Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Andre said, "...It's pronounced 'bed,' not 'bump.""

Still not getting an answer about where his wife had gone, he tried again, "So, where did Grandpa head off to?"

Henry, proud of his new vocabulary, piped up, "He went off to karaoke!"

Mia came out of the bathroom with a face mask on, catching sight of her two favorite guys looking all chummy again. Henry was perched on his dad's lap, fishing around in a snack bag, popping treats into his mouth one by one.

Spotting his mom's masked face, Henry yelled, "Mommy, your face looks broken!" Before he could finish his snack, Mia swooped in and hauled her little troublemaker away to tidy him up.

Andre let both kids get away with their mischief for now-after all, they still had guests around.

That evening, Molly kept venting to Chad about their son's antics. "Chad, seriously, if you don't believe me, just ask Sweetie-didn't he pick on me all day?"

Officer Chad glanced at their son, who just sat quietly on the edge of the bed, not saying a word.

Molly pointed at him dramatically. "See? He's not denying it!"

When it was time for bed, Jade wouldn't stop chattering in Chad's ear.

Eventually, with his eyes closed, Officer Chad muttered, "Molly, I barely slept at all last night. Please, let me rest a bit."

Molly noticed the exhaustion on his face. "Okay~"

She knew Chad hadn't slept because he'd been worried about her, his little handful.

She crawled over, pressed a soft kiss to his dry lips, and didn't say another word.
