The Trap

Chapter 75

Hi everyone! Sorry this is later than I thought it would take to write, edit and post this chapter. I've had to put writing on the back burner for a while, but now I'm glad to come back and finish this chapter. It's a little shorter than the last one, but longer than I thought it would be. I hope this was worth the wait for you!

"Do you hear anything?" Rochelle asked whispering.

"No," Dylan replied shaking his head.

"What do you think they're doing?" Lily asked in general.

"Well if I can pick this lock, we'll know for sure," Holly said truthfully.

"What are you four doing?" Someone asked behind the four.

The kids all whipped their heads around to see their nanny there with her arm folded.

"Oh hey Sydney. How are you this fine day?" Dylan asked with a very guilty smile.

"Are you trying to break into the room?" she asked the group.

"Uh...um..." Rochelle said trying to think about how to answer.

"Because if you are, I'll turn you in to Uncle Mason," she said sternly.

"Please don't do that," Lily said shaking her head.

"Why not?" Sydney asked them.

"Okay, okay fine you caught us. We just really miss our parents and it's been three days since we saw them last," Holly said, spilling the truth.

"I know you all do, but that's a honeymoon for you," Sydney said with a light smile.

"Do you think they'll ever come out again?" Lily asked thinking out loud.

Sydney smiled. "Yes I know they will. Just let them come out in their own time. Now who wants ice cream?"

The kids ran down the hallway as Isaac came around the corner.

"You handled that well."

"Thanks."

"So I take it that they still don't know about the honeymoon suite?"

"Nope and if they did, they would be trying to break into that room instead."

"Actually no kids are allowed on that floor."

"Oh that's good. But I can't blame them. I would react the same way if my parents disappeared for a few days without telling me where they were going. But I would never think about breaking into their room. My kids are so smart."

"Yeah. I wouldn't think of that strategy either. I hope for the kids' sanities that their parents show up soon. The separation is killing the kiddos."

"Yeah I know. Come on let's go."

"Okay."

Meanwhile in the honeymoon suite, the newlyweds were cuddling when all of a sudden, Paula sat straight up in bed.

"What is it, love?"

"Kids."

"Do you want to make some?"

"Yes, but not now. Do you remember that we have five kids?!"

"Well yes, but why are you freaking out for?"

"What day is it?"

"Well it's a day that ends in 'y'."

"Okay so then...it's any day because they all end in the letter y."
