"Santos!" Jisoo shouted for their oldest as she helped Aden finish getting dressed in his school uniform.

Omar was already ready to go, waiting diligently for them to finish. He mostly behaved so well because Jisoo let him play with the switch she gave him for his birthday any time he wanted as long as he was a good kid, finished his chores, made good grades and made sure to go to bed on time.

Those were all rules that Chaeyoung had suggested and Jisoo had to pretend to agree were reasonable, which was hard because she was supposed to be an example to the kids and she was failing miserably in the video game department. But was it really her fault that she stayed up until four in the morning for a week straight this time because she couldn't stop playing? No, it was Ryujin, Yeji's, and Yuna's fault for designing her games so well that she didn't want to put them down.

Chaeyoung wasn't convinced by her little indignant excuse of course. Jisoo had a tendency of blaming at least three other people before Chaeyoung's stern gaze would break her and Jisoo would sigh dramatically and accept the blame. Mostly. Which was why Jisoo was so anxious not to mess up their morning by being late. She had one job today and she was already not doing very well.

"Santos! Are you ready?" Jisoo shouted again, to no avail. There was still no answer.

"And where the hell is that tie damn it?!" Jisoo grumbled, looking around frantically.

She was really bad at getting the boys ready for school without Rosie in general. How could she be expected to be good at it, when the only calm one in the family was Rosie after all. This was her first true test, Rosie usually only did short summer tours so the whole family could go with her, but this time she was asked to headline a major festival and they had all convinced her to do it.

Jisoo didn't want to let her down considering she had been so apprehensive to accept it despite it being such a huge deal. Rosie didn't care about accolades, she'd rather be with her family but she couldn't refuse when everyone literally said they'd disown her if she missed this once in a lifetime chance. The only reason Rosie wasn't facetiming them right now was because she was already doing her rehearsals for weekend two and Jisoo was slightly grateful for that so she wouldn't see how much of a shit show she was without her right now.

"Right here." Jennie giggled, walking into the room with it in her hand. She'd seen it in the hallway just now when she was heading to the kitchen and couldn't help but roll her eyes because of course Jisoo would drop part of Aden's uniform in her haste to get everyone ready. She was sure Jisoo would freak out about it at some point, so much that she would probably walk right past it several times and not see it so she decided to have mercy on her and just bring it. "You're so useless without Rosie."

"No arguments there." Jisoo said, grabbing the tie hastily so he could tie it for Aden. "Do you know where Santos is?"

"Probably downstairs flirting with Lisa again." Jennie said with an eye roll.

Jisoo looked to Jennie pleadingly and Jennie giggled.

"I'll make sure he's ready."

"Thank you Jendeuk. It's his first day of high school and you know him."

"Yeah, he's literally you in boy form."

"Chipmunk will literally murder us if he's late on his first day."

"Did you not just hear me say he's you in boy form?" Jennie teased her. "Even if you get him there on time he's not going to make it to his first class and you know it, just like you didn't because you were too busy trying to break into the principal's office to change your schedule because you didn't want to take math, remember? You said it was useless since you'd never need to know the pythagorean theorem?"

Jisoo scowled as she finished with Aden's tie. "Karma really is a bitch isn't it? I did this to myself. Aden don't say the B word. At least not around your mommy, you're allowed to call people the B word if they're being the B word."

"I can call my home room teacher from last year a bitch then?" Aden asked innocently with a slight accent. He'd learned English the quickest out of all of the boys, since he was so young he was practically a sponge that absorbed anything and everything. He'd almost lost the accent completely already, which Rosie always pouted about because she thought it was so adorable.

Jisoo paused, glancing at Jennie, silently asking for help before continuing. Jennie shook her head and crossed her arms, clearly telling Jisoo this was her mom moment, not Jennie's, and that she needed to get used to it when Rosie wasn't around.

"Yeah, just not to her face or you'll get in trouble." Jisoo said immediately, knowing Jennie wasn't going to help her with this one. "We usually don't talk behind people's back like that though. It's better to be honest and blunt to their face, because we're not going to be fake and lie so people don't fool themselves about what they're really like.

For example, we all know Limario is an idiot, so we tell her to her face so she doesn't walk around thinking she has good ideas, that would be bad for her. She'd probably be dead by now if we let her think she was smart. You've seen it, you were in the hospital with her, when she almost starved to death. She almost died that year she was away from us because we couldn't babysit her and constantly remind her that she's an idiot.

Your mommy is an angel, so we tell her that all the time because we have to appreciate her. We don't hide the fact that she's perfect so we have to be honest and always tell her that we think so, even when she grounds us from our games because even when we think we're right, we're not, mommy knows best.

