Luke's pov

Calum and I were cuddling on the sofa watching tangled with Annie. Me on his lap, Annie on mine. "She's pretty daddy" she said to Calum. "I know baby, but she's not as pretty as you" he kissed her nose. "Daddy don't do that! It tickles!" She giggled.

He did it again. "Daddy Luke! Make him stop!" She whined. I tickled her side and she began giggling hysterically. I smiled. I love these little family moments.

However our little moment was interrupted. "Hunter, I don't think this is a good idea..." Hayden said quietly. We had become very used to this phrase over the years. 

"Oh god, what has he got planned this time...." I frowned. "GERONIMOOOOO!!!!" we heard Hunter scream. There was a loud clatter followed by an even louder cry. 

I put Annie down on the sofa and jumped up to find out what had happened. "DADDY IT HURTS!" Hunter yelled clutching his arm. I saw a skateboard lying next to him. "Oh hell" I sighed.

"Calum! Get the car!" I yelled. I picked Hunter up and wiped away his tears. I held out my free hand to Hayden and we walked out of the house, grabbing my phone and my wallet.

"Where are we going?" Hayden asked. "To the hospital buddy" I replied. "Why?" He asked. "Because your brother is an idiot" I frowned. "Luke, can you sit in the back with Hunter, Hay, you come sit in the front with me" Calum said, hopping in the driver's side. 

"But daddddddd me and Hunter always sit in the back together! It's our thing!" He frowned. "Well today sitting in the front with me is your thing" Calum smirked. 

After traffic jams, red lights and 20 minutes of Annie's interesting questions concerning tangled, we finally arrived at the hospital.

I gave a still crying Hunter to Calum and rushed to the front desk of the children's A&E. "Hi, my son Hunter Hoodings may have broken his arm?" I said quickly. "What's your name sir?" She asked. "Oh right, right, Luke, Luke Hoodings" I smiled.

"Well, we are fairly empty today so if you and your son head for the waiting room we'll have someone with you soon Mr Hoodings" she smiled. "Ok, thanks" I rushed back to Calum. 

"She says to go to the waiting room, and it should be fairly empty" I said. We walked towards the waiting room and pushed open the door. 

Empty. Surrrrreeeee. There was like 30 crying kids in here! "Babe, can you call Mikey and Ash to come get Hayden and Annie? We might be here a while" Calum sighed. "Cool! Can I go?" Hunter chirped. Well someone's changed their tune... "No! The whole reason we're here in the first place is to fix your arm genius!" Calum huffed.

"Are you sassing me again daddy? I thought I warned you. Don't start a sass battle" Hunter glared. "Come at me man, I can take you" Calum smirked. "No you can't" Hunter sassed. "Yes I can, I have an infinite sass capacity" Calum grinned. "I don't know what half those words mean but I could still out sass you" Hunter snapped.

I rolled my eyes. Every single day they have a conversation like this. Every. Single. Day. I pulled out my phone and called Ashton. "Hey Ash, um... Hunter may have broken his arm, looks like we might be here a while, any chance you and Michael can watch Annie and Hayden?" I asked. "Of course, give me 10 minutes and we'll be there" he replied. "Thanks mate" I smiled. "No problem" he hung up.

"Annie, Hay, uncle Ash and uncle Mikey are gonna hang out with you ok?" I asked. "Yes!" Hayden cheered. 

10 minutes later they arrived. Annie toddled off to Ashton and he picked her up. "Hey cutie, how are ya?" He asked. "Good uncle Ashy" she giggled ruffling his hair. "That's great princess" he said, cuddling her to his chest. "Hayden, how is going man?" Michael asked, high fiving him. "Good, very good" he grinned. "Awesome, lets go" he smiled.

"Bye Hunter" Hayden yelled. He waved half heartedly. "Have fun guys! Hayden, don't take any more love advice from uncle Michael!" I called to him. "He learns from the best Luke!" Mikey yelled back and they left. 

7 hours later and we were leaving the hospital, Hunter with his arm in a blue cast. "And what does that teach you Hunter?" I asked. "Yeah, yeah, I know, don't try and be Paul Rodriguez and skateboard down stairs" he replied. "Very good" I smirked. 

We got home and the boys dropped off Annie and Hayden. We were sitting in the living room having a coffee and catching up when we were startled by the second loud clatter off the day. 

We jumped up and ran to the stairs to see Hayden lying in a heap on the floor. "What the hell happened?" Calum said. "Annie pushed him!" Hunter exclaimed. "Annie, why?" I asked. "They're twins. They need to be the same!" She frowned. 

"Oh god" I sighed. "Is it broken Hayden?" I asked. "I don't think so" he frowned. "Thank god" Calum groaned.

"Annie, that's not what a good princess does..." Ash warned. "But I'm a prettier princess than you" she grinned before skipping off. "She's not wrong..." Michael laughed.
