Chapter 21
"Um….who's who?" Michael asked, staring into the bassinets a few days later.
"Look at the bracelets," Kira replied. "Mac came up with the idea for them to have little gold ID bracelets to tell them apart. That and Bobbie has a heart shaped birthmark on her butt."
"I'm not looking at their butts," Michael frowned.
"May as well get used to it," Mac said, picking up one of the babies. "We get to watch them on New Year's when everyone goes out."
"I know, and it's going to be awesome," Kira nodded.
"Yeah, it will be fun to play with them," Naomi agreed.
"Maybe to you two, but as cute as they are, my own plans are shot in the ass," Mac snorted.
"It isn't like the folks go out all the time," Leif pointed out. "Dad's not off that often and it beats him sitting around smoking, farting and complaining."
"Your mami won't let him smoke now in the house anyway," Michael reminded him. "Not with the babies around."
"Yeah, and he's having a fit. And Mom could use a night out after carrying these two around in her forever."
"So true!" Kira agreed. "I couldn't even imagine being pregnant with twins. Talk about uncomfortable."
Leif then made a face and sniffed. "Squishy!" he exclaimed toward the cat. "Did you have to drop one now? That's nasty."
"Um, Leif?" Mac spoke up. "That wasn't the cat. Briana just delivered a present in her diaper."
"Ewww! I'm not changing it!" he protested.
"Me neither," Michael added.
"Oh no, you two little monsters, if we're going to watch these babies on New Year's, you're going to change diapers," Mac said sternly.
"But I don't know how," Leif replied as Naomi began to giggle.
"Not funny, Nomi," Michael shot his little sister a look.
"No time like the present to learn," Kira nodded.
"Oh no, Mikey," Leif groaned. "We get to change our first smelly diaper."
"Go get their changing pad and stuff," Mac instructed.
"This is going to be interesting to see," Naomi giggled again. "Boys changing baby diapers."
"Let's say it will be a good learning experience for their futures," Mac smiled at her before the boys came back with the changing supplies.
Kira grabbed a wastebasket from the kitchen and set it down nearby. Mac laid Briana down on the changing pad and began to instruct Leif step by step on changing his baby sister.
He and Michael held their breath as Leif reached out and pulled open the tabs before opening up the diaper.
"GROSSSSSSSSS!!!" Michael yelled. "I'm going to be sick."
"This is nasty," Leif added, coughing.
"Oh come on, it's just a diaper," Naomi reassured them.
"Easy for you to say," Leif replied. "You're not the one changing it."
"All right you two, man up," Kira said, directing them back to the task at hand. "We have to clean Briana up real good or she'll get diaper rash."
Leif sighed as he grabbed some baby wipes from Michael and cleaned Briana up. Mac handed him a clean diaper as Michael gingerly put the wipes and dirty diaper into the wastebasket He bent over to tie up the bag as Leif diapered Briana under Mac and Kira's supervision.
"There," Mac smiled, picking up Briana and cuddling her. "You guys survived. That wasn't so bad."
"Thank God that's over," Leif wrinkled his nose. "Now let's hope Bobbie doesn't do it."
"At least for awhile," Michael answered.
"Again, you both better get used to it," Mac said. "You'll be doing this a lot someday."
"We're back," Brian called as he came into the house with Mariah, Paul and Montana. "Is the house in one piece?"
"You just missed it, Uncle Spanky," Naomi grinned widely. "Leif and Mikey just changed a diaper!"
"Shit and to think I didn't have any video of the grand event," Paul joked.
"It was Briana," Leif answered, making another face. "And she smelled bad."
"Get used to it, son," Brian said. "They usually do for awhile at that age."
"Mac forced us into slave labor," Michael added. "This is what happens when we're outnumbered by girls."
"Tell me all about it, buddy," Paul replied, nodding. "Just another example that women are taking over the world."
"And don't you forget it," Montana quipped. "Now go get the rest of the groceries."