Jendeukie here is a little psychotic, which is actually a good thing as long as she's on your side. So it's good for her to know that you know she's a psycho because that means she knows you'll tread carefully and won't piss her off on purpose and she'll give you grace. And since she knows you accept her craziness you can call her up and have her hide the evidence if you ever need her to. We'll talk about that later though, you and Omar are still too young for that conversation.

Anyway, that brings me back to your teacher. She's in a position of power and that means she can fuck with you so its best to keep that part to yourself for now. Unless she's really being a bitch and you have proof of it, mama Jisoo will back you up. I have my bat ready anytime you guys need it." Jisoo looked to Omar to make sure he was listening too.

Jennie facepalmed. This was her fault, really.

"Okay mama." Aden answered.

Omar's eyes were still glued to his game, but he was listening. His curls bounced as he nodded vigorously in affirmation so his mama knew he had been paying attention. Santos had once given him and Aden the big brother talk and told them that if they wanted to get anywhere in life, and still be a badass, that they should hang on to every word Jisoo said because her word was law.

"Si quieren ser chingones como la jefa, pongan atencion." Santos told them seriously.

It was a beautiful shit show in the beginning, when they got adopted, considering they all spoke different languages. Between Santos' Spanish, Omar's Arabic, and Aden's Somali, add in some Korean, Thai, and English and that house was like an international school.

Santos was adopted first, pretty much immediately after their year long trip. Chaeyoung took one look at where he lived and basically gave him no choice. He was coming home with them. They obviously couldn't take him just like that. Not when they weren't sure if his mom was even alive. Not to mention he didn't even know where his birth certificate was let alone have a passport or a visa to even travel to Korea.

They went back for him six months later after Alice painstakingly worked out the details for them. Adoptions wasn't even in her area of expertise but she knew her baby sister would stop at nothing to get him to Korea so she worked with some law school friends and got it done.

Jisoo hadn't expected to suddenly have a teenager in the house so soon after getting married. She knew Rosie wanted kids. She was prepared for that even though she had never particularly desired them but for Rosie, she would suck it up and try and read all the stupid books if she had to so she wouldn't screw them up.

There was no way she wouldn't marry her and despite Rosie never voicing it, she knew it would have been a deal breaker and Jisoo would happily trade her freedom if that's what it took to keep her chipmunk. Besides, kids couldn't be that bad. It just sucked that she couldn't go wherever the hell she wanted when she wanted because they would have humans to take care of, but that was alright as long as she had Rosie.

She knew what she had signed up for, and even though she was incredibly nervous about it, she was actually the one to bring it up, because all her preconceptions about the drawbacks of having kids got shattered on that trip.

They were on the beach in El Salvador and Lisa was running around with Santos playing soccer. Jennie was alternating between watching them and reading to Alejandra, who didn't understand a lick of english or Korean but was fascinated by it.

Jennie made it a point to make friends with the little eight year old, considering she had sort of accidentally maybe on purpose imagined running her over with a car, but that was before Lisa had told her how old she was when she used her to make Jennie jealous. It wasn't her fault she was jealous that Lisa had 'kissed' her. She thought Alejandra was some gorgeous girl that had managed to seduce Lisa, how was she supposed to know Alejandra had only been seven and Lisa was just teaching her how to dance.

Chaeyoung was smiling softly, watching Lisa and Santos too, but mostly Santos and Jisoo noticed.

"Chipmunk?"

"Hmm?" Chaeyoung said, turning her head to the side so she could look at Jisoo.

"I'm ready for kids." Jisoo said simply.

Chaeyoung's eyebrows shot up in shock.

"And so is Lisa." Jisoo said pointedly, looking back at the pair. "But she can't take him."

"I know." Chaeyoung said sadly. She could tell Lisa wanted nothing more than to rescue him.

"Jendeukie hasn't realized it yet because she's been too busy trying to pretend she's not just a little bit jealous every time Santos hits on Lisa, but she will soon and you know what she'll do."

"The same thing you're trying to do for me right now." Chaeyoung said with a hint of sadness in her voice.

"For us." Jisoo corrected her, picking up on all of the unsaid words Chaeyoung didn't use.

She was usually an open book, except when she was worried about hurting someone with her real feelings. Jisoo knew right now was one of those times. She reached out to thread their fingers together. She knew the "Jisoo, you don't have to do this" was about to come out of her blonde's mouth so she cut in before she could.

"When you teased me about taking forever to propose to you, you asked me if we wanted kids, that you needed to know because I take too long asking for the big things, remember that?"

Chaeyoung rubbed Jisoo's thumb with her own, a habit she'd always picked up when she was quietly contemplating and they held hands. Jisoo understood that meant yes, she did remember.

"I never answered you, so I'm answering now. Yes, we do want kids, we want him."

