Tobin's POV

"Amy who's at the door?" I yell cuddling farther into Alex. I swear A-rod is like a freaking polar bear. She keeps our room at like negative thirty degrees.

"We want to finish the movie!" adds Lex. We went and rented some action movie from the Redbox from down the street after dinner since I wasn't really feeling the whole "going out" thing tonight.

"Tobs can you come out here for a second?" calls Amy from the hall.

"Why?" I whine. I'm finally warm and it's taken like half an hour to find a comfortable position and I'd rather not lose it. Amy comes back in the room followed by the real Polar Bear of the National Team, Carli Lloyd.

"I need to talk to you about something." states Carli looking at me angrily. I sit up a little straighter at her glare. "It's about Morgan."

"Moe?" pipes in Alex concerned. "What's wrong with her? She's not hurt is she?"

"No Alex, she's not hurt." she dismisses shaking her head. "She's in trouble."

"What did she do?" I ask clenching my jaw. A-rod and I literally just talked to her about her behavior. She's been acting up a lot since Cheney left, we let it go for a little while, but now it has got to stop.

"Tobin there's other people..." trails off Carli referring to mainly Alex because Amy is just as involved with Moe as me.

"Yeah Alex-"

"No no it's fine if she hears. Who's she going to tell? Me?" I say seriously cutting off A-rod.

Alex hits me in the arm while saying, "That is not true you jerk! I could tell Syd or Kelley or Heather-"

"But you're not going to." interjects Carlos sternly. "You're going to-"

"I never said I was!" argues Lex sitting up. "I said I could!" Carli crosses her arms and raises her eyebrows at our younger teammate quieting her arguments and making me have to bite my tongue to keep from laughing.

"Tobin." warns Amy eyeing me. "Knock it off."

"Sorry." I snicker earning another slap from Alex.

"Alex!" scolds Carli coming over and grabbing her arm. "Go sit in that chair over there and hush." She says pulling her up with one hand and pointing with the other. Once she starts to move she turns her attention to me, "Stop."

"Sorry." I mumble looking down.

"What's going on with Moe?" asks Amy now becoming impatient.

"That kid won't sleep and now it's affecting Julie." says Car tensing up upset.

"What do you mean she won't sleep?" I ask confused.

"Is she having nightmares?" wonders Amy.

"No. They're just not going to bed when they're supposed to." she explains. "Julie could have just as much to do with this as Moe so don't think I'm just blaming her. I've briefly talked with Jay, but tomorrow I'm going to go into detail about what's going to happen if it doesn't stop. It's just it takes the both of them and-"

"Julie isn't the one to disobey, Carli. You know that." I interrupt. "I'll deal with Morgan as soon as she gets back. I know JJ wouldn't come up with this, but Moe? Oh Lor-"

"Tobin!" cuts in A-rod sternly. "Don't say that. It's not nice. How would you feel if she talked about you like that?"

"She already does Aims!" I protest. "She tells everyone on this team how mean I am."

"Tobs you know she-"

"I know, but she still doesn't need to do that." I explain a little hurt. When ever she gets into trouble she goes and acts like I'm some sort of monster for telling her to knock it off.

"Thank you Tobin." smiles Carli. "Now Hope didn't want me to talk to you about this so if you could keep this a secret I'd appreciate it."

"No problem." I nod. "Where's Hope anyways?"

"She's in our room with Jules."

"You'd think Hope would be the one to come talk to us. No offence Carli, but she's typically the one to get more upset with someone who's messing with JJ. Not that Morgan is exactly messing with her but you know." says Amy while picking up some of my clothes off the floor. "Tobin you're a slob."

"I know." I say smiling cheekily. "But you're right." I say to her before turning back to Carli, "I'm surprised it's you and not Hope."

"She doesn't want Moe to get in trouble." she sighs. "Which I find ridiculous because it's the only way she's going to learn."

"Yeah, but you still don't want her to get yelled at." pipes in Alex from the corner. Carli turns and looks at her.

"I thought I asked you to hush?" she ask raising an eyebrow.

"You can't-" argues Alex before getting interrupted by Carli.

