Chapter 2

3 Months Later……

Wilbur woke with a start. Over the baby monitor in his room, he heard Lydia cry. Even though it was barely midnight, she had woken up four times already. Wilbur jumped up and ran to his sister's bed. He had already forgotten, however, that Lydia was still sleeping in his parents' room.

As he skipped to a stop in front of the crib, he saw his mother already holding Lydia and soothing her cries.

Wilbur breathed heavily, leaning over and resting his hands on his knees. "Wilbur, you don't have to keep coming in. Honey, I think it's really sweet, but don't worry. Your father and I have everything under control."

"Sorry Mom. I just…she's so small, and…I'm not really sure why, but I just…I feel the need to be here, to protect her and make it right." Franny smiled. "That's my little boy. I told you you'd be a good big brother." Wilbur smiled wearily. He went and kissd his baby sister on the forehead. "Night, Lydie. Sweet dreams Mom."

Franny kissed his nose. "Good night, Wilbur."

"Wilbur?" said Cornelius blearily. "You're here again?"

"Yeah Dad. Here again. Go back to sleep, I'm gonna do the same." Cornelius sleepily waved, and Wilbur smiled. He walked back to his room, dragging his feet, and was asleep before his head hit the pillow.

The next morning………

Emily rang Dimitri's doorbell. She made a point to ring them both in turn, as she knew not to get on the twins' bad side. She waved to Lefty, and walked into the kitchen where everyone was enjoying hot cocoa and pancakes for breakfast.

"Hiya Emily," said Aunt Billie, as full of energy in the morning as it was possible to be. "How are ya?"

"Great, Aunt Billie. How're the trains?"

"Perfect as can be. Help yerself to some hotcakes and tell me what's new with you."

"Not much. Hey, where's Wilbur?" They whole family laughed, and explained to Emily that he was still in bed.

"At eleven in the morning? Summer just started. And there are pancakes down here! That's not like him. Is he sick?"

"No," said Cornelius with a grin. "He was up a lot last night. Lydie work up several times, and Wilbur came running every time. He seemed to forget that Fran and I have done this whole 'parent' thing before. He turned out alright, didn't he?" Cornelius looked around at all the smirking faces. "Don't answer that." Everyone laughed.

Franny smiled, and moved Lydia to her other arm. "Why don't you go wake him up Emily. I'm sure he wants pancakes."

Emily smiled, and left the kitchen via travel tube. She ended up just outside Wilbur's room. Even though they'd been dating for a while and had both professed their love for each other, she still thought it was crossing a line to travel tube straight into his room. She knocked on his door loudly, and when she still didn't get an answer, she let herself in.

She tried to stifle a laugh when she looked over to the bed, but she couldn't help herself. Wilbur lay sprawled out half under the covers in his Captain Time Travel pyjamas, holding a beat up old teddy bear. She hadn't seen one of those in ages.

She walked over and kissed him right on the mouth. His eyes flew open in shock, but when he realized what was happening and who was kissing him he smiled and kissed her back. "Mmm, you taste like chocolate," he said. "That's because there's hot cocoa downstairs, Sleeping Beauty. Although, I'm not sure if 'beauty' is the right word. You looked pretty funny when I came in here." Wilbur quickly sat up, and looked around. He shoved his teddy bear under the covers. Emily laughed. "It's okay. I've seen worse. Come downstairs, the whole family's waiting for you. Your mom made pancakes."

"Pancakes?" Wilbur was up and moving in a flash. Emily was left seconds later sitting alone on his bed. She grinned. "Now I know what to say to make him move at six AM." She smiled to herself and went to the travel tube. She's better hurry if she wanted to eat any pancakes, or Wilbur might eat them all.
