Have kids they said...   -   Zane

"Reo. You better not drop that." I warn my daughter. Reo and Rosie are our twins. Reo is intersex like me, and Rosie is like her mom. Reo is a troublemaker. She is a brat. And only Leila can get her under control. And where is Leila? At work.

"Reo... Don't you dare..." I warn her again. She is holding a vase. And not just any vase. A vase Leila made. I will kill this girl if she breaks it before Leila kills me.

Rosie runs into the room and sees the situation. "Reo... That's Mama's vase... You can't break it. Mama will kill you." Rosie says warning her sister. Reo sighs and gives me the vase. Just as she's about to hand it to me, the door opens scaring all of us and making Reo drop the vase on the floor.

I gulp at the front door and see Leila looking at the floor where the broken vase is. She looks back up at the girls and me and I can tell the pure rage in her eyes will stop at nothing. "What the hell happened?" She asks calmly.

I gulp once more before answering. "Reo dropped the vase." I point to my eldest daughter. Reo has a look of betrayal on her face. 

"No, it was papa! She broke it!" Reo yelled at me pointing her finger at me.

"Rosie, what happened?" Leila asks.

"I heard noises and came here and saw Reo holding the vase and Papa warning her not to throw it and I told her that you'll be mad if she throws it and when she was about to give it to papa you came in and scared us all and Reo dropped the vase," Rosie tells her mom.

"Tattletale..." Reo mumbles under her breath but I hear it.

"Reo, stay here. Rosie and Zane, go clean this up." She says, once again calmly which scares us all even more. I and Rosie scurry away to clean up the vase. We can hear Leila scolding Reo as we clean and run away.

"Is everything ok?" I ask her as I hug her around the waist. She spits the toothpaste and rinses her mouth with mouthwash.

She turns around back to me and wraps her arms around my neck. "Yeah... Reo cried and I almost broke. But she needs to understand that she can't do whatever she wants. I took her squashmallows but not her emotional support one." She says.

"The blue bear?" I ask.

"Mhm, the blue bear was left with her but everything else was taken. She can't have nice things for herself if she breaks and ruins mine, ours. When I left the room I saw her sneaking into Rosie's bed." She hums. 

We walk to the bed and I snuggle up to her chest with my arms around her waist. "That's ok. They have each other. Let's just hope when she's older she is calmer like her sister, but I doubt it." I mumble and fall asleep.
