"So what are we doing today?" Fitz asked.
"I want to stay home."
Fitz smiled at his wife. He didn't think it was possible to be a happy husband and a happy dad. It was, and he had the best of both. In some ways, it was like their life was still the same. Same routine during the week. Cuddling for hours after work. They always spent a few minutes with the babies to give the nanny a break. It was never enough to be completely overwhelmed. Their nannies were great. The weekends were different and he looked forward to being with the babies for a full two days. It was somewhat of a challenge. The things that annoyed them five months ago were not so much an inconvenience anymore. He didn't mind the babies crying on a Saturday night. Of course he missed having money, but he and Olivia found lots of cheap entertainment in DC.
"What are you daydreaming about?" Olivia asked.
"I was an idiot during the pregnancy. These babies are my world. I can't imagine life without them."
"I love being a mom. They're growing so fast. I think we should try to spend more time with them during the week."
"You want to get rid of a nanny?" Fitz asked.
"No, of course not. I'm saying we can be here more often when the afternoon nanny is here. I'm sure Geneva will appreciate an extra break."
"You're right. We should be here. I didn't know they started food last week. I didn't want to miss that."
"I wanted to be here for that too. Make sure you don't mix up the carrots and sweet potatoes. Lucia says they need to eat all vegetables before trying anything sweet."
"Okay."
Olivia gave Everly her teething ring. She wouldn't let Marcus and Shanice ruin their weekend.
