Once they had finished their dinner, Miranda smiled at the sight of her girls who seemed to be wearing almost as much pizza ingredients on themselves as they had eaten. "I think it is time for you both to have baths." Miranda said softly.
"Bubballs!" Cassidy cheered with excitement before Caroline joined in and started cheering for the same.
"Yes, Bobseys," Miranda replied, "You can both have bubbles in the bath with you."
Carefully, Miranda started to get Caroline out of her seat whilst Andrea got Cassidy out of her booster seat. To make the process a little quicker and to prevent the pizza toppings going all over the cream carpets, both women opted to carry the children up the stairs to the bathroom that was attached to the twin's bedroom.
"Bubballs!" Both girls were happily cheering as they were taken up the stairs, they rather enjoyed bath time with their mother and they were definitely fans of the bubbles that she would put in their bath.
Miranda and Andrea put the girls down on the floor in the bathroom.
The floor of the bathroom was made of tiles which were a pearlised white whilst the walls were a baby pink colour and covered in glitter. The crystal chandelier in the room made the glitter sparkle and there was a large mirror on the wall with a sink and vanity. The mirror was surrounded by lights. The bath was a huge circle shaped bath in the middle of the room with a waterfall shower at the top and two small steps to go up into the bath. In front of the bath was a fluffy pink bath mat and there was a matching one in front of the toilet too. Then on the largest wall was a black and white canvas portrait of Cassidy and Caroline which had been taken when they were babies. In the photo, Miranda was holding them and the only thing that was in colour was Caroline's pink dress.
At the opposite end of the room was another bathroom which was exactly the same but in lilac and it had the same canvas photo but Cassidy's lilac dress was highlighted instead.
In each of the rooms was a white basket full of bath toys for the girls. Miranda would alternate which bathroom that they would use to bathe the girls so that each of the girls spent time in their own bathrooms.
Andrea started to prepare the bath, turning on the taps before getting the bubble bath out. She noticed that there were different ones for them to use for the girls and opted for the lavender to help them sleep. It was a purple bottle with a Disney Princess on it. She put a generous amount of the liquid into the bath as the girls had been so excited about the idea of having bubbles in their bath.
Meanwhile, Miranda got the girls ready for their bath, getting their messy clothes off of them and throwing them into the wash basket which was near the doorway.
The girls were bouncing with excitement as they watched Andrea set up their bath with a multitude of toys including the water flow ones which she stuck to the inside of the bath tub with the suction cups that were attached to them.
"Bubballs!" Caroline shouted excitedly when she saw the growing amount of white bubbles in the bath tub.
Miranda simply smiled at her child's excitement and shook her head at the bathtub, knowing that Andrea had used about double the amount of bubble bath liquid that she usually used for the girls.
Once the bath was ready, Andrea tested the water with her elbow to make sure that it wasn't too hot for the girls and she smiled as she turned to them, "Who is ready for a bath?"
"Me! Me!" Each of the girls cheered with excitement, they loved being in the water no matter what water it was.
Carefully, Andrea and Miranda picked up one of the girls each and placed them into the bath tub. They did it at the same time so that neither of them were going first or last into the bath when they didn't have to.
Both women smiled at the excitement that the girls were showing at being in the bath, as the moment they were placed into the water they started splashing in the bubble filled water and blowing the bubbles at each other.
It didn't take long for Andrea to give both of the girls bubble wigs and mohawks. Miranda rolled her eyes at the sight but smiled at the sound of the girls laughing. Miranda took photos of the girls new hair styles and some photos of Andrea styling the girls' hair.
The bathroom was filled with the sound of giggling and the sound of the water splashing as the two of them enjoyed their bath time.
As soon as Miranda put her phone down, Andrea picked it back up and took some more photos. She made sure to include Miranda in them, most of them just had her smiling at the girls or laughing along with them but the last shot was of her smiling directly at Andrea and the camera with the girls laughing next to her.
"What are you doing?" Miranda asked her.
"I saw something on facebook about mother's not having many photos of themselves with their children and so I thought it would be good to get some of you with the girls." Andrea explained with a soft smile.
"Thank you." Miranda whispered gently before adding, "It is true, I don't have many photos with the girls, most of them are just the girls on their own."
Andrea smiled, "Well, whenever I get the chance I'll make sure to take some for you."
That made Miranda smile even more, she was rather grateful for her Andrea and she was even more so in that moment.
