(Emily POV)
I walk into the house after work, and hear a very beautiful melodic tone being sung. I make my way into the living room and I find Ali holding Lily close with Asher in his little swing asleep. Ali is sitting on the bench in front of the piano playing silent night and singing the song softly to Lily. I smile in awe and watch from the doorway of the room.
I lean up against the door frame but my arm slips and I come crashing into the floor. I collide onto the floor causing Ali to jump and turn around abruptly.
"Oh my god em you scared me! Are you okay?!?" And asks and puts Lily into her hip and and grabs my hand to help me up. The fall didn't hurt though.
"Yeah, I'm fine thanks." I say with a small smile.
"You're sure?" She asks sweetly.
"I'm sure." I say while sort of half hugging her being mindful of Lily on her hip.
"How's this little one?" I ask softly tickling Lily's cheek causing her to bury her head beeper into Alison's neck.
"She's still a little sniffly and clingy but she's okay." She says as she cuddles Lily into her arms.
"Good, can I hold her?" I ask.
"Sure." Alison tries to hand Lily over to me but Lily isn't having it and only clings to Ali tighter.
"Sorry, em. Doesn't look like she's coming off of me anytime soon." Ali says with a pouty face.
"Dats okay." I say in a baby voice and caress Lily's soft cheek and kiss her warm forehead.
"I'll grab Asher." I say and pick up my sleepy boy and press a kiss to his head and snuggle him into my arms tightly.
"Can you believe this?" Ali asks.
"Believe what?" I ask confused...
"This. Us, we're married, we have two amazing, beautiful children. I remember when we were in highschool. Young, I didn't know myself. But I'm glad I do now, because you and Asher and Lily are the best blessings to ever happen to me." She says.
"I love you so much." I say.
"I love you too." She says and leans in to give me a chaste kiss.
Ali then goes to lay on the couch with Lily. I sat on the chair across from her and nursed the now hungry, baby Asher.
I watch as Ali takes off Lily's pajamas because she was getting too overheated and draped a light blanket over them. Then Lily falls asleep cuddling into Alison's chest and Ali kisses her on the head and falls asleep about 5 minutes later.
After nursing, I go to make dinner.
(Alison POV)
I woke up on the couch with Lily cuddled into my chest. She's warm.
I bring her to her swing and gently put her in it, then I laid a light blanket on her and kissed hers and Asher's little foreheads before going into the kitchen.
I see Emily cooking dinner and walk up slowly behind her and wrap my arms around her waist.
"Thank you." I say, leaning into her.
"For what?" She asks.
"For being here always." I say softly.
"I should thank you. You've given me so much and I am forever grateful to you." She says as she stirs noodles for Alfredo and chicken.
"As I am to you." I say.
She turns around and envelops me in a hug. We hug for what feels like forever.
"I love you so much." I say while looking into her eyes.
"I love you too." She says and kisses me passionately.
I help her cook the rest of our dinner and then we eat.
Lily wakes up and nurses and I play with Asher.
"Tummy time!" I say in my baby voice and lay on my tummy across from Asher who's on his tummy too.
I grab a few colorful toys and play with him with the toys.
"Boop! Boop!" I say as I make a cute little stuffed animal kiss his little button nose.
After playing with Asher, I check up on Lily who is with Emily.
I take her temperature and she's at 99°F. Finally it went down. Almost to her normal temperature.
I kiss her head and put a onesie on her.
I lay her next to her brother on her tummy too. She's much more lively than earlier which is a good sign. I play with the babies on their tummy, trying to get them to crawl. After all, they are five months and should be crawling soon.
"Come on, come on!" I say in my baby voice and shake a toy in front of them to try to get them to crawl.
"Ali, they're not going to do it on demand." Emily says.
"I just don't want to miss it though." I say and sigh.
"I know, neither do I." She says.
"I'm going to the bathroom, look after them." I say.
She nods and I go to the bathroom.
I'm on the toilet and Emily screams my name.
"What Em!?" I scream back.
"Hurry up! Come here!!" She yells back.
I hurry, wipe and put my pants back on and quickly wash my hands.
"What is it?" I ask as I walk back into the living room.
"Look." Emily says and looks over to the babies.
They're both crawling.
"Oh my god." I whisper and cover my mouth in surprise.
Emily comes over and wraps her arms around my shoulders.
"Love, they're growing up." She says.
"I know." I say and relax into her embrace.
Finally the babies are done crawling and are back onto their tummies.
"Ooh my babies! Good job! You made mommy and mama so proud today!" I say in my baby voice to the twins and kiss them each about one hundred times.
And Emily comes and does the same.
"I love them so much." I say.
"Me too." She says.
"I love you." I say.
"I love you more." She says.
"Not possible." I say.
