A/N: This is chapter 2! Hey, just to say, this story is like an after story of "Of Hats and Tea." Which isnt even complete yet, but thats alright. You might want to read that first before you read this.
Cameron and Daphne are the twins of Alice and Hatter, and they're both six here.
Daphne and Cameron sat on the couch, trying to read a book.
"And Johnson was trying to open the door..." Cameron mumbled. I turned around to face him.
"Cam, where'd you learn to read so clearly?" I asked him, a smile growing on my lips.
"Tony taught me!" He giggled. Anthony was a couple of months older than Daphne and Cameron, yet he was a genius. He had learned to read at age three, and he is learning math, for the fun of it. I never met a kid like him before.
"Did he? Well, we should thank him, no?" I ruffled his overgrown blonde hair, causing it to fall in his face.
"I already did. Now he is trying to teach Daphne." I looked over to my daughter, who was squinting at the page. She didnt respond at the mention of her name.
"Well, thats good." I replied. Cameron skipped back over to the couch, bringing his book with him.
"Cricket, im back!" A voice rang through the castle. We had gotten new chambers since we had gotten married. I turned around and found Tarrant standing near the entrance, beaming.
"Daddy!" Daphne and Cameron squealed at the same time. Tarrant spread his arms wide and the twins ran into them, hugging him close.
"Camo! Daphy!" He laughed, hugging his children.
"Daddy! I can read!" Cameron eagerly told Hatter. I giggled at his excitment.
"Really? Has Anthony been giving you lessons?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. A tiny blush was at Camerons cheeks.
"Maybe..." He looked down at his feet, a small smile on his lips. Tarrant ruffled his hair and placed a kiss on Daphne's blonde head. Both of them were blonde. Which was completly bizarre. I was at least expecting Daphne to have Hatter's red hair. But she had his eye color changing abilities. When she was angry, her eyes turned a dark red. When she was sad, her eyes were a pale blue. When she was happy and calm, her eyes were purple.
Cameron was a mini me. He had my hair, my eyes, my personality. But he did have his fathers creativity and....madness. The boy was very strange. But I loved him even more for that.
"Hello, cricket." He placed a kiss on my lips and smiled.
"How was work?" I asked. He had no doubt been in his workshop all day, making hats.
"Fine. I made a beautiful hat for Mirana, and she loved it. I think I spoil her to much." He joked.
"Oh daddy, I wanted to ask you about something, but you left early today. " Daphne sat back down on the couch.
"And what is that?" He asked, setting Cameron on his lap.
"What is this?" She took something out of her pocket. It was square, half open, and ruberry. It was a condom.
My eyes widenened, and blush crept up to my cheeks. I looked at Tarrant, who was staring at Daphne in shock. Where had she found that?!
"Uh..Daphne...where did you get that?" Tarrant stuttered.
"Well, you were in such a rush this morning. This fell out of your pocket." She replied, closing her book and placing it on the floor beside her feet. I stared at Hatter. Why was that in his pocket. Then memories flooded in from the night before. We were going to use it, but decided against it. "So what is it?"
"Ew, Daphne dont touch it!" Cameron squealed in disgust. Daphne dropped the rubber onto the floor.
"Why? Do you know what it is?" She asked him, hoping to get an answer.
"Yes, but dont touch it! Thats a condom!" He continued to squeal. I blinked several times before turning to my son.
"And you know this how?" I asked his sternly, shocked. How did this boy no this stuff?
"Tony told me." He responded inoccently.
"And how does Anthony know?" Tarrant chimed in, worried that maybe Anthony knew to much.
"Auntie Mirana told him." Cameron took a peice of long blonde hair and put it behind one ear.
"Alright well, please don't ask Anthony for anymore information. We will provide you with it later on in your life." I explained, and they both nodded their heads. Then, the clock rang eight thirty.
"Time for bed!" Tarrant broke the awkward silence. I picked up Cameron, and Tarrant gathered Daphne in his arms. We carried them into their room, walking through the halls of the castle.
As we walked down the hall, Mirana, Anthony, and Dedrick passed us. Anothony slept in Dedrick's arms, snoring lightly.
What an awkward situation, I thought. We giggled at each other, noticing that we were practically looking in a mirror. We exchanged good nights, and moved on. I kissed Daphne's and Camerons foreheads, and so did Tarrant. We turned out the lights and closed the door behind us.
