Love Bites

Ch. 22

Robyn // Rihanna

I wake up to Lily's crying. I look over and see Nicki was still passed out, and I couldn't help but to chuckle at how worn out she was. Ever since she woke up and transitioned, the second she hears one of the babies crying, she's out of bed in the blink of an eye. This was the first time that either myself or Bey have gotten to the twins before Nicki.

I see Bey in the rocking chair feeding Blue, making a smile spread across my lips and heart melt. I grab Lily from her bassinet and the second she feels me, she stops crying. Her huge, almond shaped eyes look up at me as she gives me a gummy smile.

"Good morning, mamas." I kiss all over her face, making her squeal in excitement. "Good morning, mi otha babies." I bend down and kiss Blue's head before pecking Bey.

"Good morning, reine. Lily's bottle is in the warmer." I smile and nod before walking over with Lily to get her pre-pumped bottle and go to our rocking chair.

She starts moving and kicking her legs in excitement when the bottle touches her lips. Both Bey and I giggle at her little chunky butt, and I think our laughter is what made Nicki wake up. I'm assuming since she didn't feel our bodies next to hers, it scared her because she shot up in bed so quick. Her wide, scared eyes landed on us, and I watched relief wash over her.

"Morning, princess."

"Morning, behbey."

"Good morning." She sheepishly replies before stretching.

When she crawls to the edge of the bed, I watch as she carefully gets out of it, like she's scared or something. I look at Bey who looks away from Nicki to me with a confused look before we both look back at her.

When she finally gets out of bed and stands up, it's like she was bracing herself to fall. Nicki looks over at us, and her face instantly turns red when she sees us staring at her.

"What was that, baby?" Bey asks with a small chuckle.

"I thought... I thought my legs were gonna give out like they usually did after a night of... you know."

Bey and I start laughing but quickly stop when the babies fuss from our movement. "Its not funny." Nicki pouts before playfully glaring at us and walking to the bathroom.

I hear the toilet flush and then the sink before hearing the swishing of her toothbrush moments later. When she emerges from the bathroom, her face is back to its normal color.

She walks over to us, giving the babies each a soft kiss on their foreheads before kissing me and then Bey.

"Are you hungry?" She looks at Bey as her fingers run through Blue's little fro.

"Eh, kinda." She shrugs slightly before looking back down at Blue who's finished with her bottle. Putting her over her shoulder, Bey begins to burp her.

"I'm gonna go put an order in with Geoffrey and grab us a bag." We both smile and nod at her before she leaves the room.

I hear the air sucking through the bottle and look down at Lily getting frustrated that she doesn't have any more food. I take the bottle out with a small laugh before putting her on my shoulder to burp her too.

She started fussing again and just as I'm about to stand up and walk around to calm her down, Blue reaches her hand out towards Lily. Lily lifts her head off my shoulder and reaches her hand out. Bey and I lean closer to each other, and Lily stops fussing the second their skin touches.

The girls eyes connected, and they stare at each other for a few minutes. Bey and I look at each other with our eyes wide and mouths open. "Can you hear em?" I ask Bey softly.
