"Well, not everyone is as busy as my baby so they can all," Trevor’s eyes shot down to their seven year old twins, Jonathan, aka "Johnnie", and Sebastian and their six year old twins, Mathew and Jessica, ere all looking up at their father innocently, too innocently, Zoe noted, "go suck an egg," Trevor finished, pursing his face up like he sed a leht

Zoe narrowed her eyes on the two sets of fraternal twins, and she thanked god everyday that they weren’t identical because she really didn’t kno she’d handle the little deviants if she couldn’t even tell them apart, and wondered what they were up to now When all four of the Bradford s to be bad

Very bad

"What did you do?" she de to cross her arms over her chest and look stern, but unfortunately for her it never really had much of an effect on her kids

"Why, whatever do you mean, mommy?" Sebastian, the perfect picture of innocence, asked Like the rest of his siblings he had her hair and eyes, but his father’s devastatingly good looks and charm and wasn’t afraid to use them

"What did you kids-" Trevor started to say, no doubt noting the sweet shtened as she was, only to be interrupted when one of the cashiers, a pretty blonde in her late twenties who’d been eying Trevor like candy since they’d walked in, announced that their order was ready After giving the children a look of warning he gave her a quick kiss and went to the counter to get the boxes of baked goods

Johnnie gave her that saave her when his teacher, who’d been tre at the time, informed her that he believed the twins had been the ones to lock him in the closet with the school’s pet snake, "Choppers" She hadn’t bought his innocent act then and she wasn’t buying it now

"Remember what your father and I said earlier If either one of you does anything bad then we’re not going to your Uncle Jason and Aunt Haley’s today," she said, knowing how much the kids adored Jason and Haley and refused to see the less than their aunt and uncle It was the same way for Jason and Haley’s kids with them, but Jason and Haley’s kids didn’t scare the holy hell out of them with their innocent little sood," Jessica said, trying to give her the pouty innocent look that usually worked on her father

"Really good," Mathew added with a hurt srin The boy really needed to work on his innocent act and judging by the scowl Johnnie was sending hireed and would probably look into the matter later

Zoe closed her eyes for a moment "Please don’t let us end up on the ten o’clock news again," she e spa-like bathrooift Over the years it had becoe, the one place she went to relax and recuperate after dealing with the twins, both sets She’d lost count of how many times she’d handed the children over to Trevor as soon as he stepped foot into the house and escaped to her bathrooood three to four hours until Trevor caet her after he’d put the kids to bed to help her relax in other ways

"It was the eleven o’clock news," Sebastian proudly pointed out

She opened her eyes just in tiely at the reminder of their fifteenat theain beca quickly, she noted, not exactly sure how she should feel about that other than terrified that is

"We didn’t do anything, mommy I don’t knohy you don’t trust us," Johnnie said, giving her a wounded look as he gave her a little shrug "We’ve been-"

"Hey, what the hell is wrong withnext to theo de with mine, too!" the woman who’d tried to cut in front of the pretty pissed
