''Mom how did you do it?' Bella looked at Kenzie confused.
''What?'' she asked.
''How did you manage triplets and twins.''
''It was hard but I had your dad.'' Kenzie nodded.
''Everything ok?'' Kenzie nodded and smiled.
''Everything's fine.'' placing a cup of tea in front of her daughter she sat down.
''You look tired.''
''I am tired.''
''Are you sleeping, you're supposed to sleep when they sleep honey.''
''They never sleep together, one sleeps while the other is awake and then I've to get Amy at half 2 from school and I'm awake all day.''
''Where's Dylan?'' she asked.
''In work.'' her jaw dropped.
''You didn't know?'' Kenzie asked.
''No of course not how long has he been back?''
''He went back when the boys where 3 weeks old, so 6 weeks now.'' Bella's mouth hung open.
''Kenzie sweetie, are you doing the night-shifts?'' she nodded slowly.
''I've no choice, he has to do extra classes so when he comes home he doesn't even eat he just goes to bed, he always says he'll get up with them but when I shove him during the night he'll ignore me or tell me he's tired. Don't get me wrong I love those boys with everything in me but I need a break from them before I go insane.'' Bella squeezed Kenzie hands/
''Honey I'll take them for a couple of nights.'' Kenzie shook her head her eyes water.
''I want that, but I don't want to leave them, I don't care about sleep, I'll get plenty of it when I'm dead, I'm only bothered about him missing these weeks he'll never get back, like where have those 6 weeks gone already?''
''Kenzie you need to speak to him, sit him down tell him you need help you can't do it on your own, I can't imagine how hard it is.'' she sniffled and nodded looking down at the boys in there pram.
When she got home she made Amy food, sat down with her doing her homework fed the boys and Made Dylan's dinner. When the food was done it was washing clothes and drying and folding then cleaning up the house.
''Hey baby.'' she heard Dylan say in the other room
''Where's your mom?''
''Cleaning up... as usual.'' she said making Kenzie frown. She heard footsteps coming down the hall towards the utility room.
''Hey.'' she smiled folding the clothes.
''How was work?'' she asked putting the boys clothes in the blue basket.
''Busy, so many people are joining up for the summer, with all the money they have I don't see why they don't just hire a personal trainer, hell most of them have gyms at home.''
''Is it more women than men.'' he nodded.
''Lost of women in the gym now.''
''Maybe you should hire a really fit girl trainer, might attract some male attention'' he hummed.
''Yeah we were talking about that.'' she nodded.
''Any way your dinner is done it's in the oven.'' she walked around him with the basket.
''Baby can you watch your brothers while I put the clothes away.'' Amy nodded once Kenzie and walked up the stairs, no energy in her body, her legs hurt her back was killing her and her head was pounding.
''I'm going for a drink with the guys.'' Dylan walked into the room into the closet she followed.
''So what another night I'll be doing night feeds?'' she asked he sighed.
''Babe you do be up for only 15 minutes then you go back to sleep, it's not that hard.''
''Then why can't you get up and do it for once''
''Because I work.''
''Being a trainer, is fucking nothing to being a parent, you don't see these boys, you weren't here when they could finally see, following Amy around and smiling at her, you're missing fucking everything Dylan.'' he sighed.
''I've all their life's left Kenzie, chill the fuck out.''
''Go on fuck off out with your friends, we don't need you here, you're a useless father to those boys.'' he grabbed her hard by the arm glaring down at her
''Take that back Kenzie.'' he glowered at her; she gave him a disgusted look and snatched her arm out of his grip.
''What have you done for them huh, you went back to work when they were 21 days old, for a man who was dying for them to get here, counting down the days you don't spend any time with them, you don't spend any time with Amy do you.'' he didn't say anything
''Go out Dylan, and don't come back for all I care, I can take care of my three kids on my own, I don't need no man's help.'' she slammed the bedroom door and left the room going down stairs she let a deep breath out leaning against the wall
''Mom are you ok?'' she opened her eyes to see Amy and smiled
''Yeah baby I'm fine, you want me to braid your hair and we'll watch a movie.'' Amy nodded slowly.
