Maine was in the nursery playing with the twins Celestine and Sebastian when she heard her husband's car pulled over their driveway . Before leaving the nursery , she made sure that her two year old twins were fast asleep in their cribs . Before leaving she glanced at her babies one more time then closed the door behind her . Maine then proceeded to the front door to greet Richard her husband .

Richard honked the horn to alert the guards to open the gate of their estate . It was a long day for him at the office with meetings left and right . When the day finally ended , all he could think about was coming home and be with Maine . While waiting for the gate to open , he looked at their house and the surrounding area . It looked so peaceful that night and wondered what his wife was doing at that moment . He noticed the faint light at the left side of the house and he knew right away where Maine is , at the twins nursery . He could hear the soft sound of the lullaby coming from the room . It has been Maine's routine every night to visit the nursery . When the gate opened , Richard drove inside the driveway, parked and before he turned of the engine he took one last look of the nursery but the light was already off . Richard then turned off the engine , went down the car and inside the house.

Maine was coming down the stairs when she saw her husband was already walking towards her . She greeted him and asked if he wanted to eat dinner . When Richard told her that he hadn't had dinner yet , Maine offered to prepare it for him . Richard then went upstairs to change while Maine was in the kitchen preparing his food . Maine loves to cook that is why they didn't hire any household help when they got married and moved to their dream house . Maine always wanted to be hands on in managing their household and taking care of their kids . When Maine was done preparing her husband's food she waited patiently for him in the dining room .

When Richard walked towards the master's bedroom to change , he passed by the nursery . He opened the door slowly and turned the light on . It was so peaceful inside , he can see the toys was placed neatly on top of the drawers . The twins clothes are well organized in their designated cabinet 's . He remember when they found out that they were having twins , Maine was the happiest pregnant person he ever saw . Even before they got married , his wife always wanted a big family with many children and knowing that they are having twins was the fulfillment of that dream . Richard can feel his eyes starting to burn , he then turn the lights off again and slowly closed the door . Richard proceeded to their room to change and went back to the kitchen after .

Maine was getting herself a cup of coffee when Richard went back down . When Richard started eating , Maine asked him about his day .

" How's work Hon ?".

" It was busy today , I had 6 meetings back to back".

" Oh ! I'm sorry to hear that Hon ".

" That's ok , after this week all the meetings will be over and the expansion will start ".

" So you're gonna be busy then ".

"Not for you my love ".

Maine gave her husband the sweetest smile .

" Why don't you work with me at the office so you won't be bored".

" I'll be ok , I will keep myself busy in the garden "

" Ok , If that's what you want , but let me know if ever you wanted to go back to work ".

" Don't worry I will".
