This is all in Ben's p.o.v.

"Bye!" I said.

"Bro, so, see you tonight at dinner tonight. Your house right? Mike asked.

" Yes my house" I replied.

"I'll keep you updated on what's happening in th CIA" Mike said.

My name is Benjamin Ripley and I am 36 years old. I have 5 wonderful kids and the best wife ever.

Erica Hale now Erica Ripley. She is 38 years old. Erica has raven black wavy hair. Gorgeous ice blue eyes.

That was Mike my best friend. 

I am taking a break from spying for 3 months. Erica has been doing missions when she could but she has been home taking care of our kids.

I offered to switch and she replied with no.

I am right now leaving headquarters. I get a 3 month break! Yes!

I hopped into my car and started driving home. I turned on the radio to listen to some music.

I finally made it to my house. There was lots of traffic thanks yo a 9 way car crash. I did feel bad for all the people who got injured.

I slowly crept into our house. Yelling.

"I HATE YOU!!!!! ABSOLUTELY HATE YOU!!!!" I heard someone yell. Oh it was me and Erica's oldest child.

Amber Ripley. She is 15 years old has ice blue eyes and natural strawberry blonde highlights which I don't know how she got the strawberry blonde cause Erica has raven hair and I have sandy brown not strawberry blonde but my hair also has specks of blonde. But, Amber is quite the teenager.

"Daddy!" One of my kids said coming to me. She hugged me so I hugged.back.

"Hey, Gabby" I said.

Gabby is Gabriella Ripley. She is our youngest. Age 7. Sandy Brown curly hair and ice blue eyes. 

"How was your day" I asked.

Gabby also has a hearing impairment. So, me and Erica have worked on our sign language and making our lips easily readable and talking a little bit louder. Gabby is really good at lip reading and sign. She knows 6 languages. Me and Erica are working on teaching the kids many different languages.

Gabby knows, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, Russian, French and Irish and obviously she knows English.

Jake or 10 year old boy with raven black hair and 1 eye sea green like mine and the other eye ice blue like Erica's.

Jake knows, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, Russian, French, Irish, Japanese and German.

Our other child Paul Ripley he has blonde hair with ice.blue eyes. Once again have no idea where the blonde came from.

Paul speaks everything Jake knows but Paul also knows Arabic,  Korean, Italian and Portuguese.

Paul is 12

Next in order is Mackenzie. She has amazing curly raven black hair with ice blue eyes. Looks like her mother but Erica's isn't curly.

Menzies knows everything Paul knows but, she also knows Scottish and  Bengali.

Kenzie is 13 years old.

Amber knows all of that her siblings know but she also knows Norwegian, Indonesian and Hindi.

Erica and I now know every language. Erica made me as she also made me study every country and type of landscape and that stuff.

We are slowly teaching the kids languages and all spy skills.

Back to the fight.

"Where's mom" I asked Gabby" and your siblings "

"Mommy is arguing with Amber and Paul and Jake are playing basketball down the street and Kenzie is painting her nails" Gabby responded.

I squatted down to her level."Can you go upstairs until I call back for you to come down" I gently asked her.

She nodded and went running off to her room. I walked into the living room to see Amber and Erica giving death glares.

"Dad can I go to tonight's concert with Anthony" Amber asked.

Anthony was her boyfriend. Anthony McCain. He has hazel eyes and brown hair.

I nodded. Erica then glared at me. I looked back at Amber" Sorry, your mother says no so no" I said.

Amber groaned" I am grown up enough! Also, dad start thinking with your mind!" Amber yelled.

"Amber!" I said.She looked at me" Do not talk to me like that and I think on my own mind"

Amber shrugged" Sure you do. I HATE YOU BOTH!!! Horrible!!!! Horrible!!! Parents" Amber roared. "We've got old grumpy mom over here and then I don't think with my mind dad over here" Amber said pointing to us.

"That's it young lady. Zip it. Upstairs into your room NOW!" Erica sternly said.

"No!" Amber was about to go on.

"Amber! Listen to your mother" I said." Go to your room!"

