Chapter 2

Sacagawea was released from the hospital a few days after the twins were born. That meant Teddy had to figure out how to install not one, but two, baby car seats in his Chevy Sonic. What disasters could that bring? A lot.

So far Teddy only figure out how to put the base into the car seat.

"How am I supposed to put the seatbelts on?" Teddy wondered aloud.

The instruction manual wasn't that much help. At all. Teddy tried to loop the seatbelt in the belt path. He managed to get his hand trapped in the black seat belt.

"Teddy, darling, are you having problems with the car seats?" Sacagawea asked as she walked out of the hospital.

"Yes, my dear. Can you please help me free my hand?" Teddy explained.

"Yes," Sacagawea answered as she set the twins in the passenger seat as she began unlooping the seatbelt around her husband's hand.

"Thank you, my dear. I will get back to working on the car seats," Teddy thanked as he continued working.

10 minutes later…

"Teddy, do you need help?" Sacagawea questioned.

"No, my love, I think I have it," Teddy said in a non- convincing tone.

"I'm coming back there," Sacagawea stated as she handed Teddy the twins, "Hold Kima and Robin."

In a matter of 2 minutes, Sacagawea installed the car seat.

"How did you do that?" Teddy inquired in amazement.

"Motherly instinct," Sacagawea smirked, "And I read the instruction manual."

"I'm just impressed, I couldn't understand a word it was saying," Teddy mused.

Sacagawea blushed, "I could teach you how."

"Sounds like a fabulous idea, my dear," Teddy smiled.

So, Sacagawea taught Teddy how to install a baby car seat. He completed the task with definite ease.

"Teddy, was this an excuse to hold my hand?" Sacagawea wondered, referring to the times Teddy held onto her hand while she was helping him.

"Well- um," Teddy blushed as he quickly looked away.

"That's what I thought," Sacagawea smiled as she and Teddy put Kima and Robin in their car seats.

Sacagawea and Teddy got into their seats up front: Teddy in the driver's seat and Sacagawea riding shotgun. They drove to their house, which was actually pretty big. Well, it had to be if a lot of the happy couple's museum friends wanted to come over at night. They finally arrived at the house and Teddy and Sacagawea carried the tiny, newborn twins into the house. This would be the first night that they would spend at home. Alone. With the twins. That will definitely be interesting…

"Honey, I think the twins are hungry," Sacagawea guessed when Robin and Kima started crying.

"Ok, let's get them food, I don't want to see my little babies crying anymore," Teddy gushed.

Sacagawea smiled as Teddy kissed the top of the twins' heads, attempting to make them stop.

"Oh, Teddy how sweet," Sacagawea commented, "I guess I'll warm up their bottles."
Sacagawea began to warm up the milk bottles. Teddy sat at the dining room table and rocked the twins back and forth in his big, strong arms. This was his effort in comforting the crying Kima and Robin. A few minutes later, the bottles were warmed up. Sacagawea handed one to Teddy to start feeding Robin, after the happy couple set each twin in their designated baby high chair.

Robin really seemed to enjoy her bottle of milk. Kima… not so much. Kima was trying to spit out her bottle. Sacagawea gingerly took it out of her oldest daughter's mouth. Sacagawea lifted Kima out of the highchair and set her onto her lap.

"Shh, shh," Sacagawea comforted as she rubbed circles on Kima's back.

"Sacagawea, I am finished feeding Robin what do I do now?" Teddy asked.

"You burp her, Teddy," Sacagawea replied.

"How do I do that?" Teddy wondered.

"You just put her on your shoulder and pat her back very softly," Sacagawea replied.

"Thanks," Teddy thanked as he began to burp his youngest daughter.

"You're welcome," Sacagawea replied.

Kima stopped crying.

"Do you want to try your food again?" Sacagawea wondered as she got the bottle for the second time.

Kima drank it this time. That was a shocker. Sacagawea just has that calming effect on people.

