"Tao, what are you doing?" Kris asked as he passed by Tao's room. He saw the panda cleaning some parts of his room since it was really messy before they left to China.

"Cleaning." Tao started to fold his clothes quickly. Once they arrived back at Kris' mansion early morning, everyone started to tidy up the place for the new family members coming in tonight. "They are coming tonight right?"

"Tonight." Kris said, leaning against Tao's door way. "Unless the plane was delayed…then maybe early morning. Probably like midnight or at 1. It all depends."

"Okay then."

As Tao continued to fold some of his clothes, Kris continued to watch the other walk back and forth in his room, tidying up the most littlest things. The dragon started to ponder where to place Luhan, Yixing, and as well as Suho and Joonxing in the house. He figured that he could give the spare rooms, but they would need to be cleaned and prepared. He knew that even with Xiumin and Chen, as well as the others, it would take time to fix everything.

"Hey Tao."

"Hm?" He responded, not even looking back at the other. "What is it?"

"Are you almost done with your room?"

"Huh?" Tao turned around, raising his eyebrow at him. "What do you mean?"

"Uh, what I mean was…the rooms probably won't be ready in time for them. Even with the others helping, the rooms still needs to be prepared you know."

"Okay…so what does that have to do with my room?"

"I figured that Sehun would want Luhan to stay in his room. That just leaves your brother and Suho with his son." Tao could only nod at what the other was getting at. Still, he displayed a confused look on his face. "I was thinking that they can stay in your room."

"That leaves me with no room though."

"Well, yeah. You can sleep with me."

"Whoo hoo!!" Both jumped at the sudden yell. Kris turned to see Sehun standing right behind him with a happy look on his face. "Oh, I see, I see, I see!" He grinned like a child. "Someone is going to have some fun tonight!!" He yelled loud enough for it to echo trough the hallways.

"Sehun!!" Kris yelled, turning a bit red.

"Oh, oh. My bad." Sehun held up his hands for defense. "Maybe not tonight, but some other night right?"

"Sehun!!"

The gardener laughed as he ran down the hallway to avoid the wrath that is Kris. 'I am so going to rip his face!' He turned to face Tao, who was burning red at the event that just happened. "I-I, uh, that is not what…that was not my…okay that was some wrong wording. What I meant was that you can move to my room. W-while, Yixing, Suho, and Joonxing take your room."

Tao could only nod. "O-okay. You don't mind or anything?"

"I don't mind." The dragon responded, looking down at the floor as he fiddled with the cuff of his dress shirt. "Well, you are my boyfriend, so really I don't mind anyway."

A smile started to form on Tao's face. He placed some of the shirts that he was holding onto the bed and made his way over the taller. Tao placed his hands on the other's cheeks, lifting his head a bit. "Thank you." He pecked Kris on the lips before giving a beaming smile. "I love you so much babe!" Tao said cutely to the taller, only making Kris turn a deep shade of red. Tao laughed and patted Kris on the cheek. "I find it funny how you turn into a shade of red whenever I call you that."

"I don't even know why I turn red. Why is it that when I call you honey you don't turn red either?"

Tao pondered a bit and gave a shrug. "I don't know. Maybe it is because I love it when you call me that." He took a step back and crossed his arms. "You don't like it when I call you babe or something?"

"N-no, I do like it. Its just…I mean seriously, when you look at me, do I look like a babe to you?"

"Hm, you look more like that angry bird from the game."

Kris made a face. "I'm a what?"

"You know," Tao leaned over and reached into Kris' pocket to get out his phone. "The game that Yitao plays with the cute birds and the piggies." He searched for the game and pressed on the app. He turned the phone over and showed the other the bird that was displayed on the front.

"Why do people say that I look like a dragon or that ugly, angry thing."

"Hey," Tao brought the phone back. "Red bird is not ugly." He pressed the home button the phone and returned it back to Kris. "I could stop calling you that if it makes you uncomfortable." He chuckled.

"No, no I --"

"Mommy!" Yitao ran towards Tao and Kris with Baekyeol at tow.

"Yitao what happened?"

"Baekyeol and I are hungry." Yitao said, with Baekyeol right behind him.

"Oh? Why don't you guys go to auntie then and ask for food?"

"Auntie isn't here remember?"

Tao blinked a bit and remembered that Xiumin took Chen to do some shopping for the new family members coming in. All that was left in the mansion were themselves as well as Sehun and Chanyeol, who were helping tidy up the house. "Oh…r-right." He knelt down to be at the same height as the two. "What would you two like?"

"I want a PB and J sandwich!" Yitao said, raising his hand. Baekyeol looked over at the young panda and raised his hand as well.

"Me too, me too!"

Tao chuckled and nodded. "Why don't you two go to the kitchen and wait for me okay? I'll be there in a second."

