Chapter 11

Teri was outside the coffee shop cleaning the tables when she saw Sportacus run past her. This can't be good; she thought he had only been up here for like 5 minutes tops. She had to find out what happened and chased after him. "Leaving so soon?"

"It was a mistake for me to come here, I need to get back to Lazy Town", he said turning to see who had grabbed him.

"Unbelievable, some hero you turned out to be. I just can't believe it I fought for you. I told her from the beginning that she should have told you what was going on but she was afraid that you would react like this and damn if she wasn't right."

"How am I supposed to react to see her there holding some other man's baby?"

"Other man's baby? What other man?"

"You're asking me, you're her cousin or don't you even know."

"Okay I'm going to let that comment slide because your upset and confused. Was he tall with dark brown hair, hazel eyes, semi vacant expression and wearing a flannel shirt and blue jeans?"

"I think why?"

"That would be my soon to be dead boyfriend." Then she busted out in laughter for a minute followed by a sigh of relief while Sportacus stood there with a look of absolute confusion on his face.

"Well that baby was obviously Stephanie's if he's not the father then who… Oh I have been such an idiot I just assumed that… She'll never forgive me now… What am I going to do?" Then sitting down and a bench that lined to street putting his head in his hands.

"The way I see it you have two choices" Teri sat down next to him. "1. You go back to the apartment and figure things out or 2. You leave and never contact or think about Stephanie again because that girl has been through enough. But choose wisely because if you walk out on her again or hurt her again in any way I swear I will put you in a pixie stick coma that not even an entire orchard of apples could cure."

"Thank you, Stephanie is lucky to have a cousin like you to watch over her." Turning her ran back toward the coffee shop and the little apartment above it.

He quickly knocked on the door but found no answer and tried the handle and thankfully found it unlocked. Inside the apartment he quietly walked through the living back to the nursery and spotted Stephanie finishing up nursing Lilja. He knew he should have made his presents known but to was just so transfixed at the sight in front of him Stephanie and his no their daughter and couldn't help but smile.

"Are you going to stand there all day, or are you going to come in?"

"How did you?"

"Know you were there? I've always been able to sense when your near me, I don't why or how but I can. So do you want to come and meet your daughter?"

"Our daughter. What's her name?"

"Lilja Teresa, Lilja after"

"My mother but how did you"

"You told me once when I was 15 and you were showing me pictures of your family"

"And you remembered all these years? She looks like you."

"But she has her daddies eyes, now come on come hold her, I just finished feed her and she's happy and full."

"I'm not sure if I should, I might drop her of some thing."

"Sit down in the chair and I'll hand her to you just watch her head."

"She's so small and perfect." He looked down at the small baby in his arms and tears started to forming his eyes, "How can you love someone so much that you just met?" Stephanie quickly picked up the camera that was sitting on the dresser and took a picture of father and daughter before Bryan decided to make his presents know. "What was that?" Sportacus said looking up from the sleeping girl in his arms.

"That would be our son Bryan Milford."

"I have a daughter and a son, twins?"

"Two children in one pregnancy that would be the most common definition of twins, yes. Bryan came as I bit of a surprise to all of us the doctors never found him on the ultrasounds they said be must have been hiding behind his sister the entire time. Teri said we should call him Bryan in honor of his father."

"I don't get it?"

"The name Bryan means noble and strong, like you, which is good since he looks like you."

"But he has your eyes. Stephanie what are we going to do?"

"Not now Sportacus, let's not spoil the moment. Let my take care of Bryan and we can talk about it later.

A few hours later after Sportacus had changed his first diaper, which took about 10 minutes and, Bryan had been feed and fallen back asleep. Sportacus and Stephanie sat down to start to figure out what to do next.

"Stephanie I've decided to leave Lazy Town. My place is here with you and our children."

"But Sportacus you can't, Lazy Town is your home."

"No my home and my life is anywhere you and our children are."

"Then I guess I have to move back to Lazy Town, after all the town needs its hero, the only problem is where to live. I'm sorry but I don't think an airship is a good place to raise children."

"I might have a solution for that. How would you like to move back to your uncles house?"

"But I sold it months ago? How could I live there?"

"I went to the town council and asked if there was anyway I could buy the house, the airship isn't the best place to be in the winter or during thunderstorms. So the town decided to purchase the house and give it to me as a gift for all the years of service I've given the town. You can live there with our children and I'll stay in the airship."

"But there's three bedrooms in the house, one for the twins, you and me. Why do you want to stay in the airship?"

"Because we need to take things slowly and we have a lot of things to discuss and work through and as much as we both want to move on together we can't until we have straightened everything from the past 9 months out. Besides I think that is the only way Teri would let you leave, she's very protective of you and she kind of scares me too."

"She was the one who finally made me read your letter, well her and Trixie."

"Trixie?"

"I'll tell you later, all I want to do now is take a nap."

"I should go."

"No, please stay, would you just hold me in your arms until I fall asleep."

"Of course my angel." Then he kissed the top of her head and wrapped a protective arm around her as he did on that fateful night so many months ago.
