Home With The Twins-A Week Later

I sat on the couch next to Pony, who was holding Emily, as I held Matthew, "So how you enjoying living with Darry, and Mandy."

"It's better waking up to one baby crying, can't imagine waking up to two babies," Pony looked at his niece, "She sure looks pretty."

Two-Bit, who had been in the kitchen, came into the living room and sat on the other side of me, "So the twins are fraternal, not identical, right?"

Pony laughed, "Yeah they are fraternal, they had two separate waters, if they shared waters then they would be identical most likely."

"I got the babies bottles," Toni Cade came into the living room with two bottles in hand, "Time to give them there milk."

Johnny was at the table watching as there son jumped all over my brother, and jumped as my brother pretended to want to give the boy a hair cut, "You aren't coming after my son with no blade, he don't need a hair cut."

My brother laughed loudly, "Come on Johnny, just a trim, he looks like a shaggy dog with his hair in his eyes."

The little boy, who name is Brent, was laughing not knowing what was being said, he walked over to his mom, wanting her to pick him up, he looked down at Emily, who was now in Toni's arms, "No baby!"

Toni looked at her husband, "Get your son, I am trying to help Cherry with the babies."

"There you are Two-Bit," Steve cam in from the back, he looked at Pony, "Why aren't you helping us work on the garage?"

Pony rolled his eyes, "Because I am not the one living in the garage, you and Dally thought of the idea of making the garage into the apartment, not me. I got a place to live already."

Two-Bit picked Brent up, and looked at Steve, "We'll help."

Brent smiled at the attention, he waved to Johnny as Two-Bit walked away, "Bye, Bye Daddy!"

"I'm coming to Brent, don't say bye to me," Johnny followed Two-Bit, and his son out of the house.

Toni smiled at me, "It's hard being in a house with boys, ever since Two-Bit moved in, I forgot the meaning of privacy."

"I have no sympathy for that, I lived here with Pony, Soda, and Steve when I was pregnant, and my brother visited a lot, "I looked down at the twins, and smiled, "You're right, you are in a house full of guys, I habe Emily, you Your husband, son, and Two-Bit."

She smiled a little, "That might change though."

"Two-Bit is moving out?" I looked at my daughter in Toni's arms.

"No, I am pregnant," She smiled down at Emily, then at Matthew, "I found out this morning."

"Is that good, or bad news?" I asked because I remembered how I felt at first when I found out I was pregnant with the twins.

"It wasn't planned, but I am happy," Toni made a funny face at Emily, "hopefully I haver a little girl."

"Does Johnny know?" I had to ask.

"Yeah he knew before I did, oddly enough. He noticed some of the same behavior from when I was carrying Brent, and he told me that maybe I was pregnant because I was sick to my stomach as well."

:"I didn't like feeling sick to my stomach, morning sickness hit me three time a day the first three months," I looked down at Matthew in my arms, "But it was worth it."

Soda hurried into the house running pass us, "Going to the bathroom, then I will kiss you sweetie."

Toni grinned.

"Thanks for the warning honey!" I laughed at Toni, "He's good with the babies."

"I am sure he is," She set Emily in the play pin, as I did the same to Matthew, "Nice that they sleep at the same time."

"Yeah, I guess that's good," I walked into the kitchen with Toni close behind me, "Johnny seems to be good with Brent."

Toni smiled, "He is."

Soda walked into the kitchen, and wrapped his arms around me then kissed me, "Hello honey," he pulled away and looked at Toni, "We're going to Bar-B-Q some hamburgers, Steve ran up to the store to get the stuff," he kissed me again before walking out of the house.

Toni grinned, "I can't wait till my baby comes."

Bridget came into the house from the backyard, she had her hair pulled back, and her hands were dirty, "Well now the garage has plumbing."

"Man you and Pony have things backwards," I laughed.

"Where is my boyfriend any ways?" Bridget washed her hands in the sink.

"He fell asleep on the couch as the twins fell asleep," Toni shook her head, "How do you know about plumbing and stuff?"

"My sister Angels husband is a plumber, I work with him sometimes, he taught me what he knows," Bridget peeked into the living room at her boyfriend, "Man the only time I get to spend with Pony mostly is on the weekend, and I am outside, while he is taking a nap on the couch," Bridget grinned at Toni, and I as she walked to the sink and filled a glass with water, "I'll wake him up."

"Bridget no!" Toni, and I said in unison.

I laughed a little, "I don't want him waking up the twins when he screams."

"Oh, I forgot the babies were asleep in the other room," Bridget took a sip instead from the glass, "This feels like old times, don't it?"

"To you probably, to me no, remember I just had twins," I pointed to the living room where my babies were asleep.

Bridget rolled her eyes, "I just mean it's good being here, everyone hanging out."

