Chapter 23 Climb

Molly was almost four, and Brennan was nearing six. They were big enough to go into the treehouse now, that used to be Killian and Regina's. Brennan quickly climbed up to the secured and improved ladder, Killian watched him proudly, it was his mini self, Molly looked up, and started to climb, she was tiny though, "Oh sweetheart, I don't know about you yet," Killian held her waist and picked her up. "I big girl too," Molly said, "well, I know but it's a bit high for you, Daddy isn't sure you're ready sweetheart," Killian said. 

"What's wrong?" Regina asked, "I not a baby!" Molly snapped at Killian, "hey," he scolded her and spanked her bottom once, "don't sass me with that tone," he said, Regina looked at Killian, "I told her I think she's too small to go up yet," he said. "Oh, really?" Regina asked. "You disagree? She's not even four," Killian said. "So? She's a big girl and you're right here," Regina said. "Mummy disagrees," he said. "I go up," Molly said, Killian sighed and thought for a moment, "fine," he said putting her on the ladder, it wasn't too high so he obviously helped Molly climb up, pushing her bottom up at the end as she reached the top. 

He looked up from below, Regina smirked, "she's tough," Regina said. "She's still the baby and little," Killian said, "well you can just watch her from here, Brennan won't let her fall," Regina said. "Well I don't intend on moving, I'm here to catch her if she falls," he said. "I know, her handsome hero, next to her brother of course," Regina said.

Brennan and Molly cutely played together in the treehouse. Killian did not move from below it, "Daddy potty!" Molly said down to him, "you have to go? Come here," he said climbing up a step or two to reach her, "No! I climb!" Molly insisted doing it herself, "just like your mother," Killian said and Molly turned around, Killian of course guided her anyway to the step, and she had her back to him, as she climbed down, him of course right there with her, his hand hovering behind her bottom to catch her in case. "Yay!" Molly was proud reaching the bottom, "good girl," Killian said and Molly ran inside to the bathroom.

"Daddy, can you keep Molly down there?" Brennan asked, "why?" He asked, "because she's a girl," Brennan said. "She's your sister mate, that's not fair," Killian said. "But Daddy," Brennan whined, "Brennan Henry Jones," Killian's voice got strict, "She's your little sister, you'll let her up to play, because this is her treehouse too," Killian said giving him a nod and a firm look, "I want to be just boys for now," he said.

 "No, and if you give me trouble, I'll not allow you up there for a while and you'll get a spanking," Killian warned and Molly came to his side, he smiled down at her. She had animal crackers, "oh a snack," Killian said, Molly wore it like a purse and started to climb up again with Killian literally guarding her again. "Ugh Daddy," Brennan whined down to him. "Ok come down here and talk to me," Killian said and Brennan climbed down to him. 

Killian knelt down and looked his son in the eye, "now you listen and stop this, she gets to play up there and that's final, if you don't like it you can go in your room and play there," Killian said. "Fine," Brennan said, Killian shook his head and before Brennan got back on the ladder, Killian smacked his bottom once, "Ow," he whined, "mm that is a warning lad," Killian said.

Killian was tidying up some plants down below with Regina, and suddenly Molly squealed, "Owie!! Mummy!!!" She cried and both Killian and Regina went to the treehouse, Regina started up the ladder, "what happened?" Regina asked as Molly came to her seeing her head come up, "he pinched me," Molly cried and went to Regina's arms, Regina glared at Brennan. "Brennan!" Killian's voice echoed below as Regina climbed down slowly with Molly, "come here now! Or I'm coming up to get you!" Killian scolded. 

"I'll count to three! Tick tock lad!" Killian scolded, "one!... Two!!" He said and Brennan climbed down to him, "get your behind in the house," Killian scolded and they went inside. Molly was on the counter with Regina who put a little princess cold pack on her arm. Brennan ran in, "get on the steps," Killian commanded and his son sat on the steps. "She ok?" Killian asked, "yeah, pinched her pretty hard," Regina said showing Killian the little red mark. "Daddy," Molly whined and Killian kissed it.

He placed his foot on the step, and looked at his son, "First you're not going up there for three days, that's the first punishment, two, Molly picks the movie Friday night, and three, come here," Killian tugged his son to him, and picked him up and smacked his bottom 3 times. "Ow." Brennan whined, "Go say sorry right now," Killian said giving his son a final smack on the behind. "I'm sorry Molly," he said softly, Regina smirked at him, "it's your job to protect your sister, like your daddy does, you're not supposed to hurt her ever," Regina said. "Ok mummy," Brennan sighed, "go wash up for dinner mate, now," Killian said.

Regina put Molly down and she headed towards her play kitchen, Killian put his arm around Regina, "well he's going through his I don't like girl phase I guess," Regina said, "I never went through that," Killian said, "that's because you had me," Regina smiled, "well yes and she's his sister so it's different," Killian said. "You know what we haven't done in five days," Regina said, "sex," Killian said, "you really keep of track of that still? I bet you even know how many times we've done it since we first did at 17," Regina said. "Mmm," he perked his head up.

"I could figure it out, let's see, since we were 17, that's 14 years, roughly 300 times a year, minus the late pregnancy months with both kids, I would say we've done it about 5000 times," Killian smirked. "Really? It doesn't seem like enough," she smiled, he raised his eyebrows and kissed her, "Mmm well, we can make that number climb some more tonight," he said, kissing her again fiercely, until, the tug of a small hand on their pants, "Daddy," Molly said, they looked down pursing their lips to moisten them, "if she shares you," Regina said. "She will, she has to sleep," Killian laughed.
