A/N: I'm posting this with FF being a fail, so I don't know when you will all get this. I want to take the opportunity to say a thousand thank you's to all of you who have reviewed and stayed with me from the beginning. Some of you have even gone as far as to share a bit about yourselves in the reviews. We are all so alike and yet so far from each other. And I still hate those of you who did not have any morning sickness... so unfair. But thank you for making this experience a memorable one. I hope to do this again in a future war or I may just begin another drabble of my own. I did already write "Selfish" so why not? Thanks again and leave me one last review. Much love and kisses.

Simply Promised

Chapter 62

BPOV

5 Years later...

"Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!"

Arggh, I swear if I hear one more mommy I'm going to pop my ear drums on purpose.

"Mommy!"

"Stop it! That's mine!"

"Gimme!"

Jesus, please make it stop, I pray.

"Mine!"

"No, mine!"

"Mommy!"

"Kids!"

Oh, thank God he's home.

After a couple of minutes of silence, I hear the footsteps from the kids running from the living room to the back yard.

While I mentally recuperate from the last couple of hours, Ed walks into view.

"How did I know I would find you here?"

I look up from my hiding place in the closet behind all my long dresses.

I smile guiltily before he helps me up and greets me properly.

He pushes me against the closet's wall and pins my hands above my head.

His fingers circle my wedding band.

"How long have you been hiding from the monsters?" he asks, his nose skimming across my collar bone.

I try to remember how long ago the last fight began before I needed a break and ran to the first place that came to mind... actually the only place they never find me.

"Fifteen minutes," I answer breathlessly.

His legs step in between mine, forcing them to stay open for him.

I panic for a second and wonder if the kids will come running inside... or even worse, play power rangers and actually sneak in on us again.

That was traumatic.

"The kids," I manage to gasp, his hips flexing onto mine.

"With Emmett."

Oh, nooooooo.

"Where's Rosalie?" I ask, hoping she's downstairs babysitting him babysitting my kids.

"She's helping Alice train Jupiter with the baby." He smirks, enjoying the way he always says Jasper's name wrong, even if the dude is not here to hear it himself.

I roll my eyes and push Ed away from me, I begin to make my way down the stairs.

"You can't leave a bunch of kids with a grown kid, Ed. Don't you remember what happened last time?"

He should remember cause I sure as hell will never forget.

Emmett was supposed to babysit Claire and our three-year-old twins Maddie and Luke while we went on a date.

Not even half an hour into the date, Emmett calls frantic that he can't find the kids.

They had gotten bored at playing hide and seek and Claire decided to take the kids to the park down the street instead.

Ed laughs and says, "Oh, come one. He learned his lesson. It's not his fault our kids outsmarted him."

I snort. "And apparently you haven't learned your lesson if you think they won't outsmart him again."

He manages to wrap his arm around my waist and stop me from saving Emmett.

"Let them have fun. Let us have fun."

His free hand drifts down my stomach and slowly inches it's way inside my capri jeans.

I let my head fall on his chest and close my eyes, enjoying this moment before we're interrupted as it always happens.

His middle finger is about to reach the land of "Yes Please," when he suddenly pulls it away and huffs.

"What's wrong with mommy?" asks Claire.

I start to laugh uncontrollably.

Leave it to Ed to get us started only to get cock-blocked again by Claire.

We haven't had sex in almost a month.

Dealing with kids, work, housework, more kids... the day doesn't have enough hours and we're just too tired to even try sometimes.

Our clocks are on reversal: he gets urges during the day, and I get them whenever I am able to shower that day.

I'm dying here and I swear I'm getting carpal tunnel.

"Mommy has a fever and that's why she is red."

I continue to laugh.

I'm going crazy... I know it.

"Then why is she laughing?"

"She's laughing because she has a fever and can't control herself."

He pinches me lightly on my ass.

"Why?" She looks so innocent especially when she tilts her head to the side, her auburn hair bouncing along her shoulders.

My little tomboy, always wearing overalls.

"Because she is sick, remember?"

"Why?"

"Because she needs special medicine that only daddy can give her."

"Why?"

Yeah, daddy, explain yourself out of this mess.

He heaves a sigh as I step away from them with the excuse of finding better medicine for my fever.

Once again I end up splashing cold water on my face with the background noise of my kids torturing Emmett and an inquisitive little girl wanting to know the why's of the world.

Six years ago, I was at a stand-still and scared to move forward.

Now with all the changes that have happened in my life, one would think I would be a resident at an asylum.

Even though the thought seems very enticing at times...

I smile my way through the day and thank God for blessing my life with my three little monsters and a husband who is still my best friend.

All because I Simply Promised.
