It was 10 P.M, and the Chameleon Brothers were getting ready for bed. Gemina was still fast asleep in her Moses' Basket, which was next to the brothers' bed. Their bedroom, in general, was like any other bedroom, except with red and blue walls and beige carpet. The bedroom also contained a bookshelf, a rocking chair, and a fancy-looking lamp.

Leon was in the bathroom brushing his teeth. The bathroom was located just across the hall from their bedroom.

"Are you done brushing your teeth yet? I would like to go to sleep!" Chuck called as he slipped on his blue nightshirt. The brothers usually didn't wear clothing at all. Most clothes couldn't fit them due to their "dinosaur-like" body. So if they wanted to wear clothes, they'd usually opt for a shirt only.

"Almost done!" Leon called back. He spat out the toothpaste remains from his mouth. He then rinsed his mouth out with water and spat that out. He finally exited the bathroom to put on his red tank top.

"Goodnight, Leon," said Chuck as he plopped on the left side of the bed.

"Goodnight, Chuck," responded Leon as he plopped on the right side of the bed. He turned off the lamp.

"And Goodnight, Gemina…" purred Chuck and Leon. The two kissed her forehead before drifting off to sleep.

3 hours later…

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Gemina had woken up from her sleep. The Chameleon Brothers too were woken up. They never expected her to suddenly wake up in the middle of the night. It was so unpredictable, they couldn't comprehend what was happening.

"Why is she crying?!" croaked Leon.

"She's probably…. Hungry?!" heaved Chuck as he got out of bed like a zombie.

"That better be the reason, because if she wants to sit on my back again at 1 o' clock in the morning, then I'm gonna go crazy!" Leon groaned.

"Well, she needs to eat. She probably hasn't eaten at all yet!" Chuck cradled the baby tightly in his arms. "Poor baby…"

He went downstairs to the kitchen to fetch a bottle for Gemina. The same unfinished bottle that he tried to feed her from yesterday. He placed the bottle in the microwave and set the timer to 10 seconds.

Gemina cried louder as she grew impatient with her midnight snack. Chuck, with a slightly panicked look on his face, rocked her gently.

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

The bottle was ready. Chuck walked back upstairs to the bedroom with the bottle. He sat down on a rocking chair and began feeding her. The room went from hysterical crying to quiet in a matter of seconds.

"Drink up…" whispered Chuck, smiling at her.

Gemina gulped the milk in large amounts. The chameleon chuckled nervously at her. He was worried that she would choke on her milk if she kept drinking like that.

"Slow down, Gemina. Take your time, you don't have to rush…" Chuck murmured as he gently bounced her in his arms.

She paused to stare at his face. Her green eyes were locked onto his eyes. She drank a little slower while gazing at his face.

"Aww," Chuck cooed. "This is very cute.. I don't regret this at all.." Gemina had warmed his heart. The bond just kept growing stronger and stronger every minute.

She gulped her bottle again as soon as she heard his voice. She grasped the bottle with her swaddled nubs. Chuck couldn't help but smile at this.

"Leon… She likes me!" he cried.

"Oh, are you feeding her?" asked Leon, rubbing his eyes tiredly.

"Yes! Just look at her little nubs… holding the bottle!" Chuck bursted.

Gemina slowly placed her nubs on top of Chuck's hand. This, in turn, made his heart go boom. His smile was wobbly and his eyes were filled with happy tears. He began nuzzling her as she kept drinking.

"Oh, OK." Leon fell back to sleep.

The bottle was empty. Gemina had drunk all of her milk in a span of just 15 minutes. This was quick, especially for a newborn her size. Chuck slung Gemina over his shoulder and began burping her.

"My baby lies over the ocean, my baby lies over the sea.." he sang to her as he patted her back.

Gemina let out a huge blech, loud enough for the entire neighborhood to hear. Even the Bigheads in their bedroom could hear.

"Darling, what was that?" Mrs. Bighead asked with a scared look on her face.

"I don't know, maybe a cloud farted or something.." Mr. Bighead grumbled.

Gemina was now happy and fed. Chuck lied her back in her Moses' basket and went back to sleep. Everything was under control, at least for now.

30 Minutes Later…

Gemina was up and crying again. The chameleons groaned out of displeasure as they pried their tired eyes open. They thought she would just sleep for the night, but no, it had to be a second time.

"C' mon, I just want to sleep!" Leon complained.

