Filler

(This chapter is a filler for me not updating for a while. Sorry if it's a short chapter.)

Carla woke up earlier than she usually does. She crawled out of bed and picked up the twins' toys that were scattered around the floor. She threw the toys into a bag as she picked up some clothes that were on the floor.

She placed the clothes into a basket and walked downstairs. She put the dirty clothes into the washing machine and began to make breakfast. Or some odd reason,Carla had a lot of energy this morning,something that she never has.

After cooking breakfast, she put a piece of toast in her mouth as she picked up the living room,stepping over Frank, who was on the floor. "Ugh..what the hell are you doing?" Frank grumbled.

Carla didn't reply as she made sure the living room was clean before running upstairs,where David was finishing getting dressed. "You're already awake? You usually don't get up until six." David said.

"Yep. I just woke up with some energy." Carla stretched her arms and legs. David looked at her,he had a gut feeling that it was a manic episode,but he really wanted to be wrong.

"Can you watch the twins for a while?" Carla asked as she put her shoes on. "Yeah. Where are you-" David began to say,but Carla was already running downstairs and outside.

David sighed as he checked on the twins. He really hoped that Carla wasn't having a bipolar episode. He walked into the room and dug through the drawers.

After a couple seconds,he found what he was looking for. Carla's medication. He huffed when he found the bottle empty. "Great." He mumbled quietly as he put the bottle down.

He walked out of the bedroom as Carl walked out of his. "Hey,Carl. Has Carla ever had any bipolar episodes before?" David asked as he crossed his arms.

Carl yawned. "Oh for sure. The first time she had one,we were at military school. Then she had one after her and her ex boyfriend got into a fight."

David nodded as he listened to Carl explain. "But..she hasn't had one in a while." Carl added as he walked into the bathroom.

~~

After about an hour,Carla walked into the house,panting. "What..did you go on a run?" David asked as he sat a plate in front of Emma. "Yeah..I did," Carla nodded as she walked upstairs to take a shower.

David ran his fingers through his hair as he sat next to Mateo. After a couple minutes,Carla walked downstairs and started to clean the kitchen counters.

"Baby. Maybe you should sit down and eat something." David stood up,but,of course,Carla didn't listen as she continued to clean up.

"Carla." David grabbed her hands and made her look at him. "You need to sit." He said. "I can't. I have a lot of energy today." Carla pulled her hands out of his grip as she picked Emma up.

Carla picked up Mateo. "Let's go get dress." She smiled as she held the twins and walked upstairs.

David was left standing in the kitchen. He pitched the bridge of his nose. "It could be worse." He mumbled to himself.

~~

A couple days have passed and Carla wasn't doing better. She was now in a depression episode. David's assumption was right.

"Carl,she'll get better,right?" David asked as he looked at his room that Carla was lying in. "Yeah she will. It might take a few days or even weeks. But she'll be back to normal soon." Carl patted David's shoulder. "Try not to stress it too much,dude."

David nodded as he watched Carl walk downstairs. Emma tugged at his sleeve. "Daddy? Is mommy okay?" Emma asked.

David looked down at Emma. "Of course she will,honey. Mommy's just tired." He rubbed her head. Emma nodded as she walked into her and Mateo's room.

David rubbed his face as he walked into the bedroom. "Carla? How are you feeling today?" He sat at the end of the bed and rubbed Carla's leg.

Carla didn't reply. She stared at the wall. "I'm going to go to the pharmacy and get you more of your meditation,okay?" David spoke softly as he continued to rub Carla's leg.

Carla nodded slightly as David gave her a kiss on the cheek before leaving.

Y/n: okay. Short filler chapter. I'm sorry for not updating in a while but the next actual chapter is almost finished. I've been procrastinating on it, but I'm not going to do that anymore so..but anyway I appreciate all your patience
