Bryan Mohren and his younger brother, Tyler, both decided to move their families back to Berkshire Glen after having been away for a few years. In part, because they wanted their families to reconnect (they were after all both married to Callaghans, which made them even more related than most cousins). In part, because Bryan wanted to get Lucille as far away from the man she cheated on him with, especially since they're now expecting and he has no idea whose the twins actually are.
As he lets the kids start bringing some of the smaller things into the house, Bryan stops for a chat with Tyler. "Ty, I don't know what to do."
Tyler sighs, shifting the box he carries onto the ground for half a second. "This again? How many times has Lucille apologized for that affair? Aren't you guys in therapy? Talk about your doubts with your therapist, dude. I've got my own family to take care of," he says as Jasmine joins them. He kisses her lightly. "Hey, babe, you wanna take Catie inside? I've got this."
Bryan leaves his brother and sister-in-law to return to his own moving van. Spotting Lucille trying to move one of the heavier boxes, he sighs and hustles over to her, taking it. "Lu, stop," he groans. "I'll get the heavy ones. Just make sure none of the littles have run too far."

"Yea I will take Miss Catie." Jasmine says taking their youngest.
"Yea sure will." Lucille says giving Bryan the box. She goes and looks after their kids.

Tyler gives her another kiss. "Start looking at the rooms and tell me which I should put which boxes in," he says as they head into the house together.
Bryan watches Lucille head inside, Nevaeh and Bentley and Lloyd at her heels, all chattering nonstop about what they expect the move to be like. He sighs as he lugs the box inside after them.

(same house or separate ones)
"Catie and I can do that." Jasmine says grabbing the post it notes and pen from her bag. "each room will be marked." She kisses him before setting off
"Let's go pick out you threes rooms." Lucille says. She glances back at Bryan before heading upstairs with the kids. She hated that she has made him hate her now. She can't help but think that after the boys get here he will start trusting her more. Despite what he thinks she knows that these two are his.

((Separate. I was thinking they could be neighbors.))
"Love you!" Tyler calls after her. He turns to the two older kids, four year old Tessa and two year old Nathan. "You want to grab your bags and bring them inside to mommy?"
Nevaeh and Bentley cheer, racing Lloyd up the stairs to pick out rooms. "I want this one, mommy!" Nevaeh shouts, pointjng to one.
The four older kids-- Kailey, Carter, Brileigh, and Avery-- approach Bryan. "Dad, you know you're hurting mom's feelings, right?" Kailey asks, turning to her brothers and sister to support her.

"Love you too." she calls. "Okay then that room is yours Sweetie." Jasmine makes her sticky note for the door.
"She is right Dad." Avery says.
"Mom has said she is sorry." Brileigh adds.

Tessa cheers, hugging Jasmine. "Thank you, mommy!"
Setting the box down, Bryan turns to the two sets of twins. "Kids, you need to butt out of this. This is between your mother and me."

"Love you too Tessa"
"That can be your room Nevaeh." Lucille says.
"We know but we have to watch Mom suffer too though." Brileigh says.

"Can Natey have the one right next to me?" Tessa begs.
Nevaeh pumps her fist and cheers, "Yes!" She pushes through the door and runs into the empty room, spinning around gleefully.
Bryan turns to Brileigh. "Bri, hun, I said butt out," he says as coolly as he can in the moment. "Your mother..." He doesn't complete the thought, looking at all the young faces staring at him.

"He sure can." she says. "So that means that this room is Catie's and this one is Mommy and Daddy's" She marks all the rooms. "You to can play in your rooms I am going to go tell Daddy." Nathan runs in to his room and plays. "I want this room Mom." Jenna says.
"Vivette can we still share a room?" Venetia asks her twin." "What room do you want Lloyd." Lucille says. "I don't even have to ask My Benny here. Let me guess right next to Mommy and Daddy's?"
"Uh huh." Bentley says. "Fine I will butt out Dad." Brileigh says as sh heads up to the room that will become hers.

