Like the start of any other day, I was woken up by the twins laughing and screaming. It was rare that I woke up after 9 a.m. but with Dan and Phil having child like minds and having actual children... I'm the only adult in this house. I sighed and got out of my comfy bed and walked into the living room.
   "Guys what are you doing? You know I don't like the kids wiled up in the morning" I said.
Dan and Phil built the kids a fort out of our couch cushions and were pretending that there was an earthquake.
   "Sorry darling but we just wanted to enhance their... architectural skills?" Dan offered lamely.
I laughed under my breath. I couldn't be mad at any of them.
   "Right... just make sure to clean all this up. I'll go make their bottles" I smiled.
   "Already made and fed them sweetie" Phil replied.
   "Alright what's going on? Are you two hiding something?" I asked suspiciously.
   "Should we tell her?" Dan asked Phil.
   "How about we tell her at dinner tonight? We'll put the twins down for bed and I can cook us a nice meal" Phil suggested.
   "That sounds like a plan. Although you spoiled some of the suspense" Dan laughed back.
I just rolled my eyes playfully and walked back to the kitchen to make me some coffee. I sat at the table with my warm mug and pulled out my phone. I was scrolling through my Instagram when I got a text from an unknown number. It read private message and I was hesitant on whether or not to read it. Against my better judgement, I went to my texts to read it.
U: hey there!
Y: um... hi
U: u ready for tonight?
Y: sorry u have the wrong number
U: whoops! my bad
Y: don't worry about it
U: alrighty ;)
I put my phone away and sipped on my warm beverage looking out the window. It was the start of fall and I just watched the wind blow on the trees. I've never been more at peace with my life. I about dropped my coffee in my lap when I heard Oliver crying. I rushed into the living room to see a sobbing Oliver in Phil's arms.
   "What happened?" I asked worried.
I sat next to the both of them and saw a rug burn on Oliver's right arm.
   "I tried sliding him across the rug on a sheet and he fell out which resulted in his injury" Phil explained.
   "Phil he's only two years old. You can't really play rough with him. Plus you know how sensitive he is" I replied a bit annoyed.
I picked up Oliver and carried him to the bathroom. He cried and screamed even more when I put rubbing alcohol on his burn.
   "Ow! Mommy!" he cried.
   "I'm sorry sweetie but I don't want it to get infected" I said gently holding him in my arms.
   "No more sliding on the rug or you'll get hurt again" I whispered kissing the top of his hair.
I wiped his face of tears and carried him back to his and Alice's room.
   "Dan could you bring Alice to their room?" I called.
It was time the twins had a nap anyway. It was barely noon and I was already exhausted. I laid Oliver down in his slightly cramped crib and tucked him in.
   "Sing mommy?" he asked.
   "Mommy is tired honey, I'll sing tonight before bed" I replied kissing his forehead.
That's when Dan came in with a sleeping Alice and placed her in her crib. I walked over and kissed and tucked her in. Then both Dan and I quietly walked out of the room closing the bedroom door. We joined Phil in the kitchen who was already prepping for tonight's dinner.
   "You know you guys can just tell me the news" I said.
   "Nope, you will have to suffer and wait until tonight's meal" Phil said sticking his tongue out at me.
I sighed sadly knowing that I wouldn't know quite yet.

-Later on that Evening-

   "Okay kids, finish your noodles and Phil will you help them brush their teeth?" I asked.
Phil nodded and escorted the twins away to the bathroom. Dan and I took their dishes and washed them to get ready for our meal. It was around 7 p.m. so we still had time to enjoy ourselves without disturbing the kids. Phil came and rejoined us. He greeted me with a kiss on the cheek. Dan seemed a bit envious so he did the same. I couldn't help but blush.
   "Now you go sit and wait at the table. Phil and I will serve you, and you are not allowed to move" Dan warned.
   "Okay bossy pants" I laughed.
I sat down and a few minutes later, the aroma of (your favorite food) filled the air. Both boys sat on either of me and grinned at me.
   "Okay you two I've waited patiently all day, what is the news?" I asked.
   "The other day Dan and I were looking online and we think we found a house to move into" Phil said.
   "What do you mean?" I asked trying to hold my excitement in.
   "Well we've noticed that this place is getting cramped and we know that you've wanted to move" Dan explained.
   "But we didn't want to tell you because we wanted to be sure it was a real deal price" Phil added on.
   "So you're saying that we could buy it?" I asked.
   "Yes we could, all we have to do is go look at it and make an offer" Dan smiled.
   "How does that sound?" Phil asked.
   "It sounds amazing! Our kids get to have their own rooms and so do we! I'm so excited! You guys are so amazing! This is the best news ever!" I exclaimed jumping up and hugging them both.
And with that we ate our dinner and went to bed.
