Here's the next chapter :) Enjoy and review!

When they got home, the twins were still asleep. Tom lifted Libby out of her seat and gently carried her inside, laying her on the bed in the spare room where Dougie had left Sam. It was six-thirty, too early to put them fully to bed, but they didn't want to wake them up. After leaving them up there, McFly headed back into the living room to watch some TV.

'Well that was a fun day I reckon,' Harry said, putting his feet on the coffee table and taking a long drink of the orange juice he'd taken from the fridge.

'Yeah, was good,' Tom replied. He was in the recliner and had it fully reclined, pretty much falling asleep. Even Danny wasn't talking much. They were watching the evening news.

'Where was Jane going, did she say?' Harry asked.

'I dunno, mum just said she had to sort something out with her husband, that's all,' a sleepy Dougie replied.

'Alright then,' Harry replied.

'What are we going to do with them tomorrow? Seriously, it's just a full time job keeping them entertained,' Danny said from where he was sprawled right across the couch.

'No idea,' Dougie replied.

'We could take them to that huge playground on the other side of London, they seem to love them,' Tom suggested.

'Yeah, I guess that sounds alright, it's good to wear them out,' Harry sighed.

'There's a circus on Monday, should we take them to that?' Danny asked.

'I guess. It's entertaining them right?' Dougie said and they nodded.

'Who's in whose room tonight?' Tom asked, flicking the recliner back to the sitting position.

'I'll have Libby if you want,' Danny said.

'Alright and I have Sam,' Dougie replied.

'I could seriously fall asleep right here...' Harry sighed, lying on his back on the floor.

'Tom, did you close their door?' Dougie asked.

'No, why?' Tom asked.

Dougie suddenly awoke from his doze and jumped up. 'Because none of the other doors are closed up there!' he exclaimed, turning on his heel and running up the stairs to the spare room, Tom, Danny and Harry on his heels. Dougie quietly pushed the door open. The two beds were empty, Libby and Sam's shoes lying on the floor next to the beds.

'Oh no,' Tom sighed, putting his head in his hands.

'Right, Dougie, you've got downstairs kitchen and living room, Harry, all the other parts downstairs Dougie won't do, Danny, you've got the bedrooms and I'll try everywhere else, how does that sound?' Tom suggested. They nodded and took off to where they were supposed to be looking.

---------

'Libby? Sam?' Dougie called, searching under the couches, behind the TV, inside all the cupboards and everywhere else he could find. No Libby and no Sam.

--------

'Guys? We can play hide and seek later, just please come out!' Danny was pleading as he looked in everyone's bedrooms, under their beds, in bathrooms, inside wardrobes. There was absolutely no sign of them and Tom and Harry hadn't had any luck either. Until Harry heard a crash from the music room. He sighed and raced off to investigate.

-------

What Harry saw made him want to quietly slink out of the room and pretend he'd never seen it and wait for someone else, like Dougie, to find them.

The whole room looked like a bomb had gone off. Lyrics, sheet music, paper, extra guitar strings and picks, drumsticks, pens, guitars lying on the floor, drums turned upside down, chairs tipped over. Libby was in the process of drawing pictures all over more of Tom's lyrics that had all been carefully sorted and thought out. Harry didn't want to see him when he saw it. Sam was scribbling on the walls using a purple crayon and black permanent marker.

'Libby. Sam. What have you done?!?' Harry yelled. They both jumped and looked around at him with evil grins.

'Nufing,' Sam replied.

'My arse you've done nothing, out, both of you come on!' Harry exclaimed, picking each of them up and plonking them outside the room, slamming the door behind them. He stood and examined the huge mess, running a hand through his hair, squeezing his eyes shut in frustration. He decided to go back to it. The kids needed a punishment first, as much as he regretted having to give them one. He opened the door and they had disappeared. He found them again sitting on the couch with Tom, Dougie and Danny.

'I think you need to come take a look at this,' Harry muttered out of the corner of his mouth to the other three. They nodded and stood up.

