-------------------

You sat on the bathroom floor, enjoying the first moment to yourself you had had in weeks. Don't get the wrong idea. You loved your life, husband, and kids, but, sometimes you just needed a moment to breathe.

"Y/N!" Chris called. "Can you come help?"

You sighed and got to your feet. Well, at least that was longer than last time. "Coming!" you answered as you exited the bathroom. You walked into to the kitchen to find Chris standing there with an expression that was a mixture of "I'm sorry" and "I'm trying not to laugh". You turned to your right at the sound of giggles and clapping.

"Mason! Noah!" You exclaimed in shock. Your twin boy sat in their high chairs, happily slapping tomato sauce on anything within a five feet radius. "It's even in your hair!" You laughed walking over to your boys.

"Mama!" Noah giggled reaching out his arms. You shook your head and smiled.

"I turned around for one second, heard a boom, and then found this" Chris chuckled motioning to the mess.

You picked up the bowls off the floor and set them on the counter. "I think it's time for a bath."

Chris nodded, "I'll get it ready." He walked over to the sink and rinsed it out before putting the drain plugs on both sides. For some reason, it was easier, and faster, if you each took a kid and bathed them separately in your sink.

You cleaned up the floor and walls, deciding to not even bother with the high chairs till the messy one-year-olds were out of them. You took Mason out of his chair and stripped off his sauce covered cloths. "Oh no, you don't!" You chuckled as Mason tried to rub his hands on your face.

"You can put it him," Chris announced. You walked over and placed the giggly baby into the warm water. You used a plastic cup to pour some water over his head, using your hand to shield his eyes. Beside you, Chris put Noah into his own bath. Both boys laughed and splashed around in the water.

"Hey!" You laughed dodging some water. Mason smiled up at you with an innocent expression on his face. "They learned that from you."

Chris simply looked at you with the same innocent expression Mason had and you could not stop yourself from chuckling. He grabbed the bottle of body soap and squirted some into his hands before scrubbing Noah's arms and tummy. Noah broke out into fits of giggles as Chris tickled the little boy's sides.

Sadly, all of Noah's squirming caused some water to be splashed at Mason who was not happy about this. Mason let out a whine and slashed his brother. Noah took this as a declaration of war. Before you or Chris could say anything, the toddlers were splashing each other at an increasing rate.

"Boys! No splashing! Sto- "You gasped and stepped back, your chest now covered with water. You looked to your husband, who now had that damn innocent expression on his face. Oh, now it truly was a war.

"Okay, I'll admit, the extensive use of soap was uncalled for."

"And, I guess, so was dumping ice from the freezer down your pants."

"You didn't have to do it down the front" Chris muttered, shuddering at the memory.

You shook your head and smiled before turning back to the squirming toddler before you. "You know, this would go a lot quicker if you would just stay still!"

"Ah, but where would be the fun in that?" Chris laughed. Mason blew bubbles up at you and smiled.

Somehow, the two of you manage to get the twins in their second pair of dry pajamas. Do not ask about the first. It was a traumatic experience for Dodger and he does not like to talk about it.

You lay the boys in their cribs and make sure the baby monitor is on before quietly exiting the room. Both you and Chris let out a sigh of relief when you plop down onto the couch.

"Does this ever get easier?"

"Doubt it, how's Dodger?"

You look over to the dining room, "Still hiding underneath the table."

"I'll get him out from under there if he hasn't moved in the morning," Chris sighed. "Do you think he'll ever recover?"

"He did okay last time, might take a while before he'll play with them again though" You giggled. You snuggled closer to your husband as he wrapped his arm around you. You felt Chris kiss the top of your head and you smiled.

"You wanna watch- "The sound of two babies screaming interrupted Chris and he sighed.

"Told you we shouldn't have tried this"

"But the book said it's not healthy to- "

"I don't give a damn about those parenting books because right now, their advice is why my sons aren't sleeping" You growled as you made your way upstairs.

You entered the bedroom and walked over to Noah. "It's okay, mama's here" You soothed as you took the child in your arms. His screams came down to a small whimper as you walked across the room. Mason calmed down as well when his brother was finally laid beside him. Both boys were asleep within seconds.

"I don't understand," Chris spoke, now standing in the doorway. "They're over a year old and have yet to be able to sleep apart."

You shrugged. "Maybe they don't like being alone. I think it makes them feel safe." Chris walked over and wrapped his arms around your waist.

"I have never known any siblings to act like this, and I have three."

"Maybe it's a twin thing" You whispered.
