Baby Bottles & Lullabies

Nathan's POV:

Kayla and I woke up a few hours later to the twins crying. We both walked into the nursery. I picked up Alexander and Kayla picked up Anna-Grace. Kayla and I walked into the living room and sat the two on the couch as they coninued to cry and crouched in front of them,

"What's wrong babies? Are you hungry?" I asked. I signing the sign for hungry in sign language, which was holding my hand over my chest and moving it downwards. Kayla and I were using this system for the babies until they were able to talk. Anna-Grace and Alexander did the same motion towards the two of us but in a kind of distorted way.

Kayla nodded and went to go make their bottles while I tried to calm the twins down by making funny faces, succeeding by earning a few giggles. There was a knock on the door. I looked to the door for a second before looking back at the babies,

"Come in!" I yelled. The door opened and the boys walked in. They laughed at the sight of the three of us,

"Having fun?" Tom asked. I chuckled,

"Yeah, Kayla's making them bottles." I said. A few minutes later Kayla came into the room with two bottles of milk. She gave me Anna-Grace's bottle and we both sat on either side of them and held the bottles up to their mouths as they slowly drank,

"So what's new with you two?" Siva asked. Kayla shrugged. As did I,

"Nothing really new...wedding planning, we went to the gym earlier and my mum watched the babies. That's about it." I said. The boys nodded. I felt an emptiness in my hand. I looked down and the Anna was holding her own bottle. Alexander soon took his bottle from Kayla as well. The boys awed as I jogged to the bedroom and came back to the living room with the Polaroid camera,

"Smiled kiddos..."I whispered. I snapped the picture and Kayla stood up to look at it. We both smiled,

"That's going in the scrapbook." Kayla said. I quickly showed the boys. After they all looked at it Kayla pulled the scrapbook out and put it in the page we had decorated for their first time holding their bottles. Page 12 after their first smiles.

We continued to talk about everything that was going on with us. As well as the boys helping us write down who we were going to be inviting to the wedding, we already had 300 people written up for invites. After Anna and Alexander finished eating Jay and Max offered to burp them. Kayla have them baby cloths to put on their shoulders,

"Just to warn you they might spit up." I warned. They nodded and started to try and burp them. I sat down and pulled Kayla into my lap. She was looking at the list of people we were going to invite to the wedding. The list was about an even mixture of both of our families and very close friends. One name confused me a bit. Kayla had never told me about him before,

"Kayla baby who's Jackson Rogers?" I asked. Kayla smiled a bit,

"He was my music teacher, he taught me to play all the instruments I know how to play today." She said quietly. I smiled. It was cute how much she appreciated people who helped her get to where she was today,

"How many instruments do you know how to play?" Tom asked. Jay and Max were now playing with the babies while they giggled. Kayla thought for a moment,

"Accordion, Acoustic guitar, Cello, Clarinet, Drums, Electric guitar, Flute, French Horn, Harp, Oboe, Piano, Piccolo, Recorder, Saxophone, Tambourine, Violin, and the Xylophone." She said. Everyone's eyebrows were raised except mine 2 months after Kayla and I started dating she had told me this. I wasn't surprised. I kissed Kayla's cheek.

The boys announced they had to go, they all had to meet their girlfriends. Max and Jay got very nice girls. Jays girlfriend was Julie and Max's girlfriend was Katherine. Kayla liked her name because it was her middle name. She was so cute. Kayla, not Katherine, although she was nice and everything.

Kayla and I gave the babies baths before we were rocking the babies to sleep in the nursery while Kayla and I sang:

"A la nanita nana nanita ella, nanita ella

Mi nina tiene sueno bendito sea,bendito sea

A la nanita nana nanita ella, nanita ella

Mi nina tiene sueno bendito sea,bendito sea

Fuentecita que corre clara y sonora

Ruisenor que en la selva

Cantando y llora

Calla mientras la cuna se balansea

A la nanita nana nanita ella

A la nanita nana nanita ella

Nanita ella

Mi nina tiene sueno bendito

Sea, bendito sea

Fuentecita que carre clara y sonora

Ruisenor que en la selva

Cantando y llora

Calla mientras la cuna se balansea

A la nanita nana nanita ella"

They fell asleep just as we laid them in their cribs. Kayla and I stood together as we looked at the babies sleeping peacefully. Kayla and I went back to the bedroom and started to get ready for bed. Kayla took off her clothes, leaving her in her bra and panties. She pulled her hair up into a ponytail with a baby blue ribbon. I changed from my shorts into sweatpants.

We brushed our teeth. I went back into the bedroom while Kayla took off her makeup and washed her face. Kayla walked into the bedroom and got all snug under the covers next to me. We fell asleep watching I Didn't Know I was Pregnant.
