Over the next few weeks the boys started getting lighter, their hair started getting curlier, and they had my eye color so they had a resemblance to me and Ray. I got up, hearing a cry. It was strange, when Josiah cried RaeSean stayed asleep. When RaeSean cried Josiah stayed asleep. They'll have their moments when they both cry but other than that they were the perfect babies to me. They cried a lot but I didn't care. "Momma is coming." I called. I peeked in the boys room to see who was crying. I saw Josiah moving his arms around so I quickly went the kitchen and made his bottle. I organized the fridge so I could know who had which bottle. RaeSean had the left side and Josiah had the right side. I got one of Josiah's bottles out and warmed it up. I took it out the microwave and shook it up. I rushed to the boys room and I saw Ray holding Josiah. "He just needed somebody to rock him." Ray said, rocking him back to sleep. I smiled, standing at the door and watched Ray put him back to sleep. Josiah slowly fell asleep as Ray continued rocking him. "You go back to bed baby. I got you." Ray waved me off. "Okay.." I said, going down to the kitchen. I put his bottle back in the fridge. I stood at the stairs and wondered if I should stay downstairs to work out a little bit. I decided to ask Ray to see if its okay. I went upstairs and I found him in the rocking chair sound asleep holding Josiah in his arms. "How cute," I said to myself, wanting to take a picture. I went into our room and changed into my sports bra and some sweatpants and made my way downstairs. I was working the weight off whenever I had the chance. Whenever the boys are sleeping I work out for a hour before cleaning up. I put the CD Robyn gave me that she used to work out when she had her baby boy named Kyran. He was five months older than my boys so when they get older they can play. I worked out for forty minutes before looking at the clock. "Its almost three in the morning!" I exclaimed. I put my exercise stuff away and went back upstairs. I took a quick shower and put my PJs on. I went back to the boys room to wake Ray up. I stood at the door and heard him talking. "Daddy loves you guys. I might not show it but I do." Ray said, and I walked in. I saw Josiah back in his bed and Ray was leaning over RaeSean's bed. "Ray, come to bed with me baby." I said, walking over to him and wrapping my arms around him. "Isobel they're perfect." Ray tells me as we walked to our room. "I know baby and they're ours." I said and he stopped me. He kissed me and we started French kissing. "What was that for?" I asked. "I love you so much words can't explain." Ray said, lifting my hand up. "I liked it so I put a ring on it." Ray said and I giggled. "Oh oh oh." I said and he chuckled. "You're my wife, you had my babies, and you're so good with the boys. How do you do it?" Ray asked, putting his head in my neck. "You just gotta be patient with them Ray." I said and he nodded. "You been working out again?" He asked. "How did you know?" I ask. "You smell like you just took a shower." Ray said, grabbing my ass. I giggled nervously and moved his hand. We went to our room and I laid down. He took his shirt off and got in bed with me. He pulled on my pants. "No. The boys are sleeping and I don't want to wake them up." I said. "It depends if you quiet or not." Ray said, touching my pants. "Ray stop it." I said sternly. He immediately stopped. "My fault." Ray said and wrapped his arms around me. "I don't want you to do anything you don't want to do." Ray said. "Ray. Go to sleep." I yawned. "Oh you don't want any of this," he stuck his tongue out, "because you tired. Okay I got you tomorrow." Ray said."Love you." I said and I fell asleep.
"Ya'll need to move closer to us." Niecy said the next day, sitting Josiah on her lap. "I think Ray wouldn't want to move anymore." I said. "Just complain about how small the house is and how alone you are when he's at work." Robyn said. "He knows I like being alone with Josiah and RaeSean." I said, taking a whining RaeSean from Cherie. I started bouncing him on my lap and changed the channel to Sprout. "I'll talk to him about it." Niecy said, hitting her palm with her fist. We laughed. "Girl bye." Robyn snickered. "The Chica Show is on? Ooo girl watch this." Niecy exclaimed. "Weeeeeell we've worked hard all day and now its time to stop!" Niecy and Robyn sang and the boys turned their heads to look at them. "Time to put our things away and close this little shop!" They sang. The boys started smiling. "So wipe the counter!" Niecy sang, poking RaeSean's nose. "And mop the floor!" Robyn exclaimed. "And say so long and close the door!" They sang together. RaeSean and Josiah started smiling at them. "DID SOMEBODY SAY ONE MORE TIME!?" Niecy and Robyn exclaimed loudly. "So say so long and close the doooor!" They said together and Josiah stared at Robyn. "Come to auntie." Robyn smiled at him, taking him from Niecy. "They're so precious, Isobel." Robyn said, bouncing him on his lap. "Thank you," I smiled. "What are you gonna do for their birthday?" Cherie asked. "I'll just invite some people over who has kids and all the kids will play with each other while the guys cook on the grill I guess. They aren't gonna remember anyway so until they can remember stuff that's when I'll do bigger parties." I said and the girls nodded. "If ya'll wanna get fancy you should get about... Twelve cakes because they'll be twelve months old until they're one." Cherie said. "How are we supposed to get twelve different cakes? With what money?" I asked. "I was just saying." Cherie held her palms up. "I don't wanna get a job and have nobody watch them. Everybody is busy so.." I shrugged. "You got family so they can watch them." Robyn said. "Oh! Can y'all watch the boys? I need to go see my dad." I said. "Of course. Take your time." Niecy said.
