This is gonna be another one of those cute chapters. A few people have asked me to do a chapter with the twins. Well, here's that chapter. Nick and his friends are going looking after Todd and Vicky for the day. It's also going to have a flashback before they were born. Pretty sure a LOT of you will love this chapter. To be honest, this chapter was supposed to be the chapter after. But this chapter was easier to work with than that one. So I went with this one being chapter 11 instead of 12. I will do the actual intention chapter for the next chapter. Would like to say more, but I really want to just start up the chapter. So, let's get to it.


At the Wilde's home, while his parents were away, Nick was at home watching over the twins, Todd and Vicky. But he wasn't doing this alone. With him was his girlfriend, Judy, and his other friends, Benji, Finnick, Mervin, Darson, and Falisha were with him. Ronnie, Audran, and Flash were all busy with their own things to join. They all sat down in a circle surrounding the twins Benji was the one currently playing with the twins by making goofy faces to make the twins laugh.

"Awwww! Toddy and Vicky are soooooooo adorable." Benji said as he squishes his chubby cheeks.

"Well, they are the kids of John and Frankie Wilde. Like me, they had to get their adorableness from somewhere." Nick said proudly.

"That's not the only thing they have you like, Nick." Judy stated as she holds Vicky and looks at the little pup with a smile. "You're gonna grow up to be a lot like your brother, aren't you?"

"Just hope they don't get everything from their brother." Finnick said with crossed arms. "Like that signature grin that Nick's famous for." Finnick then looked at Todd. To him, for nearly a second, Todd gave Finnick a look as if he was given him a sly grin. This made Finnick jump a bit. "See? See? Todd just gave that grin!" Finnick said while pointing at the baby tod. "The same grin like his big brother!"

The others looked at Todd but only saw a normal baby fox just sucking his thumb.

"Dude, I think you're overreacting." Mervin stated.

"Hey! I'm not lying!" Finnick said firmly.

"Just don't overthink it, Finn." Falisha said as she picks up Todd and tickles his face. "How can you stay mad at this face?"

Todd then bit Falisha's finger. His bite was starting to get a little stronger.

"Oww!" Falisha shouts out as she pulls her finger away from Todd.

"Oh. Sorry! Toddy's still a bit bitey." Nick said

"Todd!" Falisha said looking a bit mad. "Bad!"

Todd then started to look very upset. Like he was about to cry. Seeing this, Falisha instantly did not want that to happen.

"Oh. It's okay. Fal-Fal forgives you. Fal-Fal loves you." Falisha says as she cuddles Todd's face.

Todd looked better and very happy. The others looked at Falisha with an "Mmm-Mmm." as they shook their heads.

"What? I told you. You can't stay mad at this face." Falisha stated as she held up Todd.

"Don't I know it?" Nick asked. "It's how they usually avoid trouble."

"Maybe you could learn a thing or two from them." Darson said with a smirk.

"Oh come on. I don't get into trouble... much... anymore." Nick said admitting that he has done a few crazy things once or twice in his life.

"And we usually come along for the ride." Finnick stated.

"And you love it." Nick said with a smile.

"This is true." Finnick admitted.

"Hey, guys. Can you put the minis down? I want to show you guys something." Nick said. Falisha and Judy put Todd and Vicky. Nick then called out to his siblings. "Toddy, Vicky, come to your big brother for a bit."

Todd and Vicky then stood up and started walking to Nick. Since they were still babies, their walking was still a bit wobbly. They stopped in front of Nick.

"As you can see, the minis are already pretty smart. Let me show you how much." Nick said to his friends. He then looked down at the twins. "Toddy, Vicky, we're gonna play a little game. I'm gonna point at one of my friends. Guess my friends' names and you get a prize. Sound good?"

Todd and Vicky responded by clapping. A sign that they like the game. Nick then picked them both up and placing them on his knees.

"Okay then." Nick said before pointing at Judy. "Vicky, your brother's girlfriend, the bunny over there, her name is..."

"JuJu!" Vicky answered.

"Very good." Nick said happily.

"Awwwwwww!" Judy went feeling happy that Vicky calls her that.

Nick then pointed at Benji and said "Todd, the big chubby cheetah is...".

