Listen to: "Bad" by Lennon Stella

Percy walked up to the stairs to the nursery holding both the girls, I went in first to turn the light on and hid the picture of me pregnant, he noticed I flipped a frame over, he gave me a curious look, which I ignored.

"Which bed does she go in?" he asked looking at Aria.

"Actually, I need them both over here, I need to change them,"

"Ok," he placed Aria down first and held Amberly while I changed Aria.

"For being just a babysitter, you are pretty good with babies," he interrupted.

"Lots of practice while my parents are at work, they are closer to me than their actual parents," I didn't completely lie.

"What do your parents do?"

"My dad is a construction worker, he is rarely home, and my mom is a psw, she doesn't work as much as my dad but is still not here enough for the twins," I lied, my mom was a psw, she quit to help me with the girls while I'm at school.

"That's cool,"

"Ya, switch,"

"What?" he asked

"Take Aria and put Amberly down,"

"Oh, ya," he switched the babies, "do you want me to put her into her bed?"

"Yes please, the one with the elephant is hers,"

"Ok,"

After I put Amberly to bed and shut the lights off, we walked downstairs to see Marianna sitting at the kitchen bar drinking a bottle of water,

"Took you long enough," she announced

"Babies are not the easiest things in the world," Percy joked as I went to the fridge to get him and I a drink,

"Here," I handed him water,

"Thanks," he grabbed the water leaving his hand on mine a little too long

"I am going to go," Marinna interrupted

"Let me drive you," Percy offered

"No, it's fine, I feel like walking, it's nice out and I only live like a block away," she protested

"Are you sure, I have to go that way,"

"Yes, I'm sure," she confirmed, "I do need to talk to you for a second before I leave, privately,"

"Ok," Percy agreed

They both walked to the front door and I heard whispering, but I didn't want to eavesdrop, I turned the sink on and washed my hands, a few minutes later Percy came back into the room,
