The Kids Aren't Alright | Closed.

"I know," Matt said. "And you'll get to see her this weekend. She's very busy taking care of RJ right now."

---

Zacky smiled. "She has your cute nose," he said.

Elizabeth leaned forward and pecked Zack's lips. "You both make me so happy."

---

"Okay," he sniffled.

Matt smiled slightly and pulled Aiden into his arms. "I love you so much, Aiden," he murmured. "I hate when you're mad at me."

---

Zacky smiled at her and kissed her forehead. "I'm gonna go shower," he said.

"Alright," Elizabeth mumbled. "After you're done I'll have dinner ready for us."

---

"I sorry daddy," Aiden sniffled.

Matt kissed the top of his head. "It's okay, bud," he said. "How about I take you and Jacob to the park tomorrow? We can feed the ducks if you want."

---

Zacky smiled. "Sounds great," he said, kissing her cheek before he went to their room to get undressed.

Elizabeth fed and changed their daughter, taking her downstairs with her when it was time to eat.

---

Aiden nodded. "I love the ducks," he grinned.

Zacky jumped in the shower, washing his body and his hair.

---

Matt grinned. "I know," he said. "Maybe I'll even ask Uncle Jimmy if he'll come."

Elizabeth made a plate for herself and Zack, deciding to wait until he came down to give him a beer to go with it like he usually liked.

---

Aiden giggled. "Park with Uncle Jimmy is fun."

Matt smiled and nodded. "I'll call and ask," he said.

---

Zacky dried off and got dressed, going downstairs. "Hey baby," he said.

"Do you want a beer with dinner tonight," Elizabeth asked. "We also have wine too."

---

Aiden grinned. He loved time with his uncle Jimmy almost as much as he loved spending him with his aunt Lizzie.

"Do you want to finish the movie?" Matt asked.

---

Zacky bit his lip. "Wine sounds good," he said.

"White or red," Elizabeth asked.

---

Aiden nodded. "Yes please daddy."

Matt smiled and took his hand, leading him back to the living room and pulling him into his lap as he sat down.

---

"White," Zacky said.

Elizabeth grabbed Zack a glass of white wine, pecking his lips when he handed it to him.

---

Aiden leaned into his dad, falling asleep the further the movie got.

Matt looked down when the movie was over, smiling when he saw Aiden was asleep. He picked him up and carried him upstairs to his and Val's room, laying him next to Jacob before climbing in beside them.

---

Zacky reached up and held her face in place, kissing her passionately.

Elizabeth smiled against Zack's lips as she kissed him back. She really hoped everything would finally be going back to normal.

---

Val cuddled closer to Matt, resting her head on his chest before she fell back asleep again.

Matt watched as everyone slept, sighing softly. All he could think about was what he had done with Elizabeth and feel extremely guilty for it.

---

Zacky smiled at her. "Are you going to eat with me?" he asked.

Elizabeth nodded. "When I have you home with me I don't want us having Rae to change how we used to be."

Zacky frowned. "Nothing is going to change," he said.

"It already has in the past couple weeks," Elizabeth stated. "Before we had Rae we could find ways to have sex in a cramped closest and today was the first time in weeks we've had sex." She sat down across from Zack at the table, holding Rae in one arm while she ate with her free hand.
