The next morning.

"Oh look who finally made it down for breakfast!" Margene said as Arvilla made her way down.

"Did the babies keep you up?" Carol asks.

"No.. No, they didn't." Arvilla smiles and looks down.

"What's that smile for?" Margene asks.

"Nothing!" Arvilla giggled.

"What happened last night, Arvilla?" Carol asks.

"I messaged Bobby."

"Bobby?  Who's Bobby?"

"Robert!  You know, the man I met in Argentina."

"Ohhh!  What did you say?"

"We messaged on myspace for a while, then he called me and we stayed up til three this morning on the phone."

"Woah!"

"Yeah, and I know what you're thinking, and no that isn't true!  Robert and I are friends.  It's nothing romantic at all!"

"I see.  Well I'm happy you made a new friend, Arvilla!"

"Thanks!" She giggles.

Halloween.

"Arvilla!  You look so cute in your costume!"

"Well thanks, Margene!  I thought it was kinda funny." Arvilla chuckles.

"It is!"

"Sister Brimm will probably ask me to put a longer shirt on!" She laughs.

"Well don't listen to her!  You look adorable!"

"Thank you!" Arvilla smiles. "I figure why not show this big belly off?  I'll only ever be pregnant once!  I might as well!" She shrugs while rubbing her bump.

"You're so right!  It's beautiful, might as well flaunt it!"

"Yep!"

"So are you ready to party?"

"Oh yeah!  I'm about to go crazy with these two party animals!" Arvilla holds her bump and laughs as she wiggles.

"You're too funny!"

"Thanks!  Oh gosh, feel them!  I told you they were crazy!" Arvilla grabs her hand and places it where the babies were kicking.

"Oh wow!  Are they fighting?" Margene chuckles.

"Feels like it!
.. OW!"

"What happened?"

"Heidi happened!  She is always hurting me!
  She's a wild woman!" Arvilla says making Margene laugh.

"It's true!  Joe moves a lot as well, but he's a little more gentle than his sister."

"Aw!  It's cool how they seem to have little personalities already."

"I know!  I'm so in for it with Heidi!  I think both will have Joe's personality.. God help me!" She laughs.  "But I don't know why something tells me little miss Heidi ho is going to be a challenge!"

"Awww!  But she'll be forgiven because she's just too cute!"

"Oh for sure!  These two are going to be so spoiled!  But how can I not spoil them?  I mean I'm already buying them every baby item I come across, and feeding them every treat I come across!" Arvilla laughs.

"Haha!  You're mommy of the year already!"

"Awww!  I think so too!" She giggles cutely.

Two weeks in Miami was amazing, but it is now time to head home.

"Well this has been a lovely trip! But I'm ready to go home!" Arvilla chuckles. "I'm ready to take a nice long rest!"

"You rest up and we'll get busy getting the babies room ready!" Emmett says.

"I really appreciate you all helping me with that." Arvilla says as she gets emotional.

"Aw honey, don't get upset!" Margene rubs her back.

"It's just sad.. You know, because Joe isn't here to do all these things for them.. For us. It's just sad."

"He's still doing so much for you three. He's making sure your babies are safe inside your tummy!" Carol smiles and rubs Arvilla's bump.

"I know he is.. it just hurts so much."

"Well of course! Aw you poor thing!" Carol hugs her.

"I'm always crying, I'm so sorry!" Arvilla chuckles through her tears.

"Do not apologize for that, Arvilla! You lost your husband just a few months ago, and you're pregnant with twins! You're allowed to cry, sweetie."

"Thank you..
  This trip has been amazing.  I'm so lucky to have friends like you all." Arvilla wipes her cheeks and smiles.

"Most people wouldn't want to take their weepy pregnant friend to Miami with them.. but you did!  I appreciate it."

"Of course we did!  We love you, Arvilla!" Margene says.

"We love the babies too, you can't forget about them." Emmett adds.

"Them too!  We love all three of you!"

"We love you toooo!  Stop making me cry, damn it!"

"Aw.. She needs a nap.  We'll get her on the plane, feed her a snack, and she;ll be out in minutes!"

"Oh gosh Margene, you're talking like I'm three!" Arvilla chuckles.

"Well.."

"Go to hell, Margene!" She says as they both start to laugh.

"That is not nice!  Babies, your mommy's mean!"

"Don't listen to aunt Margene, she's a lair!"

"Oh you just wait, they're gonna love me!  We're gonna be best friends!"

"Ohhh!" Arvilla pouts.

"Aw what now?"

"I'm picturing it and it's so cute!" She cries once again.

"Aw.. Let's get going so you can start your nap, honey."
