Wesley set the bags on the island as he came into his kitchen. The two children went running for their play room. Their mother sat down on the couch and propped her feet up. Wes sighed deeply and then began to make dinner. The kids would be thrilled with pizza and that's all he really felt like making. So, he popped the frozen pepperoni pizza in the oven and set the timer then sat down in his leather armchair in the living room. The timer went off twenty minutes later just as Wesley was falling asleep reading his newspaper. He stood and put on some oven mitts and then took the pizza out of the oven. He cut it and put it on plates just as the twins came bounding into the kitchen "Where's Mommy?" Little Jazz looked around for her mother and then went to her and grabbed her hand to pull her off the couch. Maddox looked up at his father with shame filled eyes.
"I'm sorry about the fireworks, Daddy." the little boy stated sheepishly "It's okay." his father reassured him with a pat on the head and then herded him and his sister to the table while their mother came into the kitchen from the living room. Both children began munching on their pizza as their parents cringed with each drop of tomato sauce that hit their clothing. After dinner it was decided, with great reason, that a bath was in order. Both children were taken to the bathroom and stripped and then lowered in the bathtub to be scrubbed.
Maddox splashing his sister and parents the whole time. After the bath the children were separated and taken to their rooms. As Wesley helped his little boy get dressed he realized how much he really wasn't angry about the whole firework incident. Lilah brushed her daughter's hair after she dressed her in the fuzzy pink pajamas and then promised to come back after she checked on how her father was handling her brother. The sight that greeted her in the room was adorable, she had to admit. Wesley had Maddox laying in bed and was gently rubbing his back to get him to sleep.
"No fair starting without me." She kissed her son's cheek and then pull his rocket ship blankets around him. Wesley watched his wife. He really did enjoy these vulnerable moments of hers.

They went back to Jazz's room and Wesley lifted her in his strong arms and laid her in her bed.
"Goodnight, Daddy." the little girl said in a sleepy voice.
"Goodnight, princess." he kissed her forehead as her mother sat by her side.
"Goodnight, Mommy"
"Goodnight, Jasmine." Lilah pulled the Barbie comforter to her daughter's chest and then gave her cheek a kiss.

Wesley and Lilah made their way back to their own bedroom.
"They're sweet aren't they." he tempted her to take this and say something kind and motherly.
"Yeah, I'm just glad they're asleep." She said this with a small smile though and then stripped into her bra and panties that drove Wesley crazy. He stripped down to his own boxers and then climbed in next to her.
"What do you say, Mrs. Wyndham Pryce? Shall we have a few more kids?" He said as he kissed her neck.
"Get a condom, buster." She rolled over as she said this.
