If you play with fire.. you get burned

Chapter 85

As time went by, Mila and Marcus were getting more and more terrible and every day they did something. One day while Mila and Marcus were at the station, Elena and Eleonor left for just two minutes to go check on lunch and the two twins climbed on the couch and then threw themselves on the floor.

Elena: "No, stop" she said as soon as she returned to Mila and Marcus and the two of them were about to jump off the couch again.

Mila-Marcus: "Yesss" they answered together and then jumped on the floor laughing.

Marcus: "Again" he said clapping his hands.

Mila: "Yes" she answered in agreement with her brother and they both climbed back onto the couch and were ready to jump again.

Elena: "No, you won't do it this time" she said trying to catch them so that they wouldn't jump off the couch again.

Marcus: "Noooo, grandma, stop"

Eleonor: "What's happening?"

Elena: "We left them alone for two minutes and they climbed onto the couch and are jumping on the floor"

Eleonor: "Are they getting angry because they got caught?" Elena nodded. "We have to find something to distract them"

Daniel: "Who do you have to distract?"

Elena: "Them. They want to keep jumping off the couch"

Daniel: "And what's the problem?" he said, picking up the twins.

Eleonor: "Did you understand what they were doing?"

Daniel: "Yes, of course, but it's not the first time they've done it" Elena and Eleonor looked at Daniel in a rather confused way. "Just put the pillows on the floor and then they jump on them and that way they won't hurt themselves"

Elena: "How many times have they done this before?"

Daniel: "Enough"

Elena: "So what they were doing before is your fault?"

Daniel: "Probably yes" Elena and Eleonor shook their heads. "Don't get mad at them, just get mad at me"

Eleonor: "Do you want to be punished?" she asked with a slightly mischievous tone.

Daniel: "Well.. it could be fun" he replied, smiling mischievously as he arranged the pillows for Mila and Marcus.

The two children then called their grandfather's attention and then both gave Daniel a tender kiss on the cheek and then climbed back onto the sofa and continued throwing themselves on the floor. Daniel then stayed with the twins while Elena and Eleonor finished taking care of lunch.

Daniel: "You two little angels.." he said referring to Mila and Marcus. "You don't have to worry grandma Elena and grandma Eleonor. When you want to do the jumps, just ask, okay?" Mila and Marcus nodded. "Now let's do some more jumps and then go give your grandmas a kiss, okay?"

Mila-Marcus: "Yes" they answered together.

Eleonor and Elena had heard what Daniel had said to the children and smiled. In the meantime the team was still outside on a call and so the children had a little more time to play. Both Elena and Eleonor had asked the twins if they wanted to have lunch, since it was lunch time, but they said no because they wanted to eat with mom and dad. In these last weeks Mila and Marcus wanted to have lunch only with their parents when they were at the station and so in the meantime Eleonor gave them a little snack. Since the team still had a lot of time before they could finish that call, Elena and Eleonor, with the help of Daniel, tried to convince Mila and Marcus to have lunch.
