[SEVENTY]

(Time Skip Friday Morning.)

Elena Shaw's (POV)

I just woke feeling more rested, the last few months and weeks have been hell but also so wonderful. I left Lola sleeping, she, Piper, and I fell asleep in their room watching movies last night after putting the girls to sleep after such a long and wonderful day. I am making my way down the hall to check on the girls before going to the kitchen for a drink. And I am almost to the nursery door when I hear the floorboards creak but not from my steps. Tensing up I shiver ready to panic when I hear a smooth calm voice saying, "Don't scream darling it's just me." Relaxing my shoulders I slowly turn to Piper sighing out, "Mama you almost gave me a heart attack." She chuckles lightly and finishes walking to me, she wraps her arms around me hugging me. Wrapping my arms around her I sigh snuggling into her as she lightly scratches my back. Smiling I snuggle more into her, and she chuckles lightly and kisses my head.

I can't help but hug her a little tighter myself, she and Lola both give the best hugs, I also feel slightly bad for not being as close to her as I have been with Lola. It makes me feel like I am taking sides and well, guilty. Though I know they both understand and are ok with how I am with either of them. I feel her kiss my head again and ask, "How was your sleep darling?" I just giggle lightly saying, "Wonderful I feel well rested." She chuckles at this saying, "That is good to hear baby." Blushing I just nod against her shoulder asking, "How long you been up?" She hums saying, "Just thirty minutes, well forty now but yeah." Chuckling I pat her back and she hugs me a little tighter, kisses my head again, and says, "Let's check on our girls and go get something to drink. Then I'll start on breakfast?" I just nod and we separate. She kisses my forehead making me blush again and chuckles taking my hand and leading me into the nursery and over to the crib.

The moment we look in the crib we both coo, look at one another, and then back at our girls and lightly giggle at their state. Both girls are sleeping in opposite directions on their stomachs with their booties in the air while sucking their paci's like some kind of planned sleep arrangement. Piper and I look at one another again and we giggle when she whispers, "I'll be quick I'm going to get my camera." Nodding I watch her sprint out of the room making me giggle again and cover my mouth not to wake our babies." Esme told me through our conversation about her past that she had never had a true friend until she became homeless. And for her to find a friend who is little and understands her trauma is such a blessing. Both Chloe and her have been through hell and back and I am glad they now have one another.

Having a best friend that is so close they are your sister as well, is one of the best feelings next to finding the love of your life. I jump a little when Piper comes up next to me, she snickers and winks before taking several angles of the girls sleeping in their cute state. I just shake my head at her artistic and goofy self, she sticks her tongue out at me once finished and shows me a few of the photos making me coo and smile along with gasping at how clear and beautiful they each are. Piper smiles saying, "I'll meet you in the kitchen love I'm going to put this up for now." I just nod and we each kiss our girls on their heads, we go separate ways and the moment I am in the kitchen I go to the fridge. Opening it I grab an apple juice, close the door, and then sit at the table.

Piper walks in saying, "I see you found what you wanted dear. Would you like something to snack on while I start breakfast?" I smile and nod, she chuckles and goes to the fridge as I sit at the table drinking my juice. Piper walks over and sets a small bowl of grapes down. I smile up at her saying, "Thank you, Mama." She blushes swaying a little saying, "You're welcome baby, also what sounds good for breakfast?" I pop a grape in my mouth chewing it as I think of what sounds good. I mean Piper makes such amazing food, I cook well myself but just having someone who cooks so well cook for you is amazing. She goes about setting pans on the stove and looking through cabinets while looking at me once in a while causing me to blush.
