Stuck in Time

I woke up the next morning in a strange room inside a crib that I wasn't used to, my dummy was in my mouth and my blankie lay over my body. Needing comfort and not seeing Rayne next to me or any where around me I started to cry, much to no avail; seeing as we make no noise when we cry I didn't get anyone attention. Needing a different way to get someone's attention I found the baby monitor that lay at the corner of my crib, I picked it up and started clapping my hands next to it. My plan seemed to work because a few seconds later Liam walked into the room. Seeing him I started making grabby hands at my daddy. Seeing this he lifted me out of my crib.

"what's wrong baby. Does someone not like being alone? Or do you want Rayne? She was asking for you. She wont stop crying." He told me. Feeling sad for my twin i pointed to the floor as to tell him to let me down. He shook his head at me and laid me down on a changing table.

"im just gonna change your nappy and then you can go see Rayne . Ok" he told me. Nodding and not giving a fight i lay back and spread my legs for him to change my wet nappy. He did so quite quickly and then lifted me into his arms and took me down the steps and into a living room where i saw Rayne in harrys arms and she was silently sobbing. I wiggled out of daddys arms and he set me on the floor. I walked over to Rayne and pulled her out of harrys arms and into mine. She was light and i was used to carrying her as it was. She stoped crying as she held onto me and she lifted her head up from my chest.

"Mikey ! I couldnt find you and they wouldnt tell me where you were. I got quite nervous. Are you ok?" She linked to me. Smiling at her i nodded.

"Ry, im fine, i should be asking you that question?" I linked back. She smiled as i set us down on the couch with her on my lap.

"yeah im fine now" she linked back. I nodded and she did the same back.

"what just happened. Were you two just talking to each other?" Daddy asked. Rayne and i nodded at him.

"we can talk to each other through our minds and she just need to know where i was and that im ok" i signed to him. He looked at us in disbelief but nodded all in the same.

"ok well would you like to go play? We have a swingset outside. Ill be in here making break fast, but the lads will go out with you" he asked us. Rayne and i nodded excitedly and we linked hands and ran to the back door with our four uncles behind us.

Me and Rayne ran around outside for about an hour and then we just laid in the grass for a while before Rayne and i started to get squirmy.

We just lay there starring up at the sky before daddy came outside and over to us.

"Daddy..." We signed helplessly. He nodded understandably and picked us up before leading us to the nursery. Seeing two cribs in there i felt myself relax. Daddy changed mine and Raynes' nappy before taking us downstairs and setting us on chairs that had bosters seats with buckles on them. He buckled us in and set eggs and pancakes infront of us with a two clears sippy cups next to us. Rayne had a sky blue cap and i had a green cap. Looking over at her she smiled and we traded cups. The lads looked at us in amusement and me and Rayne signed what to them. Nothing was their reply. Not really caring we just started eating our eggs and pancakes. The lads stupidly put syrup on the pancakes which im not complaining about but now were all sticky and, Rayne and i get a sugar rush when we have sugar. Their fault.

"lets get you two a bath" daddy said. Silently giggling me and Rayne unbuckled ourselfs and climbed down from the chairs.

"catch us if you can daddy!" We signed in unison and befors he could even process what we just told him we ran away. Rayne and i ran all over the house before we found a music studio. This place is awesome i thought to myself. Rayne and i looked at each other before walking over to the microphone and piano in the center of the room. We adjusted everything and warmed our vocals before i started to play the notes to the last time by taylor swift and gary light body.

" I find myself at your door just like all those times before I'm not sure how i got there all roads they lead me here

I imagined you were home in your room all alone

you open your eyes into mine and everything feels better" i sang.

" right before your eyes I'm breaking no past no reasons why just you and me....

the last im telling you this put my name at the top of your list this is the last time I'm asking you why you break my heart in the blink of an eye eye eye" we sang together.

" you find yourself at my door just like all those times before for you wear your best apology but I was there to watch leave and all those times I let you in just for you to go again disappear when you come back and everything is better" she sang.

" right before your eyes I'm breaking no past nowhere to hide just you and me...

this is the last time I'm asking you this put my name at the top of your list this is the last time I'm asking you why you break my heart in the blink of an eye eye eye" we sang together again. It wasnt untill that moment that we had realized that daddy, uncle haz, lou and zaynie and nini were watching us. Listening to us. Im not really sure why but Rayne and i burst into tears at that moment. The scary thing was that noise came out. Sounds were coming from mine and raynes mouth. daddy came over to us quickly and lifted us into his strong arms. Rayne and i cried into his neck. This never happened before. No one other then each other have heard the other sing. Never. Plus we have never made a sound come out of our mouth since we were babies. This just doesnt make sense. Does that me we are comfortable. We just let our guards down. But in a way thats a good thing, i think.

"oh my babies. Its ok my lovelies. Daddies got you" daddy said to us gentally. Rayne and i at the same time something must have clicked. We have a family, they want to take care of us. Its ok for us to talk, they want us to talk. They arent going to hurt is if we do. Not everyone is like our mother.

"Daddy" we both whined. The lads eyes, who were standing infront of us widened, and daddy let out a gasp. For the first time in about six years we finally let ourselves speak. It actually felt good to talk.

"oh my babies im so proud of you. Daddies very proud of you two!" He told us. Rayne and i looked at each other before smiling and then smiling at daddy.

"tanks" we said in unison. He smiled at us.

"your welcome lovelies but you two still need a bath" he said as he tickled our sides. We giggled loudly, before what he said sunk in and me and Rayne gave each other a knowing and scared look. We each looked at each others wrists which were covered by a long sleve shirt and i guess last night they only took our overalls off which showed all the scars on our legs that our mother gave us. We both subconsciously pulled down on our sleeves and nodded stifly. Not only did our arms hold the scars we give ourselves but our mother did far much worse damage to our torso then any where else and many hurtful words are carved into our backs and tummys. Wanting and needing confort we both asked for the only thing that could give us the comfort we needed.

"dummy?" We asked sheepishly. Nodding daddy pulled two dummies from his trousers pocket. A sky blue one and a green. Learning from this morning he put the blue one between my lips and the green one between Raynes. He lead us to the bathroom and started to run a bath. He turned back to us and he slipped our shirts up over our head and gasped at what he saw. Looking at us i saw that he wasnt looking at our mothers evil marks he was looking at our wrists. Tears formed in his eyes and our eyes.

"were sorry!" We sobbed. He pulled us into his arms.

"my babies, please stop. Dont do this to your selves." He pleaded.

"We'll try Daddy" we told him. He calmed us down before striping us of our nappies and placing us in the tub. He washed our bodies and hair while we played with the bath chalk. He rinsed out our curls making them fall flat. Mine when straight went a little past my shoulders and when you wet Raynes hair it goes way down her back and stops at her hip. He pulled the bath plug and lifted us out of the tub.

"lets get you two into a fresh nappy and then we will put some footies on and have a baba. Does that sound good to you" he asked. We nodded happily and he laughed at us but did as he said he would. After ge dressed us we went down stairs and cuddled onto the couch and uncle haz handed us our babas, as well as our blankies.

"tanks" we said our words muffled by the baba that was now in our mouth. Rayne and i, along with daddy and our uncles watched toy story till Rayne and i fell asleep; happily laying our daddies lap, with our blankies over our sleeping bodies and dummies in our mouths.
