Memories

I laid down on my bed trying to not think about my terrible back pain.
I sat up slowly, trying not to disturb my unborn twins slumber. I saw that Sebastian was asleep with a smile on his face.

He's probably dreaming about cats again.

I went to go sit on the rocking chair, he recently made me. I rocked back and forth, gently closing my eyes.

"They're beautiful." I said, tears spilling from my eyes as I looked down at my beautiful twins. Sebastian kissed my head as he too looked at the recently born twins.

"What are you going to name them!?" Lizzy asked in excitement, also looking at the babies.

I looked up at Sebastian "What should we name them?" I asked him. He smiled "what ever you want, my love."

What ever I want?

I looked down at them again, thinking carefully.

I looked at the first born who was a boy. He looked up at me with a breathtaking smile.

Amos. I want to call him Amos.
In Hebrew, the name meant strong;carried; Brave.

I can see my baby boy being just like that.

I looked over at the second born, who was a girl. She looked at me with a breathtaking smile as well.

Allie.
In German, it meant Noble, and kind.

I can see My baby girl being like that.

"Amos and Allie." I said softly. "Those are wonderful names!" Lizzy exclaimed. Sebastian smiled, still looking at them.

"They are."

-----------------------------------------

"Mama! Mama!" Amos yelled, slowly walking towards me. He only started walking a week ago. I picked him up, "Good job, Amos!" I said, and kissed his forehead. "Mama!" Allie yelled and started crawling.

I was starting to worry about Allie. Sebastian said that demon babies usually started walking after being three months old. Amos has already started, but not Allie.

I set Amos down in front of blocks to play with. I smiled and picked up Allie. "Let's try to walk." I said and knelt down. I stood her up. Allie giggled and started to take small little steps. But, after each step she took, she fell.

"Ciel!!! You have a letter!!" Lizzy yelled as always. I sighed and set Allie down "It's alright, love. You'll get it next time." I said with a smile, and kissed her forehead.

After finding out that the letter I received was from my mother in-law, I went back to Amos and Allie. As I walked into the room, I was stunned by what I saw.

Amos was walking backwards while holding Allie's hands as she took small steps.

I yelled for Sebastian to come and see what was happening. When he came, he was stunned as well.

I couldn't help but tear up.

-----------------------------------------

"Daddy! Higher! Higher!" Allie laughed as she was being pushed on a swing by Sebastian. I was under a tree on a picnic blanket with Amos laying on my lap.

"Mommy?" Amos asked, his blue eyes looking at me. "Yes?" I softly stroked his raven-colored hair.

"Am I good?" He asked. "What do you mean by that?" I asked him.

"Well, we are demons, So I was wondering if I'm good." He asked, looking at his black fingernails. I chuckled. "It's up to you, Amos."
Amos looked back at me with a confused expression. "What?" He asked. "I said, it's up to you, Amos. You choose if you want to be good or bad." I finished with a gentle smile. "Would you not love me if I chose bad?" He asked me seriously.

"I'll always love you." I said, and kissed him on his forehead.

----------------------------------------

I got up and walked to Amos's bedroom. He was curled up in a ball under his black covers. I smiled and kissed his forehead. "I love you, Amos." I said, and left the room.

I walked a few doors down to Allie's bedroom. She on the other hand was sprawled out on the bed. I kissed her forehead and pulled the covers over her torso. "I love you, Allie." I said, and left the room.

I went back to mine and Sebastian's bedroom to sit down on the rocking chair. Gently rocking back and forth I fell asleep.

No matter what my children pick in life, whether they are good or bad.

I will always, and forever,

Love them unconditionally.