"Jisoo, you freak out anytime you're anywhere near your baby cousins, how is it you'd all of a sudden want a teenager? You don't. You're doing this for me because you've no doubt already figured out what was going through my mind."

"I did. You were daydreaming about taking him to the next food festival." Jisoo said with a smirk.

"Babe." Chaeyoung said a little sternly. "This is serious."

"I know it is. I'm serious too baby. I know that must have crossed your mind, and the fact we live in a house that's too big for the four of us and Santos lives in a barely there shack. I know you were thinking of all the ways we're blessed and he's not.

I know you were thinking about how this is the first time you've seen Lisa all grown up like that, and you finally understood like I did that she really was okay coming here all alone the first time. And even though she's an idiot and sometimes makes unnecessary decisions, you get the real reason why she toted Santos around like that. You understand he was safer with her than left to his own devices and the relationship she has with him probably saved him from spiraling like any boy his age probably would with all he's gone through.

And you know as well as I do that once Jendeukie gets over her irrational jealousy she's going to become a mother bear and want a shit ton of kids with Lisa too and I'm not letting Limario beat me to that either." Jisoo finished a little jokingly.

"I love you so much, I know you have the best intentions and you'd do anything to make sure I'm happy but kids baby? I can't expect you to do that for me too." Chaeyoung said honestly, despite the thought of not having kids hurting her very soul, but she loved Jisoo just as much, and she'd sacrifice kids to keep her wife happy too.

Jisoo smiled the softest smile at her, and Chaeyoung's heart skipped a beat, like it always did. Even after all this time. It took her back to college trips in tents, first dates, after proposal bliss, vows, cuddles during their honeymoon, breakfast in bed just because Jisoo wanted to do it and for no other reason at all.

"You didn't really think I bought that big ass house just to let Jennie and Lisa fill it with their kids did you?" Jisoo asked with a smirk.

"We need a strong force before we let dim little Limarios and psychotic Jendeukies run around unsupervised in the world. Can you imagine? They'll need all the protection they can get, well the little Limarios will. I think the world will need protection from the little Jendeukies. Either way, they'll need cousins. Santos knows how to fire a gun, that thing almost beats my legendary bat, almost." Jisoo finished seriously.

Chaeyoung couldn't help but giggle as she shook her head at Jisoo. She was as unbelievable as ever.

"But you never wanted kids." Chaeyoung pointed out, nonetheless.

"You're right. I didn't. But I also never wanted to get married either. I never believed in soulmates. But here you are and I've never been happier to be wrong in my life. I was wrong about kids too chipmunk. I didn't think they'd be worth it, honestly. It seems like all they do is suck the life out of you as soon as they're born but, I was wrong about that too.

I've been thinking about my mom a lot, how I wouldn't be me without her. And Jendeukie's mom, and how she would have been just a little bit less fucked up and a lot happier sooner if she only had her in her life for a little longer. I want to give him that too.

He's a cool kid. I was on the fence about kids still, not too long ago before meeting him, because people who don't want kids should definitely not be allowed kids so despite wanting to make you happy, I didn't want to make a poor kid suffer if I didn't actually want them. But I'm not on the fence anymore, I'm all in chipmunk.

I guess I just had to meet one almost all grown up to see how much I hate that I missed him growing up, you know? How much I wish that I had been there too, and still do, and I don't want to miss any more time." Jisoo finished softly.

"You're serious." Chaeyoung whispered, the tears already welling in her eyes.

"As serious as I am about loving you." Jisoo finished strongly, and the damn broke, Chaeyoung was crying.

"What if he doesn't want to get adopted?" Chaeyoung sniffled after a while.

"Santos!" Jisoo shouted for him.

Santos nodded his head at her and Jisoo motioned to him, and then at her and Chaeyoung, pointed somewhere in the distance, mimicked holding a video game controller, pointed at the both of them again, mimicked holding a gun and pointed at him, made a few more unintelligible hand motions that Santos apparently got because he nodded along with her and then gave him a thumbs up with a questioning look to end it all.

"Serio?" Santos shouted back at her with a grin.

Jisoo nodded once.

He ran to her and whispered in her ear and Jisoo frowned the longer he continued but nodded anyway.

"You'll have to figure out how to handle Jendeukie on your own though. I'll get you a bat."

Santos leaned down to give them both a kiss on the cheek and ran off to play with Lisa again.

"What the hell was that?" Chaeyoung asked, a little too concerned with part of their exchange to be incredulous over the fact she had literally just witnessed them communicate pretty effectively despite the language barrier.

Jisoo shrugged, "He said yes."

"I gathered that, but what did you promise him Kim Jisoo?"

Jisoo shrugged again, avoiding her eyes.

"Nothing too dangerous."

"Kim Jisoo!"

