Emily's POV
-WHERE DO YOU GUYS WANNA GO FIRST? Alison questions the kids as we stand at the entrance of the Central Park Zoo.
Rosewood's girls swim team made it to regionals in New York and they couldn't go without their coach so I brought Ali and the kids along.
Alison and I got married a year after she proposed but after a rough couple of years we're divorced and with other people now.
Just kidding no we're not, we're still going strong.

-CAN WE SEE THE LIONS FIRST? Arin excitedly asks.
-YEAH, LETS GO I say while pushing Ariel in the rental stroller we got from the entrance.
-LOOK AT THEM Alison says. AREN'T THEY COOL?
-YEAHH! Arin who is six now shouts.
-ARIEL BABY WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE LIONS? my wife questions our four year old daughter.
-THEW SCAWY Ariel answers back.
-DO YOU GUYS WANT ICE CREAM? I ask them while they watch the Lions play.
-COULD YOU GET ME A CHERRY DIP? Alison asks me.
-SURE I quip pecking her lips and walking away.
After getting everyone a ice cream cone or popsicle I see that they're not over by the lions anymore.
Instead they're watching the monkeys.
-LOOK MOM ME AND SPONGEBOB HAVE MATCHING SMILES Arin says showing me his teeth.

-YOU'RE SO SILLY Ali says to him.
As me and Alison look down at the map to see the next parade time I hear Ariel crying.
-WHAT HAPPENED? I ask.
-ME DWOPPED ME ICE TWEAM Ariel cries. AWIN TIN I HAVE SOMMA YOUWS? she asks her big brother.
-NO ITS MINE Arin replies making her cry more.
-IF I GET YOU ANOTHER ONE CAN YOU PROMISE NOT TO DROP IT? I ask my daughter gazing into her big blue eyes.

-PWOMISE she answers back.
-OKAY PRINCESS, STOP CRYING I add wiping her face. WHICH FLAVOR DO YOU WANT? I ask.
-PONSHBOB NIKE AWIN Ariel exclaims.
-SPONGEBOB LIKE ARIN IT IS I say walking over to get her another.

Alison's POV
Lying on the sofa in the den with Emily watching Mona's new horror movie "Hell Is Where The Home Is" the front door swings open revealing Arin and Ariel fighting over something.
-GOSH YOU ARE SO EMBARRASSING our daughter cries.
-WHO IS HE?! Arin yells at her.

(Arin: Age 18 👆🏽)
-ITS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! Ariel shouts back.

(Ariel: Age 16👆🏽)
-YEAH, WELL IF I SEE ANOTHER HICKEY ON YOUR NECK IM GONNA BREAK HIS NECK our son threatens.
-NO YOU'RE NOT she hisses back at him.
-LETS SEE ABOUT THAT He says.
-THEY'RE GONNA KILL US WITH ALL OF THIS SCREAMING Emily jokes.
-MAYBE IF WE IGNORE THEM LONG ENOUGH THEY'LL KILL EACH OTHER FIRST I whisper back.
-NICE PARENTING SKILLS BABE my wife laughs.
As we lie underneath the sheets hiding from them we hear footsteps coming towards us.
-MOMS ARIEL HAS A HICKEY AND SHE WONT TELL ME WHO PUT IT THERE Arin informs us.
-WHY DOES IT MATTER? Ariel sneers at him.
-BECAUSE YOU'RE FUCKING SIXTEEN he snaps back.
-WATCH YOUR DAMN LANGUAGE I scold my son.
-AND YOU'RE EIGHTEEN AND YOU HAVE SEX our daughter says back.
-EXACTLY IM AN ADULT he responds.
-AN ADULT THAT STILL LIVES HERE AND IS STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL she quips.
-ARIEL ITS NO SECRET THAT YOU'RE OLDER NOW Emily says. AND YOU'RE GONNA LIKE BOYS OR GIRLS BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHOW THE WORLD THAT YOU HAVE SOMEONE BY SHOWING OFF HICKIES, HAVE SOME RESPECT FOR YOURSELF she adds.
-AND ARIN LEAVE HER ALONE I demand.
-BUT...
-NOW SHUT UP AND LEAVE US ALONE Emily tells them as I turn back around to press play on the movie.
-NICE PARENTING SKILLS BABE I mock Emily causing her to laugh.
-SHUT UP she chuckles before kissing me and throwing the sheets over our heads.
