One early March afternoon, Chloe picked Trixie and Leo up from school. The children hugged their mother but were more energetic than they usually were.

Chloe was already suspicious. When the twins got like this, it usually wasn't a good sign. For her peaceful night anyways.

They were plotting.

She silently cursed herself, why had she thought it wise to reproduce with the devil?

Her kids had plotting in their DNA.

She didn't want to begin to think what they were going to get up to as teenagers.

Her suspicions were confirmed when both twins whispered and giggled in the back seat and averted their eyes when hers met theirs in the rear-view mirror. They continued like this the whole ride home until Chloe pulled into the parking garage at Lux.

"Okay monkeys, out with it. What's going on?"

Giving her puppy dog eyes Leo asked her innocently. "What do you mean mommy?"

Chloe looked him in the eye. "Leo..."

Trixie, the one most likely to give in out of the two, caved in first. "Mommy, we want to join the t-ball team at school."

Surprised, Chloe stared at them. That was the big secret?

"Why the sudden interest?"

"Our friends are doing it and the team lets boys and girls play and we really, really want to be on the same team."

"Well I don't see the harm in it. I'll have to ask your father first. Do you have practices?"

Trixie nodded happily. Leo was still suspiciously silent. "Practice is every Tuesday and Thursday and there are games every Saturday. They start in two weeks and go until school gets out."

Chloe nodded thoughtfully. Her attention turned to her son.

"You're been awfully quiet over there Leo. What's going on?"

Like his father, Leo could never lie to his mother. Misdirect and omit things, yes, but never outright lie.

"Trixie didn't tell you because you're going to say no."

"Well you won't know unless you tell me."

"A mommy or a daddy has to be at the practices."

"And...?"

Leo sighed knowing he couldn't get anything passed his mother. "The mommy or the daddy has to help coach. I know you work late a lot and me and Trixie were trying to think how to get daddy to do it cause we really, really want to play. Pleazzzze."

A wide smile developed over Chloe's face. "Don't worry kids, your father will help coach your team."

"But he's going to say no." Trixie whined.

"No whining young lady. Daddy won't say no when I ask him."

"Does daddy play t-ball?" Leo asked.

"I don't think your father has ever played any game with a ball in his life. That doesn't mean he can't learn. I also think this might be a fun job for your Uncle Dan."

Both twins cheered. Daddy and Uncle Dan? So cool!

Chloe smiled.

This was going to be so entertaining.
