Eli's POV
Let me tell you right now that everything you ever heard about babies being cute and cuddly and adorable is true. Now, let me tell you everything that they don't tell you. The doctors and your parents don't tell you that you will be up every two hours every day and night for at least four months after your child is born, now try doubling that. They don't tell you that the woman that gave birth will be irritable and grumpy all the time from the hormones. They don't tell you that you will lose so many countless nights of sleep that your blood has turned to coffee, and that you will miss more meals than you can count. They don't tell you that if you're leaving to go to work, babies will always-always- throwup on you, making you late. They don't tell you that when one of the babies wakes up and cries, the other will to. They also don't tell you that it is worth every single second when you get that one moment when it's just your fiancée and you children. Jules and Jay-Jay, as we called them, were fast asleep on Clare and I's bed. Jay-Jay looks stunningly like her mother, with her perfect blue eyes and cinnamon hair. Her hair is just a little tuft at the moment, but we think it will grow in. Her brother has identical blue eyes and his hair is just a shade lighter. He has even less hair than his sister.
They were born so early that it looked like their features had been quickly sketched in, complete but incomplete. The babies had porcelain skin, like their mother. They just barely had light traces of eyebrows, but their eyelashes were thick and dark. They were perfect in every single way. I sighed in content as my fiancée snuggled up against me. We were getting married in a month, and I was so looking forward to it. The wedding, sure. But I was more intrigued by the honeymoon. Fiona's family, by some miracle, insisted on paying for our honeymoon in Hawaii. How cool is that? It was early morning, almost eight, and I knew that Fiona, Alli, and Helen would be over any minute to take Clare wedding dress shopping. I knew she was excited, even though she tried to tell me otherwise. I had such a fat paycheck rolling in from my bonus job of writing reviews that I could afford to let Clare buy an expensive dress. I kept telling her that price didn't matter, but she kept insisting that she would get something cheap. I also knew that if she found her dream dress, and that it was expensive, she would buy it. Adam would be over soon to help me write my vows, anyway.
Clare smiled up at me, her sapphire eyes twinkling, and I kissed her forehead. "I love you, Blue Eyes." I murmured. "I love you to, baby." She whispered, kissing me gently. Fireworks set off in my brain, and I shivered reflexively. My arms tightened around her as my phone rang. I opened it to hear Helen shrill voice in my ear. "Can you send Clare and Jaylin down please, Eli? Thanks." She said, not giving me a chance to talk. I hung up the phone and sighed as Clare got out of bed. She slipped her flip-flops on and picked up Jay-Jay. Helen didn't particularly care for our little nicknames, even though Clare did. She placed Jay in her little carrier as our baby squirmed slightly. Helen and Alli wanted to get a dress for her too, so that way she would fit in with the wedding atmosphere. Not that it would matter to her. "Have fun, Blue Eyes." I said. She smiled slightly looking down at our sleeping son. She mimicked my smirk and snickered, "Good luck, Eli." I gulped. Oh boy.
Clare's POV
I was picking my wedding dress today! I was so excited! I also had to pick a dress for Jay-Jay, but I already had an idea. I wanted to make one myself, and then get a hat or headband that matched for it. The headband would be cute because she would look like me! I was so excited as I carried the baby carrier and my purse out to the waiting car. I squealed as I saw my mom and friends. They all oohed and ahhed at Jay-Jay and we were on our way. "Okay, Clare, there is this awesome bridal shop by my house, it has everything we need. Veils, trains, dresses, flower bouquets, everything!" Fiona said as she drove. My mom smiled wearily, looking at me in the backseat, her eyebrows raised as if to say 'How much money does this girl think we have?' "Um, Fiona, Eli and I kind of wanted a low-key wedding. Not really expensive." I murmured.
"You mean cheap." Fiona stated. "Don't worry about that, I'll take care of it if it comes to that. Did Eli have any ideas for his vows yet?" she asked. I was about to talk whenever she said "Oh! Care, we have to buy you some lingerie for your honeymoon!" Alli giggled in the backseat and I gulped. Oh, boy.
A/N Sorry it's so short guys! This was just to see how many people were still reading, and to see whether or not I should continue. Do any of you have any ideas for wedding vows, dresses or lingerie? I got nothing.
