AN: This is probably the most I have written in a while. I have two other parts of this series(?) in the works but with my final year of university here, I don't know when I will find the time, let alone the inspiration to write. Prompts would be appreciated.

In the spirit of my favourite time of the year, enjoy your treat.

-Hectic Halloween-

"Elizabeth, you cannot wear your pull ups on your head."

Caroline couldn't help but laugh at what her husband had said. She had just walked through the door after a long shift and could hear the bedtime routine already in chaos.

"Leo, put your pyjamas back on!"

She shook her head and hung her coat on the stand by the door. Flinging her handbag onto the side table, she headed upstairs, to help her husband regain control of their eldest two. The sight that greeted her when she got upstairs was one that would live in her memory for a long time. Her eldest daughter was running around with a pair of pull ups on her head, giggling like a maniac, and her 2 year old son was chasing her around with a sparkly fairy wand, completely stark naked.

Jem was stood on the landing feeding their youngest daughter, Catherine, with an exasperated look on his face as all sense of control disappeared. He noticed his wife stood on the top step, her hands on her hips and a smirk on her face.

"Hello principessa, as you can see, the bedtime plans have all but disappeared."

Caroline shook her head and put on her best 'mum' face.

"Elizabeth, put those pull ups on properly and you, Leo, get into your pyjamas now!" Caroline ordered.

The two children instantly stopped what they were doing and looked at their mother.

"Yes, mummy" They chorused and headed back into the bedroom.

"Thank you." Jem said, still nursing their 6 month old daughter.

Caroline walked over to her husband and gave him a chaste kiss.

"How was work?" Jem continued.

"Chaotic" Caroline raised her eyebrow and gave him a glare, "What happened?"

"It turns out that Elizabeth and Leo managed to consume tonnes of sweets at the Halloween Party this evening and have been hyperactive ever since." Jem sighed, he looked extremely worn out.

Caroline had been dreading the party that evening as she knew that the kids would cause havoc when consuming large amounts of sugar. Jem hadn't been as reluctant to let the kids go to it but was now regretting his decision.

"You finished looking after Kit-cat whilst I get those two munchkins to bed." Caroline pressed a kiss to his cheek and took a deep breath before heading into the kid's bedroom. Luckily, they had done as they were told and were now sat on Elizabeth's bed, patiently waiting for their mum to read them a bedtime story.

Jem wandered downstairs, Catherine in his arms, happily guzzling her bottle and walked into the living room. He shook his head at the sight of the room. Toys everywhere and 2 pumpkin shaped buckets filled to the brim with sweets and treats. He vowed that once Catherine was settled then he would hide the sweets out of reach.

The PMC he was now working for had hosted a halloween for the employee's children. It had been a huge hit but he would bet that all the parents were regretting the amount of sweets and sugary treats that their offspring had consumed. He had hoped that they would've crashed from their sugar induced hyperactivity an hour ago but that hadn't happened.

As soon as Catherine had finished her bottle, he quickly burped her and placed her into the battery-operated baby swing that had been a godsend for them in keeping their infant children calm. He allowed the swing to lull their youngest to sleep and made quick work of locking the sweets away and tidying the toys up.

Caroline came downstairs 30 minutes later to find her husband laying on the sofa, half asleep. She decided to lay alongside him for a cuddle. He sleepily pulled her into his arms and cuddled closer.

"I hate halloween." Jem muttered.

"So I guess that means you don't want to see my halloween costume?" Caroline joked.

Jem opened one eye and looked at her before shaking his head.

"Stop teasing me," He closed his eye again, "I am far too shattered for sex."

Caroline chuckled, "Never thought I'd hear those words from you, Mr Womanizer."

"That was before we had 3 kids."

Caroline nodded and let out a yawn, she snuggled into her husband's arms and allowed sleep to begin to overtake her.

"Happy Halloween Sweetie" She mumbled sleepily.

"Next year, they are your responsibility." Jem replied before falling asleep.

Next Halloween would be interesting, especially with another addition to the family, not that either of them realised that yet.

I hope you all enjoyed this. The trick is I don't know when I will get something else up. xoxo
