CALLIE'S POV

It's the middle of the night and all of a sudden i hear a scream and little footsteps running into our room.

"MUMMY!! DADDY!!!" 

Both Brandon and i turn on our side lamps and look at Hallie standing in our doorway "Baby whats wrong, come here?" i tell her as she climbs up inbetween me and Brandon.

"Scary man"

I look at Brandon worried somebody was in her room "Where was the many baby?"

"When my eye closed!"

I give a sad smile and turn to Brandon "Oh babe she had a nightmare"

Brandon picks her p into his lap "Sweetie its ok it was just a bad dream, he isnt here in real life"

She gives him a sad sad look "But what bout when i seep"

"its ok baby usually they dont come back but if he does you just tell him to go away cause your not scared. ok?"

"no" I giggle, i know its not funny but Brandon isnt gonna win this battle 

"Brandon just let her sleep in here tonight"

"No babe cause then she will keep doing it" then turns back to Hallie "sweetie Brookie sleeps in her room and no man gets her, so that means you can sleep in your room and be safe too"

"no" I smile and look away trying not to encourage her

"Brandon shes never had a nightmare before" i say rubbing his back

"Fiiinne" he says in whiny voice

"Alright sweetie come her and cuddle up with mummy, no bad guy will get you with me and daddy here" She comes under the covers in between me and Brandon and we fall asleep.

I wake up in the morning and Brandon isnt in bed and I have Hallie's foot in my face. I quietly sneak out of the bed being careful not to wake her and go downstairs to find Brandon lying on the floor with Brooklyn. "Oh what i didnt even hear her wake up"

He turns to look at me holding Brooklyn above his head "thats because you and Hallie snore"

"No we dont" i answer back defensively

"Ok whatever you say Cal"

"Thats what i say Bran"

"By the way I have a private music lesson with one of my students today so you right with the kids?"

I look at him shocked "Brandon no I have my biggest booking at the studio today I cant watch them!"

"Well mums have work and the others are at school so one of us has to"

"Brandon I have had this booked in for month"

"Callie I cant cancel privates it makes me look really bad and they pay a lot"

"Yeah well so does a large and private photoshoot"

"You know what i dont know why I'm even trying to win this you always get your fucking anyway"

"Brandon watch your language with Brooklyn" He sits brooklyn in her bumbo and turns to me 

"Right so now i cant say what i want in my own home"

"Seriously Brandon your acting like a 5 year old, we never use that language infront of the kids and you know it" He shakes his head "what?"

"This isnt even about the language Callie, its about the fact that no matter what the topic whether it be whats for dinner, how many kids we have, where we live YOU ALWAYS SEEM TO WIN!"
