All five of the boys surrounded her and asked anxiously, “What's wrong, Jesse?”

Jesse shot Benjamin a glance, prompting Gavin, Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper to glare fiercely at him.

Even Tim was staring at Benjamin with a curious look on his face.

“Did you do something to scare Jesse?” Gavin asked.

Benjamin let out a helpless sigh as he looked at all six of his kids. He noticed that Tim was the only one not hostile toward him. If anything, Tim looked like he was confused instead.

“It's not my fault he's such a scaredy-cat!” Benjamin snapped back at him.

Gavin snorted defiantly. “Hmph! Of course it's your fault! What, do you feel proud of yourself for making Jesse afraid of you?”

Benjamin's eyelids twitched slightly. “I just wanted to give her a hug!”

Gavin paused and turned around to look at Jesse. “Daddy wanted to hug you?”

Jesse nodded at him in response, much to everyone's relief.

Jasper gave her a light smack on the forehead. “And here I thought he was going to hit you!”

As Jesse held her head low in shame, Tim patted her on the forehead and said, “No hitting!”

Jesse flashed Tim a bright smile and said, “You're such a nice brother, Tim!”

Jasper simply shot her a warning glare in response and kept quiet after that.

“What are you freaking out about, Jesse? It's just a hug! Besides, this isn't the first time Daddy has hugged you! Quit being such a drama queen!” Zachary teased her with a chuckle.

“Yeah! Daddy's just trying to be nice to you, so why are you running from him?” Oliver chimed in as well.

Jesse simply stuck her tongue out in response while Zachary patted her on the head.

Jesse pointed at his clothes and said, “Zachary, you didn't button up your clothes...”

“We got worried when we heard you screaming, so we came rushing out before we could get dressed!” Zachary mumbled as he and the other boys continued buttoning up their clothes.

“Is Mommy still showering?” Gavin asked.

“Yeah, she only started showering after she was done bathing me!”

“Come on, let's go to her room!”

Jasper then grabbed Tim by the hand and ran off toward the bedroom.

“Hey, kids! Come here and drink your milk!” Benjamin called out to them.

The six of them stared at him for a bit before making their way over.

“Be careful, it's hot!”

Benjamin said as he poured the milk from the jug into separate glasses.

Seeing as there was still some milk left in the jug, Gavin suggested, “You should pour Mommy a glass too!”

Benjamin shot him a glance as he replied, “I will when she comes out.”

Hmm... This kid sure knows how to care for his mommy these days...

Gavin handed Tim a glass of milk before getting one for himself.

“Tim, we'll go to bed after we finish our milk!”

Tim nodded and started drinking his milk when he saw them all chugging theirs down.