'Now I want you two to sit here until we come back and think about what you've done which was very naughty, alright? Don't do it again,' Harry said, getting down to their level, a technique he'd discovered from boring times sitting on the couch while sick watching Super Nanny while everyone else was in interviews or something. Harry led the other three to the music room.

'Shall we get an ambulance on hold for Tom?' Danny asked, taking out his phone. Harry half laughed and pushed the door open. Danny swore under his breath, Dougie emitted some kind of weird squeak and Tom just stood there in shock. He tried to speak but a strange croaky noise came out instead.

'I know. Come on, let's get this cleaned up,' Harry sighed, plucking all the drum sticks up out of the piles of mess.

'Go get the kids Doug, they can help.' Tom had finally found his voice. Dougie nodded once and came back, the two kids walking guiltily at his sides. It looked like they knew what they'd done was wrong.

'Come on, can you kids please pick up aaaaaallllll the guitar picks that look like this one?' Danny said, kneeling in front of them and holding up a purple one. They nodded and got onto it without a fuss. Harry gave Danny a satisfied nod and set about turning all the drums upright again. Two little shadows were blocking his light. He looked up. Libby and Sam were standing in front of him looking upset.

'We sorry Harry,' Libby said, grabbing Harry's leg and hugging it, Sam attacking the other one, knocking Harry off balance. He fell backwards and landed heavily on the wooden desk in the corner. Danny, Tom and Dougie burst out in laughter, making Libby and Sam laugh too. Harry sat up, feeling all the aches and pains in his body from falling. He inspected his arm. A long red scratch went from his forearm to his wrist. His knee was beginning to bruise and the lump on the back of his head was throbbing. So much for the coordinated Harry everyone knew and loved.

'You alright mate?' Danny asked, holding out a hand. Harry gratefully took it and Danny pulled him back to his feet.

'Yeah, fine,' Harry replied, brushing himself off. Libby put her arms up. Harry gingerly picked her up, his shoulders immediately feeling the whole day of carrying either her or Sam.

'Come on Libs, let's get your mess cleaned up,' Harry said putting her down. He could still feel his cheeks glowing red in embarrassment. They set about picking up all the paper and everything else on the floor. Dougie had a bucket of water and was scrubbing the wall.

-------

The doorbell rang at about seven-thirty.

'I'll get it!' Danny exclaimed, running out to the door. Tom smiled and shook his head. Danny had always insisted on answering the door when they moved in. Except for when he was sleeping or otherwise occupied doing Danny Things (for example under the couch searching for his iPod). They continued cleaning up.

'Dougie!!!' Danny practically sang as he skipped into the room, Dougie's mum trailing behind him.

'Dougie sweetheart! How are you?' his mum asked, stepping over all the mess and planting a big kiss on Dougie's forehead and pulling him into a big hug.

'Mum, geroff!' Dougie said, his voice muffled by his mum's arms. The two kids started laughing.

'Hello Tom, Harry. How are you?' she said, stepping back over to near the door.

'Good,' Tom and Harry said at exactly the same time.

'Good, good,' she replied. 'And how are you Sam and Miss Libby?'

'Good,' the said, smiling up at her like angels. Harry gritted his teeth. Why couldn't they act like angels for them?!

'What happened in here?' she asked.

'The kids decided to do a little decorating of their own,' Harry said through gritted teeth.

'Oh, alright then,' she replied with a smile.

'Can we get you anything Mrs Poynter?' Tom asked politely.

'A cup of tea would be nice Tom,' she smiled.

'Sure, follow me,' Tom said heading towards the kitchen.

'Come on kids, you head into the lounge with Danny. He'll put you on a DVD and get you something to eat, okay? I want you to stay there too. No repeats of what happened earlier,' Harry said, gently nudging them forwards.

'Yeah, come on! We'll get you some Dora the Explorer or something?' Danny asked, taking each of their hands. The two kids walked with Danny down the hallway. Dougie and Harry could hear them telling Danny what they wanted to watch.

