A/N Own Nothing Love Everyone :) Just letting you guys knows that the end is only a few chapters away, but fear not for there are plans for a third story in the saga.

Chapter 21 – Still the Heir

Over the course of the next few months Willy tried hard to make sure he was more available to everyone. It eventually got so bad that he spent the days with people and the entire night working. Christy caught him sneaking out of bed one night and put a stop to it. Together they worked on a better way for Willy to manage his time so he could work during the day and spend the evenings with her, Charlie and the girls. It was starting to become more obvious that he was getting attached to the twins. By June they were both always happy to see Willy and thankfully Laurana stopped crying as much.

A few days before they were scheduled to leave for Hawaii Willy found himself wanting to spend a lot of that time with the girls. He brought them both down to the inventing room and put them in a playpen next to him while he told them all about the candy he was making. Both girls watched him for awhile, but seemed more interested in the oompa-loompas. The first time Christy found them in there she watched for a long time before Willy realized she was in the room. She was so happy that he was finally starting to admit that he didn't mind being a father.

Charlie came into the chocolate room for his last candy making test before going on vacation. He stopped when he saw that Willy was holding one of the girls as he mixed ingredients and started to wonder again about being heir to the factory. Taking his normal seat next to Willy he pretended to be happy while he and Willy went through their usual testing routine. The chocolatier had Charlie mix certain items and pick out what ingredients were starting to go bad. Charlie passed and the two went back to inventing together.

"Hey Willy, do you think the girls are going to be chocolatiers too?" Charlie asked as he mixed some melted chocolate.

Willy looked at them for a minute, "I don't know, I guess it will be up to them. They can be whatever they want to be." He smiled looking at Charlie wondering for the first time if the boy was changing his mind about candy making, "You still want to be a chocolatier right?" Charlie nodded with a smile and looked over at the twins again. Willy must have given them some chocolate because both of their faces were smeared with it.

"I don't think Christy is going to like all the candy you give them," Charlie laughed until he saw that Willy's eyes were looking far away.

It took a few second for Willy to come back out of it, "No, she won't be mad, but I know she'll ask me how much I gave them."

"I'll bet you never expected to have twins when you sent out the golden tickets," Charlie continued feeling silly for not just asking his question.

Willy shook his head, "No, I didn't expect a lot of things to happen. Did you manage to collect all the purple berries that fell off the rainbow tree?"

Charlie nodded and ran to get the basket, "I guess you wouldn't have sent them out if you did." He started concentrating hard on what he was working on knowing that Willy was staring at him.

"I guess not, but if I didn't send them out then I wouldn't have anyone in here but me. See how everything works out?" Willy replied. Charlie nodded, but still didn't feel much better about it.

"Willy, you better not be feeding them chocolate when it's almost time for them to eat," Christy called as she came into the room, "Sorry, did I interrupt a test?"

"No shorty, we are done and Charlie passed as usual. I only gave them I little bit," he said with a pout, "You told me they could have chocolate."

Christy smiled, "Yeah, but only a tiny bit." She looked over at Charlie noticing that he wasn't very happy, "What's up Charlie? Aren't you excited to go to Hawaii?"

He nodded glad that Christy had talked Willy into bringing Sam, Brian and Chris along too. What was even slightly more impressive is that somehow Leota was also joining them, "Nothing, I was just thinking of things."

The two adults glanced at each other before Willy explained what he thought was wrong, "I think Charlie is having second thoughts about being a chocolatier."

"No," Charlie answered immediately, "I was just thinking about the girls being chocolatiers too."

Christy frowned as she looked down at her girls. They were both lying on their stomachs in an attempt to crawl around the small playpen. She leaned in to clean the chocolate off their faces as she thought out loud, "I guess being around chocolate might give them an interest, but that's not a big deal is it Charlie?" Smirking she turned towards the boy, "You'd give my girls a job if they wanted one wouldn't you?"

"Give them a job?" he repeated slowly as a smile started to appear.

"Yeah," Willy nodded and laughed as he gave Charlie a light pat on the back, "Just because you're getting my factory one day doesn't mean you have to only have oompa-loompa employees, although I'd prefer it if you limited the number of humans." Charlie nodded happy once again now that he had his answer.

The morning that the family was scheduled to leave for Hawaii, Willy and Christy went to Dr. Wonka's to drop off the kids. They were both very surprised when he told them he wanted to watch them, but they weren't going to argue. Willy knocked on the door and went in finding his father in the living room. He stopped when he saw a small samoya dog sitting next to him.

Dr. Wonka got up quickly to greet his son and followed his gaze to puppy. Ever since he met Merrick's three dogs he couldn't help but remember how much he enjoyed having one around. Since his son rarely visited he didn't think it would really matter anymore. "Willy, aren't you going to be late for your flight if you don't hurry?" Dr. Wonka asked looking at his watch.

"Uh yeah," Willy answered with a nervous laugh. He handed over the bags for the twins and waited while Christy went over a few things with him. Dr. Wonka expected her to act like he had never taken care of a child before, but she was fairly relaxed about someone else caring for them. He assumed it must be because she was used to the oompa-loompas passing them around.

"Ok girls, can you say goodbye to daddy?" Christy asked as she put the girls in the playpen.

"Dada," both responded looking up at Willy. The chocolatier smiled proudly at his little girls and even more so as Laurana babbled something that Dr. Wonka thought was just baby talk.

Willy put a hand in his pocket after hearing the babble, but Christy stopped him, "No, just because she asks for it doesn't mean you can give her chocolate. We don't want them on a sugar high before we dump them with your father."

"That didn't sound like chocolate," Dr. Wonka commented watching Willy slightly pout, but he listened to his wife and didn't give in to the little girl.

Christy laughed, "No, but it's close; she started saying 'wit' every time she tasted it and now says it every time she wants some." Alicia kept her eyes on her father while Laurana kept repeating the word over and over, her voice getting angrier every time he didn't listen. "You've spoiled her," Christy looked over at her husband pretending to be disappointed.

Willy laughed again and smirked at his father, "Enjoy dealing with her." He tipped his hat in his father's direction and headed out the door listening to both girls scream for him.

They headed back towards the limo as Christy nudged him, "You thought you were going to be a terrible father and now those two want you more than they want me." Willy put his arm around the girl and nodded laughing at her fake pout.
