Forever Love (Stauren) {Book 2: Completed}

Chapter 1

"Happy birthday to you....."

••Twins: three months old••

"Alright Lauren, watch and learn how this is done," Steven joked, about to change Caiden's diaper. I still wasn't the best at it but I was gradually getting better. "Take notes if you'd like."

Caiden looked around curiously, wondering what was about to happen as Steven pulled off his fuzzy pants. Steven started the process, trying to look like he was an expert at it. Then, he squatted down to get a diaper out of the shelves that were under the changing table.

"This is just sooooo interesting," I laughed, earning a mocking glare from Steven. "You know, I don't have to watch you every time you change one of their diapers. I know how to do it, I'm just not the best at it."

"I know, I just like you being near me all the time," Steven replied after standing up.

"Good, 'cause I like being near you too." With that, I leaned in to kiss his lips, only to be interrupted by Cadien who was starting to squirm around on the changing table.

We both looked at him and I moved away from Steven to lean against the wall. "Now pay attention, this is the hardest part," he said to me, making me smile in return. As he started to open up the diaper, Caiden started to pee....on Steven. I couldn't help it, I burst out laughing as Steven tossed a blanket over Caiden's legs with a somewhat disgusted look on his face.

"Watch and learn huh?" I joked. "Should I write that in my notes?"

••Flashback over••

"Happy birthday to you....."

••Twins: six months old••

The constant crying from Caiden and Cleo all night was driving me completely insane. "Steven, we have to go get them or else nobody is gonna be able to sleep tonight."

"No, we can't. They have to get used to sleeping in their own rooms. Most babies their age can do that by now, Caiden and Cleo are too attached to us," Steven replied, turning on his side in bed to look at me.

For the past week we had been trying to get the twins to sleep in their bedroom instead of ours, but they were just not having it. We had already gotten rid of the smaller newborn cribs that they grew out of that used to be in our bedroom, so the only other options were in their room or between us in our bed. It wasn't the safest option, but we called the twins doctor and she told us all of the safety regulations if we were coming to do that sometimes.

I gave Steven a desperate look as both Caiden and Cleo let out even louder sobs. "Okay, fine." I then leaned over and kissed Steven gently. His arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me on his lap to allow me to kiss him more passionately. "Come on," he whispered in a somewhat sexy way.

We both got out of bed and got the twins out of their room and brought them to ours. Cleo breathed in a shaky breath in my arms, trying to recover from all the crying. "You're okay, baby," I said softly and carefully wiped the tears from her cheeks. "Do you wanna sleep with mommy and daddy again?"

As soon as we laid them on the bed between us, they quickly fell asleep, making both Steven and I sigh in relief. When I was finally starting to fall asleep, I heard a little voice. "Mom, dad?" The two of us looked up to see Emmie. "I can't fall back asleep, the twins woke me up." I reached my arms out to her to come sleep with us. Even though she was ten, Emmie was still so small and sweet that it felt like she was still seven.

Emmie rushed to the bed and climbed over Steven to get to me. I wrapped my arms around her and smiled. My perfect family.

"Happy birthday to the twins...."

••Twins: nine months old••

"Alright!" I said to the twins who were playing with their toys. "Time for a bath!" Steven came over and scooped Cleo up while I struggled to catch a crawling Caiden.

We brought the two of them upstairs and undressed them. Steven bounced the twins on his knees while I filled up the bathtub with the appropriate amount of water. We baby proofed the run so we could bathe the both of them at the same time to make it easier.

Caiden and Cleo were splashing around as Steven and I cleaned them up, and then Caiden picked up a little cup and tried to pour the water on his sister.

"No Caiden," Steven started. "You gotta do it like this." Steven filled up a regular sized cup with the bathwater and dumped it on my head.

"Steven!" I wipe my eyes so I could open them. Even though they had no idea what was going on, the twins giggled. "I am so getting you back for that." The both of us lifted them out of the bathtub and wrapped them in towels.

"I'm sure you will," he whispered and kissed me quickly before disappearing into the hallway with Cleo.

"Happy birthday to you!"

A/N
If you didn't understand what I was trying to do, basically this story takes place a year later and I was trying to show some cute flashbacks to when the twins were younger in the most efficient way. Feedback????
