I was cutting some fruit when I heard a loud thud. I looked around the corner and my twelve-year-old daughter, Emma, laid at the bottom of the stairs.

E: "Ouch. Dad you could've caught me!"
The brown haired girl said to her dad, who stood right in front of her.

He laughed and mumbled a 'sorry'.
Emma rolled her eyes and looked up at him.

E: "I have to say your double chin looks really good from down here. Especially with your curly hair all over the place"

He acted like he was offended.
Ja: "Oh no you didn't"
Jack, my husband, said. In one movement, he bent down, picked Emma up and threw her over his shoulder. He started running around the house.

E: "AHHHH DAD!"
Y/N: "Jack! Be careful! She's going to fall again! Bring her here so I can check if she's okay"
Ja: "Fineee"

He brought her to the kitchen and set her on the counter.
Ja: "You're no fun"
He said to me.

Y/N: "I just want a whole kid instead of one with six broken bones"
I said smiling and kissed him.

I was about to ask Emma if she was okay when her identical twin sister Luna, stormed downstairs towards the kitchen.

Lu: "Are you okay Em?! What happened?"
She said out of breath.

E: "I'm fine, I fell downstairs and dad over here was too lame to catch me"
She said as she turned towards Jack.

I cleaned the scratch on her knee and put a bandaid on it.
E: "Mom, I'm fine, I don't need a bandaid"

A: "Did Em fell down the stairs?"
Our eight year old son, Alex, said as he jumped in the kitchen.

Lu: "Yes and dad was too lazy to catch her"
A: "Daddy! You're supposed to be careful with your kids!"
(* Please don't think anything stupid about this, this kid is eight. Thanks)

Y/N: "See? even Alex knows"
I said laughing to my husband.

E: "Mom, I'm taking this bandaid off, I don't need it"
She said as she ripped the strip off.

Y/N: "That's okay, I'm just making sure you're okay and careful with you, instead of your dad over here"
I said grinning while I kissed her forehead.

Ja: "What?! She's fine!"
Y/N: "I'm just kidding baby. You're a good dad, right kids?"
A: "Yes!"
He said as he jumped in Jacks arms.

E: "He is, but he still could've caught me"
She said laughing.

Lu: "I bet he wouldn't catch anyone, too much work"
Ja: "You know me too well"
He said laughing.

Ja: "No, just kidding. I would catch you guys, but I was a bit too late sorry Em"
E: "It's okay, I'm fine"
She said as she kissed his cheek.

Y/N: "True, he caught me when I fell down the stairs once"
Ja: "Wow, that was a really long time ago"

Lu: "How long?"
I squeezed my eyes and thought.
Y/N: "I think...about...hmm...t-"
Ja: "That was when we met, right?"
Y/N: "Yeah!"

Lu: "How you met?!"
Y/N: "Yes! We actually met because I fell down the stairs!"
Jack nodded.
Ja: "Your mom's right"

E: "I feel a story time cominggg"
She said as she jumped off the counter. Jack and I laughed.

Ja: "We can tell the story if you want to hear it"
A: "Yes! I want to know!"
He said as he jumped up and down.

Y/N: "Okay, go to the couch and I'll be there in a minute, just finishing cutting the fruit"
I said laughing at my sons excitement.

I gave Jack a kiss and he gave Alex a piggyback ride to the living room and Emma followed.

Luna helped me cleaning and cutting the last things. We cleaned everything up and walked to the living room with the fruits.

I sat down next to Emma and Luna squeezed herself between me and her sister. Alex crawled on Jacks lap.

I love those moments, just quality time with my amazing family. The kids love to hear our storys. They can listen for hours if they're enjoying it.

But apparently we never told them how we met and how we got here.
Ja: "Everyone ready?"
A: "YES!"
He screamed. The twins nodded.
Y/N: "Okay, so here's how we met"