Tessa runs after Nathan, giggling as she joins her younger brother.
Tyler sets another box in the living room as Jasmine comes back in. "Hey, baby, how'd the room picking go?" he asks with a quick kiss.
"We gotta share still, remember, Jen?" Willow says, even though she likes rhe room her twin picked out.
Viviette nods and giggles, "Don't know why you're asking, silly. Mom and dad say we gotta still."
Lloyd shrugs. "Can I get the one next to Benny?" he asks.
"Thank you, Bri," Bryan calls after her. He turns to bring in another box. "You three gonna continue helping?"

Nathan smiles running around his room.
"All done. All the rooms are marked." Jasmine says kissing him back.
"Right." Willow and Vineita say.
"You sure can Lloyd." Lucille says as Brileigh comes up stairs. "You done helping with boxes Bri?"
"Yea I am." she says. "Let me rephrase is your dad done?" "No." she says looking at her mom. She knew by the look that she had to go and help. "Fine I will finish helping."
Lucillie follows her down stairs.
"Yea we will still help." Avery says. "I am too." Brileigh says.
"Rooms are picked out. Anything I can bring in?" Lucille asks Bryan.

"Good. Not working too hard, right?" Tyler asks, a little worried about her. She did after all just give birth to their youngest a couple weeks ago.
Bryan looks up and sighs. "Lu, just unpack the boxes. You're pregnant. I've got the older kids to help."
"Dad, just talk to her already," Kailey groans.

"I am taking it easy." she says.
Lucille sighs. "Okay fine." she says before she turns to their oldest daughter. "Kailey it is okay Sweetheart."

"Good." Tyler kisses her head. "Tessie and Nate off playing?"
Kailey stands her ground. "No! You guys have been doing this for, like, years now. I'm tired of it!"
"Kailey--" Bryan warns.
"Dad, shut up and talk to her!"

"Yea they are playing in Nate;s room. Catie is asleep in her bed that is in her room."
"We will talk after all the boxes are in." Lucille says. "Wil that work?" she asks her husband and daughter.

"Good. Sounds like they're liking the place," Tyler says, smiling down at her.
Kailey crosses her arms and stares at her dad, raising an eyebrow as she awaits his response. With a sigh, Bryan resigns, "Fine. Fine. We'll bring the boxes in and while you kids are unpacking your rooms, your mother and I will talk. Will that do, Kailey?"
"It'll have to, I guess," Kailey replies, turning on her heel to help bring more boxes in.

Tyler gives her another quick kiss. "No, no, I've got it, baby. If Catie's sleeping, maybe you should go nap too. I can take Tessie and Nate. Have them help me with the little things."
Carter and Kailey help too. "Why did you guys have to insist he talk to her?" Carter asks after Bryan returns to the house with a box. Carter has always been the peacemaker.

"Okay." she says. She knew that it was a loosing battle.
"Because it is getting old. They always fight now." Brileigh says.

Tyler chuckles, seeing the look on her face. "Jas, baby, you're a mother of three who just had her third a couple weeks ago. You need your rest. I know the move isn't exactly ideal timing."
Carter groans, "Yeah but bringing it up is just gonna make them fight even more. Didn't you see what just happened?"

"Yea but at least they will talk." Bri says.

"Good." Tyler sends her off with another kiss. "Don't worry about me, baby. I've got this taken care of."
"Yeah and they're gonna get loud. They always get loud when they argue," Carter complains as the four head inside with boxes.

"I know that they do." Avery says.
Soon they were all unloaded.

Tyler goes to find Jasmine. "Hey, baby, you look refreshed," he says. "How are you feeling?"
As Bryan sets the last box inside the kitchen, a look from Kailey sends him traipsing up the stairs to find Lucille. He knocks quietly on the door to fet her attention.

"Of course. Catie comes before jnpacking for sure," Tyler says, kissing Jasmine on the cheek.
Bryan sighs, "I... hate that I'm saying this, but... I think our kids are right. We need to talk about this."

She goes and gets their youngest before feeding her.
"Let's go to our room then." She says. When they do she sits on their bed. "Okay. Let's talk."