"I can't?"

"I'm not a baby." pouts Lex crossing her arms. I have to admit it's kind of cute.

"You're the youngest here Baby Horse." points out Amy still picking up stuff.

"Yeah but that doesn't mean she's the boss of me!" she protest.

"Sure it doesn't." dismisses Carli turning away from her. "Hush."

"But-"

"Alex." warns Carli lowly. Julie wasn't kidding about her low voice. It is scarey. "One more word." Alex huffs and slumps back in the chair. I quickly cover my mouth to keep from laughing earning myself a look from Amy and for her to throw my clothes at me. "Ten minutes Baby Horse. If you talk it starts over." She rolls her eyes, but stays quiet satisfying Carli. "I'm going to go check on JJ so," she pauses and looks from me to Amy, "A-rod you're in charge of that." she says motioning with her head over at Lex.

"Alright I got it." smiles Amy walking with her to the door. As soon as she gets out Alex jumps up. "What do you think you're doing?"

"Getting up?" ask Alex confused. "You're not really going to make me sit there are you?"

"You heard what she said. Ten minutes." says Amy making me laugh. "Tobin you can join her if you don't quit."

"Aw I'm just playing A-rod." I say, but quickly stop laughing. "I'm going to go text the kid." I excuse myself from the room. I grab my phone and head into the hall. It's probably better to call her than to just text her. If I text her she'll just say she didn't know because she didn't see it or some other lame excuse.

"Hello?" she asks picking up.

"Hey, where are you?"

"We're at the ice skating rink. I told you that." she says with an attitude. I roll my eyes.

"When are you getting back?"

"Um..." she trails off for a minute. "A hour or two? I don't know Tobs. It's only eight-thirty." I pull my phone down to check. It's really eight-thirty-eight, but you know whatever.

"Well I need to talk to you about something. I want you back by nine-thirty."

"Nine-thirty!?" she yells. I quickly turn my head away. Gosh that kid has some lungs on her. "That's hardly an hour Tobin! What do you need to talk about so bad?"

"First of all, drop the attitude." I say growing impatient with her. "Second of all, it doesn't matter what I 'need to talk about' Morgan Paige. I want you here at nine-thirty. Period."

"Ugh!" she groans. "You're so unfair!"

"Yeah I know." I say sighing. "I'll see you at-"

Click.

She did not. I swear I am going to kill her. What ever happened to sweet baby Moe? Now she's just a brat. My FaceTime ringtone starts to blare making me jump. I see Lauren's face and can't help but smile. "Hey Cheney!" I wave.

"Hey Tobs! What's got you so happy?" she ask chuckling.

"You!" I say quickly.

"Huh?"

"Your child is killing me." I say seriously.

"Is that Tobin?" I hear Jrue ask from somewhere off screen.

"Yeah babe!" calls back Lauren. "Your 'daughter' is driving her insane!"

"Moe?" ask Jrue coming into view. "Hey Tobs!" he waves with a smile.

"Hey Jrue!" I say smiling back. "And yes, your precious little angel is making me nuts."

"Not my MoMo." he says shaking his head sarcastically. "Morgan doesn't have a bad bone in her body."

"Yeah right." I laugh. "This attitude of hers is about to get her into some serious trouble."

"Attitude?" ask Lauren genuinely confused. "Moe doesn't have an attitude."

"She didn't, but now she does." I tell her. "I wish sweet Moe would come back. I don't like this new one."

"What do you mean?" ask Jrue cocking his head to the side.

"Chens, now that you're not here she's been out of control. She's not following any rules that you had and she's a bit of a brat." I explain. Lauren's face twist up angrily and Jrue looks upset too.

"Were you just not going to tell me?" ask Lauren upset. "Tobin I'd like to know when-"

"I know, I know. Amy and I thought we could handle it." I sigh.

"Jrue can you go change our flight please?" ask Chen turning to him.

"Change your flight?"

"Yeah we were going to fly in for the game, but we can just come in tomorrow. It's only one extra night." she explains. "That's alright, right babe?"

