Johnny's POV

Tonight all the people that doesn't know yet my name is Johnny Orlando. I'm 24 and I have three kids Aria, Jackson and Lacy. Jackson is 6 and aria and Lacy are 5.  It with all the chaos lucky I have a beautiful wife who I love dearly.

Mackenzie Ziegler

"JOHNNNYYY! CAN YOU COME DOWN PLEASE!?" She yelled. Speak of the devil. I immediately jumped out of bed and into the hallway. Halfway to the stairs I was stopped by my son Jackson.

"DAD! DAD! You wanna play with me?" He asked shoving his rocket to my leg.

Rule number one: When they ask you to play don't pull it off until later. Play a game of hide and seek instead. But make sure they hide and don't forget them (but not to good)

"Let's play hide and seek I stead. You go hide I'll count to 100 then go find you ok?" He nodded his head excitedly and ran off as quick as his little legs could manage

"JOHN!?" She yelled again. I snapped out of it and ran down the stairs. Everything was fine until I felt a staying pain in my foot.

"SHI- GOD UUGGGHH" I slowly lifted my foot of the ground examining the barbie doll arm lodged into my foot. I took it out before limping down the stairs and put it into the drawer.

Rule number two: In this house nothing goes missing for long. If I'm correct Lacy is gonna be asking for that arm back tomorrow. Never throw anything away you know they might  want tomorrow

"Hey. What did you step on this time?" Mackenzie asked helping me to a chair. I chuckled at what she said. Knowing she was right. I'm the one always stepping on stuff

"Barbie arm. I put it in the junk drawer so don't worry. What did you need me for?" I said rubbing my sore foot. She smacked my hand away from the table and walked into the kitchen

"Taste the spaghetti. I addeda little kink to it" She slowly made her way to me spoon hovering over her hand. I began to feel uneven. Let's just say Mackenzie's cooking isn't the best in the world

Or ever

But don't tell her that

"Uh I don't know Kenz I'm not really feeling that good. Maybe I'll eat the left overs." I insisted

"Oh come on. You weren't saying that when I suggested we order pizza earlier were you?" She argued

"Pizza is good an-"

"AND MY COOKING ISN'T!" She yelled cutting me off. I was about to speak but whispering cuting me off

"Shhhh I'm trying to listen"

"Are they arguing?"

More then likely it's my youngest children Lacy and Aria. As Mackenzie was quiet To I'm pretty sure she heard the whispering to.

"You know Kenzie I heard Lacy was gonna help me try the spaghetti tonight wasn't she? I'm pretty sure she'd like to help." Confusion filled her face before realization

"Yea she would wouldn't she? Maybe even donate her toys to littler kids who have ponies and unicorns for pets?" She edged on

"NO I DON'T! I WANNA KEEP MY BARBIES!" And there it was. The confession. Lacy popped up from there hiding spot around the corner. Soon enough Aria came and joined her

"We're you guys fighting?" Aria asked pouting her lip. Aria is especially smart for her age. Maybe even to smart.

Rule number three: You know in the movies where kids find there parents arguing and they go on some wild adventure to keep hem together if that's the case. We'll Mackenzie and I are more than sure that that's the case. And we're trying to mainly prevent that so just keep it down low

"Oh no baby. Your daddy doesn't want to try my food for me. I think he doesn't like !y cooking. You guys like it right?" I said pretending to cry right now. It was silent for a moment before Jackson foot steps descending down the stairs filled it.

"Dad you forgot about the game?" He asked stopping at me. My jaw dropped. I violated my first and most important rule of the year. Mackenzie and I make a new list every year. Everything was good. Until now

"I- uh I-I'm sorry?" I stumbled realizing it came out more of a question

"No what just forget it. Your to busy with Lacy and Aria to be playing with me. And to make it better you don't even have to bother with me." He yelled before storming off upstairs.

"You said lying wasn't allowed in the house. So are you lying now?" Aria asked pointing a finger at me

"DON'T GET BESIDE YOURSELF YOUNG LADY. GO TO YOUR ROOM AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE DONE!" Mackenzie said backing me up.

"Daddy started it shouldn't he be going to?" She continued. She shook her head before screaming and running up to her room. Looking down there's one more left to go

"Are you gonna throw me away now?" She asked making me choke on air. Is that what they feel were doing?

"WHAT!??! Who said that?" I said realizing I yelled at her out of anger. Soft whimpers heard below me I knew I instantly fu*ked up. She ran  away with her siblings to her room crying her little eyes out more than likely

"John?" Mackenzie asked next to me

"Yea" I said blandly

"We are terrible parents"
