Skylar coming to see her brother and sister...God, I'll never forget that...never and I know my Tom, my pom-pom wont either, it means so very much to both of us. Back to the admiring of Ashton and Vanessa currently in progress.
"I'd say that our children got the best of both of us. I can't believe that not so long ago I wouldn't have said that, but Tom thanks to you I believe that." I murmur, quietly stroking each little baby's head.
"That spark I gave you on the night we met..." Tom begins. "Ended up igniting into a flame for both of us." Tom says reverently eyeing me with tears in his eyes and I feel them springing to mine.
"It did pom-pom, it did....and it led us here, where I love being more than anywhere in the world, even on stage. Yeah, I love the music, always will...but you and our children come first. It's just how I see it." I state softly, crying.
"And god do I love that about you." Tom says before adding this making my heart race with anticipation. "Hold our children Vinny."
"Tom...are you...sure? I mean...I want too...but they are SO small." I whisper wanting too yet unsure.
"You won't hurt them; I believe in you. "His words make my lingering doubts go away and I with his help hold my two newborn children securely in my arms, feeling overwhelmed but in a good way.
"Ashton.... Vanessa...It's been a while...a long while since I've held a baby in my arms. Now I am holding two, its mind blowing.... a good mind-blowing experience. More than that, it's BEAUTIFUL. Son, you look like me and your mother...and you my girl, Nessa.... look just like your mother's STUNNING mini-me. Gonna have to fight off the boys and girls for sure. Daddy can't tell you...I can't tell you how very much I love you...I've loved you from the moment I knew mommy was pregnant with you and I will never stop. Mommy...has given me so much: hope, love, unconditional love and support, something to fight for....to live for and now he's given me the two of you." Tears stream down my face and I share a look with my husband who is in much the same state. No words are needed in this moment...
I hold my precious twins for a while, admiring their little profiles, before carefully handing them both back to Tom, getting them settled and secured. Which doesn't last long as they begin to wail....
"Vinny?!" Tom panics.
"Babe, I think our children are hungry already...wow, guess they are taking after me!" I laugh and cry both which reassures Tom. "Let's try seeing if they'll feed from you.... it's worth a shot." Carefully, oh so carefully I help Tom support Ashton and Vanessa whom to our surprise and shock latch on to Tom and begin suckling greedily.
"Oh my god...oh my god.... I can't believe this! It's...wow." Tom says very much stunned, but too I hear the love in his voice, making me melt.
"I know babe, I know, it's a beautiful thing.... the connection I'd imagine you feel to them...it's like you said 'wow'." Ashton and Vanessa continue to feed and at last are full and burped and settle against Tom's chest and begin to drift off to the sound of my husband's beautiful heart. Funnily enough, knocks sound on the door and it opens to reveal: Nikki and Jeff with their baby daughter Josie, Mick, Alice, and their children, as well as Tommy Lee and Steven Adler so everyone in other words.
"Tom just fed them and got them to sleep." I say quietly as everyone gets seated, depositing their flowers and baby gifts around the room.
"Funny Josie just fell asleep." Nikki smirks slightly, but the look in his eyes is fond. God, love and family has truly changed him for the better. I no longer fear losing him...or losing anyone I care about.
"Takes after her mother, refusing to get out of bed.... must have naps..." Jeff quips playfully, before sharing a kiss with Nikki.
"Jeffy...need I remind you...you're in bed with me?" Nikki says sweetly in the same tone. Prompting laughter, but quiet so as not to wake the sleeping babies.
"So, dudes...while we're here...." Tommy begins before I cut him off.
"Lemme guess..." I Drawl..." Steven's pregnant.?" His jaw drops and Steven snickers quietly.
"How'd you freakin know?"
"Tommy.... just a good, educated guess....and...hmm...are those rings I spy on your and the...well, well...the hubs' fingers?" Oh, I am ENJOYING this immensely. My husband is too, he and I are both highly amused at Tommy's facial expressions.
"Damnit...Vince." Tommy mutters, but Steven squeezes his hands, and they smile at one another like no one else exists. Tommy's expression gets more serious, but he is truly in love with Steven, a blind man could see that. "I for the first time....am in love.... like truly. I FEEL it....and I never wanted to be without him...so we got married and now we're having a baby."
"Congratulations to you both." Tom says, "Now...meet our precious little angels here." And with that and warnings not to wake Ashton and Vanessa, the twins soon make their rounds around the room, nothing but 'awe's and just so much love in the room. I wrap my arms around Tom carefully, unwilling to let go watching our children protectively.
Tommy is barely restraining himself from squealing with glee, he's a big kid himself so he's good with ours and Steven cries holding them from the sheer happiness as he tells us. At last, the twins make their rounds to Mick and Alice and their daughters: Tamara and Luna.
Mick smirks slightly eyeing me, and I know exactly why before turning his attention to the two new born's in his arms...
"So...twins just like me. Funny how the terror twins haven't had twins. But I have to say Tom and Vince made beautiful babies."
"They did my dark angel just like we did." Alice speaks softly to Mick. Mick holds them both before it's Alice's turn and so on, pictures are taken...I mean NATURALLY Nikki has a camera and is snapping away while Jeff holds Josie, murmuring sweetly to her. Then comes Luna and Tamara...Luna holds Ashton and Tamara holds Vanessa, their parents of course helping them.
"Mommy.... they are so small." Luna says looking down at Ashton.
"They are, but they haven't had chance to grow like you and your sister, but they will." Mick tells them, both little girls nod.
"They pweety!" Tamara fairly beams, and I can't help but find it cute.
The girls hold the babies for awhile and at last they make their way back into mine and Tom's arms, Tom holds our son and I hold our daughter.
"Ya know something Tom?"
"What Vinny?" Tom's tone curious.
"I love you. I love our children, all of them and our family." Once more tears fall, our twins are still contentedly asleep.
"I love you all too Vinny. I wouldn't trade this for anything." Tom's eyes are a light translucent grey, taking my breath away as gently I lean in and kiss him, before then kissing my children on each of their foreheads.
Sometimes I feel that I still must pinch myself, I mean just look at where I am now...it's as if I've lived several lifetimes...and if that's the case, well I'd have to say this is one of my favorites. Thanks to Tom, it's all thanks to Tom...for giving me hope, giving me love, acceptance...and children, these precious, precious children in his arms.
A/N: The Family met the twins and some surprising news as well. Stay tuned for more!
