Stef's POV "Stop touching me." I heard all the way from the girls bedroom.
"Well you said I could sleep in your bed." Mariana's faint voice carried through the house.
"Doesn't mean you get to touch me." Callie replied as their room was right next to ours.
I looked over the the clock. 12:37.
"It's been almost seven minutes of their bickering, you wanna go stop it?" I heard my wife say as we were curled up together in each other's arms.
"I really thought they would work this one out on their own." I said sighing. Suddenly I heard a loud thud.
"And that would be Callie pushing Mariana out of her bed." Lena said.
And then we heard the all to familiar piercing cry.
I took a deep breath as my wife got up.
"I will take this one I guess." Lena said as she threw on a top.
"You should really go in there with no shirt on. I'm sure they would be scarred and it would shut them up for life." I said as Lena had previously been laying with me as we both had no tops on or bras.
"Babe, I don't think parenting works that way as much as you want it to. I suggest you also get a shirt on before one of the kids comes to crawl in bed with you." Lena said smiling as she headed out the door to go resolve the conflict.
I closed my eyes as I pulled the covers around me tighter. It had taken the kids a bit longer than usual to get them to bed. Jesus had been bouncing off the walls previously. Mariana was having a whole dilemma about which way her pillow should go. Callie was just cranky and refused to be tucked in by anyone and didn't want to lay her head down for the damn life of her. Brandon wanted to play outside, and Jude didn't like the new night light we had gotten him. By the time everyone was tucked in and supposedly asleep, it was already 11:15. Lena and I had gotten less than an hour of sleep and I still had work tomorrow.
