"At least I kept mine!" Dana jabbed back coldly over her shoulder as she huffed, ushering the kids still. "We'll talk in the car, honey." |

Susie shot back some expletives that had Declan's entire face shriveling with a sad, confused little frown. He reached up to fuss at his face as his tears started to come, but never much of a loud crier, he simply simpered.
((FF))
Dixon had wanted to surprise his little family and got an earlier flight home than the one he'd originally gotten. He had Griffin come pick him up from the airport and bring him home, which he was surprised to find empty. He took the opportunity to load his clothes from the trip into the wash and did some tidying around the house so Dana wouldn't have to when she got home.
He was in the midst of wiping down the coffee table when he heard the family car pull up and his whole face lit up as he hurried to finish. He got up and went to the kitchen to put up the cleaning supplies and went back to wait in the living room. He was already grinning when he could hear everyone unloading from the car and heading to the door, but that grin was quick to disappear when Declan was the first into the house and was clearly upset with a dripping nose and soggy, red cheeks.
"Deccy, son, what's wrong?" Dixon instantly went to meet his youngest (for now) as he entered and Declan immediately let himself be gathered up into Dixon's arms. The tot continued to simper quietly as Dixon looked up to Dana and Dixie as they entered. |

Dana's face was still irritated as she carried things to the dining room while Dixie's lips were pursed in confusion as she headed over to her father. "Someone yelled at Mama, Daddy." |

"What? Who?" Dixon looked to Dana then while making room in his arms for Dixie too. |

"That- urghh." Dana bit back many 'bad words' as she tried to relax, going to put things away from their trip to the grocery store before the book store. "Susie. From school." |

"Susie?" Dixon said, making a face. He couldn't even remember a Susie. He gave Dixie a firm smooch on her cheek before peeling back from Declan to wipe his little face so he could do the same for him. "Why was she yelling at you?" He asked, still very much stuck in place by his kids. |

"We should talk about it when Deccy feels better and when they go to wash up for dinner." Dana said pointedly, rubbing at her sore head. |

Dixon furrowed his brows and pulled back from both of his babies to look at them. He looked at Dixie and reached up to push back some of her hair.
"Dixie girl, can you take Deccy to the bathroom to help him wash up his face? He's got some ucky on his nose." He asked, knowing she was more and more keen on being the big girl now. |

Dixie nodded. "Mh-hm!" she said, going to take Declan's hand. "C'mon Deccy." she said gently. |

Deccy sniffed and nodded before taking his sister's hand and allowing himself to be led away.
"Be careful on your step-up stool." Dixon called after the two of them as they shuffled away. He proceeded to get up from where he was crouched and went to the kitchen where Dana was putting things up. He managed to gently catch her shoulders from behind and gave a gentle rub. "Dana, what did she say? What has you all worked up, Mama?" |

Dana huffed, leaning into the touch. "That fucking bitch was accusing you of cheating on me and kept calling the kids your kids while looking at Declan pointedly about everything!" |

"Excuse me?" Dixon said, pulling his hands back only so he could walk around to better look at Dana. "She said what?" |

"She was purposefully putting you down and accusing you of things and trying to piss me off like I fucking went and pissed in her damn cereal!" Dana huffed, pushing her hair out of her face. |

Dixon could feel himself getting worked up, enough to make him want to go find Susie and give her an earful of unkind words, but when he saw Dana fussing and stressing, he forced it all down and huffed out his nose instead. He reached out to push her hair back for her and cup her face gently.
"Well, I kind of wish you had taken a piss in her cereal, but let's not get worked up, D. It's not good for you or babies." He said, still clearly bothered himself but wanting Dana to relax. He pet at her face with his thumbs. |

Dana looked up at him, feeling angry and upset tears starting to build up. "B-But how dare she! She has NO idea what we've been through or how much that little boy is mine through and through!" |
