A Midnight Mess

Chapter Eleven

One year later

"Happy Birthday, Eric and Ella!" The family shouted to the two birthday twins sitting in their high chairs in the living room.

They were surrounded by colourful gifts and decorations. The whole Possible and Stoppable families were in the room, clapping and wishing the two happy birthday with delight. The atmosphere was certainly magical.

"One year old already!" Kim chuckled. She was wearing a silky, black dress that showed off her curves which Ron adored.

"It flies by fast!" Ron replied with a smile. He was wearing a grey suit with a black tie to match Kim’s dress.

Jim and Tim walked up to Kim and Ron holding a gift wrapped in green wrapping paper. Jim was wearing a blue suit with a white shirt and Tim was wearing a red suit with white shirt. Both wore black, shiny bow ties.

Eric and Ella both had blonde hair and blue eyes. The pair were wearing matching outfits on their first birthday.

Ella was wearing a velvet black dress with white frilly socks and black pumps. Eric was wearing a white shirt with black dungarees and black baby shoes.

"They look precious. Shall we take photos?" Ron's mother asked with pure joy.

"Yes!” Kim's mother replied with delight.

Some of the family members took photos of the twins, then Kim and Ron took a twin each and held them comfortable. Rufus jumped on Ron's shoulder and joined in and they had photos took of them all together.

The twins started crying and it was time to feed them. Ron and Kim placed them back into their high chairs and Kim's father headed to the kitchen to get some baby food for the twins.

"Here you go, kiddywinks." Kim's father chuckled, handing Eric and Ella their food which they looked happy to see.

Kim and Ron took a seat beside the two. Kim took Eric and Ron took Ella and they both fed their children. Of course it isn't easy going like you see on most movies. The babies wouldn't eat it at first until Kim and Ron started making silly noises. The family took pictures of the moment for memories.

Hours later after playing party games and taking pictures, everyone but the possible family left. But before Ron's mother and father left, his father had something to say.

"Ron, can we speak to you outside for a moment." Kim's father asked, looking rather annoyed.

Ron gulped and walked outside with his parents. He didn’t know what he could have done wrong.

Kim looked worried at her parents as she held Ella and her father held Eric. Her mother was cleaning up and her brothers were in the room helping clean up.

"What do you think he wants, dad?" Kim asks with worry. Ella was sleeping, her head resting on Kim’s shoulder. Kim swayed to soothe Ella.

"I have no idea, but don't worry. Let's go and put these two to sleep and then we'll see, okay?" Kim's father replied, Eric sat in his arms asleep with his thumb in his mouth.

Kim nodded and they two took the twins to bed carefully, making sure not to wake them.

"Son, I think it's inappropriate that you have had children at your age." Ron's father firmly said, looking down at Ron.

"Well, it's not my fault! It happened because of one drunken night. I had sex with a girl who back then I didn't know." Ron replied, trying not to feel intimidated by his dad who was much taller than he was.

"You dare to back chat me? That is no excuse. You should have behaved!” his father stated. “You could be working hard and having a good life right now!"

"Honey, he is only nineteen and is still learning," Ron's mother said to her husband, defending Ron. “It’s been a year. Why are you upset now?”
