A Different Way To Finding Each Other

"Mama where's mommy at?" Callie asked as she bit her lip. "I miss her."

"I will tell you all soon," Lena replied. The older twins figured the triplets caused their mommy to run away and they were being mean to them and Lena didn't know what was going on. And the triplets didn't say a word.

"What did you three do?" the twins asked again. 

"Nothing," they replied. "We were just drawing pictures."

"Yeah right," the older twins asked. But deep down, they knew they weren't lying. "She left because of you three."

"BRANDON MICHAEL. BRADLEY AARON!" their dad replied. "ENOUGH."

The twins eyed him in shock. "It's their fault mommy took off."

"It's not. Your mommy is not feeling okay right and she is getting help," he said.

"Is it about the undercover mission?" AJ asked. "My dad went on one and Hallie and I were with him and we made him something and he lost it and started yelling and screaming and he tried to use the belt on us and mommy came out."

"That's not true," Jack replied. "I don't remember it."

"It was before mom and dad got you," AJ replied as Lena glared at him. "It was before you were born."

"Daddy would never hurt anyone," Jack replied as he got mad.

"Jackson Bailey!" Lena replied.

"But mama he's lying," Jack replied. Lena sighed.

"Am not!" AJ said.

"Are too!" Jack retorted.

"I have proof," AJ said as he went to the computer and went to his email account. Lena eyed him with a look. "You have an email?"

"Yup," he replied as he found the one he was looking for and clicked. Lena, Mike and the kids were shocked to see what a bad undercover mission does to people. Jack was shocked as he ran to his room and shut the door.

"You ruined the image he had of your dad AJ," Lena replied.

"He started it," AJ replied. "It's not even his dad," he mouthed. "He's adopted remember."

"FAMILY MEETING!" Lena replied. All the kids came and the older twins glared at the triplets as Mike saw. "Brandon. Bradley," he warned.

"So where is mommy?" AJ asked. "At a place to get better. My daddy went to one to get better and for all of us."

"She is at a place to get better," Lena replied. "After the undercover mission she never got better."

"Why go back to work?" Callie asked.

"Mommy thought she was better," Robert replied. "But she will get better now."

"Why did mom leave?" the older twins asked. They still looked at the triplets and knew not to glare at them.

"Mommy snapped and tried to hit the triplets for no reason," Lena replied. "She was upset and took it out on them."

"I have a video," Mike replied and he turned it on as the kids all saw. Robert did too for the first time, while Lena and Mike saw it again. Mike twice on video.

"Like my dad!" AJ replied. "He was the same way with me and Hallie. We were three and a half."

"STOP IT!" Jack replied as he pushed AJ down hard as he bumped his head on the coffee table.

"OW!" AJ replied as Mike and Lena took Jack off of AJ.

"Jackson Bailey. You know better than to push," Lena replied as the family meeting was over and Jack was placed in timeout. Lena went to tend to AJ and he would have a bump on the back of his head. "How are you?"