"Ben-Ben!" Todd answered.

"Very good." Nick said happily.

"Awwwwwwww." Benji said feeling that his heart was melting.

Nick then pointed at Falisha and said "Vicky, the white tiger over there is...".

"Fal-Fal!" Vicky answered.

"I love her so much." Falisha whispered to herself as she places her right paw where her paw is.

"Todd, the hyena that's always laughing is..." Nick said while pointing at Mervin.

"Merv-Merv!" Todd replied.

"Seriously, I will trade you ALL my brothers for him." Mervin said liking Todd a bit more than his own brothers.

"I already told you, no trades." Nick said to Mervin.

"Psst! They're not really calling us by our names. Just the first part and say it twice." Finnick stated with his arms crossed.

"Finn, it's still impressive." Judy said.

"I'll be more impressed when they can say a full sentence." Finnick said. Seemed like he wasn't fazed by the babies cuteness.

"Todd, Vicky, the short and usually angry one's name is..." Nick asked the twins.

"Finn-Finn!" Both Todd and Vicky went.

Even someone with Finnick's toughness couldn't help but have his heart melted by the twin's cuteness.

"If anyone ever hurts you two, I will personally hunt them down for you." Finnick said being like a bodyguard. Finnick then looked at the others who were giving him a sly grin. Finnick looked a bit embarrassed. "See what they do to me?"

"Very good, you two." Nick said to Todd and Vicky as he patted their heads. He then put them down to the floor. "You two wait here while I get your prize."

Nick then left the living room leaving the others to watch the twins.

"He didn't ask them who I was." Darson thought looking a bit disappointed.

"The twins have really grown in more ways than one since I first saw them." Judy said.

"Well, you only saw them during the first couple of months since they were born. You missed out on a whole year of growing." Falisha stated.

"I know. I'm upset about it." Judy said looking a bit disappointed. "Nick showed me a picture of them on their 1st birthday."

"The one with them having blueberry filling all over their face?" Benji asked.

"That's the one." Judy said nodding.

"Oh, yes. I love that one." Benji said with a smile.

"What is it with parents taking pictures of their babies with food all over their face?" Darson asked.

"Right?" Mervin asked agreeing. "My parents took pictures of me and all my siblings with frosting, pie filling, or baby food all over our faces."

"Mine too." Falisha said.

"Not mine." Finnick said sounding like he was boasting a bit since he was the only one without an embarrassing baby picture.

"How does that make you feel?" Judy asked.

"Pretty... disappointed at my parents." Finnick admitted with a mildly angry face.

"Knew it." Mervin said.

"Anyway, since I'm here for the whole Summer, I don't want to miss any more of the twins' big moments." Judy said with a smile.

After she said that, Judy went to look at the twins. But when she and the others turned around, they were nowhere to be seen.

"Toddy, Vicky?" Judy said looking left and right. They didn't see them either. Judy's ears then drooped. "Oh no! We didn't keep an eye on them!"

Nick then came back into the room with a cookie jar.

"Ummm... where are the minis?" Nick asked.

"Nick, don't freak out... but..." Judy said calmly.

"THE TWINS DISAPPEARED!" Benji shouted out starting to freak out.

"Aw jeez. Not again." Nick said not sounding as freaked out as he should be.

"Again?!" Everyone else shouted out.

"You mean this has happened before?!" Judy asked.

"Yeah. I should have warned you. They were speed crawlers. Take your eyes away for a second and they could disappear on you. Looks like they are now going up to speed trotters." Nick told them. "Hmm. I just gave them their bath, so their scents are gonna be hard to get."

"Then what do we do?" Judy asked still freaking out.

"Relax. I just need to give them their prize and they give them a reason to come to us." Nick said. He then tried to call out to the twins. "Toddy, Vicky, you forgot your prize. A big hug from your bubba?" The twins didn't come out for Nick's offer. Seeing that, Nick knew he had to give them their real prize. He then pulls out a cookie from the cookie jar he is holding. "Or... a nice chocolate chip cookie."

From behind the big window curtains, out came Todd and Vicky happily walking to Nick.

"Oh! There they are!" Benji said pointing at the two little fox cubs.

"They never take the hug." Nick said as he shook his head.