The children nodded and turned around to head to the kitchen. Once they turned the corner, Tao looked over his shoulder and smiled. "Would you like anything dear?"

"Deer?" Kris blinked. "D-e-e-r?" He spelled only to have Tao laugh.

"N-no, I meant 'd-e-a-r'."

"Another term of endearment?" Kris nodded. "I like that one."

"Really? Better than 'babe'?" Kris nodded like a child, making Tao smile even more. He cupped the taller's cheeks lovingly; he leaned forward and gave the other a loving a kiss. As they were having their moment with each other, the two children peaked from the corner.

Yitao smiled at his parents; he would love to find someone that he will be able to care for just like his father cared for his 'mother'. He looked over his shoulder once he felt Baekyeol tug on his arm.

"Yitao, your mama and papa love each other very much huh."

"Of course." Yitao turned around to face the younger. "My mommy and daddy are totally in love." He nodded. "Yup, thats right. Just like how auntie Xiumin loves uncle Chen."

"And like my mama and papa right?" Baekyeol asked with wide eyes. Yitao chuckled and nodded.

"Just like your mommy and daddy too."

Baekyeol beamed and glanced over to see Kris and Tao still having their loving moment. He looked at Yitao before he gave him a peck on the cheek. The young panda was stunned and placed his hand on his cheek.

"Wh-what was that for?" Yitao asked, blushing hard as he rubbed his cheek.

"I like Yitao a lot." Baekyeol said, clasping his hands together. "I want to be with Yitao for a long time." With that, Baekyeol stood up and started to head towards the kitchen, leaving Yitao behind.

The young panda watched as the youngest left. 'Why does he like me so much?' He stood up and followed the other to the kitchen.

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

"That should be it." Tao whispered to himself as he placed all his belongings in one corner of Kris' room. He looked around at the room that he was now staying it before he yawned a bit. He started to shake his head to keep himself awake since he wanted to be awake when his brothers, Suho, and Joonxing arrive, but he started to feel the tiredness start to wave over him. For the rest of the day, he has been cleaning out his room so that Yixing, Suho, and Joonxing will be able to use it once they arrive, and some parts of the mansion as well.

He made his way to Kris' bed and flopped on top of it. 'Come on Tao…stay awake.' Tao turned to the side and closed his eyes for a brief moment, wanting to catch up on a little bit of sleep. He heard the door click open, but didn't do much as lifting his head up, knowing well enough who it was.

"Tao." Kris started to gently shake him. "Tao, why don't you go properly sleep on the bed."

The panda grunted and shooed Kris to leave him along. The dragon shook his head and picked up Tao, bringing him to the head of the bed. "There. At least your legs are not hanging at the end of the bed." He told the other as he brushed some strands away from Tao's eyes. 'He must be exhausted now.' "Just sleep okay."

Tao shook his head, but his eyes were still shut. "No." He said tiredly. "I want to be awake when they come."

Kris let out a soft chuckle. "But your eyes are closed. You're tired…just sleep." Again, the panda shook his head childishly. "Just sleep Tao. I'm sure they will understand. Besides, you have been cleaning your room and even the mansion since early this morning. You are exhausted."

Tao gave a big exhale and slowly opened his eyes. Now staring at the other, he folded his hands on his stomach. "But I wanna be awake when they come. By the way, what time is it?"

"Its," He checked his watch before telling Tao the time. "Its almost midnight."

"What?" Tao pushed himself up so that he be sitting straight on the bed. "That can't be." He looked at the bed side table to check the clock himself and it showed that it was indeed 10 minutes 'till midnight. "Wha…when did that happen?"

"It happened." Kris took a seat beside Tao. He explained how Luhan called him earlier saying that the plane was delayed twice and it would be for another 3 hours.

"So they will be leaving at 1 in the morning?" Tao asked with a sad expression on his face. Kris gave a nod in response.

"Yeah. I let Chanyeol go already and I told Chen that I would be picking them up. The both of them looked exhausted since they were helping us with the mansion."

"I wanna come with you."

"You are tired though." He started to push Tao on the bed. "Sleep. They will be here in the morning."

Tao wanted to protest, but gave up. 'At least they will be here tomorrow morning. I'll just wake up before all of them and make breakfast.' He nodded to himself. 'Yeah, I'll do that.'

"Why did you just nod?"

"Hm?" Tao blinked. "W-what was that?"

"You just nodded." He said. "What was that for?"

"Ah, nothing. I think I'll take up by your offer. I'll get some sleep."

"Good." He stood up, stretching a bit. "I'll be leaving now. I'll just wait for them at the airport, so once they arrive, we will just go."

"O-okay." Tao leaned over and grabbed Kris' hand before he could walk away. the dragon turned around with a confused expression on his face.

"Whats wrong Tao?"

