***Dek's POV***

"Shhhhhh. Daddy has you. Don't worry princess." I bounce Shane up and down, while making her bottle. She is the hungrier of our babies. Every two hours, she is like an alarm clock.

Shawn sleeps longer, thankfully. He gives me the chance to take care of his sister.

"There you go, sweet pea. Drink up." I place a gentle kiss on her precious head and push the bottle to her smacking lips.

"I'm sorry." Elik comes behind me, Shawn is asleep in his arms.

"Don't be. We agreed. I'm Mr. Mom. You work. It's fine." I yawn tiredly. These first few days have worn my ass down.

"2:30 right?" Elik makes Shawn's bottle. The baby's small whimpers are all we get to inform us that he's ready to eat.

"Yeah, Dr. Salina's. First check up." I place a kiss on his lips and walk to the couch.

"Ana is coming at seven. Please get some rest. You look exhausted." Elik sits beside me and shifts Shawn so that we can be as close as possible.

"It's just taking time to get used to. Everyone helps. I promise." I smile at my husband. I love him so much. He worries too much.

"I have three of them at the office all day. Yani is still recovering. Cali has work. Cherry has school. How exactly is everyone pitching in?" Elik gives me a smirk. He knows he has me.

"Your Mom will come help. I will call her. Stop stressing." I have been trying to handle it alone. I just don't want everyone to think I can't do it.

"Stop acting like Super Dad. We all know you are capable. There is no shame in getting a nap in." Elik places Shawn in the bassinet and rushes to the coffee maker. I burp our little princess and set her down as well.

"Yes, Sir." I close my eyes and lean my head against the wall.

"If you fall asleep while holding the babies, you're going to drop one." Elik gives me a chuckle.

"I would sooner throw myself over a cliff." I yawn again and accept the coffee from his hands.

"I will see you at the appointment. Call mom. Please." Elik sweeps me into his arms and plants a breath stealing kiss on my lips, effectively awakening all the parts of me.

"Maybe I can join you in the shower." I follow behind him up the stairs.

"That's a good idea." Elik grips my hand and pulls me to the bathroom.

In record time, I have the monitor turned on and my clothes are off. I slide in and wrap my arms around his torso. I immediately start moaning as his lips devour my neck.

"I love you." Elik talks between plucking my flesh with his silk lips.

"I love you. God. Just fuck me already." My hips are rutting, my ass pulses in anticipation.

Elik pulls my legs around his waist and pins me to the shower wall. His fingers find my needy hole and he enters me. I shutter in his arms.

"Lord. I miss doing this at all hours." Elik presses inside of me. My body willingly accepts his steel member. I bounce in his hands. He pushes in slowly and rocks up until he is buried balls deep.

"Fuck. You're so hot." Elik kisses my lips hungrily. He thrusts into me while my head falls against the shower wall. I hold onto his shoulders and enjoy his pounding into my body.

"I won't last." I warn my husband. It's been too long. I'm going to lose it.

"Good." He kisses me hungrily and plows inside of me, just like I love.

"Fuck. Dek. Jesus." Elik pants as my hole clenches around his thick cock. I push my hand in between us and move slowly through his thrusts. My dick jumps with every tug.

"Baby. I'm gonna cum." Elik puts his head into my shoulder and shutters. My tunnel fills with his hot seed and I cum a few minutes later. I milk my dick while Elik continues to work me through my orgasm.

"Fuck. That's amazing." I stand on wobbly legs. Elik helps me wash and we rush through the rest of the shower.

I jump out of the water when one of our children cry. I'm used to it. I don't think we have spent thirty minutes alone since their arrival. I miss my husband.

I throw a towel around my waist and skip stairs on the way down.

I watch as Yani consoles Shawn. That's different. He's not the crier.

"His belly hurts. He keeps hiccuping." Yani sits down and places the baby on her lap. She pats his butt and rubs his back.

His little body jolts every time the terrible hiccups ravish his tiny form.

"He probably ate too fast." Elik comes from behind me and sweeps Shawn up. He puts him on his shoulder and runs his cupped palm slowly from Shawn's tiny back to his neck. He pats him a few times.

Elik groans when hot formula lands on his bare chest.

"Okay. Let's get him cleaned up. You go clean yourself and get ready for work." I take Shawn and attempt to hide my chuckle.

"That smells awful." Yani giggles and grabs Shane from the bassinet.

"I would rather he puke it up than have his belly ache." I lay Shawn down on the changing table and strip him. Yani puts Shane down and makes up the tiny tub of water.

It really takes a village to raise twins.

I slip on a pair of sweats that Elik drops off to me.

I spend the next thirty minutes cleaning every tiny wrinkle, all the creases and his neck from the smell of rotten milk.

Shawn smells human again. I dry him off and kiss him repeatedly as I make him a new bottle. I feed him super slowly, burping him in between half ounces.

"I love you baby. I will see you at 2." Elik kisses me, Yani's cheeks and both our children's heads.

