Alex's POV

Since everyone was upstairs me and Jack made the most of having downstairs to ourselves and we was sat on the sofa watching a film in peace which was a first since having Rowan.
"Nice to have some quiet." Jack said and got comfy and I cuddled into his side.
"Tell me about it. Almost miss it but I like having a loud house." I said quietly.
We heard someone coming downstairs.
"There goes the peace." I muttered and sat up to see who it was and it was Tyler.

"What's up Tyler?" I asked.
"Can I speak to you please?" He asked and looked down.
"Sure, go to the kitchen and I'll be there in a sec." I said.
He went to the kitchen.
"I'll be back." I said and kissed Jack.
"You better be." Jack said against my lips.
I giggled.
"Am I going to be lucky tonight?" I asked quietly.
"Might be, depends." He said and kissed me again and I got up and he slapped my arse hard.
"Ow!" I said and kicked him.
"Ow." He muttered and rubbed his leg.
"Aw, I'll kiss it better later." I said and went to the kitchen and Tyler was sat on the table.

"What do you want to talk about?" I asked and sat on the side.
"Your arms? What happened?" He asked.
I looked at my arms and pulled the sleeves of my jumper down.
"Rather not say." I said quietly.
"They look rather new, your scars." He said.
I glared at him.
"If you don't like them then I suggest you fuck off out this house." I growled.
He looked at me shocked.
"I just wondered." He said quietly.
"Well don't." I snapped.
"Seth's a lot like you." He said and looked at me.
"Would be worried if he wasn't." I said and went to the fridge.
"I know you have problems." He said.
"You don't want to know what is wrong with me." I said quietly.
"It's yours and Jacks business." He said.
"What do you want?" I asked and looked at him.
"Is there something wrong with Seth? Like he loses his shit quickly. Like one minute he's fine the next he's ready to punch the shit out of someone." He said.
"Let him tell you. It's his business not mine." I said.
"Surely it is your business." He said.
"It is my business, I know what is wrong with him but I'm not saying. You have to wait and let him tell you." I said.
"Then what can I do then?" He asked.
I walked over to him.
"You be there for him, like you have been. Give him time okay. He'll open up to you soon." I said quietly and walked over to Jack and jumped on him.
"Fucking hell Lex you made me jump!" He said.
I laughed and kissed him hard.

Riley's POV

I heard dad and pa go to their room and they slammed their bedroom door shut.
"Well at least we know what their doing." I said quietly and made a fuss of Sammy since she was in my room.

I had my door open and I could pretty much see everything which happens on the landing.
Rowan was in bed but like normal something woke him up.
"Seth?" He said and walked towards Tyler.
"He's asleep right now, go and see Aidan." He said quietly and Rowan went over to Aidan room.
"Aid?" He said quietly.
"No Rowan go to Ri." She said and he walked over to my room.
"Ri?" He said quietly and looked round the room looking for me.
"Does no one want you?" I asked.
"No." He sniffed .
"Come up here." I said and patted my bed and he came over and climbed onto the bed and cuddled into my side.

"What you watching?" He asked and cuddled his teddy.
"Something which isn't for you. How about we put Cars on." I said.
"Yeah." He said quietly.
"Mind out then while I go an put it on ." I said and Rowan moved and watched me put the DVD on.
I put the DVD on and went back over to the bed and got into bed.
"You spending the night with me or not." I said.
He nodded and crawled over and climbed under the covers and cuddled into my chest and cuddled his toy.
"You really warm." He said quietly and cuddled more into my chest.
"Am I now." I chuckled.
He nodded and yawned.
"Go too sleep, I'll see you in the morning." I said quietly and kissed the top of his head.
"Night night." He said quietly.
"Night trouble." I said and watched cars until I fell asleep.

Jacks POV

"Are you going to get up and help with the kids?" I asked as i cuddled into Alex's back and kissed his shoulder.
"Not moving from this bed." He muttered.
"So im dealing with 5 kids by myself then?" I asked.
"Yeah, too tired to get out of bed." He mumbled slowly falling asleep again.
"Fine I'll get them all up and fed for you." I said and kissed his cheek.
"Seth might not go." He muttered.
"Why?" I asked as i climbed over him and put a pair of pajama bottoms on.
"He's not doing good right now." He said.
"You didn't give him one of your strong sleeping pills did you?" I asked.
"Might of done, now fuck off before everyone is late." He said and rolled over so his back was to me and put the pillow over his head.
"Charming like always." I chuckled and walked to where the kids rooms were.

I found one of Seth's basketballs and threw it against Seth's door and did that until Tyler walked out.
I moved onto Aidan's door and did the same until she opened her door and told me to fuck off and leave her alone and slammed the door shut.
"Someone is grumpy this morning." I muttered.
"Riley get up!" I said and threw the ball and the door opened and Riley ducked and something went crash in his room.
He looked behind him a nd shrugged his shoulders.
"Cheers, you have literally just gotten me out of the homework I didn't want to do." He said.
"Are you being sarcastic because I'm confused." I said.
"I'm not being sarcastic." He chuckled.
"Thank fuck for that." I said.
"Da!" Rowan said and ran over to me and I picked him up.
"Hello you." I said and kissed the top of his head.

By the time Alex came down Tyler was aruging with Seth about him going to school.
"Damn them two are like a married couple." Alex said and hugged me from behind.
"They're worse than us." I chuckled.
"But unlike them we have the joys of having make up sex." He said quietly in my ear and bit it.
"What makes you think that?" I asked.
Alex looked at me.
"Christ can tell you never noticed the nuns did you." He chuckled.
"Nope, only was focused on your arse." I said.
"Were you now?" He asked and slapped my arse and walked off to see Rowan and sort Tyler and Seth out.

I decided to stay home and help Alex out round the house.
Rowan seemed really happy about it and would'nt leave me alone.
"I think he has missed you." Alex said as he picked the toys up.
"What's not to miss about me?" I asked.
"I dunno, I certainly don't miss you hogging the bloody bed covers." Alex said.
"Have to stay warm some how." I chuckled.
"While I freeze my balls off and use the dog to keep me warm." He said.
"Maybe you shouldn't give the fight for the covers up so soon as you do." I said.
"Well I thought you would give them back to me because you love me and all that." He said and wrapped his arms round my neck since I was sat on the sofa with Rowan on my lap.
"Maybe I like seeing you suffer." I smirked.
"Isn't 4 pregnancys enough suffering for you?" He asked.
"Na, because we have 4 bundles of joy." I said.
Alex laughed.
"Rowan is the only bundle of joy as the others are not little anymore." He said quietly.
"Don't grow up bud, its not fun." I said and tickled his sides which made him squeal loudly.
"Make the most of little things." Alex said quietly and kissed my cheek and went off towards the kitchen.m
"Want to help Jack?" He asked.
"Might as well." I said and put Rowan on the floor and went to the kitchen.