Tao motioned Kris to come closer, in which he did. The panda lifted himself up a bit and gave the other a loving kiss. He gently pulled the other closer, so that Kris would now be hovering over him, hands and legs on either side of Tao.

"Tao, what are you doing?"

"Nothing." He kissed the other once again. "Thank you." Tao said softly.

"It's no problem Tao. You know that."

It may be no problem, but still Tao thought it wasn't enough. Kris has done so much for him and his family. He could say millions of 'thanks yous' and it wouldn't be enough.

'I'm…I'm probably a lucky person to have someone like him.' He gave a small smile. "No matter how much I say it…it won't be enough. Thank you so much for what you did. I-I'm just happy!" Tao started to wipe his eyes to prevent tears from coming out.

Kris could only smile; he Tao's soft cheek, comforting him. "One thank you is enough. You're smiling…and knowing that you are happy, makes me happy." The panda blushed a bit and gently hit the other on the shoulder. "Ow! That…what was that for?"

"That sounded…cheesy."

Kris pouted. "It may be cheesy, but it is true. Besides," He leaned down and pecked Tao on the lips. "I made a promise to someone that I will make sure to keep you happy."

"Was it Luhan?"

He shook his head. "No, wasn't Luhan."

"Yixing then."

"Not him either."

"Then…who?"

"Your father."

Tao's eyes widen a bit. "My…father?" Kris nodded. "You promised that…"

"That I would keep you happy no matter what. Happy and safe, and that is what I intend to do."

Tao smiled and cupped the other on the cheeks. He brought Kris down, giving him another loving kiss. As the two continued, none of them realized that Yitao entered the room and was standing right beside the bed.

"Mommy. Daddy."

Both Tao and Kris opened their eyes and quickly pulled away, knowing well enough who it was. "Yi-Yitao!" Tao stuttered. Without thinking, he placed his feet against Kris' stomach and tossed him to the side of the bed. Unfortunately, for the dragon, the panda's strength was too much that Kris bounced off the bed and hit the floor. A thud was heard and some groaning from the older.

"Whoa!" Yitao started to jump up and down. "Mommy is so strong!"

"Wah!" Tao got up and crawled to the side of the bed where Kris is now laying on the floor, groaning. "I-I'm sorry. A-are you okay?"

"I-I'm…I'm okay." Kris turned over to the side. "Lemme just…lay here for a minute."

"O-okay." Tao turned around to see Yitao still standing there with a smile on his face. "Yitao, what are you doing up?" He patted a space on the bed. "It is way passed your bed time."

"I can't sleep. Can I sleep with mommy and daddy?"

"Of course." Tao patted the middle of the bed. "Sleep in the middle okay." Yitao nodded and climbed over Tao to be in the middle of the bed. Kris slowly looked over at the edge of the bed peaking at Tao and his son. Yitao glanced over at his father and started to chuckle.

"Time to sleep" The young panda patted the space in front of him. "Come to bed daddy."

"Ah, I can't." By then, Kris stood up, dusting himself off. "I have to pick up auntie, uncle, and Joonxing from the airport."

"Oh."

"So stay here okay and keep mommy company."

Yitao nodded and saluted his father. "Yes sir!"

Kris smiled. "Good." He leaned over and pecked on Yitao's forehead. "Now, sleep or else you will be really tired tomorrow. Since Joonxing will be here, introduce him to Baekyeol okay."

"Hm!" Yitao nodded. "Okay!" Quickly, Yitao tucked himself in and quickly closed his eyes. He was getting excited in wanting to introduce Joonxing to Baekyeol. Then tomorrow, they can have some fun and play.

Once Yitao closed his eyes, Kris leaned over to Tao, giving him one last kiss before leaving to pick up Luhan and company. "I'll be back."

Tao nodded. "Okay…um, drive safe."

"I will. Good night." With that, the taller exited his bedroom.

The panda slowly got up and gathered his bedtime clothes. 'I'll just change and brush my teeth…then I can sleep.' He nodded to himself and made his way to Kris' bathroom.

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

Tao quickly, but quietly, made his way down the stairs of Kris' mansion. It was morning and as promised to himself, he wanted to make breakfast for everyone. As he stepped off from the last step, he made his way to the hallway where everyone's rooms were. He grabbed the door handle that used to be his room; he slowly opened it and smiled when he saw Yixing, Suho, and little Joonxing situated between them, sleeping together on the bed. He closed the door and made his way over to Sehun's room, remembering how he and Luhan are together now. Tao slowly opened Sehun room, and nodded to himself that his elder brother and Sehun were sleeping. Soon, he started to scrunch his nose and started to wave his hand in front of his nose. 'What is that smell?' He shook his head and gently closed the door. 'As long as everyone is here…I'm happy.' Tao started to head to the kitchen with a smile on his face.

