Looking for marshmallows in the Spector household was something that was the hardest thing in the whole world for Charlotte Spector. She was looking high and low in the kitchen of her parents condo and couldn't find them anywhere! She looked over at her twin brother Adam who was too busy playing on the PS5 which he recently gotten for their birthday which their aunt Rachel and uncle Mike gotten them but Charlotte wasn't bit in the slightest interested in the games console. Charlotte sneaked up to her twin brother and shouted in Adam's ear.
"Where did you put the marshmallows?" As Charlotte jumped up behind Adam who was concentrating on COD game on the 70 inch flat screen TV on the wall above the long fire place underneath the TV.
"What?! What is wrong with you? I don't know where they are, mom and dad must hidden them." Adam jumped in surprise as Charlotte laughed at her brother.
"Why don't you know anything around here, you're a genius with where they put anything." Charlotte replied to Adam as she sat next to him on the plush couch.
"I don't know everything, and why do you want the marshmallows anyway?" Adam asked out of curiousty.
"Because I want to eat them and maybe I want to have some hot chocolate, actually what is with all the questions?" As Charlotte grabbed a pillow and smacked it across Adam's face and laughed.
"AAAAHHHHH... why don't you call mom and dad and ask them?" Adam smacked his twin sister back as revenge.
"We aren't allowed to, they specifically said we can't because they are on a date night remember?" Charlotte settled down next to her twin and relaxed.
"That's okay. Just text mom and ask her where she or dad put the marshmallows it's easy she'll only text you back." Adam shrugged it back concentrating back to his game.
"Hmmmm... no harm done I guess." She mumbled as Charlotte texted their mom.
Text message from Charlotte to Donna Hey mommy the marshmallows have gone missing any clues? And I hope you and dad are enjoying your date night? Love you x.
"Did you ask mom about it?" Adam asked his sister as he looked away from the TV.
"Yeah I WhatsApped her, just waiting for a reply which I highly doubt which won't be for a very long time." Charlotte put her phone on the coffee table and sat next to her brother and watched him play.
"You want to play football I'll thrash you?" Adam smiled at his sister.
"Go on! I'll be my team though and I will thrash you though by the way." Charlotte said.
"Oh you are so on!" Adam got his controller and jumped back on the couch when Charlotte's phone bleeped.
"It's mom, I have the answer let's see what she wrote." Charlotte read the text from Donna.
"Well where is the stupid marshmallow's then?" Adam asked his sister.
Harvey and Donna were on their date night at Del Pasto, while their twins were at home. They were old enough to look themselves even though they had each other. They had homework to do for school and plus they had their entertainment and also they were only a phone call away if there was an emergency or if they needed anything. Harvey and Donna wanted to have a date night once in a while and raising twins wasn't easy when they were working a lot especially Harvey being managing partner of Specter, Litt and Donna being COO of the company and sometimes working on the weekend. So it was impossible to be with the kids on the weekend and spending time with them, their lives were manic.
iPhone bleeps
"Charlotte is asking where the marshmallows are hidden?" Donna laughed as she read the text.
"Is she serious?! That girl and her marshmallows." Harvey laughed drinking his scotch.
"I'm serious, I think her and Adam are trying to make a mess of the condo and I don't like the sound of it." Laughing texting back her daughter.
"Well tell her that there is no more marshmallows." Harvey smirked at his wife.
"Harv... I can't tell her that when there's some hidden in the back of the treats cupboard, she loves her hot chocolate and marshmallows and whipped cream." Donna continued to communicate with her daughter via text.
iPhone rings
"Here we go, hey baby did you find them?" Donna smiles as smiles through his scotch.
"Adam says there's no more left and that he's eaten them all!" Charlotte rambled down the phone.
"No there is some left in the packet there, just look in the kitchen cupboard, and see if there a pink packet behind the peanut butter and jelly or the chocolate spread jars, if not then it's been moved sweetie." Donna explained to her daughter.
