"already? they must've been hungry." i say

"i'll take them into the living room." phil says

"okay i'll bring yours in." i say

i walk into the living room with two bowls of cereal in my hands, i see phil sat on the floor leaning against the sofa. cali was trying to take his sock off, bentley was playing with his ear and addi was sat in the corner alone.

"what's up with her?" i ask

"time out, she slapped bentley's head." phil says

"she's not in the best mood today." i say

"i've got training in two hours, but why not you guys just come? the lads would love it." he says

"you sure?" i ask, "three toddlers screaming?"

"they'll be alright." phil says chuckling, "you could go dress shopping on the way back, i could drop you off in town with one of them and then i'll take the other two somewhere."

"good idea." i say

phil gets up and sits on the sofa beside me, we eat our breakfast whilst watching cali and bentley play and addi stay sat in the corner. she was making eye contact with us both and doing puppy eyes.

"i'll do it." i say getting up and walking over to her

i get on my knees infront of her and hold one of her hands.

"it's not nice to hurt people is it." i say, "never do it again okay?" i ask as she throws her arms up into the air

i pick her up and put her on my hip, i sit back down on the sofa and sit her on my lap. phil tickles her neck and she giggles.

"right lets go get those city kits on them." phil says standing up and taking both our empty bowls into the kitchen to wash up later

"you don't want to wear that do you." i say to addi

"heard that." phil shouts

"get the other two." i say walking out the living room and carrying addi up to her room

the babies all had their own kits, i get addi's out from the bottom draw.

*her kit*

soon enough phil and the other two babies walk in, i help get cali dressed

"happy now?" i ask walking back into the babies room

"very nice darlin." phil says

"right lets go if you don't want to be late." i say picking cali up

i go downstairs and lock the back door, i sit cali down on the steps and put her shoes on. i grab my handbag and go out into the drive and put her in the car.

i hear screaming coming from the house so i leave her in there and quickly run in. i see phil trying to put addi's shoes on which is making bentley upset which is making addi upset.

i pcik up bentley and his shoes in my other hand and take him out to the car. i put him in his car seat and put his trainers on once hes strapped in.

i see phil lock the front door before walking out with a screaming child.

"addi you have got to stop crying." i say walking over to them, "let me take her."

i put her in her car seat in the middle of the other two as phil gets in the drivers seat.

"that was one of the most hectic mornings we've had in a while." phil says as i sit down in the front

"god they wear me out." i say putting my seat belt

"i'll get someone to help you at the grounds when i'm training." he says

"i think i'll need the help." i say

addi was now screaming, i cover my ears and turn back to look. her and bentley were fighting over a toy one of them must of brought from the house.

"no, give it to me." i say trying to reach

"give it to mummy." phil shouts

bentley hands it to me, i sit back down with the toy in my hand.

"seriously, how do you do that?" i ask

"do what?" phil asks

"they listen to you straight away." i say

"it's because they're used to you telling them off, so they think they can get away with it." he says

"are you saying i'm the bad cop?" i ask

"no, but cause i'm away sometimes. i don't tell them off as much." he says

"i guess." i say

*twenty minutes later*

"right kids, we're here." phil says

"i'll get the girls." i say getting  out the car
