Valentine Surprises

Chapter 8

"Oh this one looks good" Lincoln said while he reached into Nicole's valentine box full of chocolate and candy.

Lincoln and the twins were in the family room on the floor, he was helping them go through their Valentine treats. As Lincoln snatched one of the chocolates, the twins tried to get it back from him.

"Hey" Nicole chirped. "I like that kind" she said and reached to get it back. When he lifted it away from her reach Nicole rolled her eyes and gave a sigh before crawling over to him. Lincoln saw her coming and as he laughed he held up his arm high in the air. Nicole wasn't giving up and climbed into his lap and reach up.

"Uncle Linc" Nicole pouted and stuck out her lip.

"Nicole Elizabeth Scofield" Linc huffed.

While Linc and Nicole weren't looking, Matt got a mischievous grin on his face and snuck up behind Linc. He still held his arm up high so Nicole couldn't reach and when Linc wasn't paying attention Matt jumped on his back and grabbed the chocolate bar and then took off running down the hallway.

"Hey, you little sneak" Linc said jumping up and chases after him.

Nicole started laughing and screaming as she ran after them. "GO Matt, watch out he's coming."

Matt quickly ran into his dad's office and hid behind the door and waited for his uncle to follow him. So just like he planned Linc walked right into the office. Matt watched as Linc walked right over to the desk to see if Matt was hiding under the desk. Slowly Matt came out from behind the door and quietly ran out the door and shutting it behind him. Matt took off running down the hall giggling as he met up with Nicole.

"Very cute you two!" Linc said opening the door.

Matt and Nicole just smiled and continued running away from him. Suddenly they heard the front door open. The two ran towards the door and saw their dad standing there. The giggling twins ran behind their dad as Linc also made his way to the front door. He stopped as soon as he saw Michael.

Michael turned to the twins and then saw the chocolate bar in Matt's hand and then turned back to Lincoln.

"Linc please tell me you didn't get them high on sugar for the baby-sitter"

All Linc did was give a guilty grin.

Michael sighed "Great now poor Jess is going to have them bouncing off the walls tonight."

Michael walked into the family room with Linc and the twins and he saw their boxes full of chocolate and candy. He made his way over to the box and pulled out a piece of chocolate.

"No daddy, don't!" Matt pleaded sticking out his bottom lip.

"No" Michael chuckled. "No, no" he bent down and scooped up Matt in his arms and tickled him.

"Hahaha" Nicole laughed at Matt.

"What so funny missy?" Lincoln said as he picked her up and brought her over to the couch and tickled her.

About ten minutes later Michael and Lincoln were past out on the couch. The twins on the other hand were having fun giving them makeovers with their mother's makeup.

Moments later Sara and Hannah walked in the door. They could hear giggling coming from the family room. Slowly and quietly Sara and Hannah entered to see Matt and Nicole applying makeup to a sleeping Michael and Lincoln. Trying not to laugh, Sara cleared her throat.

Matt and Nicole heads wiped towards their mother and Hannah looking as guilty as ever. "Uh oh" Nicole said.

"Yeah uh oh is right, busted." Sara said with her arms crossed.

"Now go put my makeup back"

Matt and Nicole nodded as they hopped off the couch. "We sorry mommy," they said with their crystal blue eyes looking at her.

"Ok, but when your father and uncle wake up you're on your own."

The two nodded and ran upstairs.

Once they were out of the room Sara and Hannah turned back to Michael and Lincoln and couldn't help but laugh. They moved closer to the couch and gave both the sleeping beauties a nudge.

"Hey you two beauty queens better wake up because we have high expectations tonight," Hannah said.

"Yeah and you better not be going like that" Sara laughed.

Both Michael and Lincoln woke up all confused. Sara smiled and held a mirror in front of them.

"Oh my God, what-?" a shock Lincoln said about his green eye shadow and blush.

"Where are the two devils," Michael said looking at the blue eye shadow and pink lipstick.

Sara laughed as she pointed up the stairs. Michael and Lincoln jumped off the couch and ran for the stairs. "You two have done it now!" They could hear playful screaming coming from the twins room as Michael and Lincoln entered.

Sara and Hannah shook their heads and laughed at them. Sara walked into the kitchen and Hannah skipped in behind her. "So do you know anything?"

Sara turned to Hannah and said with a straight face "I got my answers this morning."

Hannah smiled "And?"

Sara let out a sigh "And nothing" without another word Sara made her way upstairs to hers and Michael's bedroom. Hannah remained in the kitchen trying to figure out what Sara knew.

Later that night the front doorbell rang and Sara went to it. "Michael, make sure their pajamas are on, Jess is here" She called upstairs before opening the door to see a young teenage girl with short brown hair and brown eyes.

"Hey Jess come on in" Sara smiled.

"Hi Dr. Scofield" Jess said politely.

"Jess I've told you, call me Sara I'm not your doctor tonight" she said letting her in. "Michael should have the kids in their pajamas already."

The two made their way upstairs to the twins room. As they entered the room they saw the twins in their pajamas and play wrestling their dad. Sara and Jess stood in the doorway watching them for a moment. "Okay you three time to settle down. Daddy and I have to go and Jess is here to play with you now."

"Yay" they shouted running to give her a hug.

Michael got off one of the beds and made his way to Sara. "I'll be ready in ten minutes." He gave her a kiss on the forehead and made his way to the bedroom.

As promised Michael was ready in ten minutes. He came out of the bedroom wearing a nice black suit. He met Sara in the hallway and saw her in a strapless cream colored dress. Her auburn hair had large curls that framed her face perfectly. "You look amazing" Michael said with a mischievous grin on his face. His hands moved to her waist and his lips were leaving a trail of kisses on her neck. "Mmm you smell good too."

Sara gave a soft moan, "Save that for later" she said seductively.

Michael gave a grin and hand in hand they made their way down stairs. They walked into the playroom where Jess was playing with the twins. "We're on our way out now. If you need to reach us I have my cell on and I also left the number for the restaurant on the fridge as well okay" Michael told her.

Jess nodded and then Nicole and Matt ran to give their mom and dad a quick hug and kiss.

As Michael and Sara leave, Nicole and Matt wave to them as they pull out of the driveway. After they were gone Jess came into the room. "Okay why don't we make some dinner,"

"Yeah" the twins said as they ran into the kitchen with Jess.
