A/N: A LITTLE SHORT MAYBE, BUT OH SO SWEET! HOPE YOU ENJOY!
I am still holding my son & daughter in my arms, Tommy looking on with a loving smile. I just can't get over it, they are here! Erica has a little pink hat on her head, is swaddled in a pink blanket and has little mittens on her hands to keep her from scratching her little face. Patrick is similarly adorned, but in blue.
"Oh Tommy! I just...I just...I mean, their here! And they are SO beautiful." Patrick and Erica are making little cooing noises and I swear they are smiling at me. "You two are just the most perfect little angels!" I gush at my children. Tommy chuckles.
"They are little angels, our little angels.", Here I hand our children carefully back to my husband and kiss him on his lips once more. "Hmm, ya know I am surprised that the guys haven't yet barged their way in here yet. But our oldest daughter gets first holding rights." Amusement lacing his tone.
"I agree Tommy, I agree---", Before I say anything else as if on cue the guys all start filing in. Thankfully the room is big, and by some miracle there are enough chairs. Harley approaches Tommy & I and her eyes get big & she exclaims...
"Wow! They are so tiny! Super cute!! What their names?"
I ruffle her hair fondly and hug her, Tommy answers her, "Sweetheart meet your sister Erica Grace & your brother Patrick John." He smiles fondly at her." You'll have to be super careful, but do you want to hold them? One at a time would be best I think." Tommy says looking to me at the last part. Harley nods eagerly, and carefully I take Patrick and put him in Harley's arms (she is sitting down of course) and help her support his head.
"Hey there little brother! My name Harley! I your big sister. I protect you, always. Love you!" I hear sniffling from the guys and Tommy is openly weeping, God that was precious! I take Patrick carefully from her, but not before she kisses him on his little forehead, and I hand him back to my husband and take Erica from him and I watch as he rocks our son gently. Harley is just as enamored with her sister, kissing her little forehead and all. At last, I hand them back to Tommy secure in his arms. They start getting fussy and are turning red....
"Eric, I think they are hungry...Could you...", I know exactly what he means and immediately get some ready-made bottles of formula ready and help my husband feed and burp our children.... Once done they settle back down, and we hear....
"Yo! Can we hold our niece and nephew now?!" Peter exclaims impatiently. Collective laughter sounds.
"Sure Pete!", Tommy grins widely. I carefully take our son and daughter from my husband and carefully hand Patrick to Fox and Erica to Peter. Tommy & I watch on with pride and watch them like hawks. I mean hey parents to new-born's here.
"Aw Pete...baby look! Patrick looks like a mini-Tommy! So, freaking adorable!" Fox practically squeals in excitement.
"Yep, pretty freaking adorable babe...Erica looks like them both.... they will be little heart-breakers!" Peter exclaims gently rocking Erica. Then after a few minutes they switch off and after that they are passed around to Gene & Paul, Ace & Bruce etc. Everyone is in awe of our perfect new-born's! At long last, Erica and Patrick are back in mine and my husband's arms.
I kiss Tommy lovingly on the lips and stroke our babies fore-heads gently, "Tommy like I said I am so very proud of you! You did this for us...brought these two precious little angels into this world. You're already an amazing mother to our Harley and you are an amazing mother to our little Patrick and Erica! I just love you so very much Tommy!"
"Aw, Kitty! I'd do anything for you. And I love you and our family so very much! Oh Eric, look! Their asleep!", Tommy exclaims softly.
"They are indeed asleep.", I whisper. Erica and Patrick nestled in my husband's arms are sleeping away, secure and content listening to the beat of their mother's amazing heart. Afterwhile they are taken back to the nursery and to be given baths at some point. All the guys are still here. Harley is sitting in my lap, drawing away as usual. Paul notices and catches my eyes....
"A chip off the block! Just like her Uncle Paul!"
"Yeah, she's really good at it. She loves art.... she's always drawing or painting and reading too." I speak.
"Uncle Paul, I love art stuff! Momma and Daddy both have said you good artist!", Harley pipes in enthusiastically. Paul chuckles and smiles at her...
"That's good sweetheart you love art stuff, and they did huh? Well, they're not wrong!"
I roll my eyes at him, but playfully. More laughter sounds. There is so much love in this room, I wouldn't trade it for anything in this world. I have an amazing & handsome husband, so damn beautiful. Also, I have three amazing children. I wouldn't trade my life for anything, because this right here is EVERYTHING.
After a while, everyone leaves and heads home. Harley included (she is staying with Paul & Gene, but before she leaves, she hugs me & hugs Tommy carefully and tells us she loves us and then is gone.
I can't wait to see all of our children grow-up and thrive and I look forward to bringing home my new-born son & daughter, soon.
