Beck's POV

These past few months have been hectic. Taking in my three year old quintuplets was a bit overwhelming but it's been rewarding. I've enjoyed coming home to their smiling faces every day. I had complete full custody of them until a month ago. As a full time educator, it's kind of difficult to be a single father. My mom is a great help with them but she deserves to enjoy her life. I couldn't keep dumping the quints on her every day when I leave for work. Jade has become such a better mother, she's not perfect but she's trying. And, the kids do need their mother. After everything Jade has put them through, they're emotionally attached to her. Jade and I came to an agreement finalized by the court. She has proved that she's stable enough to gain custody back. Jade has them during the week, and I get them on the weekends. It's fair because I work during the week and Jade does her thing on the weekends. I don't judge her. She'll be free of it soon and things will be get better for her. I just know it.

No one's POV

Sunday afternoon, the kids had just woken up from their nap and Beck was preparing them to leave.

Beck: Robbie, sit still so I can put your shoes on.

Robbie: No. I don't want those shoes.

Robbie kicked his legs frustrating his father.

Beck: Robbie, we don't have time for this.

Robbie: I wanna wear my fireman boots not these.

Beck: Those are rainboots, it's 80 degrees and sunny out. You'll look silly.

Robbie's lip quivered as he started to cry. Beck sighed exhausted.

Beck: Alright buddy, go ahead and wear the boots.

Robbie smiled as he slid off his bed rushing over to the closet. He searched through it finding the red rainboots. He stuck his feet in.

Robbie: Yay, I'm a firefighter! I'm a firefighter!

Beck: Your boots are on the wrong feet, switch them.

Robbie sat on the floor taking off the boots to switch. Beck walked out the room heading to the kitchen to check on the four other tots.

Beck: Are you finished with your snack?

Tori: Daddy, Trina ate my crackers.

Trina shook her head with her mouth full.

Andre: Yes you did, you're eating it.

Beck gave Tori another graham cracker from the box on the counter.

Tori: Thank you, daddy.

Beck: Eat up, I gotta take you to your mommy.

Cat: Daddy, I'm finished.

Cat reached up to Beck, he reached down grabbing her. Robbie came walking into the kitchen.

Robbie: Andre, wanna play fighting with me?

Andre nodded jumping down from his chair. The two boys ran out the kitchen.

Trina: I wanna play fighting too!

Trina jumped down from her chair and ran after her brothers.

Beck: There's no time for playing, we're leaving.

Beck grabbed Tori taking her down from the chair to the floor.

Tori: I'm not finished yet.

Beck: You can eat in the car, we gotta go.

Beck rounded up the tots and strapped them each into their car seats in the van and they were on their way to Jade's place. She still lives in the same house she's been in for nearly four years.

Beck: Don't cry buddy, I'm not upset. It was an accident.

Beck unstrapped crying Andre from his car seat, taking him out.

Trina: Yucky Andre, you're a baby.

Trina laughed as Andre cried louder.

Beck: What did I say about teasing? It's not nice.

Cat: What's teasing?

Beck: Teasing is saying mean things to hurt someone's feelings.

Beck took Trina from her car seat standing her next to Andre. He unloaded the kids and walked them to the porch. He rang the doorbell and waited. The door opened revealing Jade, tiredly yawning. She opened the door and four of the tots ran in hugging her legs, then they ran off to their bedroom. Beck walked in carrying Andre as he cried.

Jade: I didn't think you'd be here until later.

Beck: I have a ton of papers to grade.

Jade: What's wrong with him?

Beck: He had an accident on the way here.

Beck passed Andre over to Jade.

Beck: You might want to change him.

Jade: What is he, a water bomb?

Beck: (chuckles) He drinks a lot of milk.

Beck rubbed Andre's head.

Beck: I gotta get going, see you on Friday.

Jade: See you later, Beck.

Jade closed and locked the door after him.

Andre: (crying) Mommy, I'm not a baby.

Jade: Let's get you cleaned up.

Jade carried Andre to the bedroom where the tots were already causing destruction. It's different than before. It took some time but Jade saved up and could afford to buy five individual toddler sized beds just like at Beck's. They even have toys and clothes here too. Jade placed Andre down helping him take off his pants and underwear.

Tori: Mommy, Cat's not sharing.

Tori pointed to Cat sitting on the floor with a Leapfrog toy.

Cat: I don't wanna play with you.

Jade: You two are gonna have to learn to share.

Cat: No, her can't play with me.

Jade: Share with your sister or I'm taking it away.

Cat frowned crossing her arms as Tori sat down to join her.

Robbie: Mommy, see my boots? I'm a fire fighter.

Jade: Yes, I see. Cool boots.

Robbie proudly hopped around the room.

Trina: Mommy, can you read this?

Trina walked over to her mother holding out a storybook. Jade finished with changing Andre and tossed his wet clothes in the hamper.

Trina: Can you read this?

Jade: Yeah, sure.

Just as Jade was about to take the book, the doorbell rang. She groaned annoyed.

Jade: Who could that be?

Jade walked out the room to answer the door. Her friend Gianna walked into the house. She and Jade have been friends since Jade had started stripping. She's who showed Jade the ropes and taught her about prostitution. Gianna is a single mother with two kids of her own. She looked around hearing the kids' noise.

Gianna: Sounds like your busy.

Jade: What are you doing out during the day?

Gianna: I came to see how you were doing because of, you know.

Jade rolled her eyes shaking her head.

Jade: Why do I need to be worried? He's not my problem anymore.

Gianna: Aren't you just a bit worried he'll be back to see you?

Jade: Fuck Zeek. He has plenty of other hoes to run to.

Jade sat on the couch with her friend.

Gianna: I can't believe it's been five months already.

Jade: They should have given him a longer sentence.

Jade and Gianna sat talking for a while. Tori ran out the room crying.

Tori: (crying) Cat's not sharing with me.

Jade sighed standing from the couch.

Jade: That's it. I'm taking that damn toy away.

Jade walked away to the bedroom. Tori walked over to Gianna's open arms getting placed on her lap. They could hear Cat's tantrum from the room. Moments later Jade came back into the living room.

Gianna: You okay? You seem exhausted.

Jade: Beck dropped them off too early and I had just woken up.

Gianna: I can keep an eye on them while you get yourself together.

Jade: Thanks. I need to shower, I haven't had any coffee. I am out of it.

Gianna: Were you busy last night?

Jade: (nods) I had several clients.

Gianna: I better get some tonight, I'm broke.

Gianna stood up carrying Tori to the bedroom. Jade showered and got dressed while the tots were kept occupied.
