~the next morning~

Sid and Kelsi:(eating breakfast)

Beau:(walks downstairs)

Sid:"Morning Sunshine."

Beau:(yawns)"Morning."

Kelsi:"Sleep well?"

Beau:(shrugs)

Kelsi:"Babies keep you up?"

Beau:(yawns)"Little bit, yeah"

Kelsi:"I'm sorry Beau Bear"

Beau:"It's fine."

Kelsi:"Alright...."

Sid:(looks at watch)"Time for me to go to practice (kisses Kelsi) I'll be back in a couple hours."

Kelsi:"(kisses Sid) Alright."

Sid:(walks out the door and goes to practice)

Kelsi:(to Beau)"What do you want for breakfast?"

Beau:"Not hungry."

Kelsi:"Alright. Can you help me put the boys down for a nap?"

Beau:(yawns)"Sure. (Picks up Breckin and Beau)"

Kelsi:"Thanks (picks up Easton and Hunter, walks upstairs to nursery)"

Beau:(follows Kelsi to the nursery)

Kelsi:"They just ate and Sid helped me change them before you got up, so we can just put them in their cribs. (Lays Easton in his crib)"

Beau:(lays Baby Beau in his crib)

Kelsi:(lays Hunter in his crib. Turns on their lullabies)

Beau:(lays Breckin in his crib. Walks out of the room)

Kelsi:(walks out of room and quietly closes door)"You look exhausted, why don't you go back to bed for a little while?"

Beau:(yawns)"I'm fine."

Kelsi:"No, you're not. You honestly look like you're gonna fall asleep on your feet. Please go to sleep."

Beau:(sighs)"Alright (walks into his room)"

Kelsi:(walks downstairs and puts on "Neighbors")

~ 2 hours later~

Sid:(walks into the house)

Kelsi:(sees Sid)"Hi baby, how was practice."

Sid:"Same as always. (Kisses her) where's Sunshine?"

Kelsi:"Sleeping. Sid, he's exhausted. "

Sid:"He's not used to crying children. We've had a couple of weeks to adjust, he's had a day. "

Kelsi:"I know. He'll get used to it eventually, but I feel so bad. "

Sid:"I do too. But there isn't anything we can do about it."

Kelsi:"I know. I'm thinking about going somewhere with the babies, just so he gets some sleep."

Sid:"Alright. Let's go then."

Kelsi:"the babies are still... (Hears Easton cry) Nevermind. (Goes upstairs with Sid behind her)

~3 hours later~

Sid/Kelsi:(walk in carrying the babies)

Beau:(watching a movie)"Where'd you guys go?"

Kelsi:"Grocery shopping."

Sid:"We figured we'd get the kids out of the house, you needed sleep Sunshine."

Beau:(guilty)"It's your house. You shouldn't have had to leave."

Sid:"Sunshine, it's okay. We needed food anyway. Plus, we've told you a hundred times that it's your house too"

Beau:(sighs)"Well thanks I guess."

Kelsi:"You're welcome."
