Bodyguard (Being Edited)

???

Mikkel walks into his house, sighing as he drops his heavy work bag down at the door.

"Tiff!"he yells, stepping out of his shoes and turning around.

He sees the house silent, most of the lights off.

He chuckles, taking his jacket off and hanging it on the coat rack.

"Tiffany! Babe?"he shouts, slowly walking into the living room.

Still no answer.

He walks towards the stairs slowly, eyeing the kitchen as he does.

"Tiffany I'm not playing around!"He says, annoyed.

"Fuckin bullshit."he sighs, walking up the stairs towards the bedroom.

The rooms were still eerily silent, and he puts his hands on his hips.

"Alright, I give up."he says loudly.

Suddenly, he feels something hit him in the legs from behind and he grunts before falling to his knees.

Then, he feels something climbing on his back, as another suspicious figure hits him in the stomach, knocking him to the ground.

He feels himself being pulled into a chokehold, one not quite strong enough to cut airflow, and he chuckles.

"Tap out papa!"He hears.

Mikkel instantly taps on the small arm around his neck, and he's released.

The lights come on, and the giggling of his children fills the hall.

"We got you so good papa!"One says.

"Yes you did!"he says, still laying down.

"Papa get up!"The one other one says as Tiffany steps out of the bedroom, rubbing her eyes.

"I can't, gravity is doing its thing."Mikkel says as Tiffany puts her hands on her hips.

"Luka! Allie!"Tiffany shouts, causing both children and Mikkel to sit up and look at her.

"Oh, you guys are gonna get it now."Mikkel says before grunting and sitting up.

"It's 2 in the morning what are you two doing out of bed?!"Tiffany asks angrily.

"We wanted to see daddy."Allie pouts, quickly going to stand next to her brother.

"We got him so good Ma! You should've seen the look on his face!"Luka says.

"Do you see my face?"Tiffany says with a stern expression.

"Mommy don't do the mad face."Allie says, hiding behind Mikkel as he chuckles.

"Alicia, Luka, go to bed now."she demands.

Both children instantly look up at Mikkel, and he instantly sighs before looking up at Tiffany.

"Mikkel, no."She demands, folding her arms.

"Tiff c'mon, they're double teaming me with the puppy dog eyes."Mikkel whines.

"They're 7 years old and they need sleep to grow."she says.

"Pleeeaaassee mommy?"Allie begs.

"Please? Pretty please? Just another hour?"Luka says.

Then they both start to approach her, puppy dog eyes in full swing.

"...oh my gosh, fine."Tiffany huffs.

Both children jump for joy and instantly run back to their father, jumping into his arms.

"Yay! What do you guys say, huh? Movie night with mom and dad?"he asks, carrying them both towards the bedroom.

"Yes!"they say simultaneously.

.....

Tiffany

I look down at Allie who was mouth open sleeping next to me, and I chuckle slightly.

I look over at Mikkel who had Luka snoozing on his chest.

"I told you we should've let them go to sleep."I say softly, causing him to look over at me.

"I like this more."he says, making me chuckle.

I stroke Allie's long blond hair out of her face and smile.

"How was work?"I ask.

He shrugs.

"Not too bad. I do have a cut on my leg I need you to look at."he says, making me sigh.

"You better not be getting blood on my sheets."I say as Mikkel looks down at Luka's sleeping face.

"You know, they don't really tell you how freaky it is having to see the younger version of yourself every day."he says, making me chuckle.

"He does look just like you, doesn't he?"I ask as he gently strokes Luka's face.

He shakes his head.

"He looks like Luka."

I smile, leaning my head on his shoulder.

He leans over as well, kissing my head.

"Let's make another one."he says, making me chuckle.

"Another one? You're crazy, these twins run you ragged."I say.

He shrugs with a smile.

"You know, the more kids I have the more I get to stay home."he shrugs.

I sigh, smiling as I look at him.

"You could just stay home more. Let Donnie take over for a little bit."I suggest.

He chuckles.

"Donnie does not know how to handle that kind of responsibility. But you know...Tony does."he shrugs.

"You think he would?"I ask.

"He'd do anything for his grandkids."he says softly.

"And I'd love to see them more than I do now."he says.

I chuckle.

"I think that's a great idea, babe."I say softly.

He nods.

He kisses Luka's head and then scoots a bit closer to me.

"This is the life, isn't it?"he asks.

I nod.

"It truly is."