"Just that I'd be his wing man and help him break Lisa and Jendeukie up every once in a while." Jisoo finally caved, shrugging nonchalantly to try and soften the blow.

"Nothing too dangerous? Nothing too dangerous yet you're trying to incite a world war with Ruby Jane?! You might as well have promised him that he could keep the gun he has! That would have been safer than the wrath of jealous Jennie." Chaeyoung said, exasperated.

"Well, I may have promised him that too." Jisoo said sheepishly, "I'm not sure. I don't know Spanish yet and I don't know if he got that part from my made up sign language."

Chaeyoung sighed heavily and face palmed.

Still, she couldn't be more happy than in this moment, because this kind of trouble was exactly what she had signed up for with Jisoo and she was so ready for it even if she did have to parent her own wife sometimes.

___________________

"Alright boys, what did we learn from mama today?" Jisoo asked as she fixed Aden's tie.

"Honest people must always be ready for the smoke because people turn to weak little bitches when you call them out on the fact they're being bitches." Omar recited back.

"And if you made a mistake and weren't ready for the smoke?" Jisoo asked gently.

"We tell them mama has a bat and she's not afraid to use it." Aden said with a cute chubby cheeked grin.

"Nailed it." Jisoo said approvingly. "I'm so proud right now."

Jennie rolled her eyes at her cousin, deciding now was the time to take her leave or she'd have to admit to her hubby she let the kids think it was okay to curse. She would have jumped in, but they both agreed they had to let Jisoo learn how to still be Jisoo and be a responsible mother at some point and the best way to do that was to let Jisoo fix the messes she created when she was eventually called into a parent teacher conference.

Though both Chaeyoung and Jennie had a feeling those would backfire on them too because Jisoo had never lost an argument in her life—not even with Chaeyoung, because she was smart and didn't argue with her. So they both doubted a teacher would get Jisoo to back down from her logic.

One thing they both knew for sure, their kids would never get bullied at this rate, and they figured that was at least a win.

She kissed Aden on the cheek and ruffled Omar's curls, who gave her a quick dimpled smile in response and went back to his game. Jennie left the room to go find Santos.

Sure enough, she hadn't been wrong about Santos. He was making breakfast, already in his uniform and absolutely flirting with Lisa.

Again. As per usual.

Half the reason Jennie and Lisa hadn't been the ones to adopt the boys was because Santos refused to be their son because he was adamant that he would one day marry Lisa. The other half was because Rosie fell in love with all three of them and immediately wanted them.

Lisa had won photographer of the year for that photo book after all and she was adamant all the kids she took pictures of and wrote stories about came so the boys stayed with them and Rosie had immediately decided she wanted them. They'd only visited El Salvador during their trip because it had been the safest, Lisa and Jisoo had both refused to let their wives go into more dangerous territory.

Santos had for all intents and purposes long been an orphan, despite them pouring all the resources they could into it, they never found his mother. Aden's parents passed too, a year after Jennie performed his surgery, and Omar had been living with an aunt after his parents were killed in an airstrike when he was really little.

After he came back from Korea, his aunt thought Jisoo and Rosie could give him a better life so she reluctantly let him go with the promise that they would always keep in touch. She even eventually agreed into letting them pay for a biannual trip to come see him, though they had offered much more than that, but the woman was proud. She was just happy Omar would see adulthood, unlike most kids his age.

Lisa was plopped on the counter with their daughter Ella on her lap as Santos cooked.

"Soy todo un chef profesional, te puedo hacer comida todos los días. Cásate conmigo mejor." Santos said, handing Lisa a plate of fried plantains and pupusas he made himself. "Te puedes divorciar y casarte conmigo. Ya soy un gran marido no cres? Y ya estoy bastante grandesito, no tengo problemas ser papa también." Santos said with a wink as he loaded a plate for Ella too.

"Te chingaste Santos por que mi mujer ya tiene esposa, que también sabe cocinar." Jennie retorted before Lisa could let him down easy like she always did, raising an amused eyebrow at him as she walked in.

"Why did you have to be the one to learn spanish!" Santos whined in frustration.

"Because I love you. Because you're the reason my wife is still here since you saved her and mostly, because I need to know when someone is flirting with my woman, adorable teenagers with absolutely no shot in hell to steal her away from me included." Jennie said, giggling at the pouty scowl he shot her after that comment and pulling him into a hug.

"Mugre chingona suertuda." Santos sighed, returning the hug. He loved her of course, he was just resentful at her sometimes for stealing the woman of his dreams before he was old enough to even try for her.

"I know. I am aren't I?" Jennie said smugly. "Sorry I got to her first baby boy, she's mine though so give it up already, the universe gave her to me and I really don't want to have to hurt you. She promised me in every lifetime, you can't break a love like that even with the help of your scheming mother. You'll find your Lisa someday, preferably one born in the same decade as you, please."