"Let's see." Tao pondered a bit as he grabbed one of the aprons that Xiumin had in the kitchen. "Bacon…eggs…toast…its warm today." He glanced at the window and nodded. "Yeah, it is warm…so, fruit smoothie?" He checked the fruits and nodded to himself. "Okay, I'll just do that."

Tao started to prepare breakfast for everyone, making something simple knowing well how his cooking skills are. As he continued to cook, he looked over his shoulder once he heard foot steps coming to the kitchen.

"Xiumin! Good morning."

"Tao?" Xiumin cutely yawned and rubbed his eye. "What…its early…what are you doing up?"

"I wanted to make breakfast for everyone."

"Do you need any help?"

"No, no. I'm almost done." Tao made his way over to Xiumin and gently pushed him to the kitchen table. "Sit, sit! I'm almost done anyway. Can you wait for a bit?" Xiumin could only give a simple nod. "Great! Just hold on." The panda turned around and made his way to the stove to finish cooking.

Xiumin chuckled and watched as the panda finish cooking. 'He has gotten better since he first started working here.' He beamed at the memory. 'Ha! Ah, Tao…scared to touch the stove and here you are cooking.'

"Xiumin, I'll go and get everyone okay."

"Oh, okay." The chef nodded. "I'll set up the table for you." He told the other as he made his way to gather the table mats and plates.

"Thank you!" Quickly, Tao went to Sehun's room first. He knocked on the door and waited for a bit for either Sehun or Luhan to open the door. "Sehun." Tao knocked once more. "Wake up, its time for breakfast." He pressed his ear against the door and heard Sehun replying back saying that they will be there soon. "Okay." With a nod, he went over to his former room and knocked on the door. The front door opened to reveal a dressed up Suho.

"Good morning." Tao said with a smile.

"Good morning to you too." Suho opened the door wider for the other. Just sitting on the bed was Joonxing, all dressed and swinging his feet.  "Coming in?"

"Oh, no, I was just going to say time for breakfast is all."

"All right. Yixing is just taking a shower, so we will be there soon."

Tao nodded; as Suho closed the door, the panda made his way over to Xiumin and Chen's room. It took awhile for Chen to respond back, but was able to get him out of bed.

'Now, I just need to wake by my babies!' Tao chuckled to himself as he walked up the stairs. 'Well…one baby and a big one.' As he approached Kris' door, he slowly opened it to see that Yitao and Kris were still asleep. Kris was now laying on his side, with Yitao resting his head on Kris' waist. 'Aww! How cute.' He approached the two, placing his hand on Kris' shoulder.

"Kris, wake up."

"Hm."

"Kris."

"Hm?" He said a little bit louder.

"Breakfast time. Wake up."

Kris let out an exhale. "Okay." He tried to move, but it made Yitao groan in annoyance. Tao smiled and picked up the young panda.

"Hm!" Yitao rubbed his eyes.

"Time for breakfast Yitao." Tao carried him to the bathroom. "Lets just wash your face okay. Shower after breakfast." He placed Yitao on the counter and grabbed a face towel. Yitao sniffed and watched at Tao wetted the towel with warm water. The young panda started to drift  back to sleep, making Tao chuckle. "Still sleepy?"

"Yes." Yitao said tiredly. Tao placed his hand on Yitao's cheek and started to rub his face clean with the towel. By then Kris came to the bathroom, placing the seat cover down, and sitting on top of the toilet. The dragon watched as Tao continued to clean his son's face. Once Yitao was done, he was now fully awake. The young panda started to pat his cheeks. "I'm clean?"

"Yes you are." Tao said, giving Yitao a kiss on the cheek.

"Aw, don't I get one?" Kris asked.

"Hm?" Tao picked up Yitao and placed him on the floor. "No, you don't."

"Why not?"

Tao eyed him and patted Yitao on the back. "Go down stairs okay. Auntie Xiumin is there."

"Okay." Yitao ran out of the bathroom to the front door. Once both adults heard the click, Tao leaned down and gave a good morning kiss to Kris, catching him by surprise.

"Good morning to you." Tao said with a smile. "Now, hurry and wash up because everyone is waiting." As he was about to leave, Kris grabbed onto Tao's wrist and spun him around. The panda was now facing the taller, with a confused expression. "What was that for?"

Not responding orally, Kris just leaned down and gave Tao a heated kiss. As the dragonpulled back, he chuckled a bit as say how dazed Tao was. "That is my good morning kiss to you."

The panda blushed a bit. "Hurry up and get cleaned. Everyone is waiting. The food that I made will get cold."

"You cooked?"

"Of course. I wanted to make breakfast for everyone." Tao said, feeling a little bit proud. "So, hurry up!"

"Okay, okay." Kris gently pushed Tao out of the bathroom. "Thank you for the breakfast babe."

"Babe!!" Tao turned around, more red than before. "I'm babe now?"

"Well, yeah. I think it suits you more don't you think?" He grinned. "And you are blushing! Wow…this is one big of a change."

"S-so then…we will be call each other babe?"

"No." The dragon shook his head. "You called me 'dear' before…I like that more."

"B-but, I liked calling you babe." Tao pouted at the taller.

"Ah, no. You call me 'dear', I get to call you 'babe'."

"Fine, whatever." The panda rolled his eyes, yet chuckled. "Hurry up…d-dear." With that, Tao sprinted to the door and closed it.

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

After everyone had a good breakfast, Chanyeol and his family were coming over soon. Yitao was surely glad that Baekyeol was coming over. It gave him a good opportunity to introduce him to Joonxing.

"You will like him Joonxing." Yitao said as they were in the backyard, drinking their left over smoothy.  "He is really nice…but he clings on me a lot."

"He does?" Joonxing raised his eyebrow. "He must like you then."

Yitao shrugged. "Eh."

They ce they heard the sliding door open. "Yitao, Baekyeol is here." Tao said as he opened the door more for Baekyeol to go through. "Play nice guys." With that, Tao closed the sliding door.

Baekyeol brightly smiled at the two and immediately made his way over to Yitao, jumping in his seat and squishing them both. "Y-yah! Baekyeol! We are being squished!" Baekyeol on the other hand didn't mind; instead he wrapped his arms around Yitao's neck, snuggling close to him.

Joonxing watched as Yitao was struggling and Baekyeol continued to snuggle up against the panda. Baekyeol glanced across from him, now staring at Joonxing. He blinked a bit before giving the cutest tilt to the side.

"Who are you?"

"Baekyeol, this is my friend Joonxing. He is my mommy's brother's…hm, boyfriend's s-son. Yeah. He is cool because he speaks chinese and korean! Like me!"

Joonxing blushed at the comment and glanced back at Baekyeol, who gave him a smile. "Hello!" The youngest of the three waved at Joonxing. "I'm Baekyeol and I am four years old."

"Um, h-hi. I'm Joonxing…I'm five." He replied, blushing a bit at the other. Yitao witness his friend blushing and started to wonder why.

"Baekyeol." The three children looked up to see Baekhyun walking towards them. "Baekyeol, you didn't eat."

"I'm not hungry mama."

"Ah, ah. You need to eat. You can play with them later. Is that okay guys?" Yitao and Joonxing nodded at Baekhyun. "Thanks guys. Come on Baekyeol." Baekhyun went over to his son and picked him up. "We will be back."

"Hm!" Baekyeol puffed his cheeks at Baekhyun, who only chuckled. As the sliding door closed, the two resumed talking.

"Now you know who Baekyeol is." Yitao said as he nodded his head.

"Hm." Joonxing started to scratch his cheek. "He doesn't look so bad."

"Yah, he clings onto me a lot though."

"Like I said…he must like you a lot. Plus, he is really pretty." He said blushing on the last part.

"Pretty? You like him?"

"Ah," Joonxing started to scratch his head. "I-I don't know. He is  really pretty and nice. I mean, he was nice to me."

Yitao started to worry. "Y-you can't like him though."

"Eh? Why not?"

"Because…because you just can't. He can only be with one person."

"Eh? Then who can he be with?"

"Me." Yitao pointed at himself. "He likes me anyway, so he can only be with me."

"Ha? B-but you said…he bothers you."

"W-well, s-sometimes." Yitao puffed his cheeks. "Sometimes he bothers me…s-so you can't have him."

Joonxing puffed his cheeks as well and crossed his arms. "Fine then."

They didn't speak much after that; the two continued to sit in silence, just the birds tweeting here and there. Soon, the door opened and Baekyeol came out.

"I'm done!" Baekyeol said. "Lets play now?"

"Sure." Yitao hopped off from the chair, as well as Joonxing. Before they could figure out a game, Joonxing told the two that he felt like watching tv instead and passed for play time.

"Huh? B-but why?" Baekyeol asked. "It is nice outside though and I want to play with Joonxing too!"

"Maybe…next time." With that, Joonxing leaned over to Baekyeol and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Yitao's jaw dropped as he witnessed his friend giving the other a kiss on the cheek. Baekyeol on the other hand blushed and his pretty eyes went wide eyed. As Joonxing pulled back he gave Baekyeol the most angelic smile. With that, he walked away, to the sliding door. Yitao turned Baekyeol around, scaring him a bit.

"You can't like him okay."

"H-huh?"

"You just can't okay." Yitao said nervously.

Baekyeol blinked, but let out a sweet smile. "I like Yitao only. You know that!" He then gave Yitao a tight hug, assuring him that he liked him only. "Lets play now?" Yitao could only nod. Baekyeol was about to pull Yitao to the garden when the young panda pulled him back gently. "Eh? Whats wrong?"

