"Watch the babies. I'm taking a quick shower" I say to Tobias as I walk into the bathroom.

I turn the shower on and as soon as the water hits me, it's the best thing ever. I close my eyes and just relax.

I'm exhausted, sleep deprived. Two newborns are a lot more then just one newborn.

I grab the bar of soap and lay my head against the wall as the water runs on my body. I don't even remember falling asleep in the water.

"Hon, you okay? You've been in here for quite a while" Tobias says walking into the bathroom. He opens the shower curtain and wakes me up.

"Tris" he says laughing

"I'm sorry. It just happened. I don't remember falling asleep" I say

"Let me just finish washing up. I will be right out" I say

"I'll continue to watch the twins if you give Elena a bubble bath. She's been whining about it for hours" he says

"Sure, what not. Bubble baths are always fun- when she spills half of the tub on the floor" I say

"Love you" He says kissing my head then walking out.

I finish my shower and quickly change. When I walk back to reality I'm surrounded by crying babies and a cranky toddler.

"The babies won't stop crying" Elena says throwing a toy across the room

"That's it. I've had enough of your attitude. Time out now" I say picking Elena up and putting her in her time out chair.

"Daddy" she cries and I sigh walking to Tobias with the crying babies

"I tried feeding them, changing them, holding them but nothing. Nothing is making them stop crying" Tobias says

I take both the babies from his hands and hold them close to my chest.

"Shhh babies. Mommy's here. Mommy's here. Shhhh" I say gently to them and they start to calm down

"Wow mommy to the rescue" Tobias says and I laugh

"I just have the special touch." I say

"Daddy" Elena cries

"Can you please deal with her. She's had an attitude all day" I say

"She just wants a bubble bath" Tobias says

"I will get to that when the twins are put to sleep. She has to understand she's a big sister now" I say

"Hon, don't you think you're being a little hard on her" he says

"Please don't question my parenting skills. I'm not in the mood. If she wants a bubble bath so much why don't you just go set it up for her" I say annoyed

I pat the twin's backs and gently bounce them up and down in my arms.

"She's only a toddler. Remember that, it's not like she's some teenager ready for the role as a big sister" Tobias says

"Can we just talk about this later" I say

"Daddy" Elena continues to cry and I tap my foot on the ground and sigh.

"So much crying for one day." I say

"Coming bug" Tobias says

"Don't baby her or she will never learn" I say to him

"Please don't question my parenting skills. I'm not in the mood" he says repeating my earlier phrase

I let out an angry breath and roll my eyes.

Tobias pov

"Why does mommy hate me" Elena ask as she sits in the tub and sadly plays with her toys.

"Mommy doesn't hate you. She's just under a lot of stress and she's not getting a lot of sleep because of your brother and sister so it's just making her a little crazy" I say and we laugh

"Mommy will never stop loving you. You will always have a special place in her heart" I tell her and she smiles.

"I love you daddy" she says

"I love you more bug" I say kissing her head

"So are we about done in this bath. It's time for bed anyway." I say

"No a few more minutes" she whines

"I vote no. Come on bug, it's time for bed" I say and she sighs

"Alright" She says

I wrap her in her towel and walk her to her room to put her PJ's on.

I tuck her in bed and kiss her head.

"Sleep tight bug. Mommy will be in here later to say goodnight but just get some rest." I tell her and she nods.

I turn her night light on and walk out to tris and I's room.

Tris is laying on our bed with a pillow covering her face.

"Elena thinks you hate her" I tell Tris

"I don't hate her. How could I hate my own daughter" She says pulling the pillow from her face.

"Well maybe it's because you can make it seem like that" I say

"I love Elena. I just don't have time for bubble baths right now. I'm doing a million and one things for the twins at once. I'm just so stressed and tired" She says

She puts her hands on her face and lets out a deep breath. I knew this was going to happen.

"I knew this was going to happen. I knew she was going to feel left out and I knew I was going to be the cause. Like who do I think I am? I'm no mom." Tris says shaking her head

"You are a mom. An amazing one" I say to her

"Then why do I feel so terrible like I'm doing everything wrong" she says

"You're not" I say

"We just need to learn how to adjust to our kids and treating the equally" I say

She lays her head on my shoulder and I grab her hand.

"Sorry for getting upset with you earlier. I just really need sleep" she says

"It's okay. I do too" I say

"I'm going to go talk to Elena" she says

She stands up and walks out the room to Elena's. I don't know what they talked about that day but it made their relationship stronger than ever.