Santos pouted and pointed to the stove.

"There's some more food there, made enough for everyone." He said grumpily, shuffling out.

"Jisoo's having a panic attack about you possibly not being ready, go tell her how responsible you are that you even made breakfast for everyone Santito!"

"I'm not responsible I'm a menace! And stop using my name against me, I'm not a saint!" Santos shouted back but walked upstairs anyway.

"Hey baby." Jennie said, kissing Ella and then Lisa. "I'm a little upset with you right now." Jennie told Ella sternly.

Ella pouted.

"What did I do mommy?"

"Don't you remember what I told you about what you needed to do when people flirted with your mama?"

"Scare them away." Ella said immediately.

"So why didn't you scare Santos away?" Jennie said teasingly.

"I did! That's why I'm sitting on mama's lap. But I couldn't really scare him totally away cus he was making us breakfass." Ella said with a lisp.

Jennie couldn't help the giggles at her seriousness as she took a huge bite of the plantains.

"Do you have surgery today baby?" Lisa asked Jennie once she was done giggling too.

"Yeah, on a little girl named Soo-in. She's a year older than Ella."

"You sound worried."

"It's going to be a tough one Lili. That's why I had you wake up early to get Ella ready for school, I've been studying the procedure all morning again. I probably won't make it tonight, it's going to take hours."

"If anyone can save her, it's the golden resident and her attending. Get out of your head love, trust those magical hands of yours." Lisa said confidently, and it was all Jennie needed to feel better about the whole thing.

She'd been worried that she wouldn't have the skills to help her attending, and normally she would have spread her books out on their bed so she could be next to Lisa while she studied, because her presence during stressful times always soothed her.

But it was going to be the first day of school, and Lisa was nothing if not whipped for their daughter, and she still hadn't gotten over the fact she was going to school again this year and not spend most of her day being Lisa's little assistant when Lisa took on projects for work so Lisa had opted to sleep in their daughter's room last night. While Lisa could sleep through anything, their daughter was a light sleeper like her so she hadn't wanted to bother them.

Lisa's faith in Jennie never wavered, and that alone had gotten Jennie through the toughest surgeries. She was absolutely sure the only reason she even became the golden resident was because Lisa was always in her head anytime that annoying negative voice reared its ugly head and tried to doubt her. Lisa's voice had always been stronger.

"I love you," Jennie said with a smitten smile, puckering her lips so Lisa would lean over to kiss her.

"Ew." Ella said, jumping off of Lisa's lap and padding away so she wouldn't have to witness her mommies be disgustingly in love so early in the morning. "This is child abuse."

"I'm not even going to bother to ask who taught you that." Jennie said with an eyeroll.

Lisa just giggled, and since Ella was out of sight now, she grabbed Jennie by the neck to pull her in for a deeper kiss, which Jennie happily obliged.

"We're leaving!" Jisoo shouted, sounding frantic. "Hurry up Limario!"

"Freakin twat block." Lisa grumbled, giving Jennie one last kiss before hopping off the counter so she could go with Jisoo to take them all to school. They had enrolled all the kids in the same private school that Jennie, Jisoo, and Kai used to go to and though they were all different ages, all the buildings were on one campus so they could easily carpool.

______________

"Alright Babygirl what do we say to the boys at school?" Lisa asked Ella sternly as soon as they got there.

"I'm a lesbian and my auntie has a bat and my mama's not afraid to use it."

"Good girl, what do we say to the girls at school?"

"I can't have a girlfriend until I'm forty five and my auntie has a bat and my mama is not afraid to use it."

"That's my baby." Lisa said approvingly. "Have fun at school."

Lisa turned to Santos, Aden, and Omar next.

"Okay boys, what do we do if someone is hitting on Ella?"

"Tell you so you can hit them with mama's bat." Aden and Omar both said in unison.

"Hit them with the bat first then tell you." Santos said with a smirk. "Or tell them I have a rifle."

"Good boys." Lisa said, ruffling their hair in turn. "You guys keep an eye out like a hawk for me and I'll always have your back when Chaengie tries to ground you."

"But she never grounds us." Aden whispered to Omar as they started to walk away.

"I think she means when mommy gets that really sad face and almost cries when we're bad." Omar offered.

"Oh yeah. I hate that. It's so sad." Aden agreed.

"Please, I made her actually cry." Santos said as he walked them all to class like he always did.

He always delivered every single one of his new siblings and Ella before going to his own. He didn't really have to do that, but growing up how he grew up, he was way too protective of them.

They were all in therapy for their traumas, but Santos was pretty sure he'd never get over the fear of one of them getting stolen from him if he wasn't careful, just like he didn't think Omar would ever stop flinching when he saw a plane in the sky because he'd automatically assume it was a missile, or how Aden always, always ate every single thing on his plate even when he didn't like the food because he had starved most of his life.

