Our Babies

Prologue

[Morning]

"Zee", call Mia, shakily.

The brunette raven-haired twin of her begins to stir in his sleep before big, golden brown eyes are pop open to look at the world once again. Zayn almost groans for being awake early in the morning, but he remain silence as he fists his eyes with his hands. Sitting up on the shared single bed with his youngest twin, Mia, he look at her with frown plastering on his face.

"Mia, go back to sweep. I tiwed.", Zayn whines a little.

The soon-to-be 4-years old Mia finally burst into tear and it instantly make Zayn feel bad. Without wasting his time, he pull her close into his embrace and wrap his arms tightly around her small, shaky figure. The twins just stay quietly in their room, as one tries to comfort another. Zayn begins to rub Mia's visible wings soothingly and it really works in comforting her down. It takes him about 10 minutes 'til she's back to her disturbed sleep. Zayn smile, kiss her forehead softly before lay back down to the bed with his sister still in arms. Pulling the cover higher to themselves, he make sure his sister is well-cover with the thin blanket that was provided by the orphanage.

They just stay in embrace and Zayn let her to cuddles deeper to him, tightening his hold on her before he slowly slip back to his disturbed sleep with Mia.

"Zayn! Mia! Wakey-wakey, sleepy potato-heads!", shouts a voice.

The twins just groans, stuffing the pillows to their faces, drowning the shouts but that doesn't stop the torment. As they're about to get back to their sleep, the blanket was forcefully pull away from them. In results, the twins startles at the lost of warmth from their covers and hands begins to search for it before they hear chuckles in the room. They begins to groans, giving in as they begins to sit up on their shared single bed and practically glaring hard at Ms Melanie. Their lovely caretaker. She only chuckles even more, shaking her head and begins to fold the cover nicely before she set it down to the end bed of theirs. She soon to take a seat on the bed, looking at them with soft, warm smile and begins to open her arms for Mia to crawl in.

Mia giggles, begins to crawl out from Zayn's side into the open-arms of Ms Melanie and fall into the embrace. Ms Melanie chuckles, wrapping her arms tightly on the toddler as she begins to place soft kisses all over her face. Zayn watch them with soft gaze, smiling as he watch his sister having some good time. They've been in the orphanage for years and only Ms Melanie cares about them, since no one would like to adopt them as they're being plainly too different than normal kids in the house.

"Did you slept good, baby?", ask Ms Melanie.

The two toddlers just nod to her, sending her toothy grin. The caretaker nods, grinning back before she get up from the bed with Mia still in her arms. Calling for Zayn, he gladly get up onto his two feets on the bed and walk towards Ms Melanie, before getting himself scoop up from the bed by her. Both toddlers begins to giggles in her arms and she begins to walkaway from their bed, heading to the private bathroom in the room, kicking the door open. She carries them into the room, setting them carefully down to the floor.

"Let's get you stinker wash, then we can go and get something to feed those little tummy of yours, yeah?", Ms Melanie say.

The twins giggles, placing their pudgy hands to their mouths before nodding to her. She begins to undress each one of them and place them into the bathtub, passing the attachable shower head to Zayn before turning the hot shower on. She left them to wash themselves up by their owns while she head out to get their outfits ready to wear. After 15 minutes, the twins are done showering so they call out for Ms Melanie. Within second, she's already in the bathroom with them and towels are resting on her shoulders. Kill the shower, she take Mia out first and dries her up before wrapping her tightly with the towel before she move on to Zayn. Copying her actions to Zayn, she bring him to the sink and help him climb the small stool place in front of the sink. She help them, by getting their toothbrushes wash up and place some toothpaste on it before passing to them, letting them to brush their teeths.

Zayn and Mia happily brushes their teeths and small fangs and quickly wash up as they hear Ms Melanie calling them out from the bathroom. Washing up, they place their toothbrush back to its place in the container before stepping down from the stool as they make their way out from the bathroom. Ms Melanie help them getting dress up, even to make sure that their nappies are correctly done so that no more accidents happen. She quickly make their hair and squeal happily, as she look at them whose looking all good and freshen up.

"Tan you, Mama.", they says, unison.

Ms Melanie coo at them, taking their hands into her big ones before carefully bring them down from their bed and bring them out from their bedroom to the kitchen for breakfast. Zayn and Mia was supposed to be awaken couple hours ago, to get ready for today's adoption day but Ms Melanie against it as she knows how everyone would react when they sees them. She purposely wake them up late, letting them sleep in so that they'd escape from their daily torments from the kids and caretaker in this place. She'd love to adopt them both, but she couldn't 'cause she's too afraid about the place she's living at, currently. It isn't safe and sustainable for kids like them to grow up at, so she haven't stop praying and hoping for the Lord to find them good family to lives with.

The clock in the hallway at the first floor shows 11:45 am and they still have 15 minutes before the visitors arrives here. Ms Melanie quickly bring them to the kitchen, right down the hallway before set them up into their tall chairs. Ms Melanie knows their things, about being the fallen angel twins but she didn't mind about it, unlike others who thought that Zayn and Mia would be very dangerous for their family. Since they're special, Ms Melanie makes them special meal too so that it would fit with their stomachs but to be honest, they can just eat normal human foods. After done making their plates, she passes to them and let them to dig in. Ms Melanie knows that Zayn and Mia is half-devil and half-angel, 'cause both of them owns the characteristics and personalities of it. They read their prayers and soon to dig in, after done reciting. Ms Melanie make them a glass of milk for them to share, placing in between of their plates.

"Tan you, Mama Mel.", Zayn tell with his mouthful.

Chuckling at him, she smile and nods, kissing the top of his soft, quiffed brunette hair. The two toddlers enjoys their meals 'til it's all finish and Zayn make sure to share the milk with Mia. Once the milk is finish too, Ms Melanie quickly get the dirty dishes wash up and clean the table, then them. She carries them out from the tall chairs and bring them out from the kitchen to the playroom where all kids would be gathers at during the visitation. As they enters the room, all attentions averts to them and it makes Zayn and Mia to whimpers a little but Ms Melanie quickly hush them, comfortingly. Bringing them away from the doorway, they soon to plop down to the couch and she carefully set them down to the mat on the floor where toys are scatters there. The two toddlers enjoys playing it 'til Anna come out of blue, snatching the doll roughly from Mia. Startling the poor girl, Mia begins to cries out and Zayn look at Anna with hard glare, quickly stand up to his feets.

"Wive her back!", Zayn demands.

Anna scoffs at him, pushing him down making the latter to collapse back to the floor by his bum. He soon to burst into tears too, feeling the pain on his bum. Ms Melanie realizes what happens, so she quickly come to the scene and look at Anna in disbelief. Seeing Zayn and Mia crying, she glares to the 6-years old Anna and snatch the doll from her back.

"10 minutes at the corner! Right now!", Ms Melanie sternly orders.

Anna whimpers, but oblige to her orders as she begins to leave them to her corner and do her punishment as she supposed too. Ms Melanie quickly take a seat on the floor between them, calling them to her laps which they didn't protest much. Crawling to her laps, she begins to rock them while trying to soothes their crying down.

"Zee bum wurts.", Zayn sniffles.

Ms Melanie coo, nodding to her before patting his diapered-bum covered with his short khakis pant. The three of them just stay in such position, having their own fun 'til the visitation hours begins. Ms Melanie make sure the kids to stay close with her, so that no one would say something mean or do something awful to them for being different.
