Chapter 24
Hillary had been quite distressed with the whole secret parent thing. She never knew how difficult this was for Nymph being alone with twins in a very foreign country. The two babies were literally in between good and bad. They would act like little gremlins but be the most polite at times. Hillary knew deeply that the twins would favour Nymph, the twins never gave their Momma hard time but if Hillary had properly put two to two.
She's also their Mother.
Nymph and Hillary were building blocks next to their little ones who were chattering and babbling, they were basically deep in thought. Hillary thinking of how difficult parenting was and Nymph with her career. It was just silence between the two, the little ones on their side were playing together, giggling at their own babyish babbles and giggles.
"So..." Nymph talks first and Hillary immediately puts her attention onto her.
"Yes?" Hillary was eager to hear Nymph, her voice and her thoughts. It made Hillary feel nice, Nymph would slowly open up to her. It was slow but sooner of later, the cage would be lifted. Everything would be nothing but freedom for the both of them.
Nymph looked to the twins then back at Hillary."How is it, so far?"
Hillary blinked and softly laughed. "With them?"
The woman takes a deep breath and cross her arms before she responded. "They're fine, I guess." Nymph frowned and narrowed her eyes at her, displeased at the minimal tone. Hillary smiled awkwardly then cleared her throat.
"I mean, they're kind and cute but they often mess around and be chaotic." Hillary explained with a soft smile, though they were stubborn it was something Hillary wanted. She had offered to babysit the kids when Nymph would be in the studio and when she's free. She plans to have familial bond with the twins and something more to Nymph.
Hillary sighed and ran hr fingers on her head. "But I can't blame them, it's their first time living after all." Hillary says, these bundle of life and happiness. Nurieal and Niamh were their pride and joy, they're the ones who they awaited for to be born. Hillary did not simply care if she was too spoiling, so long as she can finally repay and payback every hard work Nymph had done for the twins.
It was Hillary's turn to prove herself.
"You're a first time Mom too." Nymph says in a whispering tone not wanting the little ones to pick up that word. She was not ready to tell it to her kids yet, she wanted them to get used of Hillary first before everything else. Nymph was basically testing the direction of where the wind would blew them.
Hillary picked up that hushed statement, she nodded her head. Understanding Nymph's side to fully not let herself be introduced as the twin's Mom. She was patient for the right time for that to happen.
Hillary and Nymph couldn't help but softly smile at the chaos in the living room, the toys sprawled in the floor. Two chubby babies on the floor, entertaining each while their Moms did a heart to heart talk. "I know, thank you for being patient with them." Hillary could not help but say as she turns to look at Nymph.
Nymph's heart swelled hearing those soft words. She was happy to be acknowledged. Nymph had tried so much for a good family even if it's just her and the twins. Nymph knew the difficulty of a Mother and she felt that on Hillary."I can't be like you but I'm sure they'll give me a good mark."
"As a good Auntie." Nymph murmured, teasing the woman making Hillary's lip pucker and form into a pout. She didn't like being called Auntie. She wanted to be called Mom by the twins so eagerly but she had to wait. Nymph teasing with 'Auntie' just makes her bitter and sulky.
