The next day Robert and the children spent the whole morning in the baby's room to surprise Andy while she was resting. During the night the twins had been very restless and the little girl in Andy's belly had also been quite active and this had caused Andy to get very little rest. So, after having breakfast together, Andy went back to bed to try to get some sleep while the twins helped Robert. Even though they couldn't write, they both wanted to write their little sister's name on the wall so Robert wrote the name with a pencil and then helped his children to trace the writing with color. Since the walls were pink, the name was written in purple and then at the end of the name both Mila and Marcus had their dad help them draw a blueberry. After writing the little girl's name on the wall, all three of them put animal stickers on, although they were mostly bunnies and dogs, and finally the children took their little sister's stuffed animals and put them in the crib.

Robert: "You guys were great" he said to his kids as soon as the two of them put the last two stuffed animals in the crib.

Mila: "But the giant stuffed animal is still missing"

Robert: "The giant stuffed animals will arrive in a week"

Marcus: "Is it taking that long?" he asked as he sat down on the carpet and Robert nodded. "We'll wait then" he replied with a huff.

Mila: "Can we go to mommy so she can see what we've done?"

Robert: "Go to her, but if she's still sleeping, don't wake her up" the two kids nodded, but obviously didn't listen to their dad.

Mila: "Mommy" she shouted as she went to her mommy's room.

Marcus: "Mommy" he shouted as well, just like his sister, while Robert, who remained in the little girl's room, shook his head.

Mila: "Are you awake?" she asked as she and her brother entered their mother's room.

Andy: "It's impossible to stay asleep if you're screaming like crazy" both children started laughing.

Mila: "Oops" she replied covering her mouth with her hands. "So we woke you up?"

Andy: "No, don't worry, I was already awake"

Marcus: "Oh, good. Then tell dad that we didn't wake you up"

Andy: "Okay, I'll do it" she replied smiling.

Mila: "Do you want to come and see how we finished decorating our little sister's room?"

Andy: "Sure" she replied still smiling. "I'll get out of bed and then I'll come, okay?" Mila and Marcus nodded.

Marcus: "In the meantime we'll go back to dad so we can decide what to eat, I'm hungry, really hungry" Andy laughed a little and then the children went back to their dad.

Andy, with some difficulty, got out of bed and then joined Robert and the children in the baby's room. Mila and Marcus couldn't wait to show their mother how they had helped their father that morning and as soon as Andy joined them, the two children immediately started telling her everything. The twins were talking at the same time and neither Andy nor Robert were understanding anything. Mila and Marcus kept wanting to show their mother everything, but since they wanted to show her different things, everything was a big mess.

Andy: "Hey, hey, calm down. I can't see everything at once, one thing at a time"

Marcus: "But you always tell us that you have eyes in the back of your head and that we shouldn't do anything because otherwise you can see" he said approaching his mother. "Did you tell a lie?" he said crossing his arms and Robert started laughing.

Andy: "Well.." she didn't know what to answer her son, but fortunately Robert intervened.

Robert: "Why don't you start by showing mommy the little sister's name written and then all the stickers that you helped me put on since you made up a story?" the two twins nodded. "And tell her the story like you told it to me"