''Ok then let's go.'' she closed the living room door after them.
I looked down at Amy when she flinched as the front slammed closed; I kissed the top of her head leaning my chin on top of it. She wanted real skinny plaits all over her hair, so it took me about an hour to do it. The boys were up in their mosses baskets and we were having popcorn and chocolate watching Tangled.
''Baby.'' I mumbled rubbing her cheek she moaned in her sleep, I sighed and stripped her down and put her Pj's on and carried her up to bed
''Sweet dreams princess.'' I went downstairs locking the house up turned the alarm off and went to bed, hoping for at least 3 hours of sleep before the boys wake up.
''Have a good day baby and I'll be here at the end of school.'' I said fixing her coat.
''Ok.''
''Give mommy a hug.'' she hugged me I kissed her head and put her bag on her back and watched her walking to her class line and into the school. I looked at the boys who were asleep in their car seat. I tapped my hands off the steering wheel.
''You boys up for shopping with mommy?'' I asked them, Lennon winged I chuckled pulling out the school parking lot and drove to the mall, putting the boys into a twin shopping cart, once they were strapped in, we went grocery shopping then to mother care, I picked up a few more clothes for both them and summer clothes for Amy.
''Hello?'' I asked answering my phone.
''Hey baby.'' I smiled.
''Hey daddy what's up?''
''Nothing much I was going to swing by yours, you in.''
''No I'm out shopping with the boys right now.''
''On your own.'' I chuckled.
''Obviously Amy's in school.''
''You should have rang me or mom.'' I smiled.
''Daddy I'm well capable of going shopping on my own.'' he sighed heavily.
''Look I'm coming over to see my baby girl and my grandsons I'll be at your house in half hour, drive home safe.'' he hung up, I sighed and looked down at the twins who were looking up at me I smiled.
''Shall we go home and see your grandpa.'' Lennon looked up at me sucking on his pacifier while Parker kicked his feet and sneeze. I chuckled and packed the car up strapped the boys in and drove home, my dad's car was in the drive way. He smiled and got out.
''Hey pops.'' he chuckled wrapping me up in a hug I smiled hugging him tight.
''How's my girl?'' I nodded.
''I'm good yeah, will you take the boys while I grab the bags.''
''You get the boys get into the house and I'll get your bags.'' I smiled gratefully and opened the door turning the alarm off and put the boys into their twin buggy, while my dad done four runs with shopping bags.
''Thanks dad.''
''I'll put them away.''
''No, no that's ok I'll do it, you can sit down keep them occupied.'' he frowned but sat down with the boys while I unloaded the bags.
''You hungry?'' I asked.
''No honey I just ate before coming over.'' I nodded putting a cup of tea in front of him.
''So how are you?'' I nodded crossing my arms.
''I'm good yeah, all is good.'' he hummed.
''So explained to why you look really thin and why you're pale with deep bags under your eyes.''
''That's being a parent.''
''Oh I know that, your mom had 11 and not once has she looked like you.''
''What way do I look dad?'' I asked offended.
''Exhausted, absolutely shattered.'' I shook my head.
''No I'm fine.''
''Kenzie you're not fine.''
''Damn it daddy, I just said I'm fine, take my word for it.'' he nodded and looked at the twins I sighed rubbing my face and got up making a bottle for them, once it was cooled I gave one bottle to my dad to feed Parker while I feed Lennon.
''I've to go the gym.'' he said after winded Parker, I smiled at my boy, they were still so tiny but not there eyes were wide open looking around at everything finally being able to see.
''Thanks for coming over.'' I put the bottles into the sink and crossed my arms over my chest.
''How's mom?'' he nodded.
''She's good yeah, I'm thinking about bringing her away, just us two, we haven't be away just the both of us in about 7 years.'' I smiled.
''She always says she wanted to go to Paris, it's her favourite place in Europe as well as London.'' I saw the wheel turning in his head I chuckled and hugged him.
''Drive safe tell mom I was asking for her.'' he kissed my head and left with an unreadable expression on his face.