Yitao blushed and leaned towards Baekyeol, giving him quick peck at the corner of his lips. It shocked Baekyeol a bit, but within a few seconds the younger squealed.

"Yitao likes me! Yitao likes me!" Baekyeol cupped his own cheeks as he chanted in victory.

Yitao gave a small smile at the other. He grabbed Baekyeol's hand and started to lead him to the garden. "We can play now."

"Will Yitao and I get married like mama and papa?"

"Hm." Yitao pondered a bit. "I guess? I dunno."

Baekyeol beamed and hugged tightly onto Yitao's arm.

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

"Aww! My baby looks so handsome in his uniform." The nanny squealed as he smoothed out Yitao's school uniform. Yitao ended up wearing a long sleeve white polo with a tie that was tugged under the navy vest that he was wearing over his long sleeve shirt, black shorts, black knee highs, and nice black shoes. Two months have passed and today was the day that Yitao and Joonxing attend their first day of school.

Unlike Joonxing, Yitao was slightly nervous going to school. He was excited a week ago, but as the days passed, it started to get to him.

"Where is Joonxing going again?" Tao asked Yixing, in which he replied that it was called Soo Man Elementary. "Ah, I heard that it is a good school too."

"It is. It was either that or Jin Young Foreign School, but it was a little bit too far and Suho wanted a school somewhat closer to Kris' place."

On point, Joonxing came down the stairs with Suho at hand. He was wearing a white polo shirt with a green tie, grey shorts with grey knee high socks, and nice dress shoes.

"I'm ready." Joonxing said. He placed the small back pack that he was holding on the floor to put on the grey, button up sweater that Suho gave him.

"Wah, Joonxing you look handsome too." Tao beamed at the two children. "I can't believe you guys are going to be in school now."

The children smiled at the panda and started to get ready to leave. Chen came right out on time from his and Xiumin's room; he adjusted his coat and took out his keys from his pocket. "Everyone ready?"

"Yeah." Yixing said as he got up from the couch.

"Oh, Chen." Everyone turned to see Kris descending from the stairs. "I'll be taking Yitao to school. Take Yixing, Suho, and Joonxing okay."

"Sure thing Boss."

Everyone bid each other goodbye and as the four left, it was only Kris, Tao, and Yitao. "Ready to go?" Kris asked, in which both pandas nodded. "Then, lets head out."

"Yeah, oh wait!" Tao fished out his cellphone from his scrub pocket. "I want a picture of Yitao's first day of school." He motioned Yitao to stand on the last steps of the stairs. "One quick photo." Yitao stood at the last step and smiled brightly at his 'mother'. After Tao satisfied with the shots, he placed his cellphone in his pocket. "Now we can go." The young panda beamed and ran ahead of the two adults.

As the three left the mansion and entered Kris' car, they started to head to Yitao's school that they signed him up for those months ago. The young panda started to grow nervous as they got closer. Once they arrived, Yitao was now feeling butterflies in his stomach. He blinked once he heard his door being opened, showing his 'mother' smiling at him.

"Ready?" Yitao bore a worried expression, which made Tao worried. "W-whats wrong?"

"I'm scared mommy. I don't want to go anymore."

"Eh? It won't be scary Yitao. It will be fun." Tao assured him as he unbuckled Yitao's seat. "And you will be done in the afternoon so it won't be that long." Tao picked up Yitao and started to carry him in his arms. The young panda rested his head on Tao's shoulder.

"Mommy, I don't want to go."

"It will be fun. Don't worry okay?"

"Whats wrong with Yitao?" Kris asked as he grabbed onto Yitao's backpack.

"I think he has some butterflies in his stomach." Tao started to pat on the young panda's back.

"Oh?" Kris patted his son on the head. "Don't be nervous  Yitao."

"I'm scared."

"Tell you what," The dragon pondered a bit before speaking. "How about…after school…I'll take you out for ice cream."

"Ice cream?" Yitao's head perked up. "Ice cream?"

"Yup, ice cream." He smiled at his son. "But if you want it, you have to go to school."

"Okay!" Yitao wiggled out of Tao's arms and was soon placed on the ground. Kris handed Yitao his backpack and patted his head. "Promise?" The young panda asked, in which Kris nodded.

"Yes. Right after school."

Yitao's face started to beam. "I can't wait!"

The two adults smiled; they brought Yitao to the entrance and to his classroom. The two talked to the teacher, who assured them that Yitao was in good hands. Both Tao and Kris waved goodbye to the young panda, who waved back at his parents. Once they were out of Yitao's sight, he frowned; again he started to feel nervous again.

'I want my mommy.'

"Hi!"

Yitao jumped a bit and turned in his seat. He was now facing a curly, blonde boy, who smiled brightly at him. "U-um, hi." Yitao said shyly.

