“Bad boy,” she jokes. “Round two will have to be later.”
I give her a fake sobbing noise, and we both rise out of the bed. I put on my boxers while Amber puts on her robe, and we make a trip down the hallway that we must have done a hundred times already.
Both Percy and Georgia are standing up in their cribs, crying their eyes out. We each go to one child and proceed to comfort them, then change their diapers. Once they are changed, their temperaments shift along with them. Now, instead of crying, they are calm, playful and intrigued by every new movement.
“Let’s get you two something to eat!” I exclaim.
We go into the kitchen, where we sit both Georgia and Percy into their own high chairs. Percy is a bit more vocal than Georgia, crashing his fists against the chair and demanding food at a quicker pace.
It makes me laugh and soar to the differences in their personalities as well as their appearance. Georgia has my bright blue eyes, while Percy has his mother’s dark mystery. Nothing about his personality, though, is mysterious. Georgia is more thoughtful and internal.
We feed them their blended carrots and apple sauce, then go about making our own meal. The twin go into their playroom which is just off the kitchen, wandering about to find toys to chew on and explore.
I watch them with wonder while Amber makes both eggs and toast. I put coffee on, which tastes like nectar.
“God, that’s good,” I groan.
Amber comes to me, wrapping her arms around me, leaning her head on my chest. She breathes in deeply, and I run my hands through her hair.
“What’s wrong, honey?”
“Nothing, nothing all,” she says, sniffling. “I never thought I would ever have a life like this, Kaden. Literally. And now every day, I have to pinch myself.”
I tilt her head back and plant a kiss on her forehead, each cheek, and finally, her rose-petal lips. I smile at her, lingering into those deep pools of wonder for a moment longer.
“Keep pinching yourself, honey. Because this is real. And it’s only going to get better.”
THE END.

JENNIFER
The light chirping of the birds stirs me from my sleep, and I open an eye to the muted light washing into the room through the curtains. I snuggle comfortably into the pillow on my side, throwing the warm comforter over my bare shoulders as I allow sleep to take over once again.
Not for long, however, as I feel a soft pair of lips press against the back of my neck.
“What thefuck?”
I push myself up, confused and hungover, a wave of dizziness washing over me at the abrupt action.
“Good morning to you, too, beautiful,” the man beside me greets, sitting up with a lazy smile on his face. “I trust last night’s activity left you satisfied?”
“God, what even happened? And why am I in bed with you?” I dumbly ask, rubbing my temples with my fingers as I try to remember what happened. Yet I only see flashes of light, music, and people, which really doesn’t help with my situation.
“Let’s just say you invited me for a good time, sweetie,” he comments. “And Ididhave a good time if you’re curious.”
Oh God, not another cocky nobody.
“Save the effort of wooing me, it won’t work.” I leave the bed and make my way to my vanity to grab my bathrobe from the chair. “Now, please leave. I have to work at eleven.”
“Good company in bed and a hustler? I think I hit the jackpot,” he says as he pulls his boxers up.
