Wilhelmina rolled over in her bed lazily, her hands stretching outward as she yawned. Connor, still in his sleep, leaned over and wrapped his arms around her stomach, pulling her closer. She dipped lower in the bed and snuggled her head against his chest allowing herself to catch a few more seconds of sleep before having to succumb to the screeches of two rowdy toddler.
"Daddy!" Kai screamed from the nursery.
Wilhelmina snickered in her slumber. "Your daughter's calling."
Connor yawned. "Oh so today she's my daughter but yesterday when she figured out the difference between faux and real fur she was your baby."
"Last time I checked, I was Mommy." Wilhelmina replied sleepily, an obvious smirk on her face through her tone.
Connor sighed and flipped the covers off of him, shivering slightly. He pulled the covers up to Wilhelmina and kissed her softly. "I don't know how you can sleep in here...it's freezing"
"Oh happy wife, happy life."Wilhelmina mumbled as she turned in the bed.
5 minutes later Connor returned with both girls, one on each hip. Nia, being the spitting image of Wilhelmina, her hair natural curly and dark brown. Instantly she jumped out of Connor's arms and toddled towards Wilhelmina. Slowly she slid under the covers and cuddled up next to Wilhelmina, reaching her hand on her face to wake her up.
"Mommy.." Nia called out softly.
Wilhelmina whined fakely. "Mommy's tired."
"So is haf' 'da worl." Kai spoke up, the femilish Connor. Her eyes screamer DANGER BABY and went right along with her light brown, naturally straight hair that cupped her petite face. She clung to Connor's neck and held on tightly.
Wilhelmina pointed in Kai's direction. "You need to stop hanging out with Amanda."
"Food, FOOD, FOOD!" Nia chanted, pounding her tiny fists onto the pulsh comforter.
Wilhelmina pointed in Nia's direction. "And you need to stop hangin out with Betty."
Wilhelmina wiped at her eyes and shed the covers from atop of her.
Connor set Kai down on the bed and offered a moderately pregnant Wilhelmina a hand. "C'mon love."
Wilhelmina stood up slowly, her hand resting on her 5 month pregnant belly.
"Ready for the day?" Connor asked sweetly, still holding onto her other hand.
"As always." Wilhelmina replied, practically still asleep. She leaned in to kiss him and he responded by pulling her in, gently resting his lips on hers.
"Ewww swappin' spit." Kai screeched.
"It's love!" Nia retaliated.
Wilhelmina laughed and looked to Connor.
"They definitely need new buddies."
"Okay, Nia's asthma therapy is at 3, Your Doctors appointment was at 11 but you were late so it's been rescheduled to 2 tomorrow. The party planner for the girl's 2nd birthday wants to meet with you tomorrow as well at 4 o'clock, right after you pick up Kai from her Haute Cotoure playgroup at 3:30. Stellas called yesterday and is willing to give you a 2000 dollar gift card if you endorse their cashmere diapers tomorrow morning at 8 at their new location. You have a meeting with Cliare in 5 minutes-"
"About what?" Wilhelmina finally interjected as they walked through the tunnel.
Marc sighed. "Just smile and nod." Wilhelmina nodded. "Good...Just try the smiling part."
"Were's Connor?"
"Ad meeting with JJ La Coutre's people."
"Watch out!" Amanda yelled from the receptionist desk.
Instantly Wilhelmina moved to the side and watched as the twins zipped between them, speeding in their new Mercedes Barbie Car.
"Born Fwee!" Kai yelled as she turned a sharp corner in the hall.
"Mommy help!" Nia yelled desperately as she held onto the side of the car door.
"Girls don't go into the conference room!" Wilhelmina yelled, picking up speed in the girl's direction.
"Willie, what about your schedule!" Marc followed behind Wilhelmina as well.
"You see, by increasing your add buy, by about...7% you could increase your-" Connor turned around to see two Toddler Mercedes hurdling towards him, along with Wilhelmina and Marc following closely behind.
"KAI IVORY & NIA EBONY SLATER-OWENS-" Wilhelmina started scolding the two children.
"Are these your children?" JJ La Coutre asked seriously.
Connor gulped and nodded. "Yes Mam."
