Prompt with photo from tumblr:
Bath time was Taylor and Calvin's twin girls favourite time of the day. This always consisted of lots of splashing, soaking the bathroom floor, playing with their mermaid dolls and of course lots of bubbles.
"Mommy? Can we have purple bubbles?" Ellie asked her mom as the little family of four made their way up the stairs, slowly since the girls were still quite small, to the bathroom.
"Sure sweetie. Is that okay with you Izzy?" Taylor asked her other daughter who nodded.
Isobel Alexandra and Elizabeth Daisy Wiles were as identical as any set of monozygotic twins physically, but they had very different personalities. Izzy was quite shy and reserved, even around her parents, while Ellie was outgoing and playful. When they were together, however, their brains worked in sync and they were both mischievous and had their parents wrapped around their little fingers.
Bath times were always turned into a magical playtime for the girls, ever since they were little, and they would refuse to wash separately. Taylor would always put cool colours of bubble bath in and they would play with their mermaids and little boats while their parents watched on.
"Okay, out of your dresses and come over to me to tie your hair up while daddy runs the bath." Taylor said to the two munchkins. Both girls had long, wavy, blond hair and Taylor couldn't bring herself to get it cut, even though it meant a lot of time was spent teasing out tangles and tying it back.
"Not too hot daddy, remember." Izzy said quietly, tapping Calvin on the shoulder.
"Okay princess." Calvin said blowing her a kiss as she turned towards Taylor with a smile on her face.
As soon as they were in the bath, the twins went into their own little world and Taylor sat on Adam's lap on the stool they had for just this purpose.
"We'll give them 5 minutes and then get them cleaned up... Karlie and co. can wait for us at the restaurant if we were a couple of minutes late." Taylor said, twisting her fingers around Calvin's as they watched. Calvin knew that they would probably still be in time.
The main purpose of the bath was to get the girls cleaned up after an arts and craft session before meeting Karlie and her husband and son at a local restaurant for dinner. Since they lived across the country from one another, Taylor and Karlie didn't get to meet up that often any more, especially with the kids.
Taylor twisted around on Calvin's lap to look at him and smiled as he leaned in to give her a quick peck on the lips. Their gaze was broken by the sound of a large splash, looking over a thte bathtub to find their daughters had been joined in the tub by Dibbles.
"Oops..." Ellie said, looking up at her parents with a guilty expression.
"Dibbles.... What did I say about the bathtub!" Taylor said, laughing as she picked up the soaked cat.
"What happened there girlies?" Calvin asked the twins as he started the job of cleaning the bits of glue and paint off them.
"Dibs was walking along the side of the tub since she likes the smell and then she slipped in." Izzy explained in a very matter of fact way, nodding her head and making Calvin smile.
"She's a silly cat isn't she!" He said, making the girls giggle which was one of his favorite sounds. He let them play around for a few more minutes, listening to Taylor drying the cat with her hairdryer in their bedroom next door, before he decided they needed to get out before their skin looked like raisins. "Okay, time to get out!"
Calvin stood up and got their little hooded towels ready for them. Both girls pouted at him and didn' make any effort to stand up. Calvin smiled and pressed the button that opened the plug to let the water out.
"Bye bye magic water..." Izzy said as the water left the tub. She then held her arms up towards Calvin, asking to be taken out of the large tub, which he did.
Ellie stay sitting in the tub with her arms crossed, determined to stay in there until the last of the water drained out. Calvin shrugged and dried off Izzy first. Finally, the water was all gone and Ellie sighed and stood up, trying to climb out alone which wasn't going to work. Calvin let her try for a few seconds before he lifted her high in the air then set her down, making her squeal happily.
"All done?" Taylor said, coming into the bathroom again.
"Clean and dry. How's Dibbles?" Calvin asked.
"Feeling of so sorry for herself!" Taylor said, laughing at the antics of the cat, before addressing the girls, "Let's get you two dressed for dinner!"
