My hand pops the back of Jordan's neck and he quickly gets up wiping the drool from his mouth. Currently we're in our home economics class and our teacher is explaining our project we will be doing the next few weeks. Lowkey I'm dreading this shit because I just know it's going to wake us up in the middle of the night.

So our latest project will be taking care of an electronic baby. Along with that we have to come up with a birth plan, a registry, and design a nursery, and make a spreadsheet of all the expenses for a baby. Jordan is very excited about this project and which is good for him because he will be taking the night shift. As our teacher was going through the PowerPoint with instructions Jordan's hand caresses my thigh as his focus was on the board. Our cabin get away was really good and has definitely brought us closer.

"Alright class since I went through the instructions you are free to pick your-"

Before Mrs. Alexander could finish her sentences girls in the class start swarming over Jordan asking to be his partner.

"I pick Nova to be my partner."

"Ok guys once you pick your partners come up to my desk so I can assign your baby and gender. Just a fyi by randomization one partner group will have multiples."

"I hope that's not us", I groan.

"Why not it'll be fun."

"Jordan be so for real right now", I laugh.

I honestly can't wait for us to have kids in the future. I know my man is going to be an amazing dad and our kids will adore him. We walk up to Mrs. Alexander's desk and she smiles at us because spinning her wheel to see how many babies we get. She has triplets on there and I'm praying that it doesn't land on there. I watch as the wheel lands on twins and Jordan starts jumping up like a maniac.

"Congratulations you two you guys are having twins! Alright onto the gender."

We wait a few seconds and Jordan starts cheering again.

"And they're both boys! Follow me into the supply closet and we will get everything you need. Just now whenever you run of diapers, wipes, baby food just come into this supply closet during your class period and get what you need."

"Baby food?"

"Yes the school upgraded to more advanced robotic babies so they cry, pee, poop, baby food, and drink milk. It's not the actual thing just think of them as more advanced baby alives."

I nod my head understanding the analogy she was making. Jordan helps her pull down two car seat and all of the other supplies we need such as clothes. She hands us two caramel babies and I awe at how cute they look. I understand they're dolls but still just imagine.

"Congratulations you guys."

"Mrs. Alexander I remember you saying something about a relationship status, what's ours?"

"I was going to give them to everyone once they got their supplies and babies. Just so I can look at everyone at decided. Since I let y'all pick your partner this year it's random I don't have an actual plan."

"Yes ma'am."

I'm currently waiting for Jordan to get out of the locker room as I wait by two car seat. We decided on the names Jayden and Jaxson and we are a happily married couple who's husband works and me, the wife, stays at home taking care of the kids. Around the midpoint of the project we'll meet with Mr. Alexander and do a mock couple therapy session with her. I'm excited for this project now that there's more aspect other than taking care of a baby.

"You ready to go home?"

I look up to see Jordan freshly showered with a second pair of clothes he has in his locker. I nod my head yes picking up one of the car seats as he picks up the other. During lunch we went out to his car and installed the base of the car seats so we can just leave by the time his practice was over. We told our parents about the project and Jordan and I will be bouncing between each house weekly. This project is what we will be working on for the next six to eight weeks. So far the babies haven't cried or anything so that's good. I have been feeding and changing them based on the schedule Mrs. Alexander gave us.

"Look at us being parents", he smiles.

"Jordan stop I know that look on your face."

"Have you had your birth control appointment yet?"

"It's tomorrow."

I finally told my mom I'm not a virgin anymore. The talk was pretty hard because she started crying in the middle of it. She was hoping that I would wait till marriage, but girl who is doing especially with my boyfriend looking the way he does. I think she was crying at the fact that I'm growing up and I'm not the little girl who wore pigtails everyday.

"Does she hate me", he whispers.

My face frowns.

"Of course not baby. You know she loves and takes care of you like you're her own."

"I told my dad and he wasn't mad. I was more so coming to him about advice", he expressed.

Once he finishes putting the car seats in there I wrap my arms around his torso to embrace him with so much love.

"I love you", I smile.

"I love you too. Now let get home so we can take care of our kids."

My parents came over to have dinner and it went how it normally does. The babies did cry during dinner and Jordan almost had a panic attack because it scared him. All I had to do was make a bottle and they were both good. Right now they're "sleeping" and I'm getting ready for bed so I can go to sleep too. Today was lowkey a lot especially with this new project we have to bring with us everywhere.

Jordan asked my mom could he tag along my doctors appointment and she said he is always welcomed to join us no matter what the quest is.

I have a good idea of which birth control method I wasn't to use because the other ones just scare me too much. As soon as I finish tying the scarf on my head, I walk into the bedroom to see Jordan playing videos games with Jayden on his chest. Jaxson was in the car seat since we don't have beds for them.

"You know this parenting shit actually pretty cool."

"You say that now", I giggle pulling back the covers on my side.

"I think you're going to be an amazing mom."

"You think so?"

"I know so you already take care of me."

I grip his chin and connect our lips and I suck on his bottom lip for a few seconds.

"Girl you almost made me drop my draws."

I roll my eyes at his antics before getting comfortable in the bed.

"Goodnight I love you."

"Goodnight I love you too."

As soon as we closed our eyes one of the twins starts crying. I playfully tap Jordan's chest as he groans.

"I think your son wants you", I giggle.

Eventually I'm going to have to help him during the night shift but this will expose how we are as parents.
