Moonlight In A Dark Sky

If caring for one baby was difficult and time consuming caring for two is like signing away your freedom. The past few weeks have been so hard on Ariana and Sean.

Everything revolved around the twins. The forgot what the outside world was like. For the weeks that they've been home and out of the hospital they haven't been on any social media or took a step off of their property.

They want the first few months to just be them, close friends and family. They wanted to get to know the twins before going out into public so they were comfortable with each other before having strangers around. Zeno, Alexa would come by from time to time with Anthony and Joan would be over anytime she could.

Ariana and Sean felt as if they were hit by a truck, they were walking zombies. It was just as hard for Sean as it was for Ariana. They were running off 5 hours of sleep, at most.

The twins woke up three times a night each, at different times. They were put to sleep at 7, then Anthony would be the first to wake up screaming not to long after her falls back asleep Nevaeh would be the one to wake up and after she fell asleep it would be Anthony's turn again and the rest of the night would continue like that. By the last time they wake up Ariana and Sean are already wide awake

"I'll get them," Ariana said when they heard the first cry.

A few minutes later Ariana walked back into her and Sean's room hold a baby in each arm. She laid them down in between her and Sean and they watched as Nevaeh and Anthony babbled to each other.

"Anthony has the same birth mark as you." Ariana said to Sean as she looked at Sean's bare chest and her son's bare chest.

"That means he's gonna be a playa." Sean told her

"No he's not, he's not going. Find a girl in his twenties and she's going to be amazing and cute and then they'll get married." Sean playfully rolled his eyes at her with a chuckle

Ariana noticed Anthony licking his lips and looking around, telling her that he's ready to eat. Nevaeh was doing the same.

"I'll warm up her bottle." Sean said getting up and out of bed to go downstairs taking Nevaeh with him.

Sean opened the fridge door and took out some already pumped breath milk and placed it into the bottle warmer. While waiting for it the warm the milk Sean's phone rang.

"Hello," Sean said answering it not caring to look at the caller ID.

"Hey Sean, it Alexa." Sean's manager said "I'm here with Kelsey."

"Okay what's up," Sean said holding his phone between his ear and shoulder as her started to feed Nevaeh her bottle.

"It's been to long," Alex told him "You've M.I.A. for to long people are wondering what happens and we don't want that."

"Sean, you've got everyone wanting to work with you, this year could be even greater then last year." Kelsey, his publicist, said

"Look, I'm little busy right now can we talk later?" Sean asked

"Look, I'll have them send over tracks just listen to them and then get back to us," Alex said and ended the call

A few minutes after the call ended, Sean's phone got notifications, notifying him that Alex sent him the track. Sean put him phone away and finished feeding Nevaeh her bottle and burped her. When Sean got upstairs Ariana was in the process of undressing Anthony to bathe him. He did the same to Nevaeh.

10 minutes later Ariana was wrapping up a crying Nevaeh in a towel and Sean wrapping up Anthony who was more than happy to finally be over with bath time. They may be twins but there were polar opposites, the only thing that is the same for them are their parents.
