You and Benito have been married about five years now. And somehow there’s three kids already. Your first pregnancy was twins girls. Then your son came along a year later. The girls are four now and your son just turned three. Someone is always fighting about something.

Benito got off a long tour a week ago and he’s spent the whole time being with you and the children. He insists on your sleeping in every morning because he could see the exhaustion when he got back.

you wake up around 9:30 hearing the kids yelling and Benito scolding them all in Spanish. You groan and walk downstairs. Every kid is standing in a different corner whining. Benito is washing dishes while his eyes scan the rooms making sure everyone is where they’re supposed to be

“Somos amables con la familia. No quiero volver a oíros hablar así nunca más.”
