The very ( exciting I don't know) to the fanfic of Charlie and Sophie's happy life.
One year had gone since the birth of their sons. Harry and Ewan were in this first of december taking their first steps. Sophie was in the kitchen, making dinner when suddenly she saw two shadows coming to the kitchen. The two shadows were the twins, hand in hand and walking like they had done this all their life. She shouted after Charlie and the later emerged in the kichen, with fear in his eyes, threading for some accident. Instead, he saw his wife pointing in chock at his sons walking along the kitchen, with a wide grin on their faces, like they were amused of the situation.
" They are walking, honey. They are walking! Fetch the camera! We must record this!"
" Yes, yes. Right away."
This was four years ago. The twins had grown since, thought Sophie. What wonderful catastrophes had happened along the years. She remembered a year, when the twins had destroyed the living room carpet. Arguing about who could try Charlie's costly perfume first, they had slipped out of Harry's hand and crashed on the carpet. Charlie had been mad but in the end relieved of being deliberated on the old carpet that nobody wanted but had no energy to replace. A quick trip to IKEA had replaced to the new carpet and added also a few other things to the design of the apartment. Sophie was thinking of this in the car. She became nostalgic when important events happened. Today for example was the twins first school day in first grade. Kindergarten was behind and the twins were very excited about this. Charlie had taken the day off from work to participate on this special event. Sophie looked at his husband. It has gone 6 years and she couldn't love him more. The blond hair was still a delight to caress on late nights in front of the tv and his handsome face was still a joy to look at. She thought of how life would have been with Victor and her face became serious.
" What is the problem, my love?" Charlie took her hand in his and she smiled at him.
" Nothing. I was just thinking of something sad. But no worries, I'm fine." She lowered her voice and approached her lips to his ear. " I rejoice in the idea that we are gonna spend the day together."
Charlie smiled and kissed her hand. " I am too, as soon as we can leave these two monkeys."
" Who do you treat of monkey, dad?" Ewan's light voice was heard in the back.
" Oh I'm sorry. I forget that you were one."
Ewan rolled his eyes and sighed. "Very funny dad."
Sophie started to giggle, soon followed by Harry and with domino effect, everyone laughed even Ewan, quickly forgiving of the insult earlier.
The twins were very different and very similar, thought Sophie. Ewan was the outgoing one, very energetic and always eager to play at whatever game he is proposed. Harry is more silent, more observant and quiet. But they both liked football and were very closed like every twin in the world. Charlie and she tried not to favor anyone but it was difficult because they had their little favourite. Harry liked his mother better and often helped out with the dinner. Ewan prefered to stay with his father, in his office, where he played with his racing cars. The twins adored their parents and didn't hide it. Now they began elementary school. It was not long ago that I changed their diapers, thought Sophie. Soon I will probably watch them leave for university.
They dropped off the boys at their school, said hello to their teacher and were now totally alone. The silent suprised them, as they were used to the constant noise the twins made. They decided to walk, just walk. They were free from work today, free from worries.
