You guys are amazing thank-you for reading my story without all of you I wouldn't write this. So here's to you.

We walked to the park in the centre of court where the kids usually play. Sitting around a picnic table we scoffed our breakfast and laughing at all the jokes the kids kept making. It still amazes me how well they work together, how each joke they bounce off one another. They finished first and I let them go play on the playground while Steve and I finished in comfortable silence. My watch beeped signalling 8.00 time for work. I sighed.
"You okay?" He asked me. I looked into his eyes
"Yea just gotta go report to Hans and check what the plan is for today." I sighed again; I didn't want to leave my children. I looked over at them wishing I could stay with them. He followed my gaze seeing the wistfulness in them
"Want me to watch them for a while before bringing them back?" He asked so sweetly, I brought my yes back to his
"Thank-you" I stood up and pecked him on his temple before turning t o my giggling children.
"Dzhosh, ·eeti!" (Josh, Katie!) I called to them, "syuda, pozhaluĭsta. YA dolzhen idti v doklade na opekuna Gans." (come here please. I have to go report in to Guardian Hans.) They ran over to me
"No mama, my khotim, chtoby provesti vremya s vami" (But mum we want to spend time with you) Katie wined breathless
"YA znayu, rebenka, no Khranitelʹ Rog budet zabotitʹsya o vas, poka ya ne vernusʹ v poryadke?" (I know baby but Guardian Horn will look after you until I come back okay?) I said as I knelt down to look them in the eyes
"Khorosho ..." (Okay...) they said together
"Kogda u tebya sleduyushchiĭ urok Gardian -Alʹto?" (When's your next lesson with Guardian Alto?) I asked curiously
"V 10. Pochemu?" (At 10. Why?) Josh said
"YA uvizhu vas do etogo ya obeshchayu." I kissed their foreheads (I will see you before then I promise.)
"YA lyublyu tebya do svidaniya" (I love you bye) I stood up and began walking away
"Lyublyu tebya tozhe mama. Do svidaniya" (Love you too mum. Bye) they called after me.
Finally I got to Guardian headquarters, the time read 8.05. Great I was 5 minutes late, not that I was ever on time anyway.
Hans stood behind his desk steering intently at a wad of papers. I knocked quietly on his office door, his head whipped up and his eyes looked slightly annoyed.
"Good morning Hans" I said pleasantly, he continued to scowl at me
"Morning Guardian Hathaway" he replied coolly. He didn't say anything more and I didn't offer anything else. Soon it became awkward
"So... Um... Hans can I get the week off?" I asked
"Why?"
"Well my kids are here and I haven't seen them in months and I want to spend some quality time with them" I stopped realising that I was beginning to rant. He looked thoughtful before he agreed and organised to have Selena and Grant take over for me. I thanked him and went back to my house to plan what I was going to do for a week.

"Tasha..." I whispered inching forwards towards her sleeping form.
"Tasha..." I whispered again. She groaned, I paused and flicked my eyes to Andy who was sitting on my bed after winning against me at paper, scissors, rock. I still can't believe that I lost to a 4 year old, it's embarrassing.
"Tasha time to get up."
"Go away Dimka" she growled
"I got breakfast... Pancakes... You're favourite" I said giving her shoulder a shake. Her eyes opened quickly and before I could move my hand away she grabbed it and pulled me towards her before moving out of the way so I ended up on the bed and she was sitting at the table eating the food.
"When do you want to go see Christian and Lissa?" I asked. She looked thoughtful,
"Tomorrow, I want to sleep today" I nodded silently while my mind screamed at me telling me to run to her room and kiss her and hold her and never leave her again. I shook the images from my head.
It was silent in the room when Tasha jumped back into bed after giving Andy a kiss.
"Dimka I'm bored" Andy said loudly
"Shhhh," I hushed hi while thinking of what he could do here
"Want to go to the park?" I asked him, he nodded his head so hard I thought it would fall off. It took all of my will not to laugh out loud so as to not wake up Tasha again. I took his hand in mine and we set off to the park.

Mama went to see Guardian Hans leaving us with Guardian Horn. He's really cool, I want my hair to be spiked like his.
"Dzhoshua ty menya slushaeshʹ?" (Joshua are you listening to me?) Katie's voice asked me annoyed
"Chto?" (What?)
"YA skazal, khochu igratʹ tegi?" (I said wanna play tag?)
"My ne mozhem na samom dele eto tolʹko nas dvoikh on ne rabotaet" (We can't really it's only us two it doesn't work) her face fell; I don't like her being sad. A thought ran through my head
"My mogli by sprositʹ Gardian Rog igratʹ" (We could ask Guardian Horn to play) He face lit up and she nodded fast. I turned and called out
"Khranitelʹ Rog khochu igratʹ tegi?" (Guardian Horn wanna play tag?) He looked at me confused when I realised I asked him in Russian not English
"I mean... Guardian Horn you wanna play tag with us?" He smiled but then frowned
"I'm sorry buddy but I have to keep a look out here" Our faces fell
"But I promise when I'm not on duty we can play" I looked into his eyes he really was sorry
"Okay" I said before turning to face my sister and shrugging.
We climbed up to the top of the playground and sat on the wooden platform and began to talk about what we can do to prank Guardian Alto.
"Vedro vody nad dverʹyu?" (Bucket of water above the door?) Katie suggested, I shook my head
"Net, on eto zametit "(No he will notice it) she thought more
" Gm... Chertezhnaya na yego mesto? "(Um... a thumbtack on his seat?) again I shook my head
"Net, on uvidit yego" (No he will see it) she looked at me annoyed
"Vy pridumyvaete chto-to potom..." (You come up with something then...) I thought for ages thinking along the lines of water balloons, flour balloons... then it hit me the best prank ever...
