There were a few things that she hated, and coming across a case that James had neatly wrapped in a bow and handed to the prosecutor was one of them. Her work was cut out for her, except she looked at the dates on the case. James had been out of town, so how could he had done most of the leg work? This case had been handed off, she knew that much. Well, she was going to have to dig to find out. She came into the living room and tossed her paperwork on the counter as she always did. The two stayed out of each other's paperwork whenever it followed them home.

JJ gripped onto her leg and Ellie was glued to her waist before she could even tell James that she was home. Normally, she beat him home but not tonight. Why were the kids still awake? No she already knew the answer to that. Picking up JJ and tickling Ellie to make her let go, she decided to get a headstart on dinner. "You two hungry? I bet Daddy is too." She replied softly. Tiffany relaxed a bit and set JJ down so she could work on dinner. "Go get your daddy and tell him Mommy's home." Sure she could scream across the house, but why not let the kids run around excited get some energy out when they were going to tell him anyway.

He had gotten home early for a change, that was mostly due to the three meetings and then the eye doctor appointment he had earlier in the day, and the fact that for once no one decided to act crazy and take people hostage for whatever reason. But that did not mean he did not come home with a stack of papers. Once he got the kids situated with age appropriate distractions, he sat down on the couch in the living room and started reading. That whole plan lasted for about an hour, then James was asleep, Ellie being the sweet girl she was tossed a blanket (As best she could) over her dad before going back to watching Animal Planet and coloring. 

When Tiffany came home, Ellie was quick to run and greet her with JJ following as fast as he could on her heels, "You two hungry? I bet Daddy is too." Ellie quickly nodded, "Go get your daddy and tell him Mommy's home." Ellie quickly nodded again, "He's taking a nap but I'll wake him up." she said as she ran off, leaving Tiffany and JJ in the kitchen. Ellie ran back to the living room, "Daddy, mommy is home and she said for me to tell you that she is home. Sooooooo get up." reaching up she poked her father on the nose several times till he cracked an eye open. "What did you say? The house is on fire?" he asked as he closed his eyes again, Ellie shook her head, "No. Mom is home." she repeated. James opened his eyes again and looked to his watch, seeing the time he muttered a curse word under his breath and quickly sat up. "Ya'll were supposed to be in bed by now..." he muttered again as he pushed his papers off his lap.

Standing up be started towards the kitchen, the evidence of his nap clear on his face and the fact that his usually neat hair was sticking up all crazy. Ellie followed behind him, skipping as she walked, "Mommy just got home and is making dinner because it is almost dinner time." James scratched his face, technically it was past dinner time and closer to bedtime, but thankfully it wasn't a school night so it was not that bad that the kids were still up. The two of them entered the kitchen, James walked over to Tiffany and gave her a kiss on the cheek, "How was your day?" he asked.

Tiffany had heard the conversation on the couch while she was starting dinner. She was more or less busy with throwing a quick dinner into the oven when she felt James beside her. “Dinner, Bath, Bed?” She quiered. That was her response when she didn’t want to talk, or it had simply been a long day. She rubbed her eyes softly and looked towards him. “You look like you could use the sleep yourself.” She added playing with a bit of his hair.

JJ was nearby playing with his tonka trucks by the time James made his way over. He got up and was poking at Tiffany. “Awtch Momma! Awtch.” Tiffany couldn’t help but look or she was going to get pestered. It was one of those mom things.

“Too much energy so late at night.” Tiffany was exhausted, and if the kids were up she was going to be up going over those files. That was usually how she ended up sleeping on the couch, instead of the bed.

“Dinner, Bath, Bed?” he yawned and nodded, “You look like you could use the sleep yourself.” James stretched his arms as she messed with his hair, "I took a nap, that should cover me for a while." he could run on little sleep, it was something he mastered thanks to his time in the military. JJ was busy toddling around, moving between playing with his toys and bothering his mother, Ellie meanwhile had relocated her coloring book to the kitchen table. “Too much energy so late at night.” James rubbed his face and glanced at his watch, "I expect both of them to crash after dinner, especially him because he's been going all day." he did not know where kids got their energy, he just knew that when they were out of energy, they were soon asleep. "Want me to do anything? I honestly meant for them to be in bed by now but I pulled a you and fell asleep on the couch." he asked as he leaned against the counter.

Tiffany could always use the sleep, but it didn’t come that easy for her. Usually, she went until she passed out on the couch and James carried her to the bedroom. Tiffany reached down and redirected JJ and his toys out of the kitchen so that she could fix dinner quickly. Tiffany wasn’t bugged by everyone being awake, though it was a bit different from the usual routine. “You were on call today?” She wasn’t sure how James managed to stay home a good portion of most of the days with his job. However, Tiffany was usually needed in court, so there was little she could do when it came to working from home. “I think I have it all handled.” She responded with a shrug and another yawn.

