Chapter 20: Prepare

Hanji's POV

Levi's concert went well... and he was already reserved for another one in a month. Now, I could bring the twins with me for that time. The girls could hear their father's music- only through earmuffs. Who knows how badly that loud music can damage their developing eardrums. Just hearing that kinda made my heart flutter. 

"You got a suspicious grin on your face... should I be worried?"

I turned to see Levi walking into the living room with his usual cup of black tea. "Just thinking about your next concert... and how we're gonna have the twins there. Think of it, them listening to your music- live!"

"Ah... well..." Levi chuckled softly, kissing both of the twins' foreheads. The twins were busy trying to crawl on the carpeted floor. Well... I put them in this fortress of pillows. "We'll see how they'll react in that month. But for now, let's think about us."

"Us? What about us?"

He then pointed to my ring finger, "That still shows you're engaged to me. You sure you want to wait until we actually get a wedding or... we can just elope and stuff like that. It's all up to you. However you want to do this."

Leaning onto him, I sighed softly. "We can just elope... it's fine. We don't exactly need a big wedding. Just you and I... Nanaba, Farlan, and Isabel... maybe we can squeeze the twins in. I don't mind it at all. I don't mind that it's not traditional."

"Alright then... we can do it tomorrow. You don't mind if I leave you with the twins for now? I'll get Farlan and the both of us will go out shopping."

"At least say goodbye to your twins before you leave."

With that, Levi went to the twins, kissing their foreheads once more. I swear I heard them cooing softly at that gesture. "Be good to your mother... alright girls? Daddy'll come back." Then he advanced onto me, planting a kiss on my lips. "I won't be long. That's a promise."

"Alright then."

Levi's POV

"Why does it seem easier in movies? Marrying someone didn't seem this difficult." I began to complain after Farlan and I spent an hour at the mall. My hand fell on my face as stress continued to break my mind. "Ugh..."

"To be fair, movies are just... unrealistic events that happens. Nothing is ever that perfect." He replies to me, chuckling. "And besides, look at the progress you've made already. You already got yourself a good... ugh... tuxedo...? No need to pick a ring for Hanji-"

"Still, I need one. I'm not sure if I should... get it myself or have her pick one out."

"Ask her when we get back. Since we're kinda empty-handed at the moment, why not get some food? I think Isabel wants some Chinese take-out. Whatcha think Hanji wants for dinner?"

I rolled my eyes, walking into a children's store. "I don't know..."

"I think you're spoiling your twins now..." Farlan said it with a tone of doubt when he saw me walk in. "You let Hanji buy so many things for them- and now you? Scares me to think that you'll be that kind of parent."

"I'm not buying them anymore toys. They need those... teething things. I'm not even sure when they start getting that, so... minus well get prepared. I rather not wake up in the middle of the night to hear them crying because their teeth hurts." 

Farlan rolled his eyes with a chuckle. "My my... haven't you been changing lately."

"Shut up, okay?"

Hanji's POV

"Finally, they got to their nap, haven't they?" Nanaba says with a chuckle as I collapsed next to her on the couch. "Kinda sucks to have twins that do that, right? Heard their non-stop crying all the away here."

I pushed her gently, laying my head on my pillow. "It's annoying that one gets perfectly quiet, and when I get the other one to sleep, the first twin will wake and start crying. Then the second one will start crying. Of course, I gotta do the whole process again. Just glad they're able to get their nap now."

"Mhm. Anyways... what do you think the guys are doing now?" Isabel asks with a curious expression as she turned the TV on. "They've been gone for almost 2 hours. Hanji, did Levi-Bro say anything when he left with Farlan?"

"As I said, Isabel," I turned over, seeing her switch through multiple channels, "they said they were gonna go shopping. We were... planning to elope."

"Don't they know that the wife-to-be is supposed to pick out her husband's wedding ring?" Silence just filled me up... how idiotic was I to not know that?! "Levi and Farlan are wasting their time... honestly, they should've been here with the twins while the three of us went shopping." Isabel complained.

"Still... I wouldn't want to be away from my twins, Isabel." 

Nanaba chuckled, pushing me a bit. "Levi gets to have his day with his twins. While he's struggling with them, you can hang out with us and have a fun time that way."

"As you stated, Nana, Levi will be struggling. Besides, I can't breast-feed them-"

Isabel chuckled as she rose her hand. "Put the milk in the bottle and tell Levi to feed them that way! Farlan's also there to help Levi feed the twins. Stop making up terrible excuses, Hanji! Besides, in this household, the girls overwhelm the guys! Thanks to the twins."

We all let a chuckle loose when we thought of that. "Oh... those boys will be under our thumbs for awhile..." I say, laughing softly. "But I doubt they would like that. They would lose... their masculinity. They need to be tough and stuff like that."

"Aw... we girls can control them..."

"Word!" Nanaba chuckled, leaning her head on my shoulder. "Tomorrow, it's settled. The boys stay home to take care of the baby girls and we girls can go shopping. And since they're wasting their time... we can waste our time."

"Alright fine..." I surrendered to them, "Before we leave, I gotta leave... 8 bottles of milk...? Or is that too much?"

"8? It sounds like a lot... but then... split it into two, it's 4 per twin." Nanaba sighed heavily. "Though... can you really produce 8 bottles of milk? Maybe we shouldn't waste our time tomorrow. The twins' only food source is you- but more reason for you to eat all day tomorrow."

"Nana!"