"Yeah hunny." he says kissing her cheek. "I'll go handle it." He leaves and she turns back to me.

"What all has she done that's got you losing your head?"she ask. I crack a small smile before telling her everything. She sighs and tells me she'll see me tomorrow before hanging up so she can go pack.

Hope's POV

"I told you not to Carli." I whisper angrily not wanting to wake Julie. I can't believe her.

"They needed to know Hope!" she whisper yells back. "Tobin and A-rod will take care of it."

"But they don't need to!" I say quietly.

"How else is it supposed to be fixed?" she asks crossing her arms. "Morgan obviously isn't going to do it by herself."

"Yeah but still!" I argue. "You should have just left it alone!"

"Mom?" ask JJ waking up. I sigh and glare at Carli. "What's going on?"

"Nothing baby." I say tucking her back in. "Go back to sleep." I kiss her forehead and look back at Carli to continue our argument.

"Why's Mama mad?" mumbles Julie into the blanket.

"Mama's not mad." I tell her. "Shh and go to bed."

"But Mom-"

"Damnit Julie!" snaps Carli. "Stop talking and go back to sleep!"

"Carli!" I gasp. "What the fuck is wrong with you?" I shout. Julie starts to cry so I quickly try to soothe her. "Baby shh. Mama's frustrated. Stop crying." I finally get her calmed down and back to sleep before burning holes in the side of Carli's head with my eyes. "Are you happy now?"

"None of this would be happening if you would've just let me tell!" she whispers harshly. "This is your fault!"

Morgan's POV

Tobin is going to kill me. I take a deep breath as I knock on her and A-rod's door. I shouldn't have hung up on her. I'm such an idiot. "C'mon kid." sighs Tobin opening the door. "Let's go down to you room to talk. Julie's with Car and Hope so don't worry." I nod and follow behind her. "Why are you being so quiet?" she questions waiting for me to open the door. "I was expecting you to argue or somethin'"

"Sorry." I mumble sitting down on my bed. Tobin stands above me with her arms crossed.

"First, hand me your phone. Since you think it's okay to hang up on people, which it is not, it is incredibly rude, I will be keeping this until you can figure out how to properly say goodbye to people." she says holding out her hand.

"But To-"

"There it is!" she says smirking. "I knew you couldn't stay couldn't stay quiet." I sigh and look down while handing over my cell. "Second, what time have you been going to sleep?"

"Sleep?" I ask nervously.

"Mhm." she hums. "Don't lie either."

"Um I don't know..." I trail off. "Sometime after one maybe." I tense ready for her to yell.

"Moe." she sighs. "You know that's way past your bedtime. Why aren't you going to bed when you're supposed to?" she ask sitting down next to me.

"I don't know." I whisper laying my head on her shoulder.

"Kid, you know better than to give that kind of answer."

"Lauren used to tuck me in." I mumble blushing red.

"What?" ask Tobin making me sit up. "Stop mumbling."

I sigh, "Lauren used to tuck me in so now I can't make myself go to bed without it. I stay up until I can't stay up any longer."

"MoMo." she says softly giving me a hug. "You should've spoke up. A-rod or I will tuck in for now on okay? You just have to be ready for bed by eleven like you were for Laur, alright?"

"Alright." I nod.

"Go ahead and get your 'jammas on kiddo. You need some rest so you're going to bed early tonight." says Tobs getting up to get my bed ready. I smile and change before jumping on the bed. "Moe!" she laughs. "You're nuts."

"Can we watch TV?" I ask sweetly putting on my puppy dog face.

"Moe you really need to sleep." she says pulling my sheets up around me.

"Please Toby?" I beg.

"Fine." she fake pouts. "Scoot over."

"Yay!" I cheer reaching for the remote on the nightstand. I flip on the TV as she turns off the lights and crawls in next to me. I go through the guide before finding my favorite show and clicking it.

"Oh gosh. Moe please not-"

"SpongeBob SquarePants!" I sing in response to the captain. I hear her laugh before kissing the side of my head.

"Just go to sleep you weirdo." she says putting her arm over me. "I love you."

I smile happily and snuggle closer to her, "I love you too."
