     Alex unlocks the front door and opens it, stepping into her house. Markus follows her, holding their son in his carrier. He puts the carrier on the counter and takes Mason out. He cradles the baby as he leaves to put him in his room. Alex smiles while watching them.

She walks to the living and looks confused at her sister sleeping on the couch. Alex grabs her foot and shakes her awake.

Spencer "Hey...I didn't even hear the door open."

Alex "Yea, lucky I wasn't a murderer."

Spencer nods and rubs her tired eyes.

Alex "Why are you on the couch? I gave you the guest room."

As Spencer goes to tell her sister about the previous night's events, the door to the guest room opens and Aria walks out holding her daughter. Alex looks at Spencer who sighs.

Alex "Uh...good morning, Aria."

Aria "Morning."

Alex "There's toothbrushes in the guest bathroom."

Aria "Thanks."

Aria sets Bella down and goes back to the guest room to brush her teeth. The little girl runs to her father. Spencer picks up her daughter and lays back into the couch.

Alex "So...wanna tell me what happened?"

Spencer "We didn't do anything, if that's what you're implying."

     Alex rolls her eyes and sits next to Spencer.

Spencer "She and Ezra had a fight...about me."

Alex "Why you?"

Spencer "Ezra heard me tell her I still loved her."

Alex "You told her! You're lucky he didn't beat you to a pulp!"

Spencer "Yeah...he just left. So she got drunk and walked all the way here."

Alex "She got drunk and carried Bella all the way here?"

Spencer "No...she accidentally left her at home-"

Alex "What?!"

Spencer "She was asleep and wasn't alone long-"

Alex "I'd kill Markus if he left Mason alone no matter how long!"

Aria walks into the living and the twins stop their conversation.

Alex "Aria, if your not leaving, you should join us for breakfast."

Markus walks into the room hearing their conversation about breakfast.

Markus "I make pretty good French toast."

Aria "Thanks...but I should really get home, talk to Ezra."

Aria takes a glance at Spencer. The tall brunette nods and stands up.

Spencer "I'll drop you off."

Aria "Do you mind if Bella stays? I don't want her around when I talk to Ezra."

Alex "No not at all. We can drop her off anytime if you want."

Aria "Thank you."

Aria says goodbye to her daughter with a kiss, then leaves with Spencer back to her house. Hopefully Ezra hasn't moved out.
