So, I was watching 16 and Pregnant with one of my nieces when this little story popped into my head. It's my first story so be easy on me but make sure to tell me what you think. :D You'll notice that all the girls are from Washington, I know that's not how it is in the show but I made it that way for a reason. You'll learn why in a couple chapters. :) So, without further ado, Read on.

Oh, I have a polyvore. I love making things to go along with this story so the link is on my profile.

Angela

~Three weeks old~

Finally being home with my boys was great but it was also very, very tiring. Ben and I only got a small taste of what parenthood was really like when the boys were still in NICU.

But now that both of them were home, it was crazy to say the least.

Wesley woke up every two hours for a feeding or a diaper change. Noah's sleeping pattern varied. Sometimes he'd wake up every two hours, sometimes every three hours, and sometimes he'd wake up because of Wesley's loud shrieking.

Ben and I both had baby monitors in our rooms so when we heard someone start to whimper, we tried to get to the nursery as fast as possible to avoid both the babies screaming.

So far, we've been doing pretty good when it came to responding fast.

The first couple of days after the boys came home was the roughest. Ben and I had still managed to get a full night, or almost a full night, of rest while the boys were in the hospital but as soon as they came home, we got maybe four hours, if we were lucky.

I heard one of my babies start to whimper and kicked my covers off.

Wesley started to cry just as I reached his crib and Noah in turn also started to cry.

"Ssh, baby." I picked Wesley up first and could smell his dirty diaper. "Ben," I yelled as I placed Wesley on the changing table. "Ben!"

"I've got him," Ben yawned as he stumbled into the boys room.

Ben picked up Noah and rocked him back and forth, calming him down. I half smiled at the sight before turning my attention back to Wesley. I changed his diaper as quickly as possible but that wasn't fast enough for my little man.

He absolutely loathed having his diaper changed

"I don't know why you're so fussy about diaper changes," I cooed as I kissed his little head. "Do you want to sit in a dirty diaper all day?"

After chucking the diaper into the garbage, I went to the kitchen to prepare him a bottle only to find that Ben had already made one for him.

"Thank you," I took the bottle and went to the couch so that I could feed my little man.

"No problem," Ben yawned. "What time is it?"

"Um five?" I guessed. "Yeah, it's five."

"Damn," he yawned again. "I have to go back to school today."

I knew this and I was very, very nervous. It would be my first full day alone with the boys.

Even though it's only been a week since we brought him home, both Ben and I agreed that at least one of us should head back to school. Lord knows we missed enough of it during the two-week stay in Seattle.

I would probably head back to school next week, or the week after that. I wasn't too sure yet. The idea of leaving my twins wasn't an appealing idea.

But when I was ready, I had everything set in place. My mom would watch the boys when she could and if she wasn't able to watch them then Carmen would.

Everything was set, I just wasn't ready yet.

"I'll be asleep by third period," he laughed and then yawned again. "These kids are nocturnal."

I laughed, "I think all babies are for the first few months."

"I wish we got the kids that loved sleeping, that would've been the best."

"I'm not gonna disagree with you,"

Once the boys had been fed, changed, and burped, we put them back in their crib and then tried to catch a few more hours of sleep.

Ben woke me up what felt like a few moments later, telling me he was about to head out. I gave him a glare, yeah I'm not so much a morning person anymore, and waved him off.

I went back to sleep and woke up about two hours later feeling a little more refreshed. I checked on the boys first and found both of them still sleeping soundly.

I smiled at them before heading back to my room to grab the baby monitor. Since I had a little time before they would wake up, I decided to do a little house work.

Since the boys came home, we haven't been as clean as normal. The house was messy, mainly in the kitchen. We had tons of bottles littering the counter and a couple empty formula cartons.

I managed to get most of the dishes and garbage cleaned up before the boys woke up and demanded my attention.

I was very pleased with myself.

Now, if only I could get a shower in before the day's up.

Overall, my day didn't go too bad. The boys were calm most of the morning and so I let them lounge in their bouncers while I ran around the house cleaning.

By lunchtime, I was tired and so I pulled both boys out of their chairs and snuggled with them on the couch.

I did have a dirty diaper incident mid afternoon.

Wesley took a big dump and because I was feeding Noah, I didn't realize how bad it was until I picked him up. He got it up his back and down his legs.