Amber looked back at me." Make me" Amber demanded.

Erica nodded and was about to charge at our daughter before she laid a finger on her.

"Erica calm down" I calmly said wrapping my arms around her.

Amber was just standing there" Why do you ALWAYS ALWAYA ALWAYS side with mom she is cruel" Amber was saying but I cut her off again.

"Amber!! You know I hate yelling!! But, I will yell for you to go upstairs NOW!!!" I yelled at her.

Amber's eyes soften" You! You have never yelled at me. You were the fun parent!" Amber said.

Erica held my hands to her chest trying to calm herself down. I rubbed my thumb lightly against her hand. 

"Amber I can not count how many  times we have told you to go upstairs to your room" I said.

Amber walked over to the stairs stomping loudly. Once she got to the stairs she turned around. Red faced. Arms crossed. She darted bullets at us" I HATE YOU!!!!!!" Amber yelled.

I whispered in Erica's ear" Grumpy teenager. I wonder where she got that attitude from" 

Erica laughed and punched me" She got it from you" I laughed.

"Dad!!! You seem like a ladies guy. So, I'm guessing you had many women you could of chose. SO WHY DID YOU CHOOSE MOM!!. Out of all the people you chose MOM! The " excellent, amazing" Erica Hale. I would of expected better from you. Why did you marry HER. She is cruel, mean, harsh and everything else. I can't believe you married her!!!!" Amber yelled.

"Cause I love her with all my heart" I replied kissing Erica on her neck. 

"I'm guessing she threatened you to marry her!" Amber yelled back.

I realised Erica. I walked over to Amber.

"Amber do not talk to me like that and do not talk about your mother that way. She did not force or threaten me into marrying her. I had loved her from the start of when we met. I proposed to her and she was the one who replied yes. Your mother is amazing. Beautiful, dangerous,  lovely, cool, strong..." 

"Your probably only like her cause her looks" Amber said cutting me off.

I walked closer to her and pointed towards the stairs." Up the stairs. Now!" I demanded. Amber started walking up the stairs " I did not marry her cause of her looks. She is a strong, independent person and since we had met when she tackled me I had always looked up to her. And if you don't fix your attitude any time soon then you are not going to see Anthony any time soon" I finished saying.

Amber turned around" No, I love you daddy. I love mom. She is my favorite. I take back everything that I said about you two" Amber begged.

"Amber if you beg that is taking a day longer for you to see Anthony cause I'll just add a day you can't see him. No up those stairs into your bedroom and think really hard on what you have said" I said rushing her up the stairs.

Amber groaned" Ugh!! Why do you always send me upstairs and you never send mom"

I started walking down the stairs as I got half way up with Amber.

I went over to Erica. I grabbed both of her hands. She looked down at them" You normally don't give a punishment " Erica said.

"And you do. That makes you sound like the worst mother ever in your kids minds. But, your strong, independent and beautiful. I could never do that for your whole life. How did we end up with kids" I asked.

"It was all your fault" Erica laughed.

"You loved it. You did it more then 10 times and we've only been married for 16 years" I smiled.

"I could do it again" Erica smirked. 

I kissed her" I know you loved it. You were screaming of pleasure but darling no thank you on that offer. Not right now" I said.

Erica smiled and hugged me."Thank you for dealing with that"

"Ahhhhh!!!" we heard from upstairs.

We both looked at each other" Gabby " We ran up the stairs to Gabby's room just to find Amber punching her.

I picked up Gabby and held her in my arms. She was bleeding.

Erica walked over to Amber."First off your father sent you up the stairs to your room and said to stay. Second, off we do not harm our siblings like that. It's something different if we were training then not training. " Erica stuck out her hand" That's it young Missy. Me and Your father have had enough with your giant mess. Give me your phone and I'll give it back when I want. It depends how you treat others and us your parents " Erica sternly said.

Amber stood there"Give me the phone" Erica said.

Amber still stood there." NOW! Or I will force it into my hand" Erica said.

Amber took out 3 phones and handed them all to Erica.

"Amber you have 4 more phones" I said.