Her mouth suddenly curled into a smile. "They're adorable!" Ms. La Coutre squealed.
Wilhelmina stood shell-shocked, watching as each twin got out of the mini convertable and stood before JJ La Coutre.
Nia waived sweetly. "I'm Nia and this is Kai." She pointed in Kai's direction.
"And you are?" Kai asked her attitude quickly resembling Wilhelmina's
"Kai!" Wilhelmina called out from behind them.
Nia extended her hand."Mice to meet you."
The designer laughed. "Don't you mean NICE to meet you?"
"That's what she said." Kai retaliated before Nia even had a chance to respond.
Wilhelmina cautiously approached the trio and started to usher the girls out.
"Wilhelmina?" She called out.
Wilhelmina turned around and smiled weakly. "Yes?"
"Are these your children as well?" Wilhelmina nodded. "I just wanted to tell you...They are too cute!...You have me sold, I'll even double it to 14%"
"Your late." Claire stated as Wilhelmina entered her office.
"And your old." Wilhelmina replied, taking a seat across from Claire.
"I want to talk to you about the girls."
Wilhelmina shifted. "What about them?"
"Mode is a place of business, not a play group. They're distracting you from your work and detaining other employees from working as well. They take away from the hard-core aspect of Mode."
"Are these the same girls who spiked magazine sells in the last 2 years over 60%...The same girls that call you GamaMeade even though you have absolutely no relation to them and your son tried to put their father in jail. The same girls who just got JJ LaCoutre, the toughest advertiser than Atlantic Attire to increase add buy, by 14%?"
"Wilhelmina, they're a distraction, ripping through the halls like hoodlums-"
Wilhelmina stood up, hovering over Claire. "Let me make one thing perfectly clear, my children are my business and will not be referred to as anything beyond Kai and Nia ever.. again. And you are one fine example to be setting ground for parenting advice. What? Should Nia become Nathan and Kai start sleeping with men all Willy Nilly with the new baby just being born sucking on a bottle of Henessey?"
Claire was silent and Wilhelmina rolled her eyes. "I thought so."
Claire's eyes bored into Wilhelmina's back with anger. Bitch.
"Love you too Claire, Darling." Wilhelmina bellowed from the hallway.
Wilhelmina sighed as she came through the door with a tired Nia on her hip, followed by a Connor carrying an energetic Kai.
"Nico!" Wilhelmina called out, setting her keys on the coffee table.
Nico ran out, her hair with blue streaks spotted in her roots and tips.
"What the hell?" Wilhelmina screeched.
"I rather like it." Connor spoke from the kitchen.
"Cookie Munster." Nia pointed and clapped excitedly.
Kai snorted lightly, trying to contain her laughter. "Ha..smurf."
Wilhelmina huffed and settled down on the couch. "After today?...no comment."
Connor handed the girls each a sippy cup to their sitting position on the floor. He took off his jacket and tossed it to the edge of the couch.
"How was your appointment?" Nico asked.
"Didn't make it." Wilhelmina answered simply, running a hand through her hair.
Connor slipped under her propped up feet and began to massage them. "Wilhelmina.."
"I'm sorry...It was a long day."
"And apparently a long month because you didn't make it to your last appointment either."
"Next!...Nico how was your first day as a sophomore at NYU?" Wilhelmina asked changing the topic.
"Oh, My professor is sooooo fine, he-"
"Next!" Connor screeched desperately.
"Time for bed." Wilhelmina mumbled sleepily and swung her legs off Connor, pushing herself off the couch.
She swayed a bit, quickly catching herself on the armrest of the nearest chair.
"Willie?" Are you-" Connor asked with his arm now around her waist, balancing her.
"I'm fine...Just..stood up too quickly." Wilhelmina smiled reassuringly and Connor nodded clearly unconvinced.
"Uh...Nico why don't you put the girls to bed and I'll take care of your mom."
Nico nodded and Connor lifted Wilhelmina up, cradling her in his arms.
"Connor I'm fine." Wilhelmina slurred, falling asleep.
Connor ignored her, carrying his sleepy wife into the bedroom."Yeah, yeah...So is 'Haf da worl'"
