"So?" Alan asked.
"Morgan James was born first and we didn't weight them yet but Morgan looks about eight pounds. Aidan Lila was second and about six pounds. And they are gorgeous! You did such a good job, honey," Monica kissed Alan.
"When can we meet them?" Dillon asked.
"Let's give Alice and Tracy some time to get acquaintance with them. And Alice might want a shower and nap," Monica laughed.
"But they're fine, right?" Ned asked.
"Everyone is fine. But probably very tired."
"Hey, do you want to shower?" Tracy asked.
"I would love a shower but I don't think I can stand up."
"I could join you," Tracy said.
"What do we do with them?" Alice asked, motioning to the squirming bodies on the bed.
" I could pawn them off on the adoring public downstairs."
"Are you sure they are ready?"
"They need to get use to the loudness and the chaos sometime." Tracy picked up Aidan.
"We probably should diapered them at least."
Tracy dressed Morgan. "You know these outfits are on the ridiculous side."
"Aww, I think they are cute. Right, Thing Two?" Alice asked her daughter who was dressed as Thing Two from Dr. Seuss' Cat in the Hat. Aidan pursed her lips.
Tracy held out an arm for her daughter. Alice carefully placed her in Tracy's arm.
"Try not to drop them, Tiger."
"Oh, don't even said that. Here we go. Awww, Mommy has waited for so long to hold you two, yes she has."
"You are coming back to help me right?"
"I suppose." Tracy briefly kissed Alice. "I'm going to be tempt though."
"Six weeks, Tiger." Alice laughed.
"Hmmm….."
"Maybe you should just take one," Alice looked nervous.
"O.k. let me give you Morgan for a second. I'll be right back."
The room fell silent when Tracy walked in with a bundle.
"Ned, Dillon, I would like you to meet your new little sister, Aidan. Aidan, these are your big brothers. Would you like to hold her, Dillon?"
"I don't know how."
"Well, sit down and curve your arm. Ned could you help him?" Tracy lightly bounced the baby.
"O.k. I'm ready." Dillon stared at his little sister. "Hi! I'm your big brother. You're so little. I thought she would be bigger."
Monica smiled. "She's a good size for a twin. Most twins are about four or five pounds."
"I'll get her big brother, Morgan James." Tracy smiled
"So this is Aidan Lila?" Alan asked. The baby started to cry and looked around.
"|Oh, look what you did now, Alan!" Edward snapped.
"I didn't do anything. Dillon must've held her wrong!" Alan reached for the baby, starting to speak in his Sidney voice, "|Yes, Uncle Alan didn't do anything wrong."
"Alan, I want to hold her, now" Edward held out his arms.
"Dad, I just got her." Alan refused to hand his niece over.
The baby stopped crying, calming down once hearing the argument. Monica chuckled,
"Is arguing like a lullaby to you, sweetheart?"
Aidan cooed.
"Fine but I want her again." Alan gently placed Aidan in her grandfather's arms.
"Hello, future C.E.O" Edward nuzzled the soft head.
"Well, here's her big brother," Tracy said, kissing the baby.
"Oh! Mom, he's beautiful. Come here, sweetie. You are so much cuter than Dillon was. Yes you are," Ned said.
"Hey!"
"What? Oh, you were scrawny," Ned said, dismissively.
"Ned, he was two months early. Dillon, you were a cute baby," Tracy said, "I need to check on Allie. Don't damage them."
"Hey, Lion. Are you ready for a bath?" Tracy gently woke her wife up.
"Hmmm…." Alice shifted painfully, "Where's the babies?"
"With the tigers, being scented, I assumed. Would you like me to help you?"
"Yeah, I'm so sore."
Tracy helped Alice into the soft pajamas. "Have I told you how amazing you were? How much I love you?"
"You have mentioned that. The babies probably are getting hungry."
"It's still raining pretty hard. I think we're stuck here for the night," Tracy said apologicially.
"Ah. Well, could you look up nursing in that book? I think it's in the bag."
Tracy handed the book to Alice, who scanned the passage.
"O.k., I think I got it. Could you rescue our cubs?"
"Of course."
Monica entered the room. "Here's Aidan. I heard you want to try nursing."
"Yeah, just give me a sec, " Alice sat up and started to unbuttoned her pajamas top. She stopped. "I'm sorry. Monica, could you leave?"
Monica noticed how uncomfortable Alice was. "Of course. Do you need anything?"
"I would love some food."
"I'll see if I can scrouge up some pizza." Monica left the room.
Tracy smiled at Alice. Alice blushed as she nursed Aidan. She tried to cover herself and the baby with her pajamas top.
"Honey, it's nothing I haven't seen before. In fact, I rather enjoy the view," Tracy said, holding Morgan.
"It's just…" Alice shrugged.
"Lion, are you worry about your weight?" Tracy asked.
"I've gained back all I lost plus ten pounds."
"I loved you before you lost the weight and I'll love you now. In fact, I enjoy the fact two things are bigger," Tracy touched Alice's face.
"Yeah, well, those things are sore. I don't think I want you to play with those for a while."
"I can wait. You look so exhausted. Do you want to just sleep?"
"Yeah. Do you want to join me?" Alice moved over. Tracy slipped into bed.
"I think this is the best Thanksgiving I ever had." Tracy kissed Alice as they both watched the cubs sleep.