"Well, you can't when you have a baby in the house!" commented Chuck. "What was Filbert and Dr. Hutchinson like when they had their four kids? You can't really sleep much when you have four kids running around!"

"We don't have four kids though! We have one baby girl!" Leon disputed.

"Thanks, Captain Obvious," Chuck snarked.

He scooped the baby out of her basket and sniffed her diaper.

"She doesn't smell… She's been fed... What now?!" Chuck queried.

"Oh no, no, no, she is not sitting on my back. Not this time of the night, not a!" Leon denied, waving his hands in a gesturing movement.

"Then why is she crying?! Why, Spock?! Why?!" Chuck hollered, tossing a blanket over his head. This action caused Gemina to stop crying.

The two ogled her silently. The two then looked at each other. The whole room was mind-boggled at what was going on.

"What? What are you looking at me for?" Chuck asked as he swiped the blanket off his head.

"Ha ha ha!" Gemina began giggling at him.

"I think she wants to play," Leon pointed out.

Chuck lied her down in front of him and his brother. The two look at each other intently before holding their attention back on Gemina, who was giggling at them happily. Chuck tossed the blanket over his head.

"Peekaboo!" squealed Chuck as he swiped the blanket off his head.

Gemina laughed even harder.

"Why are we doing this in the middle of the night again?" Chuck asked.

Leon shrugged his shoulders. The reality of caring for a baby was really starting to hit them. They tried to fall back asleep, but Gemina's constant squealing was preventing them from doing so. Chuck picked her up and cradled her.

"Whee!" she squealed happily as she waved her arms and legs.

"Sometimes, I wonder if she snuck into the coffee pantry.." Leon mused as Chuck passed her to him.

The brothers took turns trying to rock her to sleep.

"Please… just sleep already.." Leon groaned.

Leon tried his hardest to settle her to sleep, but she just kept giggling. A laughing baby was just as tiring as a crying baby. He sighed tiredly as he passed her to his brother.

"Why won't you sleep?!" complained Chuck as he tried to rock Gemina to sleep.

Since rocking wouldn't work, he placed her on his back and walked around the room. That just made her laugh harder.

"You shouldn't have her on your back, she likes it too much! Now she's gonna be awake longer!" chided Leon as he got out of bed.

"I just want her to sleep though! The only thing that makes her quiet in the first place is my back!" Chuck retorted as he bounced Gemina on his back.

"You mean, our backs?!" sassed Leon, crossing his arms angrily.

Gemina gurgled happily as she lied belly-down on his back.

"I hate having a baby.." muttered Chuck, plopping back into bed belly first.

He tried to close his eyes, but the baby kept poking him in the face. Leon rolled his eyes in annoyance. Then he plopped into bed as well. The brothers each plugged their ears with earplugs. Chuck slapped on a pair of oversized earmuffs, while Leon was fine with a pair of headphones. Within seconds, the two fell asleep. The two sighed contently as they slept.

The Next Morning..

It was just another beautiful, lazy morning in O-Town. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and the breeze was blowing. It was one of those rare occasions where the Chameleon Brothers slept in on a weekday morning. They had been pooped out from trying to get Gemina to sleep last night. Just as they were racking out on precious beauty sleep…

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Chuck literally pounded the alarm with his bare fist. He woke up reluctantly to see Gemina passed out on his back. He yawned out of relief as he rubbed his crusty, tired eyes. He then got out of bed to wake up his brother.

"Wake up, Leon," he needled as he caressed his brother's nose. "We gotta get ready."

"No, not today!" moaned Leon as he tossed around in bed.

"Yes today," nodded Chuck as he pulled him out of bed. "Now get ready."

Leon opened his tired eyes and slowly stood up like a rising zombie. He scratched his butt a bit as he glared at Chuck.

"What did I do to you?" asked Chuck with his hands on his hips.

Leon huffed at him as he walked off to the kitchen downstairs. Chuck shrugged his shoulders in response. Leon was never a morning person. He'd always complain every time he was forced to wake up for work. Chuck, on the other hand, was always an early bird. He would always be ready early, even hours before others. He was the more responsible one of the two brothers.

Chuck lied Gemina in the basket and walked downstairs to the kitchen.

"So how's the baby doing?" asked Leon as he made himself some peanut butter and jelly toast.

"She's fine…" Chuck replied as he set the basket on the dining table.

He made himself some cereal with milk. The two then sat down at the table. Suddenly, Gemina began to wake up.

