Skins: Fire

Two Men and Two Babies

Freddie's POV:

"Are you sure you two can handle it?" Ana asks us.

"They're my sons too babe." I tell my fiancée.

"I know but—"

"But nothing." Andy, London's husband says. "We got this."

London and Ana are doing a girls night out, leaving me and Andy with the boys.

"Come on." London urges. "The longer we stay here, the more time we waste!"

"Alright fine. Fine! Goodbye my beautiful boys." Ana kisses both their cheeks and they squeal.

"What? No kiss for me?" I ask.

"You'll get a kiss as a reward when we get back." She grabs her purse and the sisters leave.

Andy and I look at each other.

"We can handle this right?" Andy asks. Both boys start crying and screaming.

"Yeah. We got this."

Ana's POV:

I keep checking my phone to see if Freddie contacts me about the boys.

"Put your phone away!" London orders.

"Jeez I was just checking." I put my phone in my purse.

"You've been 'just checking' for the past half an hour. Enough is enough. You need to live a little."

"I haven't been to a club in a while Lon."

"All the more reason why we should be here." I groan.

"It's just... I've never been away from them. I'm always right there. As soon as they open their mouths to cry, I'm right in their faces."

"And they appreciate that. But mums need a break too. Can we get another round of drinks over here!" London calls out.

"I just hope they're ok." I sigh.

"They're fine. It's two babies and two men. What's the worse that can happen?"

Freddie's POV:

"He's literally shitting everywhere!" Andy yells about James over Freddie Jr.'s cries. "As soon as I wipe him, more comes out!"

"Damn it! We gave him peas. That's why." I remember. "He shits like a grizzly bear after he has peas." I pick up my namesake and try to calm him down. "Why are you crying Freddie? Please stop crying." I try to bounce him but that makes him cry more. "Oh when you change him watch out for--" James pees on Andy. "That."

"Fuck!" Andy says. He struggles to get the diaper on James but he finally gets it. "Should I even bother to put his onesie on?" I shake my head.

"By the time it's on and comfortable, he'll need another change. I'll go get you another shirt." We put the boys in their playpen and Freddie calms down as soon as he and James are together.

"This stuff is hard work." James says as he takes off his piss stained shirt.

"Hell yeah. I don't know how Ana does it by herself while I'm at work."

"Woman's got a real gift." Andy compliments. I give him a new shirt and throw his shirt in the washing machine and we sit on the couch.

"It's been a while since Ana's been out and to a club you know? Ever since she graduated, she's just been on the fast track. From school, to the hospital and now the babies... She needs a break."

"You two thought about your honeymoon yet?"

"Not yet. But I know it has to be perfect to thank her for everything."

"I hope they're having a good time." Andy sighs. We lean back and try to relax and then the boys start crying again.

Ana's POV:

We're having a great time at the club, we're dancing and drinking and having a great time.

"I can't believe I'm missing out on this!" I yell to my sister over the music as we dance. "We should do this more often!"

"Agreed!" I look over and see this guy checking me out he smiles and starts coming over to me.

"Hi." He greets. "I"m Kent."

"Hi, I'm engaged." I say as I dance to the music.

"You sure you want to be with him?"

"You sure you want my twin boys? Cause I have those too." His face changes. "That's what I thought. Just turn right around."

"Was that guy trying to hit on you?" My sister asks.

"Uh yeah. But as soon as I told him I have twin boys, he was done." We go to the bathroom to check ourselves. "Thanks for bringing me here. I like being out but it makes me miss my boys. All of them."

"That means you want to go?" I nod. "Good because I'm really horny."

"Ew, ew, ew. My ears are bleeding."

"What? You shouldn't feel weird about talking about sex. That's how those babies were made. The way Andy and I hit it, I'm shocked I'm not pregnant."

"And I'm deaf. Can we go now?"

"Fine. Let's go."

London and I get to the house and we open the door.

"Andy?"

"Freddie?" No one answers. We walk further into the house. "This place is a mess. A lot happened here."

"Uh yeah." We see the guys passed out on the couch with the boys sleeping on their chests.

"I gotta get a picture of this." I say happily. I quickly pull out my phone and take a picture of them. "I'll take one, you take the other." London and I carefully take the boys and put them in their cribs. We go back into the living room and Andy is already awake.

"Sorry about the house." He whispers.

"It's ok. Go home. My sister wants to have sex."

"After the day I just had, I need some."

"Alright, get out of my house." I tell my sister and brother. "Thank you." They leave and I sit next to my husband and kiss his cheek. "Wake up babe." He groans.

"Hey beautiful. The house is a mess."

"It's fine. I don't care about that. The boys are safe and the house isn't on fire. We'll worry about that tomorrow. You worked hard, let's go to bed." We get off the couch and check on the boys. "So how was it?"

"Oh my God." He whispers. "It was hard work." He runs his fingers through his hair. "You work hard when I'm not home. It makes me love you even more." He kisses me.

"I love you too. But you're cleaning the house tomorrow."

"After what you do everyday, I'll be happy to."