"I love you too. Be careful please." I rock my sleepy baby in our glider rocker.

"You hungry?" I ask Yani. She picks up Shane and moves her to the cradle of her arms.

"I'm still me Dek. Of course I am." Yani follows me back to the living room.

Ana walks in smiling. She starts breakfast. Once we are sitting down eating, she takes time to love on the kids.

"They get cuter every day." Ana coos and strokes their cheeks simultaneously.

"They really do. I love them so very much." I yawn the last word out. My eyelids are heavy.

"Dek. You need sleep. You're not gonna be able to keep this up." Yani pushes my hair back, lifts my head and shakes hers.

I grab my phone and text Maggie. These kids need Gammy time.

"Maggie is coming. I promised Elik." I finish my plate off and clean it before sticking it in the sink.

Not too long passes. Maggie waltzes in and pushes me down to the couch. She covers me in a blanket and kisses my forehead.

"Take a nap. Now. No arguing. Zayne is on the way and ready to enforce it. Elik tattled. You have to ask for help sweet pea. We want to help." I close my eyes and nod. Yeah sure.

My eyelids glue shut, leaving no chance for me to argue. I doze into a blissful haze of sleep.

"Good morning sunshine." I sit up and stretch. I laugh when Zayne has a pink burp cloth thrown over his shoulder. He gently pats our princess's bottom.

"Thank you. I feel amazing." I stand up and kiss my kids. I hug my in laws and go to
the kitchen where Ana is making lunch. I thank her and sit down, accepting the sandwich and chips. She's too good to us.

"I'm glad the bags are gone dear. Let's stop letting it get to that point." Ana rubs my back and walks food out to Maggie and Zayne.

"Why don't you let us stay over tonight? You and Elik can have a date, get a full nights sleep and do other things." Zayne calls out to me across the living room.

"I will tell Elik at the appointment. I think I would like that." I smile and finish off my meal.

"So would we. Ian is waiting for a call as well. Just so you know. Quit hogging our grand babies." Zayne jokes around.

"I was just trying to prove myself." I shrug.

"You're amazing. There is no disappointment in asking for help." Maggie looks at me with a gentle grin.

"You sound like your son." I laugh heartily. Because, they really do.

They help me get the kids packed up, strapped into their carriers and in the vehicle." I drive carefully with my precious cargo.

As promised, my husband is in the parking lot. He hurries over and takes Shane. I grab a bag and Shawn. We sign in and wait for our turn with the Pediatrician.

It doesn't take long. We are on the wellness side of the office. We get back there and stand to the side while the babies get checked out.

Dr. Salina gives us a pat on the back and some gas drops for the twins. I take the check off sheet, he hands us. I put them in the side of the bag. We get an appointment for a couple months and head back to the car.

Elik follows us home. His parents descend quickly. They inform him of our plans and take the babies from our arms.

Elik whines. He hovers. He sits down with both children on each of his shoulders and gently rocks back and forward.

"It's just a couple of hours." I soothe my anxious husband.

"I'm fine. I just missed them today." Elik rotates kisses between the babies. I smile. He is an incredible Daddy. The best.

"I miss you." I lean down and run my fingers through his hair, staring at him with anticipation.

"You're right. It's just a little while." Elik nods and continues loving on the kids.

I walk around cleaning up today's forgotten messes. I pick up the tiny pink sock that has once again fallen off Shane's little bitty foot. They never stay on.

"Just go get ready for a good time. We got the kids and clean up duty. Go!" Zayne pushes me lightly towards the stairs. I stand in my place and wait for Elik to grab my hand. Once he is in tow, I lead us towards our bedroom.

After finally getting my reluctant husband out of the house, we leave. I take Elik to a cozy little Italian restaurant. Although the majority of our date is spent talking about every move and noise the kids created, I enjoy the time between the two of us.

We wanted to watch a movie, however too many would end later than we intended. Instead, we walk along the beach just outside of our house. It's close but, still far enough that it feels like us time.

"Hey." Elik pulls me close. His hands cup my cheeks. I lean up and kiss him.

"Hi." I breathe out.

"I love you. Thank you for peeling me away from the house." Elik leans into me and kisses me with intense heat.

"I love you. I promised we wouldn't lose ourselves in all this. I'm just trying to keep that promise." I snuggle into his hold. The sun is long gone. The stars are our light now.

"This has been the most exciting journey of my entire life." Elik turns us. We can see the house in the distance.

"It's been a ride for sure." I chuckle. We have had a couple of ups and downs.

"But, I wouldn't trade it." I nod my head in agreement with Elik.

"Who would have thought we would be parents already?" Elik starts silently making our way back to the house. I don't comment and just follow along. I miss the kids already too.

"I learned just to live. No way to decipher what road you will end up on. Just live, love and be." We walk up the steps, my body following his. We peek into the nursery and see our sleeping babies.

I close the door behind us and anticipate the next few hours. This will lead to my favorite place, wrapped up in my husband's arms and being filled by him in every way possible.