I walked into the living room when I heard Matthew cry, I picked him up and brought him into the kitchen, and saw Toni shaking her head, "Why are you shaking your head at me?"

"He would had gone back to sleep if you would had left him alone," Toni rinsed out Bridget's glass automatically as it was handed to her, then froze looking at Bridget, "Why did I just rinse off you glass?"

Johnny came into the house with Brent in his arms with mud all over his face, "He was playing in the dirt."

Toni grabbed a napkin, "That I believe, but how did he get it on his face," she wiped her sons muddy mouth, "Where were you?"

Johnny rolled his eyes, "I thought you were wat-"

Toni laughed sarcastically, "You are not blaming me when you know perfectly well I was in here helping with the twins," she took a hold of Brent after she finished cleaning his mouth.

Johnny looked at me, "Which one is that, Matthew, or Emily?"

"Emily has the green jumper on, and Matthew is wearing the yellow, this is Matthew," I looked into the living room to see if my daughter was still asleep.

"Godamit!" My brother came into the house, and to the sink running his hand under the water, "Damn that hurt."

Emily started crying, but stopped.

I looked at Toni, "She sure stopped just as fast as she started didn't she?"

"That's because she knows who her uncle is," Darry came into the kitchen holding his niece, "He smiled at me, Mandy is laying Hope in the Play Pin, you don't mind do you?"

Hope was Mandy, and Darry's two year old, Mandy and Darry got married about a year and a half ago. Mandy has a ten year old already, or at least I think that is how old her son is, Darry's step son.

Mandy came into the kitchen, "I heard someone yell."

Dally turned around, and grinned, holding a hand towel against the palm of his hand, "Yeah I was fixing the pipes."

"Hey the pipes already done, I did them," Bridget ran out of the house.

My brother grinned, "She's kind of cute all dirty up, and stuff…"

"Who's cute?" Pony came into the kitchen still drowsy.

"Your girlfriend fixed my pipes while you slept," My brother said with a grin, "She is good."

Pony hurried out of the house into the back yard, "Bridge, what is this I hear about you fixing Dally's pipes!"

Dally grinned proudly, but stopped when Bridget came towards him, and smacked him, he glared at my friend, "What you did fix my pipes, your working in the garage, my soon to be apartment."

My brother was good at making one person think one thing, and an another person think he meant something else.

Kent came into the kitchen, he looked at Mandy, "Mom, can I go outside with cousin Steve?"

"Steve ran up to the store to get some hamburgers to cook on the grill," Toni looked at Kent, "He should be back though."

Kent turned his attention to Emily, and then to Matthew, "What was it like giving birth to the twins?"

Mandy face turned red, she looked at her son, "Go help the boys in the garage, help Pony."

Bridget rolled her eyes, "That should be easy, all Pony is doing is sitting down on the hood of Two-Bits car," she paused for a moment, "Wait he's holding the bucket of nails that Two-Bit told him to, so he could pretend he's doing something."

"Sounds good to me," Kent teased as he went outside where the others were.

"Andrew, and KJ are here to by the way," Bridget smiled proudly as she talked about her twin brothers being here. KJ stands for Kent Johnson, we call him KJ so we wouldn't get the two confused (Mandy's son came up with Bridget's nickname by the way.)

KJ walked into the house, he smiled at his sister, "Man your boyfriend is sure doing a good job holding them nails," he noticed Darry holding Emily, he smiled, "She is a cutie."

Dally grinned, "Of course she's a cute kid, she's got Winston blood in her."

"And Curtis blood, don't forget the twins are Curtis's also," Darry pointed out as he handed Emily to KJ, who had his arms open for her.

KJ looked at me, "So Cherry, who's side of the family do the twins gene come from?"

"Our mother side," I smiled as I handed Matthew to my brother.

"Well I am going into the living room,": Johnny took a hold of Brent's hand, it's getting packed in here.

"I am coming to Johnny," My brother followed behind still holding Matthew in his arms.

"I will go in there since it seems to be the baby area," KJ grinned, he walked out of the kitchen.

"I was not so permissive with people hold and leaving the rooms with Kent, when he was born," Mandy looked at her husband, "Darry followed me around the house whenever he was home, while I walked with his daughter, or when anyone would hold Hope for that matter."

"Johnny and I let the boys hold Brent, and carry him around when he was a baby, of course they were all part of his life during pregnancy, they all took turns going with me to the hospital," Toni smiled at me, "But the next baby I'll have the girls there, or I hope I would."

"Of course I would come to the doctors if Johnny is at work," I sat on top of the counter, "I'm hungry."

(I will continue with a following chapter, I am sorry to announce I don't own any of the Outsiders, but I do own the women, half the children, and a whole one, and Bridget's family I own as well. Please read, and Review.)
