Stretch's Twins 2: Battle with Chaos

Part 5

In the following days, Stretch wasn't leaving the nursery much at all. He was just wanting his kids to get to know him again. He was trying to learn to become the father they needed him to be if he was going to keep them. Though he found he needed help. As much as he loved his kids, they were a little overwhelming to deal with sometimes.

Stinkie and Fatso were not allowed near them. They wanted to go haunting with Stretch, but he wasn't leaving his twins in fear of something happening to them. The two of them found they had to go scaring without their leader. If they weren't doing that, they were mostly eating or watching tv, or sleeping.

Stretch would let James or Casper help with them at times, mostly Casper. Kat offered help sometimes, but just because she was a girl didn't mean she knew everything about babies. James was often busy with his patients too, so it often found Casper helping Stretch. Casper would bring his Uncle Stretch his meals when he got hungry.

He just didn't want to leave his kids alone in fear of losing them if he did. He was also keeping a strong eye out for Chaos. He knew most likely that she would come back for the twins. She could be out there right now watching the house.

Stretch would find that he could only take care of one baby at a time. But when they were crying at the same time for food or changing, that was when he needed help. Maybe at some point he would let his brothers help him, but he just wouldn't let it happen right now. He didn't trust them.

Stretch had always been the leader of the trio and the patriarch of the family for a long time. And this was his burden and joy to bear.

Chaos and Tammie had returned to Maine as well. They found an empty house to stay in for the time being. Chaos' old house had been bought and fixed up since so that was out.

"So, where does this Stretch live?" Tammie asked her friend.

"At the castle mansion at the top of the hill way on the outside of Friendship." Chaos replied. "Whipstaff Manor."

Tammie looked and could see the house. "That place is huge. Sure looks good enough for even you to live there." She stated.

"Yes, but I won't live with fleshies. They have fleshies living in their house too." Chaos declared in disgust.

Tammie flinched at that. Her friend had a point. "Then Stretch shouldn't have those babies. You have been there for them every day for the past three years and he hasn't been. But do you think Stretch would be a good father?"

"His genes were all I needed from him. I also liked that I succeeded with having a male ghost carry my offspring than me carrying them." Chaos spoke smugly. "He's a strong leader for his brothers but he is often too childish. I did like his leadership qualities though. Men don't take caring for kids as seriously as women do."

"True." Tammie stated. "So, how do we get Stephen and Brenda back?"

"Leave that to me." Chaos said. "I will need you to stay here for when I get the twins back from him. You'll need to watch them for me."

"I'll be happy to. They're like my kids too." Tammie agreed.

Chaos definitely had somewhat of a plan forming to get back at Stretch for taking her kids from her. She would go to the Whipstaff house daily and watch for any possible openings to get at Stretch. She wanted him alone to implement her plan.

After his fourth day of welcoming home his twins, Stretch was finally worn out enough from caring for them that he finally felt like leaving the nursery. To him, his kids were now Shriek and Screech.
