If Only You Knew

Welcome

D'arrica's POV

"Can you tell them apart?" I questioned Lee looking down at the precious baby in my arms.

She nodded looking up from her task. She was feeding one twin while I held the other who had already eaten and been burped.

"That's LJ, this is Legend." She clarified. "Legend has one dimple and it's deeper than LJ's."

"They're so cute!" Aniyah gushed as she continued to take pictures of the two newborns while we all crowded around the room. "Your genes should've fought back though, girl, for real."

I had to laugh at the truth in her joke. The twins had a striking resemblance to their dad. All I could see of Lee was her lips. Hopefully, more of her features popped up as they grew because right now it didn't look like she popped them out at all.

"Ion play." Twin boasted as he flexed making Zay laugh and give him dap.

"Awe hell, it's gone be two more of him running around?" Aniyah dropped her head dramatically as she pretended to pray.

"No, they're gone be just like their mama." Lee cooed as she gently pecked her son on his tiny forehead.

"Yea, Ight." I heard Twin whisper to Zay. They both giggled like little schoolgirls before Zay came over and slicky stole Junior from my hand.

"No, Zay, take Legend. He still has to eat, and put some hand sanitizer on!"

Zay placed the baby back down in my arms as Lee removed the small white baby blanket from her chest and slowly handed the baby to Twin. Once Zay got the hand sanitizer on, he took the small infant from him smiling as we listened to his small coos. Lee covered her chest again and began to feed as we all crowded around Zay.

Legend was such a cutie. He was a little bit smaller than his brother but he looked healthy nonetheless. He made little noises as he slowly opened his hand. He couldn't decide if he wanted to open his eyes or not but every time he flashed them they shined. They were a pretty dark grey color.

"Wassup, lil man? It's yo god pops, Zayo. Just know if you a lame we gone whoop yo ass." He joked.

His smile dropped once Aniyah smacked the back of his head. He hissed as he looked down at her. "Damn, don't you see me holding this baby?"

"Watch how you speak on my nephew, nigga." She warned as she pointed her finger in his face.

He pretended to try and bite it making her pull away and giggle. I always loved seeing the two interact and be all in love. I wasn't surprised in the slightest bit when they started dating because you'd be a dummy to not see the looks they'd give each other. I'd even argue that Aniyah had a bigger crush on Zay back then than Lee did on Twin, she was just better at hiding it.

"Ughh, c'mon!" Lee groaned making us all turn to see her looking down, teary-eyed at her baby as he ate under the blanket.

"What's wrong?" Twin was immediately at her side, I smiled remembering how Landin never left my side in the hospital either.

I couldn't breathe wrong without him worrying making sure I was safe. It was almost annoying but I knew he was just trying to do right by me.

"He won't latch." Her voice croaked.

"Aye, can y'all give us a second?" He looked around the room.

Zay put Legend back in his bassinet next to the bed and patted Lee before he and Aniyah walked out.

"Did they tell you about massaging his cheeks?" I questioned trying to help.

"Yes." She blurted with frustration. "He still won't stay on my nipple."