Ella was the only one mostly unscathed because she had grown up under two very caring and successful mommies, though Santos sometimes wondered if her three older cousins would end up traumatizing her because all three of them were insanely over protective of her even though she was barely in kindergarten.

She got a Valentine's Day card in pre-k from a boy asking her to be his girlfriend and all three of them had ganged up on him and threatened him to stay away from her.

Lisa and Jisoo had taken them out to the arcade as a treat for doing that.

Jennie and Chaeyoung rolled their eyes at all five of them and gave them a talking to, saying that eventually Ella would date and that they would just have to get used to the idea.

Lisa grumpily holed herself up in her office after that little talk. Jisoo spend the rest of the night angrily playing a shooting game because thinking about her niece and her boys eventually dating didn't sit well with her either.

______________

"We might need a bigger house." Jennie said as she left her doctor's appointment. She just found out she was having twins. Their combined kid count was suddenly going to seven, and that didn't even include the zoo they had with all of their combined fur babies.

Jisoo and Chaeyoung had adopted Soo-in too, so now they had four kids and Jennie and Lisa were suddenly going to jump to three. Not to mention Kai and Felix' kid Woojin practically lived at their house half the time because he loved staying over.

"Don't worry wifey, there's plenty of space. There's still enough room. We might just have to remodel the kitchen to fit in another fridge and the dining room to fit all of us and move Ella's room next to Soo-in's so the nursery can be next to yours and Lisa's room." Chaeyoung said encouragingly.

She had been the one to go to that appointment with Jennie because for one, Jennie didn't want Lisa to know the gender of the baby yet because when they had Ella, Lisa had gone wayyy overboard and practically bought out an entire department store full of clothes and toys for her in her excitement.

She was trying to discourage that habit a bit, though she doubted she would succeed. She caught Lisa last night sighing and smiling as she browsed the internet and she just knew Lisa was looking at baby stuff.

"Are you crazy hubby? They'd murder each other." Jennie giggled. "There's a reason they're on separate floors."

"We'll just have to sacrifice our sanity a bit. It might even be a little nostalgic for us, like the lunches in the quad we used to have with you and Lisa going at each others throats all the time." Chaeyoung said, giggling too.

"I'm so sorry hubby, now I know how you felt all of those years." Jennie said with a sympathetic look as Chaeyoung opened the car door for her.

"Karmaaaa." Chaeyoung sing songed playfully. "She always manages to come back around even if you think she won't."

Their little extended family was very chaotic. Santos spent ninety percent of his time hitting on Lisa, and the other ten percent scheming with Lisa and Jisoo or being a menace on his own.

Omar was calm for the most part, at home, but he never lost his humor or his foul mouth so he was also always getting in trouble at school for humiliating the teachers when he disagreed with them, Jisoo did nothing to help prevent that deviant streak.

Aden was like Lisa, he couldn't sit still to save his life so at some point or another he'd be playing and chasing Lisa around the house or vice versa, or Woojin when he was over.

Jisoo and Lisa were still Jisoo and Lisa so they were always chaotic. Their wives always had to scold them for acting more like children than their actual children.

They eventually found that the twins balanced each other out for the most part, Sol was a menace but Lucas was more on the rational side so he tended to temper most of her troublemaking ways, and she tended to use his intelligence for evil. They were attached at the hip and despite being the youngest were responsible for most of the successful pranks on the family.

They were all chaotic, but no one, absolutely no one was more chaotic than Ella and Soo-in.

They hated each other. They got off on the wrong foot when they met. The girls didn't know what happened, all they knew was that the two girls were in their play room and suddenly there were shouts and when they ran in there they caught them wrestling each other.

From then on, anytime Soo-in or Ella were in the same room together they had only two modes— either completely ignoring each other or shouting insults, depending on their moods that day.

"Are we sure we're really going to finally let mama do the cooking this year?" Sol asked her twin dubiously.

"We've all done it at least once, I don't think we can put off her turn any longer. It can't be any worse than last year." Lucas shrugged, ever the optimist.

"What happened last year?" Kai asked the twins, sneaking up behind them.

"Your dear goddaughter was tapped to do the cooking with Sooin, didn't Woojin tell you?" Sol asked in confusion, it had been quite the spectacle after all, their annual What's Best Food Tour had been their most memorable yet.

"They managed to Flambé everything." Lucas added. "I'm pretty sure the torches were only supposed to be for the creme brulee but Sooin said something about Ella's boyfriend so Ella said something about Sooin's girlfriend and they were both pissed and then we found out none of them were even together anymore and I'm not really sure what happened after that but torches were involved, on the food, not each other."

