Everything has been better ever since the Armstrong incident

Tim and Ted have been bonding more often

Along with Tim's daughters, Tabitha and Tina

Ted would come to family occasions instead of just sending presents

As for Tina, her family business is no longer a secret from her mom, but she still likes to be treated like a normal baby, something about loving the baby feeling

Yup, everything was good, until that one dinner

"Thank you for the meal, dad" Tabitha said from across the table, picking up her baby sister and heading to her room leaving Tim and Carol alone with the empty dishes

They looked at each other, smiled, then Tim got up

"Where are you going?" Carol asked her husband, who was picking up the dishes

"I'm washing the dishes today, you just rest" He said with a warm smile

"You washed them yesterday, you know"

"So?"

"So it's not fai-"

Suddenly...she felt a pair of soft lips press on hers,cutting her off

Then they broke free, looked at each other and giggled

They stayed like this for a while, just looking into each other's eyes, falling in love all over again, until Tim broke the silence

"It's okay, we can do them together tomorrow"

The brunette smiled, little does she know, how hot it suddenly got for her husband

"Eeeww"

The couple turned to face the audience

"This is gross" said Tabitha in a disgusted tone

Tina replied "Kinda cute though"

They all looked at each other

Then their laughter rang through the house

--

"But it's too early" Tabitha whined in her bed "Can i stay up a bit more?"

"Sorry, Tabi" Carol said "But you have to sleep early, grandma and grandpa are coming tomorrow"

Tabitha frowned "Okay"

Carol saw her daughter's sad face, which, to her, was the saddest thing she could ever see

Then her face lit up

"You know," the older woman said with a smirk "I don't think it's really that late"

"Really, mom?" Tabitha said in an excisted tone

Carol nodded

"Thank you, mom!" She said with grinning ear to ear "I'll get Tina and you get dad and we can watch a movie together"

"I don't see why not"

Just before reaching the doorknob, Carol felt a pair of small hands rapped around her

"I love you, mom"

"I love you too, sweetie" she said leaning down to return the hug

--

"Don't worry, Carol" Tim mumbled in his sleep "I'll save you"

The girl in question smiled at her husband lovingly, it wasn't rare that she would find him talking in his sleep, nor it was rare that he would mention her name during his sleep, either way, Carol loves her husband deeply

"Oh, Tim-"

"From the angry dishes"

She looked at him in surprise, then started giggling like a baby

Little does she know, he wasn't asleep

"And the dirty clothes"

More giggling

"And the tickling monster"

Before she knew it, she was tackled down on the floor with her husband next to her, laughing while tickling her with both his hands

"That's what you get for eating the last cookie" He said with fake anger

"You ate the last one last time" She said through laughter

The brunet kept tickling his wife, laughing himself

"You think you won, huh" Carol said in a competitive tone

"Of course i did"

Just after that, she got up from Tim's hold and started tickling him as well, his laughter got louder, just like hers did

--

"That was fun, wasn't it?" Tim asked his wife

"Yeah"

"Carol," Tim said

"Mhm"

"I love you"

She looked at him and smiled "I love you too, Tim"

They stayed like this for a while...just staring into each other's eyes until-

"Mom! Dad! The movie is ready"
