Aphmau's POV

I quickly change into my clothes once I realize Sly isn't leaving. I can see the confusion all over his face as to why I'm acting the way I am. If I'm entirely honest, I'm not completely sure why I'm acting like this.

I watch Sly slip into a purple flannel that Castor had brought him and some ripped jeans. Thor, he's hawt. I may be just the tiniest bit biased though, since, you know, he is my husband. I was in a graphic gray tee with some black text on it that said 'Mom life is the best life' and a pair of jeans. Wait, who's watching the kids?

"Mi esposo, who is going to watch the boys?" I question him.

"Mi mujer, Castor is, of course," Sly replies, looking like he trusts Castor with our sons, "Who else but the person you think of as a brother?"

At this, I let a bit of Sassmau out, "Someone who won't get them killed is a good start, Stari."

"Not Steven? Good thing he isn't watching them then, huh, mi amor?" He says before he pulls me into his arms and just stands there, holding me to his chest.

I only shake my head at this before I reply, "Fine, but if I come back to them with even a single scratch, I'm going to be blaming you instead of Castor."

He only laughs, "Mi amor, if I had even a thought that he'd hurt them, I wouldn't leave them with him. If it worries you so much though, we can always bring them with us."

"Please," I say, a smile on my face that he'd do such a thing to make me happy, "I'd miss them too much if we left them here, anyway."

He kisses the top of my head before he pulls me out the door and walks to Leo's room. He opens the door before he's tackled to the ground by both of my, our, boys.

"Ha, looks like they got their tackling skills from dad, eh, Jess?"

I turn on my heel to see the one and only Castor standing in front of me, "Yeah, after last night I'd be 100 percent sure they did."

Castor raises an eyebrow before he smirks, "What, at the sleepover or what you two did afterward?"

I watch as Sly's face flushes pink with embarrassment. At least I know he's listening to us, "At the sleepover, Dumbnut."

Castor shakes his head before walking over to pick the boys up off of Sly. He gets a grateful look in return before Sly speaks, "Thank you for offering to take care of them, Castor, but little miss over here," He sends an accusing finger at me, "Doesn't want to leave them behind. I don't want to make here upset again so would you mind coming with us? You can go ahead since you know where I want to take her if you want."

Castor only looks over at me as I give a confirmative nod, "I guess, we just have to be back before Monday, right, Jess?"

"Absolutely, Cas."
