I know many of you may hate this chapter, but just showing what is going on when the twins are introduced to their mother since it was originally Lavish's mission to retrieve the babies.

Lavish had now finally arrived back on Anolis. It had taken many hours flight, and the twins were now awake and crying to be fed and changed.

She walked over to the little beds where they were. "Ok kids, it's almost time for you to meet your mom. I probably should feed and change you first so you're not so cranky when you first see her."

Akemi and Virgil both looked up at the female voice they had come to know as Olivia, but when they looked up, they saw a blonde skinned female lizard with red hair. They were silent for a moment, but then began to cry again, scared of the lizard who was standing over them.

Lavish knew that they were frightened of her, and so to calm them down, she decided she was going to have to change back her human form again.

She went to prepare some bottles for both of them, made the formula, and warmed them up. She had seen Leo prepare bottles nearly all the time back at the lair. She had liked the look the baby turtle girl had given her when she had fed her one time.

She would feed them before changing them. They had been content to feed before being changed many a time before and then were happy to be changed directly after they were fed. But then, Lavish decided against it. Change first, feed second.

Lavish changed into her human form before she came near the babies again. This time, they were slightly more comforted. She changed the diapers and washed her hands. Then she sat down with Akemi first. She was more used to her because Leo had handled her more often.

Akemi immediately took her bottle. She would take anything at this point. She suckled happily.

"Maybe you could end up with a little cousin, Akemi. The problems Uncle Leo was having back home might have indicated it. I would be your Auntie Lavish." Lavish smiled at her. "But after they find out how I took you two, I have a feeling that I won't be that welcome there anymore. I hated using Leo like that after I had come to truly love him. But I only had a small amount of time I could be there. My duty calls for me to be back here for my Queen, your mother."

Akemi just looked up at the 'human' feeding her. She had no idea who her mom was. Don was her 'mom.' Leo was like her dad. She finished her bottle just as her brother began to get impatient. He was just as hungry as his sister.

Lavish tried burping Akemi, and picking up Virgil at the same time. This was usually a two person job when it involved twins. But no one else was in the ship to help her right now. She had to do this to make the kids more presentable for their mom.

She had Virgil settled into the crook of her arm and the bottle on the table next to her. Virgil was beginning to squirm. He wasn't that used to the woman. Don was always caring for him. "Calm down now, Virgil, if you want your breakfast." She said.

Akemi finally burped. Lavish stood up and put Akemi back in the baby bed. She couldn't hold two babies at once to feed them like this. Then she sat back down to settle down Virgil down again. She wouldn't feed him until he settled down enough. Then his food would be his reward. He couldn't be that fussy an eater, could he? She was just worried that he might try to squirm right out of her hands.

Virgil settled enough after a couple minutes of squirming, Lavish picked up the bottle to show him that food was ready for him. He held up his hands for the bottle, that he wanted it.

Lavish gave Virgil his bottle. She had never fed the baby lizard boy before, but she had seen Don do it. He was so good for his dad. But right now, Dad wasn't there.

Ten to 12 minutes later, he was finally done. She now burped him. It didn't take too long for that.

Now she stood up and walked back over to the baby beds. She picked up the baby supply bag and then placed Virgil and Akemi into a double stroller she had placed on her ship while she was on Earth. The twins were now as ready as they would ever be to be presented to Queen Devina. For the moment, the twins were nice and quiet, having been fed and changed.

Once outside her ship, Lavish had to continue to walk in human form to not scare the babies. Some guards came over and questioned her. They were both female. "Who are you and what are you doing with these babies?"

"Hi, I am a member of Queen Devina's Counsel. I am Lavish. I just got back from my mission to retrieve her baby and found out that she had twins. I have to look like this for the twins to remain calm. That's how they know me." Lavish explained her situation.

"Lavish has been out of office for the last 6 months dealing with family problems." A guard said.

"I lied. I was going to get the queen's baby for her. Here, I am Lavish." The woman said and changed into her real form so they would believe her. "I wanted to surprise my queen so she would be happier and not have to be sad about her child anymore. This is my surprise to her."

The guards now believed her, that she was the Counsel member, Lavish. "Alright Counsel member, Lavish. You should go directly to Queen Devina. She would want to know who was coming back from off the planet." A guard said.

Lavish bowed and continued on, some more guards escorting her. It looked like she could use some help with those babies she was hauling. She knew she could use the help, but she wasn't handing over the twins to anyone but Devina.

