Behind His Life

4

My life as a dad went from having blue everywhere and getting peed on the face to having pink and bows all over the house. My children are my world but I got the girls' names while traveling to Germany.

Chester is at my house today refusing to leave because he loves cuddling Berlin and Parker and I love it too. Me and him eat celery together but he dips his in ranch and he drinks milk but I am drinking water.

Chester tries to give me a bit of ranch but I say that I am trying to go dairy free and he didn't question it. Right when I was going to open my mouth to say another word the babies start crying. Chester follows me to the girl's nursery and picks up Berlin for me and I picked up Parker.

The girls just wanted to be held and me and Chester went into the studio and sang a few things. Chester had Berlin in his arms as he sang and I had Parker in a baby carrier on my chest. This is beginning to be a successful day because the girls never made a peep, the music is a bit loud but we used headphones more today because the babies are on us and all. Also on the babies we have hearing protection on them so their little ears won't get damaged.

Chester said that he was staying for the night and I am almost too scared to react so I just mumble an okay. Not to get me wrong but on tour Chester would cook a breakfast in the bus and feed all of us. I was always "Asleep" at breakfast. Not really I was always on my phone or just in my bunk looking up at the ceiling.

I put Parker in her crib and Chester puts Berlin in hers and we look at each other with the look of relief because we got them to sleep before Anna came home. When me and Chester tried to get Lily and Lila to sleep before Talinda came home Lily and Lila were screaming. Berlin woke up for someone to hold her but at least she wasn't screaming. I put her back in her crib and then went to bed myself.

When I woke up Anna was beside me and Chester was on the other side of me. I wondered why I was in between Anna and Chester but I knew that I fell asleep first on the middle of the bed and Anna usually shares a bed with me and something tells me that Chester fell asleep not long after I did.

The babies woke up about five minutes after I stirred so I went to the bassinets and picked them up. I went down stairs with the babies and talked to them for a little while. They looked up at me with their eyes open. Their eyes have already turned a pretty brown colour that they got from me.

Chester and Anna woke up about an hour after I woke up with the girls and we finished the salad me and Chester picked at last night. It was good and I only ate the lettuce and greens. Anna got me a coffee and I pretended to drink it till the coffee got cold.
I was pretending to drink the coffee because calories are scary these days. I'm counting more calories than a teen girl. My wife gave me the coffee in the first place because I was dozing off into the salad but not only am I trying to cut out dairy I am also cutting out caffeine. I know that I am the only new parent to twins saying this but I have drank so much coffee when Otis was a baby that I shouldn't ever sleep again.

I am still cutting myself up and keeping a journal that is so dark that it almost sounds fake. I'm not going to get caught up in that just because it is true.

Berlin crying gets me out of my deep thoughts, I pick her up and rock her a bit and she calms right down. I get a text from Joe asking if me and Chester would like to bring Tyler, Otis, Lily, Lila, Berlin and Parker to his house tomorrow to hang out. I said yes because getting the band together is good because there is a lot of kids between the band so having them all together will be good.
