Thanks for the great reviews..you guys rock!
Mark watched as the two girls were tucked back in bed. "I mean it you two, that's enough of playing around, no more TV, go straight to sleep." Misha said tucking the girls back in.
Danni sighed. "If I hadn't screamed ya wouldn't even know we was up, but that explosion was soooo cool."
Misha sighed. "I mean it both of you, right to bed, no second chances, if you don't , then there is going to be no swimming for the rest of the week."
Both girls nodded. "Okay..sorry."
Misha got up. "Goodnight."
Both girls said goodnight and Mark came over to stand by the bed. "You're lucky Misha is the one that got here first."
Trini looked as guilty as could be, but Danni just shrugged. "Didja at least kiss her or tell her you was sorry for being a jerkface?"
Mark frowned. "Its not to late to tan your hide ya know."
"Misss Misha..he is threatening me!" Danni called out.
Misha just shook her head at the two's bickering. "C'mon Mark, let them get to sleep."
Mark turned and followed Misha out of the room and he shut the door. "I cant believe those two."
Misha just shrugged. "Kids will be kids , its not the worse thing in the world, just sneaking in a little TV time."
Mark shrugged. "I guess..well I'm going to go watch TV a while before bed."
Misha nodded. "I'm going to catch up on some reading."
Mark watched her go in her room and headed for his bathroom, he needed a shower first.
The next week, things seem to settle in a regular routine. The kids seemed in much better sorts, now that Misha had them in a regular routine. She got them up at the same time, she made sure they were busy, playing, coloring , drawing, they took trips to the park. Mark could see the change in the baby and Danni, even though in his opinion Danni was still a real smart mouth. He still thought a well placed swat or two would do her a world of good and he just hoped her bad habits were not rubbing off on Trini. The two had taken to taking turns sleeping in each others room at night and more often than not, they seemed to get in some small amount of trouble after bedtime, mostly trying to stay up longer than they were supposed too.
"Now Mark..I have to take the baby to the doctor's for her shots and I have some errands to run, you sure you're are going to be okay with the girls?"
Mark rolled his eyes as he got up to pour more coffee. "Yes..I'll be fine..I'm not a dummy ya know."
Misha smiled. "I know, its just they can be a handful." Leaning back against the counter.
Mark wanted to grab her and kiss her till her face was all flushed as she was whimpering like she was that one day. They hadn't kissed since, even though Danni for some odd reason was constantly telling them they should. But they both had retreated away from that one kiss. They still had tea together every night, but he stayed on his side of the table, he figured starting something up with his nanny was about the dumbest idea in the world. He might want her in the worst way, but he wasn't stupid, if things went bad, the girls would lose out. They were doing so much better under Misha's kind mothering.
Mark sipped his coffee and tried not to stare at her. "I'm going to take them down to the wal-mart and get them some bikes and maybe a scooter too and we're going to that big park that has a bike path."
Misha nodded. "Well just make sure you get helmets for them okay?"
Mark nodded. "Will do."
Misha smiled and unhooked Lexi from her high chair handing her to Mark. Mark lifted the smiling baby high in the air causing her to squeal. "Say Bye Bye to daddy Lexi." Misha said grinning at the two of them.
Mark kissed the babies cheek. "Bye Lexi, you be a good girl for Misha."
Lexi babbled at him and he handed her back to Misha. "See you this afternoon."
Misha stopped in the den , where the girls were playing candy land and waved at them. "You guys be good for Mark, okay?"
Trini got up and ran over hugging her mother. "we will, see you soon."
Misha kissed her cheek. "Danni get over here and give me a hug."
Danni blushed, but she got up and came over hugging Misha, she was glad Misha always asked her for a hug, because she felt silly just giving her one sometimes. Sometimes she worried that Trini might get jealous if she hung all over her Mommy, but she didn't seem too. "Bye Miss Misha."
Misha kissed her cheek. "See you soon."
The girls went and sat back down on the floor at their game. "Your mama is really nice Trini." Danni bit her lip, playing with her game piece. "My mama hit me a lot and yelled at me a lot..you're lucky."
Trini scooted around and put her arm around Danni. "No body is gonna hit you no more..cuz I will sock em if they do..an my mommy can be your mommy too kay...I bet your daddy will start kissing her soon and then they will get married and then we will be a real family." Trini said trying to comfort her.
Danni looked at Trini."You won't be mad ta share your mama?"
Trini smiled. "Nooo I don't mind..you don't mind sharing you daddy do ya?"
Danni shook her head. "He don't like me no ways, least he already likes you."
"Hey he likes you and he loves you, he is your daddy okay?" Trini said hugging her friend.
Danni sighed. "If you say so." Trini just hugged Danni. She didn't like it that Danni felt so unloved by her daddy.
Mark watched the girls run from bike to bike trying to pick out what they wanted. "Mister Mark." Trini said running up to him .
"Find one?" He asked.
"Yeah I think we both did." Trini said leading him to the next isle. "I want the Disney princess."
Mark nodded, he told them to pick whatever they wanted. "How bout you Danni?"
"I want the black one..I just wish it had skulls on it." She said.
Mark couldn't help but grin. "I tell ya what, next time I go to the shop , I'll have Mike put on some custom designs for you, hows that?"
"Coooool, thanks." She said clearly excited.
"Okay lets grab some helmets and then we will head to the park." Mark said.
"Can I get a skateboard?' Danni asked.
Mark looked down at her. "You know how to ride one?"
"Yeah please..I'll be careful?"
Mark nodded. "Okay..lets get this stuff together and get going."
The girls skipped happily behind him, thrilled with their new bikes.
Mark sat on a bench watching the girls, Trini was riding her bike back and forth on the path and Danni was on the skateboard. "Danni don't go where I can't see you!" He called out.
Danni sighed and turned back around and rolled back toward Trini. "Hey lets go down there..see that curb, I'm going to try to board on the edge of that, I seen people on TV do that, its called a grind."
Trini got off her bike, still holding on to it. "Umm that sounds dangerous, maybe you shouldn't do that."
Danni smiled. "I know what I'm doin' , you worry to much, c'mon..he is talkin' on his phone."
Trini looked over to see Mark deep in conversation, she wasn't a tattletale and Danni acted like she was pretty good on the board , so she got on her bike and followed Danni.
Mark was discussing some personal appearances with Vince, even though he was officially retired, he still showed up on smackdown once in a while. "Yeah a month from now, thats good." Mark was saying when he heard a bloodcurdling scream. "I gotta go." He slapped the phone shut shoving it in his pocket and looking around. "shit." They had wondered off and he was sure that was Trini screaming.
Mark rushed down the path, he spotted the girls near the edge of the park, near the curb and rushed over, Trini was bawling and bent over Danni who was laying on the ground. Mark turned white when he saw the big gash on her little arm, blood running out. He quickly pulled his shirt off and bent over wrapping the shirt around her arm, pressing his hands down to stop the bleeding.
"Mister Marrrk, she felll off tha curb!!!" The little girl wailed out.
Mark was worried because Danni wasn't crying, she was laying there, he knew it must hurt like hell. "She's gonna be fine, we need ta get her to the hospital though okay." He said trying to speak calmly even though he was panicked himself.
Trini nodded and backed up so Mark could pick up Danni. "Alright Danni..lets get you to the doctor okay, get you fixed up."
Danni bit her lips, she wanted to cry like a little baby, but she had to be tough after all her daddy was the Undertaker, she couldn't act like no wimp, she just nodded and laid her head against his chest closing her eyes.
Mark worried about her lack of reaction, made sure Trini was following close behind him and took off for his truck.
