Me: Hello, my dinos. It is I, CarnotaurusMan! Now I know what you're wondering, 'where the heck have I been with this story?', and I'm glad you asked. I had one idea for the next chapter that lead to nowhere, so I had to scrap that idea. Then I had another idea that lead to nowhere as well, so I scraped that idea too. Finally I decided, 'You know what? I'm just gonna make the end of the first arc with the twins starting to walk.' And that what I did. So enough talk from me, let's dive in!

Roaming around the living room was Corey and Lily, the twins were playing with their aunt Zoe and Amy. "Come on, Lily." Zoe said, holding up a taggie blanket in her hands, "I got you taggie."
"Ta ta." Lily then cruises towards Zoe as she is picked up and held into the air, the two laugh and laugh. Meanwhile as Corey makes it to Amy, Amy covers her face, "Oh, where did I go Corey?"
"Oh?"
Amy peeks a little, she then moves her hands out and says, "Peek-a-boo!"
Corey claps while laughing cutely. He wants to play some more, so Corey gets on all fours and was trying to stand up. Amy was surprised, she tells Zoe, "Zoe, I think Corey is ready walk!"
"Oh my gosh, really?!" Zoe squeals in glee, "Zander! Zander, Corey is about to walk!"
"I'm coming!" Zander called from upstairs. Zander is rushing down the steps with a camera in hand. "Okay, I'm here-whoa!" Zander trips over the baby gate and lands face first into the ground, making Zoe and Amy wince. "Forgot about the baby gate." He said, "But, anyways." Zander points the camera at Corey and begins recording.
Zoe sets Lily down onto her stomach. "Stay right here, Lily." Zoe said, she then gets in front of Corey with open arms, "Come here, Corey. Walk over to Aunt Zoe and Aunt Amy." Corey slowly stands up, wobbling while trying to maintain his balance. "You got this, Corey." Amy said. Corey begins to take his first step…
But instantly falls to the floor, Corey looks up with misty eyes and he begins bawling hard. "Oh dear." Zander sets the camera aside, picks up his son, and soothes him to calm Corey down. "Shh, it's okay Corey. It's okay."
"Co co." Lily wanted to see her brother, but Zoe picks her up and carries Lily away from her brother. "I know you want to see Corey, but not right now Lily." Zoe puts Lily into a play pen and says, "I'll be right back." Then, Zoe walks back to tend to Corey. Lily sits up and continues to call out, "Co co! Co co!" She is really upset, Lily just wants to be with her brother.
She had to get out of the play pen.
Lily tired to use all of her strength to force the gate open, but she's still too young and can't get it open. She then bangs on the fence of the baby gate, hopefully to distract everyone else. But that didn't go as planned. Now mad and upset, Lily snivels in defeat.
That's when help comes to the rescue, turns out Bud and Spiny had heard the banging and came over to see what was up. "Raawr raaawr (Hey Lily, what's wrong)?" asked Spiny. Lily shakes the gate for her response.
Bud says, "Roooar (I think that she wants out)."
"Rawr (Why)? Raaaawr (I don't see why we should)."
"Roar (Well, Corey is over there wailing)." Bud points in the direction of the others, "Rooooar (I bet she wants to see him)."
"Raawr (Fair enough). Raawr Raaaawr (Alright, let's get her out of there)!" Spiny acts as s boost for Bub as he tries to open the gate. Bud finds the latch, he pulls on the little handle with his mouth and slides the latch up from the slot. But he raised it up too high that Bud loses his balance and topples over Spiny. "ROAR/RAWR (WHOA)!" They yell before crashing to the floor.
But the two dinosaurs did open the gate up for Lily, and she was off to the races. "Rooar (Let's go)!" Bud and Spiny head off with Lily to see her brother.
But Lily just stops where she was. "Rawr Raaawr (Lily, what are you doing)?" asked Spiny. They watched her crawl near the couch, Lily grabs onto the couch and began to raise herself up off the ground. The two dinosaurs gasp as they witnessed what Lily was doing.
By now, Reese had just gotten off of work and entered into the house. "I'm home." She said, "Did I miss anything?"
"Well, we though Corey was about to take his first steps. But he fell face first into the floor." Zander explained, "He hasn't stopped crying." Reese closed her eyes and shook her head, she grabs her son from Zander and soothes him herself. "Shh, everything's okay Corey." Reese said in a hushed tone, "Don't cry, sweetie." After a short while, Corey stops crying as his mom wiped away his tears.
"Co co!"
Zoe was shocked to hear Lily this close up. "Lily, how did you get out of…" Zoe fell silent. Everyone turns their attention towards Lily to see what she was up to. Everyone gasps…
Lily was slowly taking her first steps.
Amy is the first to speak, "Please tell me, everyone is seeing what I'm seeing?"
"That Lily is walking?" asked Zoe.
"Yeah."
"Oh my, Lily is walking," said Reese, "Zander, get the camera!"
"Got it!" Zander begins to record his daughter walking. Reese squats down with an open arm, "Come to mommy, Lily. You can do it!" Lily continues to walk to the group, she nearly falls over but regains her balance and pushes on. "Go Lily!" Zoe cheers.
Amy says, "You got this, Lily."
Lily walks closer and closer to Reese. But instead of walking into her mom's open arms, she makes her way to Corey. Lily hugs her brother saying, "Co co."
"Li li," Corey returns the hug as everyone cooed over the twins little moment. Reese picks Lily up in her arms.
"I can't believe it, Lily can walk!" squealed Zoe.
Zander stops recording. "I got every second of it." said Zander, he then tussles Lily's hair, "That's my girl." Lily laughs as she grabs her dad's hand. "I'm proud of both of you." Reese told her children, "One of you tried, one of you succeeded, and you two both made mommy proud." Reese kissed her kids cheeks before giving them a big hug. The twins return the hug as Corey says, "Mama."
Me: There! FINALLY, THE LONG AND STRENUOUS WAIT IS OVER! *clears throat* Sorry about that, got carried away. Now that this chapter is done, I can focus on making more chapter...at least until I get stuck again. Until next time, CarnotaurusMan out! :)
