"i just never wanted you to think that i thought you couldn't handle it. although being a new parent can be very nerve wracking and i might've been a little concerned at first, after the first few days of you holding her and taking care of her those worries were put to rest easily. i know that you would never let anything bad happen to her. you fell into the father role just as easily as you did being a firefighter. not that i'm at all surprised about that given how well you took to the boys." she let out a deep sigh that probably came from somewhere deep in her soul. "a break? like i can't just leave the house. and that's not about not trusting you or anything that's... they're our kids. i can't just not be here." she shook her head quickly, dismissing the idea entirely.

hearing her say that she trusts him with their children did make his heart and his mind feel at ease. before hearing her say that he was sure that he had done something with their daughter that cause her to be so clingy to her. though now he was more concerned that the thing that was wrong wasn't something that he could fix. that hurt his heart, he never wanted her to be in pain or in crisis.

feeling his lips against hers she pulled her hands from the water and — grabbing his face with both of her wet hands, placed a number of kisses all over his face. "you are the most amazing man and i can't thank you enough for bearing with me right now even while i'm being, literally the most impossible person to deal with." a few tears rounded and streamed down her cheeks.

he took a deep breath, looking at the baby monitor quickly before he striped off his shirt and pants to get in the tub with her. Oli pulled her in and gently kissed her. "you are not being impossible. you are struggling right now and that's okay, my love. it happens. and i'm sure that having this little human that has been apart of you for 9 months on the outside is not the easiest thing to handle." he kissed her gently again and held her close.

only one of them needed to have a mental breakdown at a time and, apparently, it was her time.

after a few moments of peace she noticed how destroyed the bed was then scooted herself back away from him after realizing how soaked she was. "ew, gross. don't touch me. i'm disgusting right now." she held her hands up to try and keep him from touching her then wiped her forehead clean from a sheet of sweat. "holy moly i think i might need a bath." she shook her head and sighed. Karlie did believe in this moment she was no good to anyone. which she probably wouldn't be if she had actually gotten any legitimate sleep over the last few days.

those dreams were terrible and terrifying. the last one lasting much longer than the others which were seemingly just clips of what was possible for their future. even in her sleep she began crying.

although they hadn't known each other but around a year she couldn't imagine living her life without him and didn't wish for anything to happen to their relationship. she knew that she would have to shape up and get herself under control if she wanted to stop whatever could've been in the works that would ruin their future together.

he had left her in the bed sleeping in his opinion peacefully, so for him to come back up to check on her to see her this way was a shock. seeing the bed completely destroyed and her soaked through with sweat made his heart break. he wanted to make things better for her and he wasn't sure how he could that.

she didn't know why it was bothering her so much. this was just their first big fight. well it wasn't really a fight more of an argument. it had been the first time they actually argued for really any purpose at all. so this was just something she was concerned about and it was a bit worse given the fact that she was still working on her post partem feelings. all of the emotions getting mashed in together and coming out all at once. she just hoped that it wasn't a bad enough one to make things that much worse.

Karlie picked up her phone and shot a few texts out that she had been neglecting to reply to. including a few from friends she hadn't spoken to in forever. a few were from her mom. she was starting to realize that she hadn't even had the brain power to look at her messages in forever. maybe he was right, she needed to get some good sleep and soon. sometimes sleep comes when you really don't want it to but need it most. and while she was in the middle of replying to those texts, in the quiet, she somehow managed to drift off to sleep.

"sleep as long as you need, my love." he said gently before leaving the room and picking up Frankie from the crib. "i watched her, duddy. she's crying..." Eli looked over at him from the crib.

"i know buddy, she needs a change and she's hungry just like her big brother. we can make her a bottle while you eat your sandwich." Oliver changed Rae quickly and they were off downstairs to feed the baby and the toddler. in the back for his mind he was hoping that Karlie wouldn't be upset at him for moving her or for taking Rae out of her sight. before last night he never thought about it and now every time he has their daughter he can't help but think about how Karlie will react.

he was hoping that with sleep she would be in a better place and they could have a talk about what she was feeling and how he could be more helpful. Oliver hated that things were weird with them, they had always been open and honest with how they were feeling. that was a big key to their relationship being as stable as it was so quickly, agreeing from the start to be honest and not to hide what they felt.

"i certainly hope that you boys talked about what kind of socks that you want to do for silly socks this weekend. "we don't have to have matching ones, E! we can all have our own cute little socks that fit our own personalities. so you can have dinos if you want. and we can do little princess ones for Frankie! what do you think about for mommy and duddy?" she simply adored watching his eyes light up at the idea of having another pair of dino socks. over the last year Karlie was sure that her middle child had amassed a collection of dinosaur socks that would make any two year old jealous. but she'd be happy to give him another pair if it would make him happy. Karlie would do just about anything to make her kids smile.

"how can i say no to that face?" Oli laughed as he put Eli down, watching him take off downstairs. "be careful." Oliver looked over at Karlie, he wanted to say something to her but he also knew that a toddler going down the stairs alone was not ideal. so he say the only thing he could say quickly before moving fast behind their son. "i love you."

it took longer then he thought it would to find the art supplies but once they found them Oliver moved the box into the living room and started to pull out some things. and of course they had to play a little too. the alarm on his phone went off and looked over at Eli. "Kiddo, it's lunch time already? my goodness." he picked himself off the floor and took Eli's hand as they walked into the kitchen to make lunch.
