“Cer! Can I get some help in here, please?” Abel called, struggling with the twins as they tormented him.

Shrieks of laughter filled the air. Abel was trying to get them ready for bed…but they insisted on more playtime…and play they did. While Abel tried to get Evan’s pajama shirt on, Cat started to toss stuffed animals and blankets around the room – stopping just long enough to beat her dad with pillows in between throwing things at him and around the room.

Meanwhile, Evan stifled giggles and as soon as Abel stopped to go take care of Cat, he tore his shirt off and started jumping on his bed and throwing stuffed animals at daddy too. They both screamed with laughter as poor Abel scrambled back and forth to try and take control of the situation.

“If you two don’t calm down and get ready for bed right now, there will be no story tonight.” He warned.

They immediately stopped and plopped down on their beds quietly. “No! Story daddy! Story!” Cat chimed and Evan nodded in agreement.

“Only if you promise to be good and get ready for bed.”

“We promise, dad!” Cat assured him with one of her cute, devious smiles.

Abel narrowed his expression and looked in his daughter’s direction suspiciously then softened up and smiled. “Alright, well help me clean up the mess you’ve made and finish getting ready and we’ll have story time.”

“Yay! Okay dad!” Cat squealed excitedly and bounced up off of her bed, gesturing for Evan to follow her lead and help clean up.

Evan went and pulled his shirt back on over his head and then proceeded to gather up his toys and put them in their rightful places. When he was done, he sat back upon his bed, eagerly awaiting the story.

Cat tidied up the pillows and blankets with her dad, occasionally hitting him with a pillow and giggling, to which he gave her a playful look of warning. She just grinned.

“All done dad! Now tell us a story!” Cat demanded as she climbed into her brothers’ bed and sat beside him.

“Ooh, I would…but-”

“Daaaad, you promised!”

Before either of the twins could protest further, Abel dashed across the room, arms extended and hands opened, as if he were going to attack…and attack he did. “I’m gonna get you two little munchkins!” He roared and stomped toward them.

The twins looked at each other and gasped before scattering to run away from their dad, screaming. “Mom! Help us! Daddy’s trying to get us!” Cat shouted.

Abel got a hold of Evan and started tickling him and laughter erupted from the usually silent little boy. “Aaahhh! I got you!” Abel laughed wickedly.

Cat, being the protective sister she was, jumped onto her dad’s back in an attempt to rescue her twin from the tickling. “I got you daddy!” She wrapped her arms around his neck and legs around his sides and held tight.

“Oh no, I’m being attacked!” Abel joked with a laugh and eased himself forward to the floor beside Evan. “Uuuggh, I’ve been defeated…”

Both twins squealed and giggled and Evan tackled his father along with his sister and they both started to tickle him.

“No! Help me mommy! Help me!” Abel cried out.

“What in the world is going on in here?” Cer stood in the doorway, hands upon her hips and a smile plastered on her face at the sight of all the children playing at bedtime, shaking her head some. “I thought you were putting the children to bed and telling them a story, Daddy. Not trying to slay them and getting conquered.” She folded her arms across her chest and raised a brow at him, huffing slightly so he’d know she was playfully exasperated.

“I was. There’s just too many of them and, and they overpowered me…and I can’t get up...” He rasped his voice and pretended to be wounded on the floor, closing his eyes, and the twins giggled some more and pushed on him a little.

“Oh, I see. Come on you two – I think Daddy needs to re-charge his batteries.” Cer joked, picking Evan up off of Abel and he wrapped his arms around her neck, clinging to her before she put him in his bed and pulled the covers up onto him. “Night sweetie.” She kissed him on his forehead and he threw his arms around her neck again and squeezed her tightly.

Cat helped her dad, pulling him up by his arm. “Daddy doesn’t have batteries!”

“Yeah mommy, I don’t have batteries.” He smirked as he got up and scooped Cat up into his arms. She planted a big kiss on his cheek to which he also returned before putting her down in her bed and tucking her in.

Cer shot him a look and pursed her lips, shaking her head at him before grinning back and laughing a little. “You’re right, Cat – you’re so smart. Daddy’s just not strong enough to beat you two. He needs to train more.” She winked.

“What? No way! I’m plenty strong.” He protested, flexing his muscles and giving her a pouty face. “See?”

She laughed and approached him, pinching his side playfully which elicited a small yelp from him. “I think Daddy is in denial.” She whispered loudly to Cat, giving her a goodnight kiss as well. Cat giggled.

“Uh huh, sure...” He replied sarcastically. “I think Mommy is crazy.” He whispered loudly to combat her playful joke.

The twins giggled in unison. “Story now!” Cat demanded with a pout.”

“Story now, what?” Cer replied.

“Story now…please?”

“That’s more like it. Alright, I’ll leave you to your story. You think you can handle it by yourself now daddy?” She teased.

“Yeah, we’re fine mommy.” He shot back with a smile and she gave him a quick and loving kiss.

“Eww!” Cat pulled the covers over her head and Evan threw his hands over his eyes and they giggled again.

“Yeah, eww mommy, they don’t want to see that.” He grinned and kissed her back quickly and she laughed again.

“Goodnight you two, I love you.”

“Night mommy!” Cat said and Evan waved goodnight and blew her a kiss before she turned and left the room.

“Alright, what story do you want to hear tonight?” Abel pulled up a chair between their beds.

Cat thought carefully about what she wanted to hear. Evan ended up getting out of bed and running out of the room.

“Hey! Where are you going? Where’s he going?” Abel asked. Cat shrugged.

Evan went and grabbed his dad’s acoustic guitar off its stand in the living room and returned with it, placing it in his lap.  “Oh, I see. You want me to play a song then?” Evan nodded and climbed back into bed. Cat smiled wide and shook her head yes a bunch of times, bouncing under her covers excitedly.

“Alright. Lets see…” He trailed off for a few moments then began strumming a soft melody – deciding to do an acoustic version of ‘Open Arms’ by Journey. “Lying beside you, here in the dark. Feeling your heart beat with mine. Softly you whisper, you’re so sincere. How could our love be so blind? We sailed on together… We drifted apart… And here you are by my side…”

The twins listened quietly as he played and sang to them, drifting off to slumber-land midway through the song, though Abel continued on until the end to ensure they were sleeping soundly.

So now I come to you, with open arms. Nothing to hide, believe what I say. So here I am with open arms. Hoping you’ll see what your love means to me. Open arms…

He set his guitar down on the floor beside him and stood once he finished, leaning it against the chair for support. “Sweet dreams my little munchkins.” He whispered to them and gave them each a kiss on the forehead. “I love you both.” He then went to the door and flipped the light switch off and pulled the door mostly closed, leaving it open just enough for him to listen for them or for Cer to peak her head in and check up on them if need be and then left them to dream peacefully.

After he’d gone, Cat opened an eye and then the other and silently slipped out of her bed and crawled into bed with Evan, curling up beside him under the covers. She often snuck into his bed at night, feeling more secure right by her twin. She then drifted off to sleep for the night.

Just some cuteness of Abel and Cer raising the twins. They're around four or five here. Evan doesn't talk to anyone but his twin growing up. Very shy and quiet.

And yes this series contains mature language, violence, ideology that may bother you, and some sexual content here and there.
