Chapter 3: Bath Time
Luna led the babies to the bathroom. "Now I have to take your diapers off, so try to exercise a little self control."
"Me tinkie." said Baby Amara.
"Me tinkie too." said Baby Miguel.
"Well I'm glad you both got that out off your system. Now let's undress all of you." she was a little worried the boys and girls seeing each other naked when she took the diapers off.
"Peeni." said Baby Hotaru pointing at Baby Anthony's male part.
"Va-va." said Baby Anthony pointing at Baby Hotaru's female part.
"Excuse me?" Luna asked.
"Girls have Va-vas." said Baby Trista.
"Boys have Peenis." said Baby Gary.
Luna then breathed easier. "They seem to already be familiar with the anatomy of the opposite sex." Luna thought. "They must have been bathing together since they became babies." She filled the tub with water. "It's very wide but not deep, the note was right. I can bathe them all at once." She put all the babies in the tub.
"Splishy!" said Baby Walter as he splashed water around.
"Fun! Fun!" said Baby Michelle as she did the same.
Baby Darien splashed water at Baby Serena. "Take dat!"
"Take dat!" said Baby Serena as she splashed him back.
Luna watched with a smile. "I'll let them play for a little bit."

Artemis finished mopping. "Done, I don't care what Luna said she'll need my help." He then heard the doorbell ring. "Better answer it."
He went to the front door and opened it to find a man with a clipboard holding a pen. "Hi I'm taking a census for this area and I would like to ask you some questions."
"Ok."
"Name?"
"Artemis Katz.
"Married or single and if married spouse's name."
"Married to Luna Katz."
"Number of children?"
"Twenty."
The man with the clipboard started to write but then looked up in surprise. "Twenty?!"
"We adopted."
"I wouldn't tackle that many. Household income?"
Artemis started to sweat. "This could be trouble." He thought to himself.

As Luna started to use the baby shampoo she heard the phone ring. "I'll be right back little ones." She told them. The nearest phone was outside the nursery in the hallway. "Hello?"
*Phone gibberish*
"No, we're happy with our current long-distance service provider." She hung up and the phone rang again. "Hello?" she said a second time.
*Phone gibberish*
"Yes, our refrigerator is running."
*Phone gibberish*
Luna got mad. "Well you better make sure I don't catch you!" she slammed the receiver and the phone rang again. "Hello?!"
*Lengthy phone gibberish*
"Not interested!" she yelled and slammed the receiver down again. "Telemarketers!" She started to leave when the phone rang again.
"What do you what?!"
*Frightened phone gibberish*
"Oh sorry, I've had a rough morning."
*Phone gibberish*
"No this isn't Pizza Guys, you have the wrong number." She hung up and walked to the bathroom half expecting the phone to ring again. "It must have seemed like an eternity to them since I left. I'll probably have to stop some crying." she thought. Luna entered the bathroom "Mama's back little..." she came back to see that the tub was empty and a bunch of little wet footprints were leading away from it. "Oh no!"
She ran looking for Artemis and found him by the front door with a man with a clipboard. "Do you have a septic tank or a cesspool?" he asked.
"Septic tank, I think." Artemis answered.
"They're gone!" Luna said as she went up to Artemis.
"What?"
"The babies, I left them to answer the phone, when I came back they were gone!"
"They must still be in house, we'll find them."
"I have enough info thank you." the census taker said before he left.
"Artemis, I was in the middle of bathing them when the phone rang." Luna said. "They're running around naked."
"So you want me to find the boys."
"No, it was silly of me to keep the girls to myself. I tended to think of them as slightly cuter but that doesn't matter now."
"What matters is finding them is before they hurt themselves or make an accident without a diaper, but any of them did you clean it up."
"Seems fair to me." just then they heard a pair of wails. "Oh no!"
They rushed to the source and found Baby Serena and Baby Darien with bumps on their foreheads. "They must hit their heads on that table. They defiantly have more in common as babies then as when they were older."
"Mama kiss my booboo?" cried Baby Serena.
"Dada kiss my booboo?" cried Baby Darien.
"Of course." Luna said as she kissed Baby Serena's forehead.
"And one for the little man." said Artemis and he then kissed Baby Darien's forehead.
It wasn't long before they found the rest of the babies and put them all back in the tub. "Care to help me Artemis?"
"I thought you didn't want me to help you bathe the girls."
"Well since we are supposed to be their parents I suppose it wouldn't be any worse for you to see the girls naked than for me to see the boys naked."
They took the baby shampoo and started scrubbing.
