"Livvie get up."
"Fitz please I'm so tired."
Olivia pulled the blanket over her head. Neither of them had slept for more than two hours at night since they came home from the hospital. Fitz closed his eyes for a second and he was dreaming. Another loud wail and he opened his eyes. They were all crying.
"Livvie get up!" He said, stumbling in the dark.
Olivia stayed under the cover. Fitz turned on the bathroom light and grabbed a towel. He soaked it with cold water and pulled the blanket off Olivia. She screamed when cold water dripped on her head.
"Fitz!"
"Get up."
"I don't know how to make them stop crying. I need to sleep!"
"You don't get that luxury anymore. I'm going to work tomorrow. You can sleep when they nap."
"No you're not. I'm going to the office. You stay here."
"Are you out of your mind? You can't go anywhere. You gave birth last week."
"You stay with them. I need to work."
"I didn't get a degree and certifications to be a stay at home dad. I work, you take care of the babies."
"You can bring your work home."
"I can't work with all this noise."
"I need you here."
"Okay, so you can go relax at work. Go to sleep at your desk after your lunch break. That's what you want Livvie."
"We both want that."
"You need to stay here and let me work."
"Can we let someone keep them for a few hours? How about Marcus and Shanice. They shouldn't mind taking our kids for a few hours. We never asked them for anything when we helped Shanice."
"They are not keeping their six kids and our newborn triplets. They will laugh if you ask them that."
"I'm calling them now."
Fitz took the phone from her hand. "You are losing your mind Olivia."
He grabbed her hand. "Let's go Livvie. Hopefully they will sleep after a feeding and a diaper change."
