The Kidnapped

Grow The Family

Four months had gone by in a blur, Ridley knew not to risk being seen by Jenniah or Sergio and considering the fact that she had no idea how they looked she resorted to staying home and Carmina would tag along with myself to do shopping.

I wanted to surprise Ridley with a nursery for the twins as well as all they needed as newborns, knowing that I had no idea how to do it all on my own, I had no choice but to involve Carmina.

"Well, they're twins Pier, that's all. Not everything has got to be the same." Carmina argued as we'd been painting the first side of the room a bright pink colour. "I'm just saying, they're both girls, shouldn't it be the same?" I questioned.

Carmina laughed. "You want to tell the difference don't you?" "Well, yes of course." I agreed. Carmina had what she felt would be a great idea if we split the room and painted one half purple and the other pink and buy everything needed in those colours, including crawlers and blankets and teddy bears too.

After hours, the room was finally painted and we could rest before we had to fix up the cribs. "Go find Ridley, she probably misses you. I'll finish up the room." "Are you sure?" I didn't want to work her too hard. "Yeah, sure. I worked at a baby supply store my whole life basically, I am going to be just fine."

Nodding in acknowledgement I found myself rushing to the room where Ridley's eight months pregnant belly hid away almost everything and still managed to make her as beautiful as ever.

"Hey beautifuls." I included my soon to be born babies. "Oh good, you're finally home. I have so much to talk to you about." I found it cute,the way she spoke with so much excitement. I was obviously not at the club since I was fixing up a nursery, but Ridley didn't have a clue.

"Well, get to talking. I'm yours, for the rest of the day." I pulled her into my arms and cuddled.

"We're due in almost three weeks Pierce, we haven't got any names for the girls." "Oh, okay. We can think up some right now eh?"

She looked at me, happily. "Oh baby. I'm so excited. I can't wait anymore." "Neither can I Mariposa." I kissed her forehead. "Okay, their names have to be unique. Nobody else has to have them." "Okay, first choice?" "Cardly and Creece." I laughed at her invention.

"No. No. No." I said between laughs. "Your turn then." "Okay. Ameez and Aneek." "No." Her stern response made everything serious. "Here's what we're going to do." She said with a slight struggle to sit upright. "You're going to name one, I'll name the other." "I love the concept bebé, but we may not agree."

Ridley pulled a dissatisfied face and it compelled me to give my last idea of names. "Okay fine. Arazaan and Azriaan?" "I love it! I think it would be perfect!"

She kissed me. It was the most intimate kiss ever since Creeden and I had spoken word about Jenniah and Sergio's appearance, almost four months ago. Her hands travelled freely over my body until she latched her arms around my neck.

Her tongue found its way in my mouth and we snaked them around in a fight for dominance. Our kiss was broken by Carmina walking in on us. "Uh, I'm sorry but uh Pierce if I could steal you for a minute?"

"Go to sleep my love." I said as I kissed her one last time and spotted the time just above her head. It was almost nine in the evening "What's up?" I asked her as we walked into the nursery. "I'm all done in here. Maybe you could set up everything else?" She suggested,before leaving.

Days later I asked if Carmina would keep Ridley busy so I could complete the nursery. There was nothing more than packing their clothes in their drawers.

I decided to get alphabet as well, lucky enough, I wasted money on enough to spell both their names. The white of the letters and cupboards broke the contrasting pink and purple. I had to be at the club at eight tonight so I had to hurry. I only had three hours before then.
