(before I get started, I'd like to say THANK YOU to the people that have read this huge mess of romance- I wouldn't even consider it a fic. I skip around too much, but I'm glad you guys like it anyways...)

The name Ellie didn't really stick.
It reminded us too much of Ellegaard, even though that's who we named her after.
We started calling her Ella, which was better.
It had been almost three years since she was born- one years since Mia was.
I wouldn't call Mia an accident... But let's just say that Jesse and I weren't planning on having another child.
Mia and Ella are always so happy...
Ella with her long blonde hair and sparkling greenish-blueish eyes (almost turquoise) and a bright smile that lights up the whole room.
Mia has short black hair, and has has dark blue eyes that fade into light blue at the center. She has contagious laughter, and is always smiling.
Jesse and I love them both very much.
I opened the door we installed along with the staircase, seeing a very dirty Mia,  (probably due to the fact that it was her dinner time) a near-tears Ella, and a frustrated Jesse.
"You cannot put Sherbet in the sink!" Huffed Jesse, taking away the rainbow-colored bear from Ella.
"But... you told me to wash him!" Objected Ella, confused.
"Oh, for the love of... Notch help me.." Sighed Jesse, handing the bear back to Ella. "Just go put it in the laundry basket..." Jesse smiled weakly, and Ella ran out of the room, taking her bear with her.
Mia cried out, probably because she was hungry and the food was anywhere but in her mouth.
"You know she's not going to wash that stupid bear." I smirked, walking to Jesse and hugging her.
"Yeah... I know..."
We pulled apart and I kissed her on the cheek, smiling.
"Rough day?" I asked.
"Very..." Sighed Jesse, searching the cabinet for Moore baby food.
It was Saturday, so I had to work.
I feel bad for leaving Jesse here on her own with them every weekend, but Jesse doesn't work. And nobody else will watch them for us.
Seriously though- Olivia and Axel have got two 7-year-old twins running around, Petra hates kids, and Ivor would probably scar them for life with some experiment of his.
Plus, people are already getting to Ella. She was crying the other day because some kids hated her for having parents like us.
So I didn't want to enroll any of them in preschool- I mean, they're already smart as it is. We teach them everyday, and it always melts my heart to see them love to learn.
Well, most things, that is.
"How was your day?" I asked, taking off my goggles and placing them on the table.
"It was okay... A little strange though..."
I raised my eyebrows, wondering what happened.
"Strange?" I asked. "What kind of strange?"
Jesse sat down next to Mia, opening the food.
"Well..." Sighed Jesse, giving Mia another spoonful of orange food. "Mia tried to play with the fire on the stove top today when I was making lunch... She was just... Staring at it... Like, she didn't try to touch it- she just stared at it. And then the flame grew twice its size, scaring both Mia and I."
I pictured this scene in my head, finding all of the details strange.
"I just... They've seemed okay so far..." Huffed Jesse, tapping her nails on the table. "But I'm scared that they won't be... You know what I mean?"
Yes. I always think about this...
Mia and Ella... They could turn out worse than us... Or maybe just as bad.
"I worry about them a lot..." I sigh, running my fingers through my hair. "I worry that one day they'll-"
"DADDY!"
Ella screamed so loud that my ears were ringing.
"Yes, sweetie?" I called.
Silence.
"COME HERE... PLEASE."
Jesse looked at me, smiling.
"I'm going to sleep early tonight..." She mumbled, standing up. "You've got them for the rest of the night."
She kissed me on the cheek, walking into the bedroom and closing the door.

...

The TV glowed softly in the darkness, the energetic voices of the cartoon characters babbling quietly.
I looked down at Mia and Ella- who had curled up in blankets next to me.
I looked at the clock.
10:34pm.
It was late.
I stood up quietly, slowly picking up Mia and walking her to her room.
I walked back to the living room, picking up Ella.
"Daddy..." She yawned, smiling.
I placed her down on her bed- across the room from Mia's.
I walked over to Mia, kissing her on the forehead.
"Goodnight, pumpkin." I smiled, exhausted.
She smiled, pulling her blanket towards her.
I walked over to  Ella, smiling as well.
"Goodnight, pumpkin two..." I said, tiredly, a smirk on my face.
I kissed her forehead- and I got up, walking to the door.
"Goodnight sweethearts, I love you..." I smiled.
"I love you, daddy..." Yawned Ella, right before I closed the door.
I closed the door softly, thinking about how happy I was to have this little family...

(Okay, I have a question for y'all! The question is: DO YOU GUYS WANT ME TO CONTINUE THIS SERIES FROM LUKAS'S POV OR JESSE'S POV? 
I really can't decide, and it'd be good to have a permanent narrator. Whichever gets the most suggestions/comments will win over.
LET ME KNOW!)
      I'll see you guys in the next fanfic! flowers for everybody!
