Chapter Fifteen

The crib, high chairs, and play pen were delivered and they were assembled outside and brought into the main house by using the arcadia doors and the crib was carried in sections up the stairs to the room that was being prepared for the nursery which was adjacent to Seto and Joey's room. Robert with Roland's help put the crib together, overhead was a mobile of different animal characters. They high chairs were placed in the kitchen and they playpen was sitting in the living room.

When the clothing and other things were delivered, Helga with the help from Denise the head housekeeper, they put the things away and they talked about how those boys lives were about to change. "Do they know that with twins, that sometimes when one is awake the other one is asleep and the one that is awake can sometimes wake up the sleeping one and then all hell will break out?" Denise asked.

Helga laughed and said "I will let them know and I only hope that they have the strength of twenty men to be able to deal with twins and the sleeplessness that they are going to have." When they were done, Denise went back to her work and Helga went to talk to Seto and Joey. When she told them all about what might happen, Seto smiled at her and said "we can take it, don't worry." Helga only smiled back and when she saw Roland standing there listening they exchanged glances and they both smiled as if to say "seeing is believing."

After dinner, Seto, Joey and Mokie played with the little ones and it was a sight to see. Roland had bought a video camera and was taping them. Helga would stand there watching like an old mother bear, ready to step in at the first sign of danger. That's what made Roland smile and when he filmed her fierce expression and she caught him, we'll lets just say that she wasn't very happy.

Then came the real test. It was time for bed and as everyone said good-night to Seto, Joey and the little ones, Helga hoped that they would sleep through the night, but guess what? They didn't. Shawn decided to wake up and upon seeing no one there, he started whimpering which turned into screaming in turn he woke up Shannon who started screaming too. Both Seto and Joey sat straight up and fell out of bed, then they ran to the nursery and picked up their babies and as soon as they were being held they stopped screaming and smiled at them.

Seto and Joey changed them and then they sat in the rocking chairs and rocked their son and daughter and when they were asleep they quietly laid them back in the crib and as quietly as they could be they went back to bed and just when they started to doze off, the screaming started again and again they fell out of bed. This went on for a good part of the night, and just before dawn the babies fell asleep and both Seto and Joey looked like they had just fought a war, they had dark circles under their eyes and they were staggering as they stumbled back to bed and fell asleep. They got exactly two hours of sleep before the babies were ready to begin their day. Seto mumbled "welcome to parenthood" and they began to laugh.

Shannon and Shawn finally got use to their new surroundings and started sleeping through out the night and their parents were very happy. As they started to grow and it didn't take them long to want to crawl and one day when Shannon who was a little bigger and when she put Joey's finger in her mouth and bit down, he discovered that she was cutting a tooth. The expression of "what happened" that was on his face caused Mokie to nearly choke on the apple that he was eating because he started to laugh. It wasn't to long after her that Shawn cut his first tooth and poor Roland was the precipitant of the finger being bitten, and it was Helga who witnessed that and she nearly fell down laughing at his face.

The babies started crawling and Helga decided that it was time that Seto and Joey went out and bought the best walkers for the little ones, which they did and then it became a race to keep them together. They each wanted to explore a different room and off they went. The adults chasing them and laughing their heads off as they did.