"Yeah.. just as we began eating.." groaned Leon. "Brother, should she eat right now? She seems fussy…"

"Maybe after, I mean, c' mon, we gotta eat as well!" said Chuck as he continued to eat his cereal.

Leon peered into the basket. Gemina was surprisingly in a good mood. She was just smiling and cooing to herself as if life were great. Gemina didn't sleep much yesterday. The average newborn was supposed to get at least 18 hours of sleep a day. Gemina only slept for 9 in total, including the power nap she took last evening.

The chameleon twin picked her up from the basket and cradled her.

"Chuckie… She looks like she is sleep-deprived," Leon murmured sadly. "Look at her eye bags!"

"Heh, she probably got more sleep than we did!" Chuck commented, scooping a spoonful of cereal. "We should be more sleep-deprived than her!"

Gemina began babbling happily at them. She clearly didn't seem like she was tired.

"Baba! Baba!" she babbled as she kicked her legs.

"Good morning, my little angel.." Leon spoke to her in a soft voice. "Did you get a good night's sleep? Even though you kept waking up daddy Chuck and daddy Leon?"

"Goo!" Gemina replied.

Leon smiled as he placed her on his back. He finished the last piece of his toast before heading upstairs to his room to get ready. He then unswaddled her and took off her diaper.

"Looks like you did a little wee there, kiddo," said Leon as he held up her legs, revealing her private parts. He began wiping her bottom gently.

Ever since The Chameleon Brothers brought her home, Gemina's needs had been placed before them. Everything; their free time, their business, and even their morning routine. It was all about Gemina now. Before Gemina got adopted, their life had been relatively laidback. They still had some stress, like their businesses and scam accusations. Other than that, their life was like any other person in their early-mid 20s.

Just as Leon dressed her in a clean diaper, she peed all over him. Usually, it was baby boys that peed upwards, but not Gemina. She might as well have been called "Little Fountain".

"GEMINA!" cried Leon as he wiped his face urgently.

"Wee-wee!" Gemina giggled.

He picked her up and laid her on his back belly down, "We'll deal with this later…"

Now Leon began his morning routine. He brushed his teeth, washed his face, combed his head, the usual. Eventually, Chuck began his morning routine.

"Why doesn't Gemina have any clothes on?" asked Chuck as he brushed his teeth.

"I tried changing her diaper and she peed all over me!" Leon answered. "And then I decided to just let her be naked. After all, we walk around town naked, so why would people even bother to notice?"

Chuck set his toothbrush down. He marched right up to his brother with a stern look on his face.

"She's a little girl. She should have clothes on." he lectured.

"Then why do we walk around naked?! Nobody even cares that we do!" Leon uttered. "Oh… What's the matter?! Are you gonna tell me to put on clothes? Are two chameleons walking around in the buff disturbing to you now?!"

"She's a human. Humans have different expectations than animals do-" Leon pinched his twin brother's mouth shut. He then pinned him to the ground.

"Enough with the human schtick! She's in O-Town, a place with animals! Talking animals like us! She should be considered a monkey baby." he argued.

"I only told you to call her a monkey if other people were around! Only we know she's a human! I don't want her to get taken away from us…" Chuck pulled Leon closer to his face.

"Me neither…" Leon murmured as he and his brother looked at Gemina, who was watching them in awe.

The chameleons tried hard not to cry. Even with all the crying and mess-ups, they still had a strong bond with her. It had been a full day since they found her, and they already were very attached to her. The most important person in the world besides each other was her. They would fight tooth and nail to keep her out of harm's way.

"You wanna keep getting ready?" asked Chuck.

"OK," replied Leon.

"Sorry about the little argument.." Chuck apologized as he began combing his head.

"It's fine, my brother!" Leon chirped as he bounced his back. He pulled a green plaid dress, some socks, and a bonnet out of the dresser. He then grabbed another clean diaper and walked downstairs.

"This is for in case.." he said aside as he folded the clothes delicately into the basket. He also threw in a bottle, some formula, a teddy bear, and another blanket.

He grabbed the basket and waited for Chuck by the door.

"Coming!" Chuck trilled as he rushed down the stairs.

"You ready?" Leon winked at his brother.

"Ja!" Chuck nodded. "You beat me today.."

"That's alright, everyone gets ready at their own pace," Leon placed his arm over his brother's back.

The two walked to the city with their arms around each other's backs. Maybe this day could have great potential.
