(A/N: Story revolves around the anarchy of Collins and Maureen's kids, triplets to be exact; Thomas Jay, Mary Jane, and Marley Eliza. This is what I do in my free time, make up kids for Rent couples…I need a life…)

Maureen and Collins did the mistake of leaving their three kids at home, Collins knew the 6 year olds were too young to be left at home but him and Maureen had to go shopping, they needed food and Jay was out growing all is clothes in a hurry, both parents knowing he'd be tall like his father. Before leaving they went over rules as they stood at the door, all three kids lined up in front of them.

Collins gave them all a "what's about to come out of my mouth you all obey or I'll kick your ass" look, "There will be no unlocking this door, not using the oven or anything sharp, you are all to stay in this apartment."

Maureen looked at Collins, "Don't be so hard on them, they know better."

Collins gave Maureen a "shut the fuck up" look and turned back to the kids, "Understand?"

All three kids nodded their heads, Collins smiled, "Good. We'll be back in an hour."

Maureen and Collins shut the door behind them; all three kids looked at one another.

Jay smiled at his two sisters, "I'm finding spiders and putting them in mom and dad's bed!"

Marley and Mary Jane laughed at Jay, Marley got a huge smile, "Let's set up some pranks while they're gone!

All kids ran around the house, Marley and Mary Jane got a piece or clear wire from their crafts box that Maureen had gave them and taped it too the wall and counter of the kitchen. Jay went and grabbed two fake spiders Roger gave him last Halloween for him to do something like this with; he taped one on a cabinet in the kitchen and placed the other one under the sheets of Collins and Maureen's bed.

Marley and Mary Jane got butter from the fridge and went to go put it on the floor in front of the door, Jay looked at them, yelling "No, don't do that!"

Mary Jane looked at him, confused, "Why not?"

Jay sighed, "Mom and dad used to prank everyone, uncle Roger told me about it. If we do anything right when they walk in they'll know there's other things around the house."

Marley looked at Mary Jane, "He's right." She looked over at Jay, "What else should we do then?"

Jay smiled, "Well, when they get home they'll go to the kitchen, find all our traps there so I say once they get home we move from the living room to our bedroom…"

Both the girls looked at each other and smiled, all of them started running around the house again. About an hour passed and Maureen and Collins arrived home, Collins carrying the groceries while Maureen had a bag of clothes which she laid on the couch in the living room where Marley and Mary Jane sat coloring while Jay watched TV. Maureen kissed their foreheads before walking back over to Collins who was having trouble locking the door so she locked it for him. Collins turned to look for the children as he saw the door to their bedroom closing.

"At least the house is in one piece and not burned to ashes." Collins said, looking around as they walked to the kitchen, Maureen was ahead of him, luckily noticing it before she passed the counter that separated the kitchen from the living room, "Woah!"

Maureen quickly stopped in her tracks, "What? What is it?"

Collins smiled at her and looked back down at the floor, pointing the best he could with his hands occupied with bags, "Oldest trick in the book."

Maureen looked and saw a wire right in front of her, one more step and she would've fell face first into the ground, stepping over the wire; Collins copied her, both of them turned and looked at the wire once again, Maureen giggled, "Little brats."

Collins stepped on it, the tape snapping off the wall, Collins laughed, sitting the bags on the counter, Maureen opened the fridge and turned to Collins as she waited to be handed stuff to put in there. She yelped and slammed the fridge closed running to the other side of the kitchen. Collins looked at her like she was crazy, "What's wrong?"

Maureen gave him a scared smile, "Now, honey, don't panic…"

Collins raised an eyebrow at her, "Why would I panic Mo?"

Maureen pointed at the cabinet in front of him; he looked up and pounced over to Maureen like a scared cat, hugging her, "Kill it!"

Maureen gasped and pushed him off of her, "You kill it!"

Collins looked like he had seen a ghost as he stared at Maureen, "But Mo!"

"You're the man! You kill the fucking arachnids!" Maureen yelled.

Collins sighed turning to look at it again, he grabbed a bowl off of the counter and slammed it over the spider, Maureen jumped up, both of them freaking out, Collins looked at her like he was in pain, "What do I do now?!"

Maureen looked as if she was about in tears, pacing back and forth, "I don't know!"

They stood there for a few minutes staring at the bowl; Collins free arm wrapped around Maureen's waist, Maureen looked at Collins, "Slowly remove the bowl…"

Collins looked at her as if she was insane, "I ain't slowly removing shit so that fucking thing can pounce on me!"

Maureen smacked his chest, "Just do it, trust me."

Collins removed his arm from Maureen's waist and jerked the bowl away, hopping up on the counter on the other side of the kitchen; Maureen looked at him then at the spider.

She got closer, grabbing it with her hand; Collins yelled at her, "What are you doing? Have you fucking lost it Mo?"

She pulled it and he heard tape snap up she held the lifeless, fake spider out in her hand, Collins stared at it, snatching it from her storming out of the kitchen, Maureen followed him, Collins turned to her in the middle of the living room, "Those little bastards are your kids!"

Maureen covered her mouth, laughing, "Oh, Tommy, don't be so hard on them, you know once you get past your pissed off spell you're going to be proud of them."

Collins looked from the door to the triplets bedroom back to Maureen, "Shut up. And don't call me Tommy, you know I fucking hate that shit."

Collins stormed for their bedroom, busting his ass in the process, he looked around at the floor, sliding his hand on it, "They put butter on the floor! The little hellians!"

Maureen burst into laughter, covering her mouth. Collins stood up, keeping himself steady so he wouldn't fall again and went to open the door, not being able to grip it due to the butter on his hand, "Son of a bitch!" he used his shirt and opened the door walking into the room, followed by Maureen who about busted her ass as well but luckily Collins caught her, "That's what you get for wearing heels all the time."

Maureen rolled her eyes before both of them faced the three kids who sat in the floor, facing them with huge smiles, making Collins heart melt, Maureen knew right then his mean streak was over as he went and sat with them, Marley and Mary Jane sitting in his lap, Maureen stood against the door frame, looking at them.

"We totally got you two." Marley giggled.

Collins smiled and kissed her cheek, "Yes you did." He turned and kissed Mary Jane's cheek as well, pushing them up from his lap and standing up again, "You guys get ready for bed, tomorrow me and your mom will teach you how to be good pranksters to get your uncles and aunt."

The kids smiled as they all hopped in their beds, Collins looked at them, shocked, "You've all brushed your teeth and everything?"

They all giggled and spoke in unison, "Yep!"

Collins smiled, grabbing Maureen's hand and turning off the light, a nightlight lit up the room as Mary Jane was terrified of the dark, both parents started to walk out of the room, Collins turning before closing the door, "Goodnight, love you guys."

"I love you guys too." Maureen giggled, making sure not to slip on the buttery floor.

"We love you more!" All the kids sang in perfect unison making Maureen and Collins laugh as he shut their door.

He busted his ass once again and huffed, Maureen giggled, "Wow…"

Collins glared at her, "Shut the hell up and clean it up while I put up the groceries."

About half an hour passed and Maureen cleaned the floor spotless of any butter and Collins had put away everything, including the kids books and crayons. They walked to their bed room, Collins going into the bathroom to brush his teeth and Maureen standing in front of the dresser as she got dressed for bed.

Maureen smiled at Collins who stood in the doorway, ready for bed, "You're so not tough with them. They melt your heart and you know it. They turn you into the cuddly bear you know you are."

Collins rolled his eyes, turning the light off, "Shut the hell up and go to sleep."

Both of them crawled into bed, Collins turning over and wrapping his arms around Maureen. Maureen whispered, "I think one of the kids left their toys in the bed."

Collins sighed and lifted the covers, both of them looked to see what the kids had left in the bed, they both screamed and fell off the bed and onto the floor; Collins crawled to the light switch and flicked it on.

Maureen stood up and saw a spider in the middle of the covers, Collins walked back over, looking at Maureen, "Is it fake?"

Maureen shrugged, "I don't know, the only reason I knew before was cause I could see the tape…"

Collins went pale, "Touch it."

Maureen looked at him, "Fuck that! You touch it!"

They argued back and forth until their door opened to reveal the three hellians, Jay ran over and grabbed the spider running out of the room, both the girls looked at their parents and smiled running over and hugging them both before running out of the room yelling "Goodnight mommy and daddy, we love you!"

Maureen glared at Collins, "Those are your fucking kids."

"Bullshit!" Collins laughed.