"We got dinner and a show. Mostly because mama and auntie Jisoo finally found out their girls had been dating and they flipped. Then Santos had Omar and Aden in the car with the bat before auntie Rosie gave them the sad disappointed look and they shuffled back inside. You missed out uncle Kai. You really should have thought that through though and missed this year instead." Sol said seriously.

"Come on guys, my bestie is good at everything. She can't be that awful at cooking."

"She tried to bake us a cake for our birthday once since mommy always did it for us and when she decorated it she put too much food coloring and it came out all black." Lucas deadpanned.

"Which would have been cool, actually, except she forgot to turn the oven on. When she realized she had forgotten she had the bright idea to turn it up all the way so it would cook faster and..." Sol trailed off, letting her brother finish.

"And lets just say the cake wasn't the only thing that was black when it was all said and done. That's why they remodeled the kitchen that year."

"That was years ago though." Kai said defensively on Lisa's behalf.

"She tried making ramen for the dancers last month and she didn't put enough water in it so they ended up eating crunchy noodles." Sol offered.

"Yesterday I saw her practicing how to crack an egg and you'd think she was afraid to break it by the way she was tapping it." Lucas continued. "I think she thought a baby chick might come out of it or something if she cracked it too hard."

Sol nodded along solemnly. Their mama was utterly hopeless in the kitchen and as cute as it was, no one needed to suffer over it.

"I'll call Bambam." Kai said, finally giving in to the twins' logic.

"You're going to need a legion of chefs if you're really going to help her out!" Sol shouted after him. "Bambam said he'd never help her out again after he helped mama with an anniversary dinner! And that was just cooking for two! There's going to be at least a dozen of us this year and nobody wants to be in the kitchen with mama! Not even mommy or Santos have the patience!"

"We've got a whole week to prepare, we can do this." Kai said optimistically, running off to call any five star chef he knew to beg them to give Lisa lessons.

"I kinda feel bad we pawned mama off on uncle Kai." Lucas said, once he was out of earshot.

"I don't." Sol shrugged. "It was for the greater good and you know it. Let's go tell the others the plan worked."

"What plan?" Said a stern voice that materialized out of nowhere, their mother had a knack for doing that at the most inopportune times.

Lucas froze, not expecting her mommy to be home so soon. Sol didn't even bother to lie, they were caught anyway.

"My genius plan to get the only person who'd never give up on mama's cooking to help her this year."

"Oh thank god." Jennie said in relief. "I really thought I was going to have to get Jesse and Jackson in on it this year to take her place. We're running out of family members. Kai's going to help?"

"I'm pretty sure he already managed to get Gordon Ramsay on the phone by now." Lucas said, only half jokingly.

"Oh no, not him. He'll crush her soul." Jennie said in worry.

"Good, it needs to be crushed. She needs to stop thinking she can ever cook." Sol quipped.

"Sol!" Jennie scolded her.

"What, its true!"

"She's not that bad." Jennie halfheartedly defended her wife.

"Let me just call uncle Kai back then." Sol said with a smirk.

"Let's not be hasty." Jennie said quickly.

Sol shot her a devious smirk, knowing she won.

"I'm being a good mother! I don't want any of you guys getting food poisoning." Jennie said a little defensively.

"I'm telling mama you said that." Sol said with a giggle.

"You tell Lisa I said that and I'll tell Kai you tricked him into doing all the work so we wouldn't have to crush your mama over not letting her do it again this year."

"You wouldn't dare." Sol said, narrowing her eyes calculatingly.

Jennie raised a challenging brow at her.

"He gets all pouty when when we don't tell him the plan and use his overeagerness against him." Sol whined.

"I won't tell if you don't." Jennie said, holding out her pinkies out to both of them.

The twins promised never to mention it again, pinky swearing on it.

Lisa was incredibly proud of herself. Not because of her food, it was awful. Kai had almost lost a limb in the process of helping her, Lisa was going to have to go with short hair again because the ends of her long hair were singed, but nothing could break her mood because she was finally going to win the bet this year.

Thanks to her awful cooking and the fact no one in their right mind would have given the cheap food high scores this year because Ella and Sooin had the brilliant idea to mess with each other's food and over salt each other's plate when the other wasn't looking, but Sol had one upped them and kept trading their plates with everyone else's so everyone's plate except the twins' ended up being too salty.

The expensive food was sure to win, and Lisa had picked it on a whim. It was finally her lucky year.

Lisa clinked her glass to get everyone's attention after running back from the bomb shelter with a bottle of Jisoo's most expensive champagne, as was the custom now for their food tours.

"Alright, I won this time right?" Lisa said with a grin. "What's the score? I know expensive food won this year and I'm pretty sure besides the pretty boy, I'm the only one that probably picked that to win."