It was horrifying.

After placing Noah back in his bouncer, I took Wesley to the bathroom and gave him a bath. He was not happy about that at all. Between Noah and Wesley, Noah was the one who loved to have baths. Wesley hated them and so I tried to speed through it.

When I had him wrapped in a towel, he stopped his crying and cooed happily as if nothing had been wrong five seconds prior.

I dressed him warmly and placed him in his crib for a little nap. I then went to retrieve Noah so that he could also take a nap.

When Ben came home at three thirty, he brought over some friends. They took the boys off my hands and gave me a much needed break. While they watched the boys, I showered and brushed through my messy hair.

It felt nice to be clean. After tying my hair up into a messy bun, I fluttered around my room, cleaning. The rest of the house was cleanish, I felt like my room should be as well.

I packed up my maternity clothes and put them by the front door so that I could donate them to Goodwill. I wouldn't need them again, ever. Two babies was more than enough for a lifetime.

Seriously.

"Take a break, Ang." Ben said as I was about to take the trash out. "You do too much."

"I wish I had a girlfriend like her." Nathan added as he played with Noah.

"She's not my girlfriend."

"She's a girl and she's your friend," Henry said with a smirk. "That's all he was implying. Get your mind out of the gutter, Cheney."

I blushed and took a seat on the couch.

Nathan passed Noah too me and looked relieved to be baby free.

"They're cute," Nathan said.

"Yeah, they are," I agreed, staring down into my little mans blue eyes.

"Wait a while before you have some of your own," Ben told him, seriously. "They may be cute but they're also messy."

Nathan laughed, "Dude, you don't have to tell me that. I wrap it up before I have fun with anyone."

"Which you should've done." Henry told him, pointedly.

"That advice is just a little too late." Ben said with a roll of his eyes.

Soon it was time to put the boys to bed. Nathan and Henry chose the same time to leave and so we said our goodbyes before going through our normal night routine with Wesley and Noah.

We fed them, burped them, changed them, and then ran toward our own bedrooms in a hope that we could catch a few hours before we had to get up again.

~A month old~

"Hey," Bella said when I opened the door. "Long time no see stranger."

"Bella! Hey," I hugged her, tightly. "I'm so sorry I haven't called you. I've meant too...I just..."

I felt bad that I neglected to even call her over the last few weeks. She had been an amazing friend to me while the twins were in the hospital, and even before that.

"It's okay," Bella waved me off. "I totally understand."

"Thank you."

"You look horrible, hon," she said with a laugh.

"I know," I said, laughing with her. "The boys are pretty fussy today." I said as I stepped aside to let her and Edward in. "And I haven't had time to shower or even change."

My hair was full of knots, I had spit up on my shirt, and I was wearing holey sweats. I wasn't going to win any beauty pageants, that's for sure.

"Where's Ben?" Edward wondered.

"He's working," I said. "Mrs. Newton has him working doubles since they fired Dakota."

"Oh, that sucks," Bella said. "Are you alone a lot?"

"Only four days out of the week," I said, trying not to sound to depressed about it.

"Well, I'm here for the night," Bella said. "Put me to work and take a break."

"I couldn't do that."

"You can and will," Bella pushed. "Go take a relaxing bath. I'll watch the twins. Where are they anyway?"

"Over here."

I led them into the front room where the boys were sitting peacefully in their bouncers. It had taken me nearly an hour to get them calm so I was glad teh doorbell ringing hadn't disturbed them in the least.

"Aw, look at them." Bella dropped to her knees in front of them and began playing with them.

"How is it?" Edward asked. "Parenthood, I mean."

"Honestly?" I breathed out. "It's crazy. I barely get five minutes to myself, especially since I have two instead of one. I don't think I've slept a full eight hours in about three and a half months."

I wasn't trying to scare him. I was just telling him like it was. Edward would soon know firsthand just how hard it was because Bella was due in a couple months.

"But," I continued. "It's also amazing. They are the most beautiful things in the world and sometimes it's hard to wrap my head around the fact that they're mine."

Edward smiled a bit.

"Can I hold one of them?" Bella asked.

"Yeah, go ahead."

Bella chose Noah, the calmer of the two, and gently lifted him into her arms. She crawled him carefully and smiled down at him.