"My name is Hyunsoo."

"H-Hyunsoo?"

"Yup! And he is my younger twin brother, Junhong." He pointed at another curly blonde boy, who was sitting beside him.

"Twins? You guys don't look it."

"We are fra…hm, fraternal twins."

"What does that mean?"

"Fraternal? Means that…uh…means." Hyunsoo started to ponder a bit. "Means that…we were born on the same day…and…we don't look the same…um…I think."

Yitao blinked and nodded. 'He seems nice.'

"Junhong! Say hello to…to…whats your name?"

"Ah, Yitao. My name is Yitao."

"Say hello to Yitao, Junhong."

Junhong looked over at Yitao and gave a nod. "Hello."

Yitao could only smile. 'I'm making friends! I can't wait to tell mommy and daddy!'

"He looked so nervous." Tao said as Kris started to drive them back home. "You think he will be okay?"

"I'm sure he will be fine." Kris assured. "Plus, we will see him in a few hours. Kindergarden is only up to noon anyway…so that is like 5 to 4 hours."

"Hm." He started to fiddle with the hem of his scrubs. 'I hope so…wow…I'm missing Yitao so much and its only been a few minutes!' As Tao continued to have a mental conversation with himself, Kris would now and then glance at the thought filled nanny. With his right hand, he reached over held onto Tao's left hand.

"He will be fine."

"I-I know." Tao then intertwined their hands together. "I know."

They continued to hold hands and now and then, Kris would glance at their intertwined hands.

'Hm.' With his thumb, he over Tao's hand. 'Something feels…missing.'

"Mommy!!" Yitao ran towards his 'mother' and jumped in his arms.

"Did you have fun?"

"Yeah! I made friends already." He turned to his father with a smile on his face. "I made friends daddy!!"

"I'm happy for you Yitao." Kris smiled at his son.

"Yeah! And I made this for you." He handed Kris a drawing. "Its a dragon because I know that daddy likes them." He swung his backpack around and took out another drawing from his folder. "And one for mommy." He handed Tao a drawing of all three of them.

"Is this all of us?"

"Yeah." He pointed at each person. "This is daddy…and this is me…and this is mommy!"

Tao's heart started to feel warm. "Thank you Yitao. This is very sweet." He gave the young panda a kiss on the cheek. "Mommy loves it very much."

The young panda smiled and placed his folder in his backpack. "Do you like it daddy?" He asked as he swung his backpack around.

"Of course. I'll hang it in my office okay?"

Yitao nodded. "Ice cream now? You didn't forget right?"

"Oh? I promised you that?"

"Daddy! Yes you did!" He turned to Tao. "Right mommy? Daddy promised ice cream!"

"You know that he was just kidding about forgetting. We will get it right now." He held out his hand for Yitao to take, in which the young panda gladly took hold of.

Once they arrived at an Korean and Japanese ice cream shop, they ordered their ice cream, and sat a table near the window.

"Whats this?" Yitao pointed with his spoon at the multi-colored wafer sticks. "I eat that?"

"Yup." Tao said as he scooped up his ice cream with his spoon. "You want to try?" He asked, holding out a pink colored cold treat. "It's strawberry."

Yitao blinked and opened his mouth. Tao chuckled and fed the young panda his ice cream.

"Yitao, eat properly okay." Kris said as he lifted up his cup of coffee. The young panda puffed his cheeks and the two started to have a stare down. It wasn't long until Kris started to let out a laugh.

"Ha! I win!" Yitao said in victory.

"Yes, yes, you win. But still…eat properly okay."

"Okay." Yitao started to scoop up some of ice cream. As they enjoyed the smoothing music and each other's company, Kris found himself starring at Tao's hand once again.

"Yah, Yitao." The voice of the panda, broke his thoughts. He glanced up to see Tao cleaning Yitao's face with a napkin. "Careful…you might get some ice cream on your uniform."

"Hm!" Once Tao was done, Yitao wanted to resume back into eating his ice cream.

"W-wait, let me check first." Tao cupped Yitao's baby cheeks, checking to make sure that he got all the ice cream off his face. "Okay." He said with a smile. "All clean, but here." The panda placed a napkin in front of Yitao, making it as if it was a bib. "Incase the ice cream falls, it will land on the napkin." He told the young panda as he tucked the napkin inside Yitao's shirt.

"But I look like a baby with this." Yitao whined. "I'm not a baby anymore."

"I know, just for a little while okay."

Yitao puffed his cheeks, but didn't want to go against his 'mother's' wishes. He resume back in eating his ice cream, carefully and making sure that it wouldn't land on his clothes.

Kris slightly chuckled and stood up from his seat. The action caught Tao's attention. "Where are you going?"

"Restroom. I'll be back." Tao nodded and went back in eating his ice cream.

