The First Day

Bree slept till ten in the morning, she was awoken by the crying of Scarlet.  She sat up and saw that Conner had fallen asleep with both of them in his arms.  Bree took Scarlet and tried to calm her down.  Meanwhile Conner and Sophie were fast asleep.  Sophie looked like she was smiling a little bit and she was all cuddled up next to Conner.  Bree smiled, and kept on rocking Scarlet. She fed Scarlet, and after she did that, Conner and Sophie woke up.

"Morning sleepy heads." Bree said.

"I thought you'd wake up after me." Conner said.

"Well, that obviously didn't happen. You must have been in a deep sleep, because Scarlet was crying and you didn't hear it, and neither did Sophie." Bree said.

"Oh, oops." Conner said. Bree smiled and rolled her eyes.

"Well, at least we got some sleep." Conner said. Sophie cuddled next to Conner and the two new parents smiled. "I can't believe we are finally parents of two girls."

"I know. I'm so happy." Bree said and looked down at Scarlet who was fast asleep again. There was then a knock on the door. "That must be Red with the cribs."

Conner went downstairs and opened the door. Red was there with two men behind her holding the cribs.

"Delivery. Awe, which one is this?" Red asked.

"This is Sophie." Conner said. "Can you hold her, while I help these men bring in the cribs?"

"Sure!" Red said and carefully got Sophie from Conners arms. Sophie then started to cry and reach for Conner. "I think she wants you."

"Just rock her. She'll stop." Conner said and help the men bring each crib upstairs. After that was done, Red was in the room with Bree talking to her.

"How many hours did you get of sleep?" Red asked.

"Well, I'm guessing at least nine maybe eight hours." Bree said. "You all left at two in the morning, and that's when we fell asleep."

"And they slept for that long!" Red said astonished. Bree nodded and smiled. "Wow, Ruby was not like that at all!"

"I guess I got lucky." Bree said.

"Hey, wanna come see the Nursery?" Conner said coming in.

"Sure." Red said and handed Sophie back to Conner. Conner helped Bree out of bed and they walked over to the nursery. It was filled with sparkling silver stars and they had someone come in and paint little cartoon fairies, wearing different color dresses and outfits on the walls. The cribs were blue and purple and had Scarlet's name on the top of one and Sophie's on the other. There was also a changing table against the wall, and a rocking chair in the corner.

"We made a good choice with the room." Bree said.

"We did." Conner said. They walked over to each of the cribs and put the twins inside them. Scarlet was still sleeping, but on the other hand Sophie was wide awake and didn't want to go in. "Looks like someone doesn't want to go to sleep."

"Well, she did sleep all night. Let's take her downstairs." Bree said. She closed the curtains and they all quietly walked out and went downstairs.

"Well, I better get back. Bye guys!" Red said and left.

"So how does breakfast sound?" Conner said.

"Amazing." Bree said. Conner handed Sophie over to Bree and she started to cry. "What's wrong sweetie?"

"She did that with Red too." Conner said.

"Oh great. Does that mean she only likes you." Bree said.

"Don't worry, she loves you too. She's probably just hungry."

"I'll go upstairs and feed her then. I'll be right back." Bree went upstairs and Conner started to cook breakfast.  A few hours later, Scarlet woke up and Bree put some little dresses on them and brought them both downstairs and put them in their little high chairs.  Alex soon walked in and startled them both.

"You know you can knock right."  Conner said.

"You gave me a key."  Alex said and held up her key.

"Hi, Alex, come on in."  Bree said.

"Oh yeah, I brought some people."  Alex said.  Charlotte and Bob walked in.

"Mom!  Bob!"  Conner said and hugged them.  "I'm glad your here."

"I came to see my new granddaughters."  Charlotte said.

"Hi guys!"  Bree said and hugged them.

"Oh their so precious."  Charlotte said.  "What are their names?"

"Scarlet and Sophie.  It's easy to tell them apart, because Scarlet has blonde hair, and Sophie has brown hair.  But other than that their completely identical."  Conner said.  Charlotte picked up Sophie and again she started to cry.

"Don't worry it's nothing you did, she only likes Conner."  Bree said.

"Oh, Alex was the exact same way.  She would only want daddy."  Charlotte said and handed Sophie to Conner, and she immediately stopped crying.  "See."

"Does that mean Sophie will turn out like Alex?"  Conner said.

"And what's wrong with that?"  Alex asked.

"Well, your kind of uptight, and a bit of a nerd."  Conner said.  Alex gasped offended.

"No it's doesn't mean that, it just means that she's a daddy's girl."  Charlotte said.  Bob picked up Scarlet and she didn't cry at all.

"See Scarlet is like you.  You didn't cry no matter who was holding you."  Charlotte said.  "Wait I thought you weren't due for another two months?"

Conner, Bree and Alex all looked at one another wondering with they should tell them about the horrible thing they learned the day before.

"We got the dates wrong." Conner said. "Yeah we were going to tell you the right date, which was yesterday but we forgot."

"Oh, well as long as their healthy. But I would have liked to have been here." Charlotte said.

"Yeah we're sorry mom. It just happened so fast, we didn't have anytime to think." Conner said.

"Your forgiven Conner." Charlotte said and tickled little Scarlet

"How about this, you can stay here for a few days." Bree suggested.

"Really! Oh I would love that." Charlotte said.

"I'll go and get Brooke and get some of our things." Bob said and handed Scarlet over to Charlotte.

"Come on I'll help you." Alex said.

Killian sat on the chair in the potion room while Holly looked through her book.

"I don't know why you made me do that?"  Killian said. "We could have waited another two months."

"I was done waiting. Your mother is getting weaker by the day....We need to come out now."  She said.  "We've got to scare them."

"Why are people after you?" Killian finally asked. Holly sighed and turned around.

"Me and my brother were best friends. Apparently people weren't happy about that. I thought my mother would be happy I was spending time with my brother but she didn't like that we were doing bad as she would call it. So this was when we were pretty pretty young, and I ran away. I fended for myself here in these woods, I taught myself magic, and when I got older I made this house." Holly said. "Did I miss my family. Definitely not. Did I like being alone for all my life. Yes, yes I did. No one was telling me what to do, and no rules. It made me tough. Made me who I am today."

"Same with me. Except for the brother part, for all I know I'm an only child. My mom abandoned me when I was just a baby. Same as you, I fended for myself."

"We're similar." Holly said. "Never met anyone with a similar story to mine. Don't bail on me now."

"I won't, we're in to deep." Killian said. Holly smiled at Killian. "Wow, was that a smile?"

"No." Holly said and went back to her book.

"No that definitely was."

"Stop, just go." Holly said. "I have work to do. Tomorrow is the twins introduction to the world, we have to be ready."