“You were on call today?”

"I had a meeting this morning but after that it was mostly a quiet day, which is nice for a change." he replied, making sure the kids were occupied he reached for the pile of mail that was on the counter, most of it was junk mixed with a few actually important stuff. Having gone through the pile he set it back down, "Ellie, when mom says it is time to eat, you go wash your hands and clean up your coloring." he told her, the little kid chirped back some reply while JJ kept babbling on. His attention was drawn to a rather thick file sitting on the counter, it was not uncommon for either parent to bring something home from work either to review or to finish up for the next day. But this one was different, it had his hand writing on it, and he did not bring anything home...so why did his wife bring it home? "So how was work today?" he asked curiosity getting the best of him.

Tiffany had her back turned and was cooking at the stove while James was going through the mail on the counter. Then he asked about work. “Just like any other day. Overworked and overloaded.” She always had a ton of cases to work on at any given point. It was because there were only a few military lawyers in the state to help those on the bases. Finally getting pasta into the boiling water she turned back around to talk with him.

“Though I thought we agreed that even if paperwork has to come home with us, that work doesn’t.” She reminded him before wrapping her arms around him and trying to get his attention back on her. Tiffany didn’t want to see if he was going to test this conversation. No, the last case she wanted to talk about was the one she had to rip apart that James had investigated.

“Though I thought we agreed that even if paperwork has to come home with us, that work doesn’t.”

He hugged her back and rested his head on top of hers, his eyes glancing back to the file on the counter top. What she said was true, they both worked hard to keep work and home separated as much as possible, but sometimes things happened, "True..." he replied, "But what about when your wife brings home something from your work that you did not bring home?" he asked. Each of them bringing home something was one thing, but to have one bring home the others stuff...that did not make sense. So what was his wife doing with with his stuff? "And why that file?" he asked as he nodded to the object in question.

So James was still going to pry. ”Because that’s my case. End of story.” Really that told him nothing. She wasn’t about to explain how she ended up with his case. Tiffany leaned into his hug. She wanted to relax and this was far from that endeavor. No, that case was a headache and a half. She hardly wanted to discuss anything about it. James made nicely wrapped tight cases but Tiffany was going to have to pull everything apart. It was just a part of the job.

”Because that’s my case. End of story.”

"It was my case before it was yours, so I believe I am allowed to ask why it is suddenly appearing on my kitchen counter." he remembered the case and the last time he had seen the file that case had been closed, everything neatly done the way it was supposed to. "So who asked for you to go nosing thru it?" he asked as JJ let out a happy squeal of delight as he started chasing the cat, around the kitchen, letting go of Tiffany, James leaned down and scooped up the littlest Harris as he moved past settling the toddler on his hip James looked back to Tiff as JJ started messing with James's hair. "If you want my actual case notes and not what I ended up summarizing, I could probably be convinced to share them with you, then again I don't want you falling asleep on the couch again." it wasn't uncommon for her to do so, and if he could prevent it he'd do his best to do so.

Tiffany gave him a look. “My case. My client and the rest falls under attorney client privilege.” She stated. Even if she wanted to tell him why she couldn’t. She knew that he was more or less digging for information. James was infuriating at times. Tiff was going to fall asleep on the couch anyway. That was what she did, she got lost in case notes and everything else working to the crack of dawn and her case win rate was exceedingly high for a defense attorney. “We both know I am falling asleep on that couch either way.”

Tiffany moved off to finish up with dinner. She was doing something quick, Spaghetti at this time of night wasn't unheard of, just she knew everyone was going to be hungry. Once she dumped the noodles in the water, she set to work on browning the meat. Tiff stared into the pan with a glazed over expression.

“My case. My client and the rest falls under attorney client privilege.”

Sometimes he really hated lawyer talk, people like to say that he danced around when giving answers, lawyers could be just as bad sometimes. He noticed that she did not answer his question about wanting his notes for the case, Tiffany was tired, and even if she fell asleep on the couch (again) he would make it a point to at least make sure she was comfortable. "Dear, you want me to do that? You can go sit down in you want." he said as he moved toward the stove.

Tiffany came and wrapped her arms around James for a moment when he asked her if she wanted him to finish up with dinner. "Do I get an option?" She smirked towards him. She knew full well that she did, but she was enjoying teasing him for the moment.

Letting him take over she wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her chin on his forehead massaging his shoulders. Okay, so she wasn't exactly ready to go rest and she could pamper him if she wanted to do so.
