Taylor pushed open the front door, sighed, and practically threw her breifcase on the staircase. She slipped off her shoes, dropped them on the floor, and walked through towards the living room. She threw off her jacket and it landed on the back of the couch. She pulled her hair down out of the bun, let it hang around her shoulders, and went towards the kitchen. She stopped, backed up, and looked around. "Hello??," She asked to the very quiet house.
Nothing, not even a pin drop. She looked around, everything was in its place, everything was perfect. Taylor walked towards the stairs and walked up, wandering where AJ and the twins were. She walked into the babies room and it was empty, so she walked towards her bedroom. She leaned against the doorframe and smiled at the sight. AJ was sprawled out in the center of the bed with a book on his chest. His eyes closed. Chris had his head on AJ's legs and was sound asleep. Nicholas laid beside AJ, also sound asleep. 'I wish I had a camera..,' She thought walking in.
AJ opened his sleepy eyes and saw Taylor. "You're home."
"Good observation..you're tired."
He yawned, "Very..they are very active children..so, I started to read and we all fell asleep.."
She smiled and kissed him, "Sounds like you had a productive day.."
"Oh you know it..how was your day?"
She rolled her eyes and moved Nicholas over and climbed on the bed. "It was okay..just hectic. I swear, my sectretary doesn't know her head from a hole in the ground.."
"Other than that it was okay?"
"Yep..Didn't you hear me banging around downstairs?"
He shook his head and moved the book from his chest, "Nope."
"Oh.."
"Come, take a nap with us.," He said smiling.
"I'm changing first..," She said crawling off the bed.
"Need help?"
She rolled her eyes and threw her shirt at him. He laughed, "I was joking!"
"No you weren't, and you know it!"
"Okay, I wasn't..just askin' a question though.."
"Whatever AJ."
After changing into jeans and a t-shirt, she climbed back onto the bed. AJ put his arm around her and she leaned closer to him. "I wish I didn't have to work.."
"You know you don't have to."
"Yes I do..I feel useless if I don't do something..and watching them is not doing something..I do that all the time.."
"I know.."
"When do you all leave again?"
He closed his eyes to think, "Umm..awhile.."
"Well that helps..when?"
"Umm..hmm..Next month, a Wednesday I do believe."
"Okay."
"Why?"
"I want to spend that Tuesday with you, not just the evening or morning part. It'll be our last day together.."
"What are we gonna do with the munchkins?"
"Day-care..Your mom referred me to a good one.."
"Ohh.."
"Is that okay?"
"Yeah.."
"Okay..now, can we take our nap?"
"You got it."