"Adam! It's not there I've looked more over. NO! NO! GO AWAY!" Charlotte argued with Adam.
"Hey, hey if you two are going to argue I'm going to hang up, now behave yourselves!" Donna shook her head at her husband.
"Give me the phone, give it to me." Harvey asked his wife smiling as he winked at Donna as she passed her iPhone to him.
"I don't know what they are doing." As she passed her phone to him.
"You two better have those packet of marshmallows! Where is your brother Charlotte Maddison?! Put your brother on the now! I'll be back, I'm putting them in order." As he whispers to Donna as he kisses his wife lips and winks at her.
"Do you want me to order you something?" Donna asked him.
"Another scotch babe, where is Adam what is he doing Charlotte, I had to leave your mother to talk to you two because your behaviour is unexceptable, you two are 12 not 2 so grow up and get off the phone and finish your homework or whatever you need to finish and stop fighting because the next time me and mom will get you a babysitter understood?!" Getting frustrated with his kids leaving the restaurant
"Dad she started it all she wanted was the marshmallows! We've found them in the bottom draw! They weren't in the treats cupboard." Adam explained to his father.
"Then were are they Adam?!" Charlotte argued.
"No I don't want to hear it! Just have your marshmallows and hot chocolate okay and behave yourselves, me and mom are a phone call away if you need us okay? As I said finish off your homeworks and don't kill each other otherwise we can't trust you to be on your own ever again, now be good okay? I love you guys." As Harvey walked back into in the restaurant to Donna who was waiting for him to come back. As Harvey explained to his kids as he put his hand of the bridge of his nose to calm himself down and took a deep breath.
"YOU TWO STOP IT! I'll buy a pack of marshmallows it's not the end of the world is it? Me and mom won't be out long okay? If you need us out cells will be on okay, If the marshmallows aren't there we don't have anymore unfortunately." As Harvey walked back into in the restaurant to Donna who was waiting for him to come back.
"Was everything okay with the kids?" Donna asked Harvey as he came back to the table to give back her phone and Harvey smiled.
"Everything was fine they were being pests, and being twins who can't stop fighting with each other." Harvey took his wife's hand and stroked it.
"Just like you and Marcus when you were younger huh?" Donna laughed as she sipped her red wine.
"Ahhh... they are worse than me and Marcus or yeah just like me and Marcus." As they laughed together.
After Harvey sat back down at the table the waiter gave them their main courses, they spoke about work, kids, their parents and up and coming vacations that they want to take. Harvey had a lot of high profile cases coming up and wasn't sure if they take a vacation so he had the idea of having all their families together at their condo. Even though it wasn't big enough even just a family BBQ would do just to hang out as a family for the twins 13th birthday make a big deal of it.
"I think we should make a big deal out of the twins birthday this year, go all big do what they want to do." Donna said as she sipped third glass of wine.
"Hmmm... why what was you thinking Mrs Specter? Balloons? Cake? The whole Shebang? I can't beleive their going to be turning 13 it makes me feel so old." Harvey smirked as he drank his scotch and smiled at Donna.
"Hey, how do you think I feel? besides I gave birth to them. Yes I was thinking a big party the works and they do deserve it Harv... they are our babies." Donna smiled.
AT THE CONDO
"You cannot still be playing that game come on Adam it's been like three hours already!" Charlotte complained to her brother.
"Okay, okay I'm nearly done, let me just do this level." Adam concentrated on his level.
"I'm going to my room I don't think mom and dad will be back for ages yet and it's going on 10 and it's late for me." Charlotte said as she made her way to her bedroom.
"Oh okay, more TV time for me then I guess." Adam played on his game.
An hour and half later Harvey and Donna came back to the apartment all quiet.
"It's nice and quiet too quiet for my liking I think they are in bed asleep." Harvey spoke as he put his keys on the counter top in the kitchen.
"Well it is nearly 12 babe you can't expect 2 12 year olds to stay can you?" Donna smirked.
"Oh I get your too funny." Harvey followed Donna into their bedroom.
