"Abbe! Abbe!"

Aislinn was tugging on Abbe's arm. Jessie ran into the kitchen.

"Abbe we build a castle fort!"

Aislinn continued to tug on Abbe.

"Abbe get up!"

Mercedes raised her eyebrow.

"Excuse me little ma'am. What do we say?"

Aislinn pouted.

"Pleeaassee."

Abbe laughed and stood up.

"Okay here I come. I would love to see your castle fort!"

Mercedes nodded towards Aislinn.

"Thank you Aisie. Don't forget to be nice and tell Abbe thank you for playing for with you."

Jerome walked into the kitchen from the hallways.

"What is that massive blanket and pillow mess we are going to have to clean up in the kids' room?"

Mercedes laughed and let out a heavy sigh.

"Apparently their castle fort. They had to drag Abbe to it. I think she might be their prisoner."

Jerome grabbed a mug of coffee.

"Not the Princess?"

Mercedes raised her eyebrows and couldn't help laughing.

"With Aislinn? No way. She loves guarding prisoners. She held Jessie captive for hours the other day in their old castle fort. She's the evil Queen."

Jerome couldn't help his twisted smile and maniacal laugh.

"That's my baby girl!"

Mercedes shook her head.

"She called Jessie a peasant the other day."

Jerome looked away jokingly. Mercedes gave him a jokingly questioning look

"I wonder who taught her that word and the meaning of it."

Jerome turned back to her playfully offended.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I would never teach our daughter that."

Aislinn walked up to Mercedes and smacked her leg with a toy hairbrush.

"Ouch Aisie! We don't hit people with things!"

Aislinn gave her a serious look. 

"You under arrest peasant! Hands up!"

Mercedes tilted her head towards Jerome.

"No you didn't teach her a thing."

Jerome laughed and stood next to Aislinn.

"You heard Queen Aisie! Bow down you peasant! Come with us!"

Aislinn laughed as Mercedes stood up and Jerome grabbed her.

"I got her Queen Aisie!"

Aislinn giggled.

"Come sir Jerome!"

Mercedes raised her eyebrows at Jerome.

"I am Sir Jerome. Not just Queen Aisie's daddy, but also her most faithful Knight."

Mercedes laughed and followed them into the twin's bedroom. Abbe was already sitting her pretend cell. Aislinn pointed towards the cell. Mercedes walked over laughing until she laid eyes on Abbe's arm. She had a huge bruise.