Soon, they reached the palace, where Devina and her parents now lived.

Devina was sitting on her throne at this time of day, listening to various advisors and representatives, though at the moment, she was in between meetings. Lavish saw that she looked miserable, but brightened once she saw Lavish.

Devina looked surprised to see her. A guard came forward to introduce the guest. "My Queen, may I present Counsel woman, Lavish and twin babies to see you."

"Thank you Guard. Let her forward." Devina said.

"The Queen will see you." The guard said.

"Thank you." Lavish said and now approached her queen, pushing the stroller forward. When she got before her Queen, she bowed. "My Queen. I have brought you two surprises."

"Lavish, you are back sooner than I expected, but I would like to see your surprises." Devina said.

"First off, before I show you them, I will say that when I asked for my time off, it wasn't because of family problems. I wanted to make you happy, and I had decided to go to Earth to find the one that had made you so unhappy, Donatello. It seems that he had lied to you, my Queen. He actually gave you not one child, but two. He just didn't want you to have them." Lavish explained. "These are your twins, my Queen." Lavish now brought the two bundles up to her.

Devina's eyes had widened at her explanation. She now looked at the babies in her friend's arms. Lavish handed her Virgil first. "This is your son."

"Virgil!" She said.

"Yes. This is him."

"I thought I had lost you!" Devina cried. She now had tears in her eyes. She saw that Virgil had Don's skin color and shell, and her lizard tail.

"And, my Queen, Donatello never told you that you had a daughter too." Lavish said next.

Devina looked back up at her and at the next little bundle in her arms. "Here is your daughter, Akemi. She looks more like a turtle." Lavish said.

Devina looked at the new turtle girl. "She looks exactly like her father."

"Yeah, but she likes her Uncle Leo more. She is the more active twin, more bossy, while Virgil is quieter and likes his daddy."

Devina now looked at Lavish with curiosity. "And how is my… the father, Donatello?"

"He's doing well, busy as ever. The family takes turns babysitting when Donatello leaves the lair. The babies love everyone in the family." Lavish said. "But Donatello was not that trusting of me too much. I think he feared another female would try to, you know, what you did to him; or to one of his brothers."

Devina was glad that Don had recovered well from the birth, but these babies had been away from her for half a year. They didn't know who she was. She wanted to keep her children by her side, but knew she couldn't. She needed answers from Donatello.

"I should keep the twins for myself, but I know Donatello will be very worried about them. I know he'll be expecting me to bring them back to him." Devina said softly.

"What are you going to do with them, my Queen?" Lavish asked.

"You have been a good and loyal friend to me, Lavish. You have brought me my children so that I could see them. Now my parents will even know that they do have grandchildren after all. I think I will keep Virgil and Akemi here for a little while, so my parents and I can get to know them."

"One month, then I'll take them back to him." Devina decreed.

Lavish was pleased that her queen was pleased with what she had done, but she also wanted to return to Leo. She had a feeling that she wouldn't be so welcome next time, and that's why she would only go back when her queen went back to Earth.

…..

That night, Lavish was reunited with her own family. They were happy to have her back. She was also happy to be back in her own home, her own bed, and to be back amongst her own kind. But now that her mission was complete, she deeply regretted what she had done to Leo.

….

Devina finally had the chance to introduce Akemi and Virgil to Temmy and Clancy. Her parents were finally happy to see their daughter so happy, and to finally meet the grandchildren they thought they would never get to meet. Each parent held one baby.

"It's so good to see you happy again, Devina." Temmy said.

"Me too. And so nice to be meeting the little miracles that we thought we were never going to see. I'm proud of Lavish for doing that for you." Clancy said.

"A month that should be long enough for us to get to know them a bit more." Devina proclaimed.

"You did well in making the twins too. They look nice and healthy." Temmy said.

"I think I did really well for only mating one time, though I will always regret the way I did it. I gave him twins. One took after him, and one took after me." Devina said.

But despite how happy Devina and her parents were to meet them, Akemi and Virgil were not happy at all. They wanted their real family back; their turtle family, but that was not going to happen for awhile. The lizard family would now take care of their needs.

Over the month, after the food that Lavish had packed ran out, the twins were started on solid foods, but were still given formula, though different from the kind they were used to.

Akemi and Virgil soon learned to settle down and that these lizard creatures were just as caring parents and grandparents as their turtle family was.
