Levi's POV

"Farlan, I need you to take care of the twins, please. I need to go to the bathroom." I scowled, getting to my feet. "I seriously need to go."

"Too much tea?" He jokes, turning away from his work and peering into the playpen. "Well, you should have time before they start whining for you. You know the whole place hates it when one of them cries-"

"It's not my fault-" I grumbled, quickly making my way to bathroom.

The fact Hanji's been staying home with our twins, it's been eating at me hour after hour. I tried to take time off as much as I can. I couldn't take that much time off anymore... and I had to work. I wanted to help switch on and off the responsibility for the twins so... I offered to take the twins to work. I did get permission from my boss- it's just a little annoyance that the whole station needed to hear my twins' cries.

*   *   *

Finishing up my work before my lunch break, I turned to see Zane rocking his body from side to side. His gray eyes of his wide and he began to coo. Chubby hands grabbing his feet and attempting to stuff them into his mouth.

"What are you even trying to do?" I asked him, shaking my head. I went back to typing down the rest of my reports. "You guys are crazy."

On one hand, Zane was the one whose been fussy. Crying if I ever went out of his sight. Raven was completely the opposite- still the same with the crying part if I walked away or something. Something about jealousy is completely popular with the twins. If I'm trying to feed Zane, Raven would give me that disappointed look. When I'm trying to feed Raven... well, Zane starts to scream.

I wonder if this is normal for all families with twins...

Thankfully, Zane was completely fine by being held by Isabel to be fed as I fed Raven. For Farlan... things will take a turn. It's funny... and cute. If only Hanji was by my side here. Maybe it wouldn't be bad for her to work with me here. Yet I remember... she wanted to be some sort of a scientist...

"Are they okay?" I can hear Hanji's sleepy voice through the phone. Raven was leaning in my arms, wide awake. "I... I should get them back and-"

"Hanji, go back to sleep. I got the twins. I'll be home in a few hours. Now, now, I know you want the twins... but it's not safe for you to get up and drive. You hear me, Hanji? Just stay there. I'll be there soon. Unless, do you want me to get you ice cream?"

"Please..."

"Hanji, your thing is really hitting you hard, huh?"

"It's painful, Levi... I need you here."

"I'll be home as soon as I can," I smiled, kissing Raven's forehead. "Just wait for me, okay? I can make it home at like 3 hours. I promise, okay? When I get to you, I'll drop the twins off, and I'll go and get you that ice cream, okay? I promise..."

Behind this phone, I could picture her happy face... smiling softly. Her curling her hair with her slender fingers like a little teenager. "Alright then... you better have mean it..."

"If I'm not true to my word, you have every right to punish me. I can't say no to it. I mean it- no limits. Well... you can't take away our twins from me. That's the only rule I'll keep, okay?"

"I would never!" Hanji responds, giggling and laughing. "I'll figure out a punishment for you if you're ever late, okay? By the time you're back to me, late or not, I will present you a long list of punishments I have planned out for you. My creative mind can never hold me down... please wish the twins my love."

"Like the twins would ever hate you."