Jisoo couldn't stop the cackle from escaping even if she tried.

"Homemade food won by a landslide." Jisoo said gleefully.

Lisa's smile dropped.

"I know you're lying." Lisa said with an eyeroll. "Chaengie, tell your wife to stop fucking with me."

"She's not Lis." Chaeyoung said with a giggle too.

"Are you tipsy already?" Lisa said with narrowed eyes. She gave up on Rosie quickly and turned to her wife. "Baby, tell everyone expensive food won."

Jennie pressed her lips together, trying not to laugh as she looked around the table at the half guilty and half amused faces surrounding her, immediately guessing that the kids had also felt a little guilty about steering clear of the house while Lisa and Kai cooked that they all gave her high scores for the effort.

Lisa's faced dropped as she looked around the room.

"There's no way!" Lisa said exasperatedly. "Everyone knows I'm an awful cook!"

"No you're not mama." Lucas tried to say convincingly, but failed miserably.

"Yeah, the pad Thai was edible!" Ella jumped in to help her baby brother.

"I made that." Kai cut in, but promptly shut that train of thought when Lisa shot him a betrayed look. "Bestie totally helped though." Kai said, nodding firmly.

"I liked the mango sticky rice." Santos offered.

"I don't think that's what that was." Omar whispered under his breath.

"The chicken satay was good though." Aden said to cover up for Omar's whisper yell.

"Uncle Bammy snuck that in when everyone wasn't looking because he didn't want us to starve." Sooin countered with a giggle. "I let him in."

"Mama, lets be real, your food sucked, but we all gave it a high score because you made it with love and you tried really hard and that's all that matters." Sol said with an unapologetic shrug. "Please don't do it again."

"How many years in a row is it that you've lost now Limario?" Jisoo taunted her with a cackle. "I don't know why you insisted on joining the vote despite being the cook, you should have known better!"

"This was your doing, you totally cheated again! You put them up to this!" Lisa said indignantly, grabbing the unopened bottle of champagne next to her and shaking it.

"Don't be a sore loser Limario, you can't cook, you can't win bets, don't blame me for your inadequacies!"

Lisa popped the cap and aimed the fountain of champagne right at Jisoo, who had already bolted.

"Water fighhhhhht!!!!" Santos shouted, cupping his hands. "Man your stations!"

The kids scattered from the table and ran to the guns hidden around the house.

They'd already decided on teams before the dinner, Team Ella vs Team Sooin, but that was only after they took out all of the adults, who had no idea their mostly grown kids had been planning this as soon as all hell would inevitably break loose.

Jennie immediately hid behind Lisa, who pushed her back to a corner while she took the brunt of the water as the twins sprayed them.

Woojin went chasing after Kai.

Jisoo had been incredibly quick on the uptake and managed to snag a few guns and make it upstairs and was battling her three boys coming up the stairs behind her.

Felix and Rosie didn't even bother to run, giggling at the chaos around them, and were quickly left alone, only catching stray water as they sat on the counter sharing a bag of gummy bears and watched the fight.

Ella and Sooin forgot they were supposed to get the adults out first and were fiercely battling each other in the thick of it.

By the end of it, the only person that was mostly dry was Jennie. The twins had quickly lost interest, knowing their whipped mother would never let them douse Jennie if she could help it so they went off to corner Jisoo since she had higher ground and the boys hadn't managed to make much headway in that department.

Lisa finally turned around to face Jennie, sporting a proud goofy grin. Jennie was beyond smitten, her eyes sparkling.

"You didn't get too wet, did you baby?" Lisa asked gently, checking her over.

"A little too wet, mind you. And it's all your fault." Jennie said with a sinful smirk. "That was really hot of you Lili."

Lisa's smile dropped in disappointment, before the words caught up to her.

Jennie giggled cutely at the dumbfounded look on Lisa's face and skipped away like she hadn't just said what she said to Lisa.

"Baby braaaaat!" Lisa whined.

Jennie simply looked over her shoulder and sent her the sexiest wink ever, before reverting back to the cutest mandu she'd ever laid her eyes on.

"That's so illegal Ruby Jane!" Lisa shouted after her incredulously. "You're paying for that later!"

"I look forward to it idiot!" Jennie singsonged back with a giggle.

"God I love my life." Lisa said incredulously as she chased after the cute spoiled brat that was her tiny wife.

A/N

Idk I like water gun fights lol. This is like the third time I wrote about one lmao.

So I ended up deleting half the chapter because I had too many side plots going that would require spinoffs at some point and this was sitting in my drafts for way too long because I couldn't finish them. That said, I finally marked this story complete, but Jenlisa universe never ends so I might revisit one particular plot I found amusing, or something you guys might want me to explore. I left a lot of things unsaid.