'Come on Doug, let's go talk to your mum,' Harry said and together they went into the kitchen where Tom and Mrs Poynter were sitting at the kitchen table. She had a cup of tea in front of her and Tom had coffee. Three other cups were sitting next to the kettle. Harry went and filled them with hot water and milk and coffee. Danny came back into the kitchen, took a bowl of biscuits into them along with some milk. He came back and took his coffee. The kids were quiet apart from the occasional giggles and singing along to the songs.

'So, how are you coping?' Dougie's mum asked.

'Not bad...' Tom trailed off.

'What do you mean by that Tom?' she asked, taking a sip of her tea.

'Well its good when they're good... but when they start getting tired they get grumpy and won't listen and we don't know how to make them stop crying without feeding them sugar!' Tom exclaimed.

'Like most kids their age. When they cry just leave them and they'll eventually wear out. Now, I saw the mess in the other room, what'd you do about them when they did that?'

'Told them off and made them sit on the couch and then help us,' Harry replied. Dougie's mum nodded.

'Also, Sam wets the bed. What do we do?' Dougie asked.

'Wake him up during the night to take him to the loo,' she replied.

'Alright,' Dougie replied.

'Apart from that you're happy to look after them til Tuesday?'

'Yeah, we're fine. Only problem is keeping them entertained,' Harry replied.

'Danny!' A little voice called from the lounge room.

'Be right back,' Danny replied, finishing his mouthful of coffee and heading into the lounge.

'There's a circus on Monday afternoon if you need an idea,' Dougie's mum replied.

'Yeah, we were thinking of taking them to that,' Dougie replied.

'Alright then, I should probably head off, was just on my way out for dinner and thought I'd drop in and see if you were coping alright,' she said, standing up and putting her cup in the sink.

'Thanks mum,' Dougie replied, getting up to see her to the door.

'No problem darling,' she replied, planting another big kiss on his forehead.

'Mum,' Dougie grumbled, rubbing at his forehead to get the lipstick mark off.

'I miss you at home Doug,' she replied.

Dougie didn't answer. He still felt guilty about leaving her, even though it was almost three years ago.

'Alright then, look after yourself, Jane should be back about eleven on Tuesday,' she said as Dougie followed her out to the car.

'Alright, where's she going anyway?' Dougie asked as he opened the door for his mum.

'She's had to go up to Manchester to finalise some things about her and her husband's divorce. And to think they have two kids under four,' she said sadly.

'Yeah... she hasn't called her kids either. I remember when you and dad would go away you'd call every night. They haven't even done that,' Dougie said.

'Yes, well I'm sure she'd have a good reason for that, call me if you need me darling, and have fun!' his mum said.

'I will, drive careful,' Dougie said, shutting the door and waving her off.

------

When Dougie walked back into the lounge room he was met with a funny sight. Danny was giving Libby and Sam horsey rides around the couch, Libby using his hair for reins and Sam was kicking him in the hips to try and get him to move.

'Ow! Sam stop kicking!' Danny exclaimed as he walked forwards on his hands and knees. Harry and Tom were standing in the doorway laughing.

'Don't ask,' he said when he looked up and saw Dougie standing watching. Sam kicked a little too low and got Danny in the groin. He fell to the floor with a groan, clutching the front of his pants, landing on top of Libby.

'Danny! Get off Libby!' Tom exclaimed, racing forwards and grabbing Libby out from underneath him.

'Oww, Sam, don't kick there,' Danny groaned, rolling around on the floor while Sam grinned.

'Come on then, bath time,' Tom said, carrying Libby up the stairs, Sam following on behind.

'You alright there Dan?' Harry laughed as he followed Tom up the stairs.

'Ughhhhhh,' Danny replied, his eyes squinted shut. Dougie followed Harry up the stairs too.

------

Tom, Harry, Libby and Sam were all up in Harry's bathroom when Dougie made it up.

'I don't want a bath!!' Sam was whining. Danny came up too and as soon as he opened the door Sam took off out it. Dougie, Harry and Tom all made a wild grab for him but all missed, Dougie landing flat on his face on the tiled floor.

'Danny!' Tom exclaimed, running off down the stairs.

'What'd I do?' Danny asked, coming over carrying Libby and Sam's bags.