"Um, darling, what's that smell?" Teddy sniffed the air.

"Teddy, I think it's coming from Robin's diaper," Sacagawea chuckled.

"Oh," Teddy rushed to the changing table they set up in the hallway.

"This I have to see," Sacagawea smirked as she went with Kima to watch Teddy struggle with diaper changing.

Teddy managed to get it off. A few disturbed faces later… He just couldn't seem to figure out which way you were supposed to fold the diaper. But with the guidance of Sacagawea, he figured it out.

"Sacagawea, I'm not very good at this," Teddy frowned.

"Teddy, look me in the eyes," Sacagawea instructed.

Teddy looked into Sacagawea's dark brown eyes.

"Teddy you are a great father; you just aren't used to doing this stuff yet. I promise you, you are an amazing father already and over time you'll only improve," Sacagawea encouraged.

"Thanks for the pep talk," Teddy smiled.

Sacagawea smiled back and planted a kiss to Mr. President's lips. Then, Sacagawea broke off their kiss and carried the twins into their nursery. Sacagawea set the two bundles of baby joy into each of their cribs. Teddy walked in and planted a kiss on the top of Kima and Robin's heads, as did Sacagawea.

"Ok, twins, time for a lullaby," Sacagawea smiled.

"Ooh! Mommy's going to sing us a lullaby," Teddy joked.

Sacagawea gave her husband a playful smack on the arm.

Lay by my side, and we'll sail away

Off to the shores of another day

All set to go once I hear you say

Goodnight my friend, until the morning.

Up we will float as we close our eyes

Stars all around us like fireflies

Just me and you drifting through the skies

Goodnight my friend.

Not a thought

Not a care

Resting safe and sound

With each other there

And so we'll rock on a nighttime ride

Cozy and warm on the rolling tide

Till we arrive on the morning side

Our journey's end

Goodnight

Sleep tight

We're gonna be alright

Goodnight my friend

"Good night, my babies; I love you," Sacagawea cooed as she finished her song.

"Good night, lovelies," Teddy smiled.

The happy couple kissed the tops of the twins' heads. Sacagawea turned the baby monitor on. They left the nursery room and retired to their own bedroom.

"Sacagawea, that was a lovely song," Teddy complimented.

"Thank you, Teddy; I thought the kids would enjoy it," Sacagawea thanked.

After Sacagawea and Teddy went to sleep, Sacagawea heard crying. It was coming from the baby monitor. She shook Teddy.

"Teddy, one of the twins is crying," Sacagawea alerted the sleeping Teddy as she leaped out of bed.

They rushed into the nursery to find Robin crying.

"Shh, shh," Sacagawea comforted.

Then she smelled an awful odor.

"Looks like she needs her diaper changed," Sacagawea concluded as she took Robin to their changing station.

She quickly took off Robin's stinky diaper and replaced it with a fresh one. Sacagawea handed Robin over to Teddy who placed her back in her crib. A few minutes later, Kima woke up crying. She woke up with the exact same problem Robin had. Teddy changed his oldest daughter's diaper. Teddy and Sacagawea went to bed. For now. Kima woke up crying a few hours later.

"Teddy, the twins are crying. Again," Sacagawea informed.

"Alright," Teddy said as they hopped out of bed.

This time Kima was hungry. So Sacagawea heated up the milk and Teddy fed her. Then, they tried to go back to sleep. Robin started crying as soon as they got back in bed though. Teddy and Sacagawea got straight out of bed and fed Robin.

"See, Teddy, I told you that you would be a great father," Sacagawea smiled.

"That you did," Teddy remembered as he slipped into bed.

A few hours later Robin and Kima started to cry. This is going to be a long night…

Author's Note: Hey readers! I'm probably going to try updating on Thursdays. We'll see how that works out. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Remember, all reviews are appreciated, and I'd love to hear from you. The song was "Goodnight My Friend" from Galavant. Have a good day/ afternoon/ night! :) ;) :)