After putting them on their stools so they wouldn't run off again, Nick gave the twins their cookies and they happily munched on them.

"You seem to really have this 'big brother' thing locked." Judy said.

"Well, between the younger siblings in your family and what you taught me, I think that's safe to say." Nick stated. "I'm really just doing what comes naturally to me."

"You are a really good brother." Judy said.

"I'm glad I am. To be honest, I was a nervous wreck before and when they were born." Nick admitted.

"Really?" The others went.

"Really." Nick said while nodded.

"So when did you stop getting so nervous?" Falisha asked.

"Guess it started a few months before they were born." Nick said.

He then started flashbacking to two years ago. His mother, Frankie, was sitting on the couch with her paws on her pregnant stomach and humming. Popping out from the hallway door was a younger Nick around 11.

Mom was about 6... 7 months in on her pregnancy. During that time, I already got a taste of mom's... craziness. So, I kept my distance when I was near her. But it wasn't like I could hide from her. She is my mom after all.

"Oh, Nicky." Frankie said noticing her son. "Come over here, sweetie."

"Uhhh... you're not gonna yell at me as you did with pop the last couple of weeks, are you?" Nick asked looking a bit scared.

"Don't worry, sweetheart. I'm pretty sure my mood swings are gone for now." Frankie stated. She then patted on an empty spot on the couch. "Now, come on. Sit with mommy."

Part of me felt that it was a trap. But she was my mom. I just had to be careful around her. I sat by my mom on the couch. I looked down at her belly. It was like looking at a melon. A melon that had two little fox cubs inside.

"So, are you excited to be a big brother?" Frankie asked. "It won't be long now."

"Well... I know I was excited at first. But now that the day is getting closer and closer, I'm feeling more and more nervous." Nick told his mom. "I mean, I'm gonna be a big brother. I was so used to being an only child. Now I'm gonna have two siblings. That's a pretty big change from my usual life. How do I handle something like that?"

Mom then wanted me to come closer to her.

"Put your paws on my belly." Frankie said to Nick.

"What?!" Nick shouted out as he stepped back. "No! I'm not touching my mom's tum! That's just so weird!"

"Just do it... or you will upset your mother." Frankie told him.

You know my mom is not one person that you want to upset. So I did what she asked. I got close to mom and then nervously placed my paws on her belly. It felt like I was touching a basketball.

"This... still feels weird to me." Nick said to his mother.

"Feel anything?" Frankie asked.

"Nothing rea..." Nick said but before he could finish that sentence, he felt a small kick from his mother's stomach. "*gasp* I think I felt a kick!" Nick then felt another kick. "And another!"

"You kicked around a lot when I was pregnant with you. You were quite restless." Frankie said with a smile. Frankie then placed Nick's head on her belly. "Now, listen."

Mom placed my head on her stomach and I listened. That's when I heard them. Two heartbeats. They were very faint, but I heard them. I don't know what it was, but hearing those tiny heartbeats filled my heart with wonder.

"There are two new lives inside me right now. One day, when they are ready, they gonna be out in the world. It may be scary for them, but being Wildes, they can handle it." Frankie said. "They also will have a good big brother to look after them. You're a good boy, Nick. So I have no doubt that you will be a great brother to them."

After hearing that mom believe that I would be a good big brother, I believed in myself too.

"I'll be the best big brother to them, mom. I promise." Nick said looking up at his mom with a big smile.

That was when I was ready to be a big brother. After that, I went to talk to pop about it. Suitopia was still just opening, but he still likes to use the basement as his workshop. He was doing his usual thing. Finishing up one of his suits for a client.

"Hey, pop. You busy?" Nick asked.

"Yes, but you know I always have time for you." John said as he stops working on his sewing and turns to his son. "What do you need, my boy?"

"I felt the babies kick. And then I heard their heartbeat." Nick said excitedly.

"You did, huh? There was an amazing feeling inside you, wasn't there?" John asked. "I remember when you were still inside your mother's belly. She said you were quite restless."

"So I've been told." Nick said. "Pop, can I ask you something?"

"What do you need?" John asked.

"It's ummm... an awkward thing to ask." Nick said looking a bit flustered. "I... know for the first 9 months, mom carried me. But... exactly how did you contribute to me being born?"

