Summary
As they frolicked in the garden, mud-covered hands and paws soon turned everyone into unrecognizable, mud-spattered creatures. Laughter echoed in the air as they chased each other around, but the muddy chaos didn't go unnoticed for long.
The sound of a car pulling into the driveway caught their attention, and they turned to see Henry returning home from his errands. However, the joy on his face quickly turned to disbelief as he took in the sight of his mud-covered family.
"Goodness gracious! What happened here?" Henry exclaimed.
As Henry pointedly surveyed the muddy scene, Ellie, Artie, David, and Alex exchanged guilty glances. In unison, the twins turned and pointed fingers at Alex, leaving him appalled and bewildered.
Alex stuttered, "Wait, why are you all blaming me?"
---
In this series of one-shots, we see Alex and Henry settle into their fun and domestic but chaotic lives with twin children, Ellie and Artie.
The stories can range from baby twins to adult twins.

Summary
He lowers the phone, and Hayden instantly launches into his rambling before Shane can get a word in. “Listen, I saw you were panicking, and you were so far away that you were barely responding, so I thought I’d call your girl, I thought maybe she knew how to help you better or she could talk to you, I thought–I don’t fucking know what I was thinking, but then he picked up the phone, and–”
“How do you know my passcode?” Shane asks again.
“That’s what you’re focusing on?” Hayden is basically yelling at this point. “Rozanov is screwing your girlfriend, and you’re worried about how I know your fucking passcode?”
Shane’s brain fully short-circuits.
“Rozanov is what?”
Or: Shane accidentally wears Ilya’s jersey to his team practice. The Voyageurs react about as well as is to be expected, and Hayden jumps to some very confident and very incorrect conclusions.- Language:
