*Cathy's POV*

It's been about a week since me and the twins have spoken to each other and honestly I can't help but think that just maybe I was too hard on them. I've made a ton of mistakes based on the the things I knew in the past so maybe I shouldn't have been so quick to snap on them.

"Babe." Tommy whispered giving me a kiss on the cheek breaking me away from my thoughts. We were supposed to be watching a movie it's literally 3am and we both couldn't sleep.

"Hm?" I answered.

"What are you thinking about?" He intertwined our fingers together as we laid on the couch.

"The twins." He sighed.

"What about them?"

"I sort of feel bad now."

"Then apologize," I groaned in response and Tommy scoffed. "You two are so much alike it's unbelievable." I sat up turning around slightly.

"Who?"

"You and Ara." He answered. "Both of you would let guilt eat you alive if it means you won't have to apologize first." I dramatically gasped.

"That's not true, If I'm wrong I always apologize to you first."

"Yeah, to me, who else have you apologized to first?" He raised a brow and I tried to find an answer but I found none. I reached behind me grabbing a pillow and I hit him in the face with it.

"Okay, now you want to be rude, get off of me," Tommy playfully pushed me off of his as he tried to stand up.

"No come back!" I laughed pulling him back down and jumping into his arms.

"This should be considered kidnapping." He smiled up at me.

"Oh, but I haven't tied you up yet." I responded with a smirk.

"Kinky." I heard another sarcastic voice say from the kitchen and I rolled my eyes.

"What's your stress Ben?" I asked as I heard the refrigerator door close.

"Insomnia." He answered sitting on the kitchen counter with the water bottle plopping a pill into his mouth and swallowing it.

"What's yours?" Ben questioned but before I could answer or say anything else a soft sleepy voice from the stairs caught our attention.

"Babe? Are you.... Okay?" Nat asked softly rubbing her eyes clearly still half asleep and Ben sighed.

"I was trying not to wake you." He hopped down from the counter placing the bottle down and heading over to his wife. He gave her a kiss on the forehead grabbing her hand and leading her back to their bedroom.

"Goodnight." Ben said and we said it back. I looked at Tommy getting comfortable on top of him.

"If you don't like the fighting, then stop fighting." He wrapped his hands around me and not long after I fell asleep.

*The Next Morning*

My eyes slowly opened letting beams of light come through, I looked around and realized that I'm not only alive but I'm in our bedroom.
