said and tickled the little boy's tummy. Giggles erupted making Felicity smile at her little brother, "Jules loves sand."

"Very nice observation Feli." Arthur was then pointed at by the little girl, "Watch it." Felicity said making the parents laugh.
