Chapter 48

Laurie walks into Melody's new bedroom with an arm full of little girl clothes. Look at what I found at the store today they were so cute I had to get them." She is holding up yellow dresses with daisies all over them.

"Mom, I am so glad you want to get stuff for the pups but enough is enough." Ever since they had an ultrasound last week and it said they were having twin girls; Laurie has been buying clothes for them.

That night at dinner the same old argument started again, everyone has a name picked out. "I am their father; they should be called Antonia and Alexandria."

"I'm mom and I say no."

Laurie adds her two cents in. "Calling them Laurie would be nice. I am grandmom."

"That works you can call the other one Francis after me." Frank likes teasing the others.

Cameron calmly said a heartfelt name. "It would be nice to name one after Anthony's mom, Sarah."

Even Charley added a name to the list. "Hope would be a good name." Melody was touched by the name. Knowing it was her Papa Charley's wife's name.

"I'm leaning toward Phoebe and Grace." We will know for sure what to call them after we see their littles faces." Everyone else in the room frowned.

"You're carrying them, you name them." Anthony ended the fussing.

That night while cuddled in bed Melody ran here hand over Anthony's chest. "Baby, we haven't even started the nursery yet. With the twins it was done by now."

"Dad is taking over for me, so we will start it first thing in the morning." Anthony wasn't lying, there were eight people in the room getting it ready in the morning, it was done by that night. "You want to see what it looks like?"

"Can you help me up the stairs?" Anthony picked her up and carried her to the new nursery. The room was rose teal and had little woodland animals all over it. The cribs were violet with clouds on them. "This room is perfect for out little girls."

"I even got you another comfortable rocking chair. You used the other one so much."

"I love the swan rockers they are so different."

"I can't take credit for them your Papa Charley found them, he also picked out the color for the room, he said you liked the color. You are the best Anthony."

"What about me I helped?"

"You too Papa Charley. "I love the swans."

"You should see what else is coming in the next few days."

The next morning Melody was getting restless. 'I am sick of being in the house, like it or not I am going to waddle my fat butt over to mom's.'

'Anthony is going to get mad at you.' Harmony warned her.

'He will have to get glad again.'

'Okay, take your time, I don't want you to fall.'

'Harmony, you are starting to sound like Anthony, I am not clumsy. Mom is only across the street.'

'You have to get passed Papa Charley first.'

'Can't you think of something.'

'This is your great idea. Peek to see if he is out there.'

'Coast is clear, lets hurry.'

"Where are you going young lady?"

"I wanted a drink, so I got up to get it."