After I asked him that, pop just looked at me with this frozen expression. He then waited 5 seconds before responding to me.

"Well Nick, I do believe you are old enough to have 'the talk' with." John said.

"Didn't we already had 'the talk'?" Nick asked.

"This one... will be different." John said looking a bit nervous. "Okay. It's gonna be hard to start this. But here goes."

Ending the flashback and getting back to Nick and the others, Nick had a disturbed expression on his face.

"All my innocence that day." Nick said to his friends.

"Ooooooooh... yeahhhhh..." Everyone else went knowing what Nick was talking about.

"Seriously, if I knew THAT was how having a baby works, I would have never asked." Nick said still looking shaken by the thought.

"Tell me about it." Judy said understanding how Nick felt. "You wanna know what my parents did? They sat a group of us down in the living room. The kids around 10 and 12. After they had 'the talk' with us, we all ran out screaming."

"I can see that." Finnick and Mervin both said.

"You don't know how horrifying it was to realize that your parents had to..." Judy said trying not to think about it too much. "It's the reason why we had that new rule. There was already enough of us. We didn't know how, but we really didn't want to know how."

"I finally understood what mommy-daddy time meant." Nick said.

"You too?" Mervin asked. "Mom and Dad always dragged my brothers and me out for hours every once in a while. My first three older brothers knew why, but I and my other 2 brothers didn't. Then one day when my dad gave me 'the talk', I did not laugh that whole day."

"Wow. That's like a month in your terms." Nick stated.

"Man, I remember when my pops had 'the talk' with me." Finnick said. "Just describing that he had to..."

Before Finnick said anything else, Nick covered Todd's ears while Judy covered Vicky's.

"HEY! WHOA WHOA WHOA!" Nick shouted out.

"Not in front of the twins!" Judy shouted out.

"Dudes, they're just babies. They won't understand or remem..." Finnick said. But before he could finishing talking, the others gave him a look. Each of them knew that the babies were both pretty smart. So Finnick decided not to say anything further. "Fine. I'd rather not talk about it anyway."

"Thank you." Nick said as he moves his paws away from Toddy's ears. Judy did the same for Vicky. "Babies or not, they are still very impressionable."

"Right. Right. This is why I am glad to be an only child." Finnick said.

"Don't rub it in." Mervin said to Finnick.

"Hey. Being an only child isn't as great as it looks." Darson said. "I would have loved having a brother or sister as Nick does." Darson then walked up to the twins and patted their heads with a smile. "Having a single parent and no siblings is lonely, ya know?"

"We know, Darson. We all know how rough things were for you." Nick said.

"Yeah. They were rough. But not anymore." Darson said with a smile at Nick.

Darson owns most of his happiness thanks to Nick, Judy, and the others. And he won't forget that. Nick then took Vicky out of her high chair.

"Alright, how about we watch some TV?" Nick asked his friends.

"Yeah. Sounds good." Judy said liking the idea.

Nick then went to Todd and took him out of his high chair. Instead on carrying Todd in his arms like Vicky, Nick carried Todd by grabbing him by the neck... with his mouth. Judy was freaking out a bit, while the others didn't seem fazed by this.

"Woah! Nick, should you really be carrying Toddy like that?!" Judy asked frantically.

"Relax." Nick said while Todd's neck was still around his mouth. "It's very common for foxes to carry cubs like this. Mom and Pop used to carry me like this all the time when I was a baby. It's in our fox nature."

"Not just foxes. It's in most predator's nature." Benji stated.

"It's true." Falisha said.

"Mm-hmm." Finnick said.

"Oh." Judy said.

"Besides, Toddy likes it." Nick said.

Todd looked pretty fine with the way he was being carried. In fact, it looked like he liked it. After walking back to the living room, Nick put Todd and Vicky down as they watched some TV. Nick sat on the couch with Finnick, Judy, Todd, and Vicky. Benji, Mervin, Falisha, and Darson sat on the ground beside the couch. They basically just channel surf. Benji was the one with the remote.

"Just make sure you pick something appropriate for the minis." Nick told Benji.

"I know. I'll just set it to the weather." Benji suggested. "If we are going to have another 3 rainy days, I want to be ready."

