"Daniel needs to be at school for 8am today love, and the twins have swimming lesson across town. Can you drive them?" Evelyn asked her husband as the family sat eating lunch. He frowned but nodded. He was reading the paper. Sighing in irritation. He'd be late, of course, not like he wasn't late every damn day now that Evelyn was nearly due to deliver their twin babies. He'd found out just yesterday that what they originally thought was just one really big baby, was actually twins. Go figure. That was just his luck. Why was he trying to populate the city on his own? Lord alone knew, because Martin sure as hell didn't. All he knew is that he better work out a way to get his employer, not the police force, but his other less then legal employer off his back before the due date came or he'd be damned worried for two new lives.<br/><br/>When the hell has his life gotten so bloody complicated. Sighing Martin rose and told the kids, "y'all better be ready in ten minutes. You're making daddy late again! So y'all better high tail it up those stairs and get ready nice and fast."<br/><br/>"Yes dad," came the chorus of replies. Followed by loud pounding feet up the stairs. He leaned back in his seat sipping his coffee.<br/><br/>"Evelyn, Heather said she'd take the girls to school and pick up Daniel for us. She'll drop the kids off here unless you call her and tell her you're not going to be home. I'll be late as usual, you know this is my long shift, you have my emergency contacts in case you need me," Matin informed his wife.<br/><br/>"Oh would you lay off Marty, I know this. Not like I haven't done this twice already. Just get the kids to school and lessons, we'll be fine," Evelyn grumbled. Getting irritated with his morning litany. That had become almost standard for him now since she was in her last month.<br/><br/>"Have a good day love," Martin said, trying for diplomatic and kissing his wife. She gave him a quick slap upside the head, not hard, just slightly, in a friendly teasing kind of way, not at all intended violently. He laughed.<br/><br/>He got the kids into the car, and set off. Getting each to their location easily and without much fuss. So finally he was headed to the station, now very late indeed. He pulled the car into it's space in the back parking lot and walked inside. Heading to his desk. "Hey Janet, you get that paperwork filled yet?" He inquired with a wry quirk of his mouth. It was a typical greeting for him. The humour in his tone was light and teasing.