"You're just the cutest thing ever," Bella cooed down at him.

"Do you want to hold Wesley?" I asked Edward.

"No," he said, shoving his hands in his pockets. "I don't want to break him or anything."

I laughed and retrieved my son anyway. "You'll be fine, Edward."

"Just...I should sit down first," Edward plopped down on the couch and held his arms out awkwardly.

I set Wesley into his arms and stood back to smile at him, "See, you're doing it."

"Do you like being a mom?" Bella asked.

"Yeah," I said, honestly. "I love it, it's just hard."

"Worth it though?"

"Definitely worth it."

Edward and Bella stayed the night and they got a little taste of what Ben and I went through each night. Although the twins slept a little better at night, they still woke up constantly.

In the morning, we all went out to breakfast before Edward and Bella headed back to Seattle.

Time seemed to move faster after Edward and Bella's visit. The boys grew, their sleeping patterns became better, and soon, I realized that I needed to get back to school.

The idea of leaving them for a full seven hours wasn't appealing at all but in order to not live off my parents my whole life, I had to get a degree and going to school was the only way to get said degree.

Still, I kept pushing it back.

First it was Monday but something would come up and I pushed it to Tuesday. Tuesday turned to Thursday and then Thursday turned to Friday.

I was all for waiting until next week to start but Ben put his foot down and told me that he would drag me to school kicking and screaming if he had too.

I gave him the silent treatment for that, and then apologized because I knew he didn't mean any harm by it.

Friday morning, I woke up, showered, and dressed for my first day back at school. I was up early, earlier than I needed to be, but that's because I wanted to spend a couple extra minutes with Wesley and Noah.

When it was finally time to get the boys ready to go to my mom's, I had butterflies in my stomach. Ben hovered over me as if he were waiting for me to bolt and lock myself in my room with the boys.

It was an appealing thought but I didn't do it.

When we got to my mom's house, both my parents were home and waiting outside for us. They haven't seen the twins in almost two weeks and so they were excited, even my dad was.

"Give me," Mom squealed as pulled Noah out of his seat. I surrendered him after kissing him on the head. "Oh, look at you. Marcus, look at our grandson. Isn't he handsome?"

"They are," Dad agreed as Ben handed him Wesley.

"So, the formula is in here, diapers are as well. Um, I try to feed them every two to three hours and...yeah, if you have any problems just call. I'll keep my phone on."

"We've got this, Angie." Dad laughed. "We've raised three of our own, you know."

I cracked a smile, "Right."

"Come on, Ang," Ben tugged on my hand. "We're going to be late."

I swallowed and gave a quick kiss to each of my boys, "This is hard."

"It's only a couple hours," Mom said, knowingly. "They'll be fine."

I nodded and let Ben tug me back to the car.

My first day back at school was a success in my opinioin. While people did stare at me occasionally, they weren't rude about it. A few people even asked me how my twins were doing.

None of my old friends approached me though. Carissa and Megan were content to just glare at me from their table but I ignored them and talked with my new friends, the ones who had expected that I had kids.

I called home to check on Noah and Wesley three times and each time my mom promised me that they were both doing fine. It put me at ease and allowed me to concentrate on the lesson being taught.

I have to admit that though I missed my boys, I was glad to get out of the house for once. It was nice to talk to people who could actually respond to me.

When the final Bell rang, I was excited to get back to my little men.

"Excited to get back to the boys?" Ben guessed as he helped me into the car.

"You know it," I said with a big smile.

"How did your day go?" he asked.

"It was pretty good," I said, honestly. "It feels good to be back."

"It gets easier," Ben said. "I was a nervous wreck leaving them when I first went back."

"Really?"

This was a surprise to me.

"Yeah," he said. "But I knew they were safe and happy with you and that got me through my day."

I smiled at him.

My boys were awake when Ben and I arrived. I wasted no time in scooping them both up and peppering their little faces with kisses. My parents and Ben laughed at me too which I responded by sticking my tongue out at them.

"Did you miss me?" I asked turning my attention back to my boys.

"They didn't even realize you were gone," Dad said "They're pretty calm babies, way better than your brothers ever were."

"Way better than Angela," Mom laughed. "Oh, Lord, did you have a set of lungs."

I laughed and snuggled my boys closer.
