"But dad, I don't wanna go to school!" Lucy pouts, dragging the 'a' in dad. 

"It'll be fun. You have nap time!" I giggle, Lucy crosses her little arms over her chest and huffs softly.

"Hey, no huffing. You're a little lady, now stand up straight for mama." Frank scolds lightly.

Lucy sticks her tongue out at him and stomps her foot, Frank growls softly as a warning. She instantly straightens her posture, her hands at her sides.

"Yes ma'am- uh- sir?" Lucy asks, "Sir." Frank says.

"Sir."

"Now, get on that school bus and make some friends and some pretty work to put on the fridge." Frank chuckles, kissing Lucy and Lucas' forehead gently. They smile and kiss his cheek.

I bend down and kiss their noses, then accept the little pecks on my cheeks. "Have fun my little angles." I coo, patting their heads, then watch them climb the steps of the bus, squealing happily. I grin and hug Frank's waist, kissing his head gently.

"You're hair smells like strawberries." I giggle, "I stole your hair stuff." Frank chuckles, nuzzling his nose into my neck, I smile, "Of course you did. Just like you stole me heart." I murmur, "Oh you big teddy bear!" He laughs. "Can't help it, you did this to me." I grumble, blushing deeply.

"And I'm glad. You used to be a grouch, especially around children." Frank laughs, patting my chest lightly.

"Mommy! Daddy!" Lucy squeals, running into the house with Lucas behind her. "Whatty whatty?" I giggle, scooping Lucy up, Frank picking Lucas up. "Look at my drawing of us!" She squeals, holding up a paper.

I grin at the stick drawings, "It's beautiful baby girl!" I squeal, tapping it on the fridge. 

Lucas pouts and rests his head on Frank's chest, "I don't wanna go back to school." He whispers, sniffling a bit. "Everyone made fun of me because I have a twin that's a girl. And this boy in first grade pushed me off the swing and scraped my hand." He whimpers.

I frown and set Lucy down, "Go play in your room baby." I murmur, she nods and bounces out happily. "Lucas, what happened?" I ask softly. Lucas just shakes his head, "No. I didn't even do anything." He whispers, tears leaking down his cheeks slowly.

"Oh baby boy, of course you didn't." Frank says softly, kissing his ear. Frank bounces Lucas lightly and starts to sing quietly. "No! It's Lucy's fault! I wish I didn't have a twin!" He screams. 

Lucy stands at the doorway with watery eyes. "Lucas! You apologize to your sister right now!" I scold, he shakes his head.

I take him from Frank and pop him on the butt and set him in the corner, "You stay here for ten minutes and think about what your said! Look, you made your sister cry!" Frank scolds.

I pick Lucy up as she sobs into her hands, "D-didn't mean to be a girl! I'm sorry!" She cries. "No baby, don't say that. None of this is your fault. Lucas is just upset, he didn't mean any of that, I promise." I whisper in her ear. 

"Come on, let's go lay down and snuggle, yeah?" I ask her softly, Lucy sniffles and nods, nuzzling into my neck cutely. 

"Alright baby, let's go." I say, taking her to my room, laying her in the middle of the bed, then lay down with her, holding her close. 

I sing quietly and play with Lucy's hair, soon she falls asleep. 

A/N: This would be longer, but my head really hurts right now and I have another story to work on and I'm having writers block right now. I'm sorry for the drama, it's the best I could make up. I think I'm gonna end this pretty soon... -Rachel
