Carter's p.o.v
The babies are finally here. It's been so amazing having little ones. Luke is such a good dad.
Watching him take care of the babies has made me fall in love with him again. He loves them so much.
Kylie is Tyler King's godmother, and Kian is Ariel June's godfather. Kylie loves Tyler King so much.
She loves both of them a lot, but she and King just have a bond already. Having Justin around has been very helpful.
Sometimes he takes care of the babies so Luke and I can get some rest. He loves the babies so much.
Lily came over & met the babies. She loves them. Her and Luke (Brooks) are planning on having kids.
As a mother, hearing that made me a bit upset since she and Luke are so young. I was a young mother myself, but she's only 19.
She needs to focus on school. She got into college, she has an amazing job. Whatever she chooses to do, I'm happy for them.
Madison is filming more movies, which means she's away from home a lot. I miss her so much, but I am so happy for her.
Mason actually got Mahogany pregnant. I was upset at first, but that didn't change the fact that he was gonna be a dad.
It makes me sad because Mason is so young & I wish they could've waited. Regardless, I love both of them.
Dylan is with Niall. His husband. It's been so amazing having them around. They go on a lot of vacations.
The kids are currently at their dads. It's just Luke, Justin & I, and of course the babies.
They are both sound asleep though. The kids are always texting me and calling me because they want to come home.
I have set some court dates to see if they'll let me have full custody of them again.
It makes me so sad when they don't like being at their dad's. I wish they did. Bradley is an amazing father, even though he has his flaws.
I feel bad because I know he loves the kids, but he's always too focused on Kendall.
Don't get me wrong- Kendall and I have cleared things up and we're pretty good friends, but Brad needs to focus on his kids once in a while.
They need their dad, and if they're going to be living with them, the least he could do is pay attention to them.
My kids' happiness comes first. Knowing that I can't do anything as of right now, sucks.
All I want is for my kids to be back home with me. That's all I want. That's all they want.
I think that I need to have a talk with Brad. Just me and him. No kids, No Luke, & no Kendall.
I sent him at text and he agreed to let me go over. The kids said they would let us talk.
I got both of my babies ready and we headed to Brad's house. The drive there was shorter than usual.
I got my babies out, and knocked on his door. Brad answered. "Come in." He said smiling.
I thanked him, as he helped me with Ariel June's baby carrier. We headed into the living room.
Lily took the twins upstairs along with the rest of the kids. "What do we need to talk about?" Brad asked.
"The kids. Bradley, they don't like being here. They're always calling and texting me telling me they want to go home,"
"You know why? Because you focus way to much on Kendall. I understand she's your girlfriend, but your kids come first."
"What? I do focus on the kids. I focus on them more than I do on Ken." Brad defended.
"If that was the case, I wouldn't be here. My kids aren't happy. Why did you even want full custody anyways? So you could show them how much you care about Kendall and not them?" I asked.
"That was never my intention, Carter. You know i love the kids. They are my world." Brad said.
"Then prove it. Stop talking and act. The kids are miserable here. You don't even spend a minute of your day with them." I said.
"I'm sorry." Was all Brad said. "You're a great father, and I've told you that a million times,"
"But you need to get your priorities straight. Your kids always come first no matter what."
"Is that why Mason has been so distant?" Brad asked. "Yeah, that's why. Because you're distant." I said.
"I feel so bad." Brad said. "Fix things. Stop spending all your time with Kendall, and spend time with your kids,"
"Take them ice skating, watch movies, bake cookies, just do things that both you and the kids will enjoy. Paris and Casey especially. They're just babies,"
"They need to spend time with their dad and know he's always gonna be there... Not always with his girlfriend,"
"You're an amazing father. Everyone knows that. There's no doubt, but you haven't been showing that lately, and it's sad,"
"Here I am wishing my kids lived with me so I could spend all the time in the world with them, and you have them here and you don't even make an effort."
"I'll definitely be spending more time with the kids. Thank you Carter for letting me know and giving me advice," Brad smiled.
"You're such a great mother." I smiled at him. "And you're a great dad." "I'll be having a talk with the kids and apologize. I'll also be talking to Kendall." Brad said.
"That sounds good. Well, that's all I came to talk to you about, so I should get going,"
"LILY, CAN YOU BRING THE BABIES DOWN?" I shouted. "Congrats on the babies. They're beautiful." Brad said hugging me.
"Thank you." I smiled. "You're leaving already?" Mason asked me. "Yeah, baby. I'll see you Friday though." I smiled.
I said my goodbyes and I was on my way.
Brad's p.o.v
"Kids, can we have a talk in the living room?" I asked them as soon as Carter left.
"Sure." Lily said. We all went to the living room and sat down. "I just want to say I'm sorry.. I haven't been a very good father lately,"
"I'm so sorry I haven't been spending that much time with you guys. Kendall and I spend a lot of time together & I didn't realize that I wasn't pay much attention to you guys,"
"That's going to change, though. I will always be here for you guys & you know that. Nothing will be able to change that,"
"I love you guys with all my being and you're my number one priority, although I haven't been showing that,"
"I will be having a talk with Kendall as well. You guys come first, and you always will,"
"I hope that we can spend time together, and make memories that will last a lifetime. I love you." I told them.
Paris kissed my cheek. "Wuv you daddy" she said. I smiled as I sat her on my lap. "We love you too dad." Mason said hugging me.
"Always have." Lily smiled joining in on the hug. I picked Casey up. "Always will." Madison said.
These are the moments that are so special to me. It's the little things that are the most important.
I smiled as Madison chose a movie for us to watch. When Kendall gets back, we're gonna have a talk.
My kids come first, and although I haven't shown that, I've always known it. They're the best thing that's ever happened to me.
