Delun sat with Mayleen in his lap, trying to stop her from crying. "Come on, stop crying Mayleen. Please, for me?" He didn't understand why she was crying. She just started randomly. "Maybe Ai can make you stop."
He stood and took her to Ai. "Delun?" Ai lifted her head. Her hand laid on their son's sleeping form. "What's wrong?"
"She won't stop cring, Ai." Ai reached out for her.
"She's just hungry." Ai mumbled. Delun nodded and picked up his son. "What are you doing now? Are you going to brag about him?"
"Yes." Delun kissed her forehead and Mayleen. "I love you Ai." She nodded, she was so tired. And so sore. Delun carried his slightly chubby son. His son did not like Delun as much as Mayleen did. He cried as Delun carried him. But nonetheless Delun loved his son.
He knew he should be doung his duty, but he was a new father and wanted to brag to the other's on how beautiful that his children were.
"Delun, what is with the loud screaming." Chao walked up, rubbing his temples.
"My son doesn't like me as well as Mayleen does." Delun handed his son to Chao. "He likes you, not me."
"Well, for starters. It's not good to take them away from their mother. And messing with them so much after birth isn't good either." Chao sighed. Delun loved his son but he loved Mayleen more. His arms felt empty without her light weight. "Delun, what do you want me to do with him?"
"Take him to Ai." Delun started to walk down the hall.
"Where are you going?" Delun said nothing until he got to his room. He smelt smoke when he entered his room. He was confused until he heard someone scream fire.
He turned and fled his room, Chao was still in the hallway, holding Delun's son who waz cring loudly. Chao's face was frozen with fear. "Where is the flames?" Delun asked him. Chao pointed and Delun saw where the smoke mostly gathered. "Follow the other's."
"What are you doing?" Delun started to head towards them.
"My daughter and wife is down there." Delun said. His heart was racing. "Protect my son!" He was angry, he had a geuss who started the flames. He saw Ju running beside him, she was going to help. They switched looks. They both knew.
"Father." They whispered together. They felt the same anger together. Something twins only understood.
