A/N This is a probable one shot, if you want it to live, review any thoughts or comments. I know that Jace is like Jade in my other story. REVIEW
Eli's POV
I woke up, barely noticing the difference from sleep. I saw Julia in my dreams, and nothing else mattered but her. But she was gone, and the two reminders in the next room were my only reason for staying alive. One of the said reminders began to cry in the next room, and it broke my heart. I didn't like them crying. I was overprotective of them, but they were my children. Mine and Julia's.
I walked into the twin's room as my other daughter stirred in her crib; I picked up Jace and rocked her, desperately trying to soothe her. They were eleven months old, and I loved with all my heart. Julia had left me for ten months, and then she had returned. She had told me about my daughters, and we argued. She left, only to get hit by a car. The twins were given to me shortly after that, and that's how the story goes. I remember staring in belief at the birth certificates. Jace Alexia Goldsworthy, Jordan Amelia Goldsworthy. After that, I fell in love with my kids. It was hard, being a single parent, but it was worth it. I smiled down at Jace, and she smiled up at me. She had my eyes and Julia's hair color. Jordan looked exactly the same, and it amazed me the girls had not been declared identical.
I scooped up my daughters and took them downstairs to breakfast. I sat them both down on the carpet and got out two jars of baby food. I picked up Jordan and put her in her high chair just as Clare walked in the door. "Hey, beautiful." I said, grinning up at my girlfriend. Me and Clare had started dating shortly after Julia's death, right before the twins were given to me. Clare loved the twins, and the past eleven months had been great. I missed Julia, and was battling depression, but Clare really helped me. She kissed my forehead and then kissed Jordan's. "Hello, Eli. Hello Jordan, hello Jace." She murmured, kissing each of our heads. She scooped Jace up off the carpet as she tried to crawl away and hugged her. "Cawe!" Jace said, her baby voice still not being able to pronounce Clare. I smiled, Jace was so bright. "Kid's going to go to Harvard, I swear." I said, as I tried to make my hand mimic an airplane for Jordan. Jordan chomped down happily on the spoon and I congratulated her. "See? That wasn't so hard now, was it?" I asked.
It was Saturday, so I didn't have to go to school. Cece and Bullfrog would take the girls during the day so that way I could get my diploma. It was like I got stabbed every time I dropped them off. I loved my daughters so much, and they meant the world to me. I could hardly bear being away from them for so long, missing small chunks of their day. But eventually, all those small chunks added up, and doing the math, I was missing days from their childhood. At least they lived with me. I had my own apartment now, and the girls lived with me. Clare cuddled Jace as I fed Jordan. When Jordan was finished she looked up at me. "Dada." She said. A flood of warmth rushed through my body. I loved whenever she said that. She knew that I was her dad and that I'd always be here for her. I kissed her forehead. "I love you so much, baby girl." I murmured against her pale, perfect skin. Clare smiled at me as she kissed Jace.
*An hour later*
We were finally ready to go to the beach. I was putting Jace in her seat, smiling. She looked just like Julia. A small twinge of pain went through my body, but I smiled. Jace looked up at me with her green eyes. Her complexions were perfect. Dark curls, dark barely noticeable eyebrows, pink perfect lips, chubby cheeks, emerald colored eyes and a faint blush. I set the baby bag in the backseat, in between the two car seats. A few towels, diapers, wipes, pacifiers, changes of clothes, and hats so that way the babies wouldn't get sunburned. It was June, and school let out next Friday. Clare got into Morty's passenger side and smirked up at me, her blue eyes shining behind her sunglasses. I couldn't wait to get her blouse and skinny jeans off and see her bikini.
Clare and I had been dating since right after Julia died, and she loved Jace and Jordan immediately. But really, everyone did. They were just so beautiful, and so perfect it amazed me. Every time I looked at them my jaw dropped. I loved them so much. Me and Clare pulled up to the beach and it wasn't crowded at all. That was weird. I got out of Morty and went the backseat of the car. I opened the door and unbuckled Jordan from her car seat. I gently set her feet on the ground and she immediately started to walk. She was getting fast, too. I gently held her hands as she stumbled to the other side of the car. After getting Jace out of the car, Clare and I helped the girls down to the beach. I took off my skinny jeans to reveal the swimming shorts underneath them and took off my shirt as Clare spread out a blanket for the babies to sit on. Jace wanted to go in the water, so we took them both in. I sat down in water that was about a foot and a half deep, with Clare beside me.
Jace sat on my lap and Jordan sat on Clare's. Jace splashed me and started to giggle. "Dada." She said happily, trying to give me a hug. Jace gave everyone hugs. Me, Clare, Adam, our neighbors, and once a puppy. She loved hugs. I kissed her forehead as Jordan splashed in Clare's arms. I tightened my grip on Jace, not wanting her to go any deeper. And that's what we did for the rest of the day. Me and my family played at the beach, and I wanted it to be this way forever. For me and Clare to have forever together, for the girls to never grow up. I grinned as I realized what I had just thought. My family.
A/N A little short, but okay. The next one will be better. I will not write another one if I don't get reviews. This was considered to be a one shot anyway. So review you guys! I have great ideas for this story!