Amber took them all out. 

We have given our kids phones with different numbers so they could reach us and if they needed a backup phone or to use a different phone number they could.

But, the kids had 1 main cell phone.

We walked out of the room.

"Are you ok" I asked Gabby.

"Yeah" She replied.I let her down gently and she started walking down the stairs" Can I go to Avery's house"

"Sorry,but Mike and his family are coming for dinner and they should be here in like an hour. But, she can come here" I said.

Gabby nodded" Thanks daddy"

Gabby went running off to clean herself up. I went into the kitchen and started pulling ingredients out.

"Do you need anymore ingredients" Erica asked walking in.

"I need the ingredients to get the true love from you" I said and paused" Oh wait... I already do "

Erica came over and hugged me."That was terrible " Erica said.

I kissed her forehead" I know" I said.

------time Skip------

All of us were sitting at the table. Avery, Gabby, Jake, Paul, Mackenzie, Amber, me, my lovely wife Erica, Zoe, Mike, their 3 kids Julie who is Gabby's age, Vanessa who is Paul's age and I see a relationship starting to build between them and then their oldest is Ryan who is Amber's age.

"The food is amazing" Mike said shoving more and more food I'm his mouth.

"Stop eating so fast or your gonna turn into Murray Hill" I said.

We all laughed including Avery. Avery was Jawa and Hannah's kid. They have 1 more though his name is Mike named after Mike.

So, Avery knows about the adventures of our lives.

Amber stopped eating" I'm done can I go now" Amber asked.

"Be polite and no. You can wait a little bit longer" I replied.

"I hate you. Also, if I was at that concert tonight with Anthony then you wouldn't have to worry about me being polite cause I wouldn't be here in this prison" Amber muttered.

Erica stood up and pointed Amber into the kitchen. Amber followed.

"Sorry about her behavior" I apologized.

"It is fine" Zoe replied.

I passed the potatoes to Jake. He stuck his lounge out. Jake got up and started shaking his butt.

"Jake! Sit down" I said.

Mackenzie stood up and started moving her hips all over the place. I dug my head in my hands. 

I don't even know how this all started.

 This is what happens when you have kids and you want to have a nice dinner with your friends.

I heard the door ring and Paul went to grab it. 

Next thing I knew Colin, Kenzie's boyfriend had his hands on her hips.

I stood up and pulled them apart from each other.

"I am super sorry" I said to Mike and Zoe. They stood up and came to help. Finally everyone was at the table. I grabbed a chair for Colin. He sat down next to Kenzie but I moved his chair right next to me.

Amber and Erica came out of the kitchen and Erica sat on the other side of me.

Amber sat there on her phone. I'm guessing Erica gave her, her phone if she would be quiet.

 The room fell silent.

------time Skip------

People had left a while ago.

Avery and Gabby stayed here to have a sleepover and they are in her room. Erica went to bed an hour ago.

I turned off the television and silently turned all the lights off and kissed my kids goodnight.

I walked into me and Erica's room.

Erica was sitting there. I went into the bathroom and took a good short shower. I put shorts on but not a shirt.

I went over to bed and got in. I got on top of Erica.

"How's my beautiful lady doing" I asked Erica.

"Not now Ben" Erica said as I kissed her neck and brought my hands to her hips. I rolled onto my side of the bed.

Erica turned to face me as I wrapped my arms and legs around her protectively.

I held her head with my hand as she barried her head into my neck. I rubbed her head"What's wrong baby" I asked her.

"I'm a horrible mother. I can not count how many times Amber said I hate you" Erica said" My kids shouldn't be that mad at me. They shouldn't like you more then me!"

Ouch that stung. Erica looked at me and realized what she said. Her face softened again.

"Sorry, Ben. You know what I mean. I don't want my kids to be mad at me. I want them to love me just like you do love me" Erica said.

"Erica, Amber is a teenager" I said.Erica escaped my arms and flipped over and moved away from me." What did I say wrong"

"Ben! Amber, isn't just a teenager. She's more then a teenager.

You don't understand"
