"Zane, would you stop trying to teach my baby how to fight?" I shouted at my twin

"She needs to know how to ward off bullies" he shrugged

"You sound just like Maliky, you know that?" I said a little irritated

"Smart guy"

"Daddy daddy daddy daddy daddy" Kyle came running into the room and Zane placed my little bundle into her cradle.

"What's up Little man?" he questions as he lifted the little boy in his arms.

"Wook" he lifted up his tiny index finger showing it to his dad

"What happened" I asked, noticing blood running from it.

He started to speak some unintelligible words, Zane listening keenly.

"But why would Tia bite you" Zane asked and he told him what happened.

"What did I tell you about putting your finger into other people's mouth?"

"I'm sowy" Kyle pouted at his dad and he sighed

"Come on.. let's go clean that up" he said as he left to go find the first aid kit.

I was now left with a restless Kyla who for some reason, started to scream. I tried breast feeding her but she wouldn't take it. I tried her bottle, pacifier, I even tried diaper change but she still wouldn't stop screaming. I started to cry too, getting frustrated because I couldn't figure out what was wrongs with her.

Just then, Maliky walked into the house, looking puzzled. I jumped up from the floor where I had been sitting, pulling at my hair and hugged him.

"I can't get her to stop." I sobbed.

"I'll go look at her" he said before washing his hands and taking her from the crib.

I watched as he tried to figure out what was wrong. He couldn't find it out either. He then shoved his index finger into her mouth and she started to chew on it.

"She teething" he whispered, smiling at me
