I look around for Y/n and see her in the backyard with the kids

I look around for Y/n and see her in the backyard with the kids. I see Cooper tackle Nate and I widen my eyes. I pick Ellie up and Charlie follows me outside.

"Attaboy!" Y/n says.

"What's going on?!" I ask.

"Fun!" Y/n says.

"Fun is you making our children tackle each other?!" I ask helping, Nate up.

"I wanna play!" Charlie says.

"No." I say.

"The kids are fine." Y/n says.

"Are they?!" I ask.

"C'mon." I say.

Everyone follows me back inside and Y/n locks the back door.

"I don't understand what the big deal is." Y/n says.

"Someone's gonna get hurt." I say.

"I disagree." Y/n says.

"Of course you do." I say.

"Raise your hand if you think mommy is being a party-pooper." Y/n says

Everyone raises their hand and I roll my eyes.

We used Y/n's brother for a donor and they are nothing alike but these kids act exactly like her. When Y/n and I got married, I convinced her to actually let me have 4 kids. We ended up with all boys and only one girl. Cooper is 6, Nate is 5, Charlie is 2, and Ellie is 4 months.

"I'm sorry but I'd rather not take my kids to a hospital because they have a concussion." I say.

"Mhm, whatever." Y/n says.

"I'll deal with you later." I say.

"Ooh, you're in trouble." Cooper says.

"Shut up." Y/n says.

Cooper giggles and Y/n smiles.

4 hours later...

"You've been ignoring me." Y/n says getting in bed beside me.

"I ignore people who ignore me." I say.

"Oh, c'mon. Me and the kids were just having fun." Y/n says.

"Y/n, I expressed a valid concern to you and you dismissed it." I say.

"I'm sorry." Y/n says.

"You always say that." I say.

"I mean it. I just want to create memories with the kids. Like the memories I have with my dad." She says.

"That's fine but do it safely." I say.

"Alright." She says.

"Let me make it up to you." She says.