As Kris made his way over to the restroom, he was stopped by an employee. "I just wanted to tell you, that you have a very cute family."

"O-oh, thank you."

The employee smiled and nodded at the taller. She returned back in cleaning the counter and Kris made his way to the restroom.

'We are huh?'

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

Kris leaned back at the head of his bed as he organized some papers that were scattered all over on his bed. He was getting ready to open his stores at the four designated locations. He took off his glasses and started to rub his eyes.

'Tired.'

He let out an exhale and placed his glasses back on. It was currently 11am and he has been up since yesterday morning, getting everything all set. Not only him, but Hayi was also organizing papers herself. Both were working hard, but none had the time to rest.

The door opened to and Kris glanced up to see Tao with a cup of coffee at hand.

"Coffee?"

"Um," Once again, the dragon took off his glasses. "Yeah, thanks babe."

As Tao placed the cup on the night stand, he didn't leave right away, but sat on the floor, resting his head at the edge of the bed. He watched as Kris continued to organize his papers.

'He is working so hard.'

Kris glanced down at the staring panda. "Hey," He gently tapped Tao's head with the papers that he was holding. "Watching me work?"

"Hm." The panda responded. "That must be a lot…why don't you rest?"

"I love to, but I don't have time."

"Not even for five minutes?"

"Not even." Tao pouted and stood up from the floor. He leaned over and gathered all the left over scattered paper. "H-hey, Tao, I need to look at those."

"You need to rest…you have been working since yesterday and no sleep. You are going to strain yourself and that is not good." Tao said as he placed the papers on the floor; he then climbed onto the bed and sat in-between kris' legs, now resting his back against Kris' chest.

"What are you doing?"

"You need to take a break." Tao searched for Kris' hand and patted it. "Working hard is good, but now and then it is good to rest…for at least five minutes."

Kris wanted to protest, but decided not to. Instead he wrapped his arms around the panda's waist, hugging and snuggling up against him. He rested his head on Tao's shoulder and inhaled a bit of the other's scent.

Tao let out a small chuckle and patted the other's arm. He glanced down and notice that on Kris' left hand bore no wedding ring. The panda's eyes widen. 'His ring is gone? B-but he always wears it!'

"K-Kris."

"Hm?"

"Y-your ring is gone! What happened to it?"

"Oh its --"

"Did you lose it?

"What? No, its just back in its case." Tao scooted forward as Kris leaned over to the night stand, opening the drawer up. He took out a velvet box and opened it, revealing his ring. "See."

Tao let out a sigh of relief. "Thank god."

The dragon chuckled. "You were worried that I lost it?"

"Well, yeah. It is a memory that you and Tai were together. She may be gone, but it is a nice memory of your time with her."

"Yeah." He nodded. "Its still here. Kept safe." He placed the velvet box back in his drawer. "You want to see Tai's ring?" Tao nodded and waited for the other to take it out. As Kris opened the box, it showed a beautiful Arabella 14k white gold ring.

"Whoa! It's so pretty!" The dragon noticed how Tao's eyes started to sparkle. Tao continued to admire the ring before Kris closed it. "It really is beautiful." Kris gave a simple nod before placing the velvet box back in the drawer. He rubbed his eye a bit and gave a yawn. "Take a nap." Tao told him. He got up, but before he could go any further, Kris grabbed his hand.

"Nap with me."

"Hm?" Tao blinked a couple of times, before giving a smile. "Sure." He got back on the bed and laid next to the taller. The two started to drift off to sleep and soon, both were completely sleeping, with Kris holding tightly onto Tao.

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

Luhan made his way up the steps holding onto a plate of cookies that made with the help of Xiumin. He figured that Tao was with Kris and that was his first destination. As he was standing in front of the door, he pressed his ear against the door, realizing that there was no one talking. 'Eh?' He slowly opened the door and noticed that both the panda and the dragon were asleep. Luhan smiled and closed the door gently. "I'll just come back later."

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

Kris exhaled and slowly opened his eyes. He rubbed his eyes and gave out a yawn. 'I napped…thats right.' He checked his watch and noticed that it was already 2 in the afternoon; he glanced over to see Tao still sleeping peacefully as well as a young panda between them. He chuckled a bit. 'Guess he came in here earlier...and wanted to sleep too.' He brushed some Yitao's hair away from his eyes. The young panda stirred and turned over to face Tao completely.

The dragon sat up straight and continued to watch Tao and Yitao sleep. Soon, Tao's arm draped over Yitao's waist and his left arm went under Yitao's head, hand gently placed on top of the younger's head.

Again, Kris found himself staring at Tao's left hand. He looked at his own left hand and back at the other's.

'Hm.'

He gently picked up Tao's left hand and leaned down, giving it a kiss.

'Love you.'
