"i need dylan on set" i announce. the lead, dylan o'brien, walks over from make up and i show him exactly where i want him to stand. "okay so what i need you to do is-" i start but hear my phone ding. i rush out everything as i assume it's billie and jog over to my phone. "give me just one second" i hold up one finger and grab my phone.

"my wife is having trouble with the kids i gotta go" i lie as i pack up my stuff. "will you be back?" my assistant, marco, asks. "possibly, i'm not sure." i answer. "okay. i guess i'll see you when i see you" marco shrugs. i wave to everyone and i rush out to the car.

once i get home, billie runs to me from downstairs. she pushes me against the door to the garage and smashes her lips to mine. "where are the kids?" i ask in the breathy tone that i know she loves. "upstairs with skylar." she answers. "i thought we'd go downstairs" she suggests. "in the studio? really?" i laugh a little, pretty shocked that she suggested it because we've never done it down there due to being scared we might accidentally record it or something. "yeah" she nods, picking me up and starting to carry me downstairs.

"mommy!" i hear finn exclaim. billie groans subtly and places me down as finn runs to me. "hey little man" i smile even though he just pussy paused me when i was finally going to get some for the first tine this week. i swear to god he's just like his namesake. "what're you guys doing? are you playing rocket ship without me?!" he asks with a look of pure shock. "i asked mommy to come home early so we could have our alone time. i missed her today" billie explains to him, hugging me from behind and resting her chin on my shoulder. "i missed mommy today too. can we have alone time too mommy?" he asks, making billie snort from behind me as she tries to stifle a laugh. "i'll play with you in a little bit okay? right now i need you to go on a little mission for me" i tell him, making himself smile because he loves acting like a spy or a ninja. i honestly don't know what he thinks he is when i send him on "missions" anymore. "i need you to go upstairs and keep an eye on skylar. she might be an enemy agent, i'm not sure yet. get as much information as you can" i whisper to him, knowing that makes him feel even more spy-like. "you got it sarge" he nods and salutes me just like will does. "and make sure you all stay upstairs okay? don't let your siblings know i'm h-" i start but i'm cut off by the sound of children happily screaming as they run down the stairs.

"mommy! mommy! mommy!" gray and em yell in unison. skylar is walking down the stairs behind them and shoots me a look as a way of apologizing. she knows i was supposed to come back later so i assume she knows what was going on. "hey guys" i smile and kneel down so they can hug me. they run into my arms and i hug them. "how've you guys been?" i ask, now just sitting on the floor so i don't have to squat down. they explain their day and i look up to see billie trying to look as interested as she can while obviously frustrated. i reach my hand up and hold hers, bringing it to my lips and kissing it which makes her smile become genuine. she kneels down behind me and hugs me once again, though one of her hands is on my lower hip, slowly sliding lower and lower. "skylar, can i talk to you alone for just a moment?" i ask, standing up so can go into the other room. "of course mrs o'connell" she nods. "you know you can call me elle right? mrs o'connell makes me feel old or something. plus i would rather my last name be eilish. that's so much cooler" i explain to her as we walk to the other room. "we can change our names you know" billie tells me from the other room. i laugh it off and bring skylar into the den.

"listen, i know we haven't had you watch the kids over night before but billie and i haven't had a date in i don't know how long. we really need to get out of the house. i love the kids with all my heart but you get why we want a night off" i say, trying to keep my voice down. "so are you asking me to watch the kids while you go on a date?" she asks. "i mean if you feel like you can and if you're available." i nod. "of course i can. i'd love to hang out with them for the night. are you saying tonight or when?" she questions. "does tomorrow night work for you?" i suggest. "tomorrow night is perfect" she answers. "okay, thank you so much. and if i wasn't clear it will be overnight. i'm thinking billie and i will go to a hotel. does that still work?" i ask, really hoping she'll say yes. "oooo, mrs and mrs o'connell. getting it on in a hotel. you excited?" skylar wiggles her shoulders with that weird smile she knows makes me laugh. i giggle and roll my eyes. "yeah i am excited. so can you do it?" i ask once again. "yeah, i got you" she assures me. "great. i'll leave a list of the nightly routine. i'm not sure when we'll be back so i'll write out the morning routine as well. i'll also leave some money for food" i take out my phone and write myself a reminder to do that later on when i have the time. "perfect. thank you" she smiles. "is there anything else i need to know that i don't know?" she questions. "okay yes. as you know the boys share a room and em has her own. sometimes em has night terrors so she may want to sleep with you. you can sleep in any of the guest bedrooms by the way. i trust you to sleep with her because i feel like i know you pretty well so far. and if the boys find out she's sleeping with you, they may want to as well. gray has had a past of sleep walking, but it's not usually a problem. finn sleeps like a baby, there shouldn't be any complications there but if there are let me know. if anything bad happens you have mine and billie's number. if you can't reach us i'll give you their god parents' numbers as well. if i think of anything else i'll write it down for you." i explain to her. "sounds good" she smiles.

thank god

i don't remember the last time i had a night off
