A soft cry sounded, became louder and barely ten seconds after that another cry sounded. Matt jumped out of bed, running to the baby room and walked to the beds. Carefully he lifted Lauren op.
''Hey little girl, are you hungry?'' He whispered and he walked back to their own bedroom, Gabby taking Lauren from him and he walked back, lifting Aiden up, who was immediately calm as his father lifted him up. He just looked at his father with his bright blue eyes and his hand hit Matt against his shirt. Matt knew that while the twins were only two weeks old, they couldn't see them well enough to recognize them, but according to Gabby's mom they could recognize him and Gabby by their smell.
''Whoah, calm your diaper, I'll bring you to mommy and your sister.'' Matt laughed as the tiny boy started to flounder in his arms to tell his daddy he was hungry. Gabby was feeding Lauren,.
''Will feed Lauren first.'' She said, holding the baby a little awkward. Matt felt a little guilty as he knew he should have bought the pillow she asked him so she would be able to feed the twins at once. But his mind went completely blank when he walked into the story with baby supplies and he hadn't been able to find it. He sat down on the bed by Gabriela, rocking Aiden in his arms and looking as the little boy kept moving his tiny hands, waiting to be fed and now he knew what Andy meant when he was talking about the way holding your own children is something magical. He looked side as Gabriela was feeding Lauren and Aiden started to cry, as the little baby was still hungry.
Matt started to doze off as he hadn't been sleeping full night for the last two weeks and slowly his head fell sideways, against Gabriela's shoulder and he sat up again.
''Go to sleep, I can manage these two.'' Gabriela said but Matt shook his head, knowing walking still wasn't really comfortable for her. ''I will bring them back to bed.'' He said as he took Lauren from her and she took Aiden. The switching of babies had almost become a habit. Just like managing the two babies. At first they had been very worried that they wouldn't be able to care for two at the same time, but they were managing really well now.
''We can also let them sleep in our bed.''
Worried Matt looked aside: ''What if something happens.''
''Babe, we are basically statues when we are sleep, we won't roll on them.'' Gabriela said, especially as Matt nearly didn't move when he was asleep. The first night they has slept together, she had checked his pulse to see if he was still alive and Matt nodded, sliding down under the blanket a bit, Lauren sleeping on his chest.
''You are a lucky girl, sleeping with a man as handsome as your daddy.'' Gabby said as she looked how Lauren was sleeping on his chest and Matt closed his eyes as well.
''Goodnight.'' He smiled at Gabby. He felt Lauren being lifted of his chest and he looked at Gabby.
''She should sleep on her back.'' Gabby said with a smile as she laid Lauren between the two of them on their bed and made sure the blanket was not in the way. Matt laid down again as well, close to the baby girl and he finally fell asleep.
Gabriela looked as her boyfriend was finally asleep and she knew she would stay awake to make sure nothing would happen to the babies, but he had lacked so much sleep she just wanted him to sleep for one night, as he hardly had been the last two weeks. Besides, as he was up and running the whole day, she would get some sleep during the day. She smiled as he was sleeping just as peacefully as the little baby beside him.
Also, Matt had to go to shift again this morning and the liked the cherish the time they had together as a family before going to shift. Her mom would come here to help her with the babies untill his shift was over and she knew she would be able to manage the night feeding. Matt had offered to take some time off, but they knew they couldn't afford it right now and besides, she could manage herself for those hours he was at shift.
As she was done feeding Aiden she laid him down beside his baby sister and laid down on her side, her head leaning against his head as she enjoyed the view of the two little babies. Lauren was asleep and Aiden's eyes slowly fell shut too.
While she kept enjoying the view the sunlight started to shine through the window and not much later Matt wake up again. He sat up as well and looked at the babies, still smiling.
''Aiden has your features.'' Gabriela smiled, looking at the little boy.
''How are you so sure yet?'' Matt smiled back. The little boy kicked with his legs, as if he knew they were talking about him. But he kept on sleeping and Gabriela pointed at the way the way the baby's eyebrows went, as well as his chin that already visible a little bit.
''I am not convinced.'' Matt smiled, looking at the little boy.
''He will be a little Matthew...I am sure.'' Gabriela whispered back.
''Lauren has your eyes.'' Matt whispered, afraid to wake the little sleeping babies.
''Just because she has brown eyes?''
''Nobody in my family has brown eyes.'' Matt explained and his finger tenderly caressed over his little daughter's head. When he wanted to pull his finger back and lay his hand next to his body again Lauren suddenly grabbed his finger. Matt looked at the girl for a few seconds, surprised and then at Gabby, who smiled at him with a big smile.
''It's a reflex.''
Mats dumb tenderly caressed the little fingers that were clutched around his index finger and he felt tears filling his eyes.
''I think she is looking for protection from her big strong daddy.'' Gabby smiled and Aiden kicked with his legs again.
''I think he wants some attention from his pretty mommy.'' Matt chuckled and Gabriela laid her finger Aiden's hand and slowly the boy's fingers closed around his mothers fingers.
''Don't steal my girl, little one.'' Matt smiled and he and Gabriela moved a bit more backward, not moving their fingers as the leaned more on their pillows and against each other, looking at the two little miracles that were sleeping peacefully between them, brother and sister against each other and both holding their parents.
