I am at home now and off work. I am almost four months pregnant and love spending time at home with my daughter  and husband. Every day after Ember is up and ready she is always by my side. I sit and watch TV on the couch and she is laying down with her head and hand on my stomach and talk to the babies,that's right; twins. She would also kiss my stomach, it is so sweet and cute.
It is just me and Em here. Johnny went out to a movie with Dally and Pony. Maggie and Stormy have grown a lot and are really protective of us. It's lunch time and I'm hungry so I sit Ember up and make my way into ghe ktchen. 
"Babygirl, do you want a grilled chesse" I called out.
She makes a sound that I know means she wants one. So I make four sandwiches, one for her and three for me. I put apple juice in her sippy cup and I get a bottle of Pepsi out of the fridge and set them on the table. Once I finish the grilled cheese I plate them and cut them diagonally to make them into triangles. I place the two plates onto the table  and then head to the living room to get Ember.
"Ready to eat Princess?" I ask her as I pick her up. Sh nods her head really fast and I giggle at her. I set her down in her chair with a booster seat and then we begin eating. 
"After we are done eating do you want to go over and see Uncle Darry and Soda?" I ask her. She nods and sips her juice.
Once we are done eating I clean the crumbs off Ember's face and the table. I gather some toys and put a few extra clothes in a bag along with her blabket and stuffed giraffe. I shut the TV off and put Em on the floor, grabbing her hand and walk out the door grabbing my purse and keys. 
I walk slow to make sure my daughter doesn't fall, she hasn't been walking for too long. When we get to Darry's porch I open the door with my free hand and we walked in. We barely made it in the door before Soda picked Ember up.
"There's my beautiful neice. And amazing big sister." he said giving me a kiss on the head beore kissing Ember all over the face causing her to giggle a lot.
Her giggling caused a smile to fall on mine and my brothers' faces. I know what we are all thinking, she is too innocent for this world and the twins. 
"How are you and the twins doing?" Darry asks getting out of his chair and hugging me. Once we pulled away he kisses my head. 
"Hungry all the time, starting to get tired easily, and my my feet are sore" I tell him. 
I place the bag down on the floor by the door and then head to the bathroom. When I get out I head over to Darry in his chair and on his lap. I rest my head on his shoulder and drift off to sleep.
Soda's P.O.V.
I look up from watching Ember on my lap to see my sister asleep with Darry.
"You want to play?" I ask my niece, who nods in reply.
"Okay, we have to be quiet mommy's sleeping okay" I tell her quietly.
I set her on the floor and make sure there is no cancer sticks and beer bottles laying around. When I see that it is clean, I go and grab Ember"s bag and sit on the floor in front of her and set the toys down. We play for a while before I take her into the bathroom and change her pull up. When I am done and washed my hands and hers I grab her sippy and head to the kitchen. 
I put water in her sippy cup and grab a banana. I look down at my niece and ask if she wants the banana.
"Nana!" she says excitedly.
I chuckle a bit and sush her. I go back into the living room where the toys are on the floor and sat down on floor pitting Em on my lap. I peel the banana open and break a small piece for her and hand it to her. I watch her eat it ro make aure she doesn't choke. I keep doing that until the banana is gone. 
"Stay here. I am going to theow this away and cone back okay" I tell her. I know that Darry can see her from where he is sitting, so I'm not too worried. 
After a while she gets bored of playing so I pick the toys up and put them back in her bag. I put it back by the door before picking her up and go sit on the couch. It didn't take long before I feel her breathing slow and even out, meaning she fell asleep on my chest. 
Steve and Two-Bit arrived about half an hour after Ember fell asleep. Darry and I both sushed them when they walked in. The phone soon rang and Steve answered it. He said it was Pony and then he told Pony that the girls are here so he can tell Johnny. 10 minutes later the boys got here and chatted quietly while the two girls sleep.  
Ro woke up just before Pony started dinner. I get up to help my younger brother in the kitchen. I slowly stand up trying to not wake up my niece. When I am up on my feet I hand Johnny his daughter. She stirs and whimpers a little but once she is on Johnny's chest she relaxes into him as he runs her back.
