Jack and Sally were lying together at the top of spiral hill. They were exhausted from some of the "stuff" they did earlier and they knew that it was about time to head back but why now, after all the kids didn't call yet. Jack snuggled closer to sally and he gave her a kiss.
"I love you Jack."
"I love you too," Jack said as he traced his finger along the stitches on her head. Then he traced it down along the stitches by her neck that went down to her chest. She looked so pretty in the moonlight. He was about to kiss her again when the phone rang.
"Damn! Well I guess nothing good ever lasts."
Sally started to put her clothes back on as Jack answered the phone.
"Hello."
"Dad the twins are crying again."
"Okay we'll be back in a few minutes. How were things?"
"Uhh…okay."
"Okay Sid what did you break this time?"
"The window."
"How the hell did that happen?!"
"Well…Jackie was getting in one of her 'moods' again and she was…"
"So you got in another fight."
"Yeah."
"Okay we'll be back soon. You're grounded."
"That didn't sound too good." Said Sally.
"Sid and Jackie got in another fight and Sid broke the goddamned window!"
"When will they learn?"
Jack got all of his clothes back on and they went back home.
"Jack, I have something to tell you."
"Don't tell me that you're pregnant again."
Sally laughed, "No that's not it."
"Well what do you want to tell me?"
"I kinda…sewed Jackie's mouth shut before we left."
"Why?!"
"I didn't want her to start screaming while we were gone. I wanted to spend some time with you and I didn't want her to ruin it."
"I can see why. You do realize that some people would think that's child abuse?"
"Yes, we're almost at the house and I can already hear crying. And it doesn't sound like it's just Chris and Holly either."
They entered the house to see Sid sitting in the corner rocking back in forth, whenever he broke something Jack got pissed and when Jack got pissed HE GOT PISSED. Jackie was crying on the floor with a bloody mouth, and the twins were in their rooms crying.
"Oh my God just look at you Jackie!" said Sally.
"Oh my God just look at that window!" Jack said sarcastically, "That window's coming out of your allowance young man!"
"What allowance!?"
"That's enough of your smart ass remarks go to your room!"
Sally was wiping the blood off of Jackie's face.
"Oh baby mommy's so sorry. Mommy didn't know any better. Let mommy make it all better. Jack can you take care of the twins, I've got to sew Jackie's mouth together."
"Okay but come up to help as soon as your done."
As Jack walked up the stairs he remembered how much fun him and Sally had just an hour ago. It was unlikely but he wished that they would have the energy after they got the twins to go to sleep to do it again.