"Good call." Finnick said giving Benji a thumbs up.

Benji stopped at the weather channel. From what the gang could see, it was going to be sunny all week.

"Looks like we are good with weather." Falisha said.

"Nice." Mervin said sounding happy.

"Hear that, you two. The sun's going be here all week." Nick said to his siblings.

"Yaaa!" Todd and Vicky said while clapping.

"Seems like the twins really understand you." Judy said to Nick.

"I think it's more that I know what to say to them. That... and they both love their brother." Nick said. Nick then looked down at his siblings and picked up Todd. "You do love your brother, right?"

"Bubba." Todd went as he reached out for Nick's muzzle.

"Bubba!" Vicky went as she tugged at Nick's shirt.

"Just checking. Bubba loves you too." Nick said to them with a smile.

"Quick question. Why do they always call you bubba?" Darson asked.

"Oh. Bubba is their way of calling me brother." Nick explained. "You already noticed that they tend to call people by the first part of their name twice. Judy is JuJu. Benji is Ben-Ben. ETC. But for me, it was just Nick. No Nick-Nick. Just Nick." Nick felt a bit mad about that. "Anyway, one day, when they were starting to learn words, I asked them to call me brother. Instead, they called me bubba." Nick said while laughing. "I like it, so I don't mind them calling me that."

"It's a cute nickname." Judy stated.

"Like you, my equally cute hun-bun." Nick said with a smile.

"You only get a pass because you're my boyfriend." Judy said with a sly grin.

"And that is the absolute best reason why we are together." Nick said smiling at Judy. He then put both Todd and Vicky on his knees. "Anyway, Todd and Vix can call me bubba as much as they want. I love the nickname almost as much as I love my baby brother and sister."

Nick then hugged his baby brother and sister.

"Awwww!" Judy, Falisha, and Benji went.

"Well, you already do a good job, bubba." Darson said with a smile.

"You, don't call me that. Only the minis." Nick said firmly.

"Fine, Nicky." Darson said.

"Are you done?" Finnick asked as he rolled his eyes. He then takes the remote from Benji. "What else is on?" He clicks the remote and stops at an action flick. "OOOOH! Crash and Bam is on! I love this movie!"

"Dude! What did I just say about something appropriate for the minis?" Nick asked a little mad.

"Ehh. It's about time for their nap anyway." Finnick said not wanting to change the channel. "Just put them in their pen."

"*sigh* You're lucky I like this movie too." Nick said to Finnick.

After watching the movie, it was time for the others to start heading home. They said goodbye to Nick and said that they would see him tomorrow. Judy said goodbye to Nick last, but not before kissing him goodbye on the cheek. She also gave Todd and Vicky kisses on their foreheads. She then went off to her and Gwen's apartment.

Nick was now by himself with the twins. He put them back into their pen and watches the two play with each other. He started imaging them getting older and doing what he did when he was 9. Having fun, enjoying things while they're young, and having a bunch of friends. The perfect life just like has. But Nick kept thinking would they really be able to have a life as he did?

"Either way, I'll be there for them when I need me." Nick thought. Nick's stomach then grumbled. "I need a snack."

Nick goes into the fridge and gets out a basket of blueberries to snack on. Sitting on the couch, he pops a few in the air and catches it with his mouth. The twins see this and look like they want a few.

"Bobos!" Vicky uttered.

"Sorry. You two had already had your snack for the day." Nick said to them.

"Bobos!" Todd said sounding a bit forceful.

"Nope. Still not giving you any. Not after last time." Nick said firmly as he eats a few more blueberries. Then he got hit in the head with Todd's teething ring. "Owww!" Nick shouted out as he rubbed his head. "Oh. Real mature, Todrick. Real mature."

Which goes to show, even if there's love, that doesn't mean it's always easy for Nick being a big brother. Faaaaaaaar from it.

Finally finished another chapter. For some reason, I always feel so accomplished when I finish a chapter. To be honest, I wrote this whole chapter within 4 days. Which goes to show what I can do when I have a decent few days off and not playing the PS4. Anyway, already working on the next chapter. I would say it won't take that long, but who am I kidding? Also, I do have other stories to work on. That's all for now. Until the next chapter.
