Scout and Connor

She nodded, sitting down with Violet while sighing. "Should we talk to him now?" She asked.

He nodded. "Yeah. Do you want me to get him?"

She nodded. "Yeah. I'm gonna prepare him and Abbey a snack." She put Violet on the floor and went into the kitchen, Violet following her.

Peter walked upstairs to get Noah. The kids were doing their their homework in Abby's room. "Hey Noah, your mom and I would like to talk to you downstairs.
"Okay." Noah nodded and finished the part he was on before following Peter back down stairs.

Abby watched them, wanting to go but she was old enough to understand private conversations.
Caroline prepared some crackers and cheese and took them to the living where, Violet following. She put the plate on the coffee table then took Christian out of the playpen when he began to fuss.

Peter sat on the couch and took a cracker.
Noah took a cracker with cheese and sat down. "Am I in trouble."

"No." Caroline said, sitting beside him once the twins were settled with toys. "We need to talk about your dad. Your real dad."

"What about him?" Noah continued to eat the snack.

"Well, he wants to meet you. And have you in his life. Which means you would go to his house and visit him and do things with him." She touched his shoulder.

He stopped eating and looked over. "When?" Noah asked softly.

"Well, whenever you want. You don't have to see him if you don't want to. It's your choice." Caroline said gently.

"Of course. You can talk to either of us about it if you want to." She took his hand.

"Okay." He got up and went back upstairs.
"That could have gone worse." Peter said.

Finn tried to crawl on David's legs.
Caroline sighed. "I don't even think he cares." She muttered.

"I don't he expected it and he just needs time to think it over." Peter moved over to her.

Caroline nodded, sighing.

He kissed her head. "Everything will be okay."

She nodded and chewed on her thumbnail. "I hope so." She murmured.

"What's the worst that could happen?" He asked her.

"Noah hates him," she shrugged. "And then Matt gets angry with me about it."

"It's not that bad. What could Matt do anyway?" He put his arm around her.

She leaned into him. "I don't know. But you know how I am with what people think about me. It's all apart of the four mental disorders I have." She sighed.

"I know." He rubbed her side. "No matter what happens, Noah loves you, Abby loves you, the twins love you, and I love you."

Caroline whined, burying her face into his chest.

"No I think we did it at a good time. We're not to young or to old." He told her.
He held her and kissed her head. "Everything will be okay."

She nodded and held onto him until Christian demanded attention.

He smiled and picked up Christian. He put him between them.

"Hey little man." Caroline adjusted his shirt. "We should take them to soft-play tomorrow." She said.

He nodded. "Yeah they need it and will love it."

Finn whined, squirming around.
Caroline nodded. "Christian does more than Violet but she'll warm up to it." She kissed Christian's cheek.

"Christian will help her. There's nothing they won't do together." He tickled Christian.

Finn fussed a little. "Assy." He said.
"He wants his pacifier." Melody said.
She nodded. "It's getting harder though with them starting to talk more now." She said. "I mean they aren't coherent but we understand them and they understand us. I can't believe they're almost two."

"They grow up so fast." He chuckled. "It feels like they were just born."

"Uhg I don't want to remember that birth." She groaned, then laughed.

"Yeah sometimes I can still feel where your nails were." He chuckled and ran a hand through her hair.

"Oh stop." She playfully hit him.

"Your arms were covered in teethmarks." He nodded.

"Hey I hate giving birth okay? Even with medicine and drugs it's awful. Which, they wouldn't even let me have so I popped of those little suckers with no epidural." She said.

"I know." She smiled. "The twins need to go down for their afternoon nap." She said.

"I can put them down." He got up and picked one up in each arm. "Say goodnight to mommy."

"Sleep right babies." She pecked each of their cheeks.
Violet moaned.

He walked up the the kids room and set them in their cribs. He kissed each of them. "Sleep well." He turned on their nightlight.

Caroline went back to her laptop, sitting on the couch with it. She brought up the website to the mental home she would be staying in and two weeks.

He sang a lullaby for them until they both fell asleep. He walked back downstairs.
"It takes some people a while to know what they want." He told her.
