Chapter 6-Finally Said

"So, I guess we won't be going back to Chuck E. Cheese for a while," Pheobe stated as she walked into the living room holding Jalynn and Jadynn.

"You say that like it's a bad thing," Cole told her as he sat on the couch, utterly exhausted from the day's events.

"Well, I won't get to see that look in your eyes when you saw Chuck walk by again," Pheobe said laughing, before she left the room, attempting to put the twins in their cribs .

Cole turned on the tv, and started to dose off, too tired to even keep his eyes open anymore.

"Cole, come here!" Pheobe screamed.

Cole, not knowing what had happened, jumped up and ran into his twin daughters' room.

"What happened? A demon?" Cole asked, raising his hand to form an energy ball.

"Jalynn just said her first word," Pheobe told him.

"What did she say?" he asked as he let the energy ball desolve and picked up his baby girl. "Did you say dada?"

"She said Chuck," Pheobe said, supressing a giggle as she saw the look on Cole's face.

"What did she really say?" Cole asked.

"She said Chuck. I'm serious. I was putting her in her crib and she just said it," Pheobe explained.

Cole glared at her.

"I think I'm gonna go check on Ben and Jaclynn," she said, in an effort to get away from him before she started to burst out in laughter.

Cole picked up Jadynn.

"Come on, Jadynn, say dada," Cole tried to help the child along, his last hopes of having one of his child's first word being dada resting on her tiny shoulders.

"Ben, it's bed time," Pheobe said as she walked into his room where he and Jaclynn were playing tag.

She picked up the little girl and put her to bed before returning to her son's room to tuck him in.

"Sweet dreams," Pheobe said as she walked out of the room.

"Mommy," the boy started.

"Yes?" she asked as she walked back into the room and stood next to his bed.

"How come you don't live wif us?" Ben asked.

"Well, because I live with your aunts and your cousins," Pheobe told him as she kneeled beside his bed. "I'll explain more when you're older."

"Do you love dem more dan us? Is that why you live wif dem?" Ben asked, his bright brown eyes waiting for an answer.

"No, baby. That's not why," she told him, not knowing how to explain everything that had happened to a three year old.

"Den how come you never lived here? Mommies are posedto live wif der kids," Ben asked. "Do you hate daddy?"

"No, I don't hate your daddy. I love him," Pheobe told her son, smiling as she finally admitted to herself what her heart had always known.

"Den, live wif us, pwease mommy. I'll be good. I pwomise," he said as he hugged her.

"It's not that easy, baby," she said.

"Why not? You love daddy," he asked, clearly confused with how adults had to complicate everything.

"I'll tell you when you're a little older. Go to sleep," she said as she gave him a kiss and left the room.

She walked into the living room to find a sleeping Cole sitting on the couch, remote still in his hand, fully clothed, shoes and all.

She smiled seeing him this way and walked over to him, wanting to at least make him more comfortable. She started by pulling his shoes off and taking the remote control out of his hand. She carefully pushed him so that he was now laying on the couch instead of the sitting position that he had been in. She pulled his legs on the couch and amazingly, he stayed asleep. She pulled a blanket off the back of the couch and covered him with it.

"I love you, Cole," she whispered as she planted a kiss on his forehead.
