*Again, I don't own TVD. If I did I Bonnie would have had better plots and a dark season, as I think we all know*

Request from jacpin2002: the kids they ambushed me…

Bonnie struggled to get all of the groceries inside of the house. She had four bags in her arms and somehow (she still didn't know how) managed to open and close the front door with one foot. It seems being a stay-at-home mom had upped her flexibility, she thought with a wry smile.

The house she shared with her husband and three children, all triplets was her Grams' old house. Since the kids were born they had done some renovating adding an additional nursery and a bathroom since Bonnie was not willing to share the privacy of her bathroom with three screaming kids. With two boys, and a little girl, all of whom had inherited their father's penchant for trouble, she barely got any peace or quiet as it was.

Speaking of quiet, the house was way too quiet. Around here, that could only mean one thing. The kids were doing something they shouldn't.

"Kai?" she called out. "Kids? Anyone?"

Weird.

She put the groceries down in the kitchen and went to search the house. She checked the children's room first. It had changed a lot. In place of three identical cribs there were now three beds. The room was a complete mess. There were toys everywhere.

So Kai hadn't made them clean their room like she had asked them too. She sighed in frustration.

"Kai?" she called out more frustrated now. "Where is everyone?"

She checked the living room, empty. The kid's bathroom, empty. The upstairs was empty as well.

Frustrated and starting to get worried, Bonnie went downstairs to the laundry room. She hesitated at the steps to the basement. She hated that place, it was dark and damp and still scary even with all of the remodelling Kai had done.

She backtracked to the entrance way, grabbed the discarded hockey stick in the entrance way. Kai had all of the kids playing hockey so there was always gear all over the house. It was another thing, he was supposed to clean up.

Did he do anything on his days off? Other than goof around with the kids and mysteriously disappear?

Holding the hockey stick up, Bonnie went down into the basement. The laundry room door was ajar. She pushed it open with the hockey stick. She heard a scuffing noise like a chair on the floor.

She burst through the door with the hockey stick held high and when she saw what was on the other side of the door, she burst out laughing.

Kai was tied to a chair. He was wrapped up in their daughter Sheila's skipping rope and a sock was stuffed in his mouth. His eyes were big panicked. He was shoving the chair around, straining against the rope and trying to get loose.

Bonnie dropped the hockey stick. She rushed over to him and removed the sock. She stroked his cheek.

"Kai, what happened to you?" she said even though she had a pretty good idea.

He was breathing heavily and he looked completely panicked.

"The kids!" he cried. "The kids ambushed me!"

"Oh, Kai," Bonnie couldn't help herself she started to laugh. "Oh, honey, how did this happen?"

"They put that stupid rollerblade in the doorway, I fell and they pounced. They're animals! Animals! Little rodents all hopped up on sugar!"

Bonnie was still laughing as she untied him. He got to his feet and rubbed his wrists, but when he caught her eye, he started laughing too.

"I think we're going to have to ground them."

"They're terrible! Bootcamp for all of them."

"Kai," Bonnie said between laughter. "They're just like you."

That was too much for him and he threw his head back and guffawed. He wrapped his arms around her. Still laughing, she wrapped her arms around his waist. She put her head on his chest and his rumbling laughter shook her.

By the time they had both stopped laughing, Bonnie could barely breathe. Kai had laughed so hard, he had tears in his eyes.

She took his hand and he gestured for him to lead the way.

"Oh, they're gonna be in so much trouble they'll wish they were never born."

"Come on, Kai it's not that bad. At least they worked together."

"Yeah, it's great. They team up to ambush their dad."

"Maybe now you'll appreciate everything I do around here."

Kai turned around and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. As usual, she was overcome by how fit he was. She loved how warm he always was and how big and strong he was too. It made her feel safe.

He put his hand under her chin and turned her face up too his. He placed a soft kiss to her lips that made her breath catch. He broke the kiss and touched his forehead to hers.

"I appreciate everything you do. For starters, you get through the day without getting tied up," she grinned and he kissed her forehead. "I love you, Bonster."

"I love you too."

Her fingers caressed his jaw. She loved his stubble.

"Come on, let's catch those little deviants."

Bonnie trailed behind Kai. She kept her hand in his and tried not to show how funny she thought it was. If the kids ever found out, they would do it again and who knew how long Kai would be tied up for then.

As it turned out, the kids were in the kitchen pantry. Sheila with her curly afro had her head buried in a box of cookies when they opened the pantry door. Rudy was climbing the pantry shelves trying to reach the chips on the top shelf while Joe, was sitting surrounded by empty pudding cups, he even had chocolate all over his face.

"There you are," Kai said putting on his serious face.

"What did you little rugrats do to your dad?" Bonnie said giving them a stern look.

Three guilty faces looked at them.

Kai took Rudy by the waist and put him back down on the floor.

"We're sorry, mommy and daddy," Sheila said.

"But dad wouldn't let us have candy!" Rudy protested.

"What could we do?" Joe said with a smile that was too much like his father's for Bonnie to stay angry.

Both of the boys could have been carbon copies of Kai. They were almost completely identical to Kai as a child except their skin was a little darker. Sheila on the other hand looked just like Bonnie when she was that age.

"How about?" Kai said and put his hand on his chin. "Next time you listen instead of tying me up like a pack of hooligans?"

"And you're all grounded for a week."

"What about hockey?" Sheila asked looking up at them with big green eyes.

"Except for hockey," Kai said. "Can't have my all star team going soft?"

They grinned and Bonnie shook her head. She supressed a smile.

Yup, there was definitely never a quiet minute in this house, Bonnie thought. Kai put his arm around her waist and she rested her head against his shoulder. But she wouldn't have it any other way.
