(Liam)
The kiss only lasted about a minute. Rachel started whining for her mum and dad. We got up and went to the twins' room. I went and picked up Rachel before Sophia could even say "I got it." She giggled at me and let me, because she wanted to hold Austin. Plus it was my turn to hold the most gorgeous little girl in the world. She looked so much like her mother.

I cradled her and put a hand on her beautiful cheek. She smiled at me. Her eyes lit up. She knew I was daddy. I smiled and spoke softly to her. "Good morning miss Rachel. Did you have a good nap?"

She babbled a little.

"That's good. I love naps. They help you catch up on all your sleep."

She babbled more.

"They're enjoyable. Especially a snack after a nap."

She babbled something that sounded like 'yes dad.'

I smiled brightly. I took a picture of her on my phone. Then I handed her to Sophia because Sophia was requesting to feed her. I didn't want to starve my Rachel.

I went to Austin and picked him up. Hi eyes fluttered open with anticipation. He looked like he couldn't wait to explore the world. I couldn't wait for him to learn to talk and walk. I want to see what's going on inside his brain and where he wants to go. I smiled and kissed his head. "What about you Austin? Hmm? Have a good nap?"

He babbled on and on and on. He just couldn't seem to shut his mouth.

"Wow! Well you need to sleep more then!"

Austin babbled in agreement.

"Sophiiiiaaaaaa he wants to sleep more!!"

"No he doesn't Liam he just woke up." She said softly, as Rachel was still eating.

"He just told me. He wants to go back to sleep. That nap wasn't sufficient enough for him."

"Liam. He's fine."

"No Soph he's fallin asleep right now." It was true. He was nodding off in my arms.

"Fine. Put him down for a nap."

I nodded and put Austin down in his crib so he could go to sleep.
