Steve and Catherine looked around but no one was to be found. Steve was about to pull out his cell phone to call Lauren when the door opened. Catherine and Steve watched as the door opened. Lauren stepped in with the stroller.
"Hey guys, you're already home," Lauren greeted them. "I just took the twins for a stroll."
"That's fine," Steve replied.
"Hey you two," Catherine spoke to the twins who smiled as they heard their mommy.
Catherine picked Kailani up and gave her a kiss. Kye started crying and wanted to be held too so Steve picked him up.
"How were they today?" Catherine asked.
"They were fine. They slept a bit in the afternoon. After they woke up I took them for a stroll. I hope that's alright."
"Yeah sure, it's fine."
"Great. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Yes see ya. Thanks for watching them."
"No problem. They are great kids."
"Thanks."
Steve showed her out as Catherine sat down on the couch with Kailani. Steve handed Kye to her and went to make dinner. Catherine sat on the couch and looked at her babies. She had missed them today but she liked being back at work again.
Steve peaked out of the kitchen and watched his wife with the twins. It was such a beautiful picture. He loved his family so much. He was so grateful to have Catherine and these two babies. He felt so lucky. Catherine looked up and saw him looking at them. She gave him a sweet smile. Steve smiled back at her and disappeared into the kitchen.
They sat the twins in their swing chairs as Catherine and Steve had dinner. The kids were pretty quiet during dinner. They giggled as Steve and Catherine swung them back and forth a bit.
Steve went to clean up after dinner while Catherine fed the twins. She first took Kye and sat down to feed him. Kye looked up to her with his green eyes as he sucked on her breast. He definitely had Steve's eyes. He was such a cute little boy. Catherine stroked his cheek as he drank.
After she was done feeding Kye she went to get Kailani. Kailani looked more like her mommy. She had Catherine's eyes. She looked a lot like Catherine when she was a baby.
After Steve was done cleaning up and Catherine done with feeding the babies they took them upstairs for bath. Steve bathed Kye while Catherine bathed Kailani. They both loved being in the water. Kye giggled as Steve tickled him while he bathed him.
They finished bathing them, dried them off and put them in their cribs. They put on their music mobiles before going back down.
….
The twins were now 4 months old. Catherine was still working 3 days a week. Lauren was a good nanny. Steve and Catherine were glad to have her. They babies had really grown already. They could stand up a little if they were being held. They started the babble a bit. It wasn't much yet but it sounded so cute.
It was a beautiful Saturday so Steve and Catherine decided to take the babies to the pool. Steve took Kye with him to get dressed and Catherine took Kailani once they were at the pool. They found a spot to put their towels. They inflated the babies' floaters before taking them in the water. They both had a sunhat on and were wearing sun lotion. It was the first time they had taken the babies swimming. They guided the babies through the water. They both loved it. They kicked their little legs trying to move forward in the water. It looked so cute. They were all smiles as they were guided through the water. They took the babies to the kid's pool and helped them down the slide. Catherine went to get the camera as Steve played with them. Catherine took a couple pictures of them going down the slide and of them sitting on the bouncy animals.
They stayed there for a few hours before taken the babies home. The babies fell asleep on the ride home so Steve and Catherine put them in their cribs when they got home. Steve and Catherine enjoyed the time with just the two of them. They lay outside in the hammock. Catherine lay in between Steve's legs with her back against his chest. Steve had his arms around her.
"I love lying like this," Catherine spoke.
"Yeah me too. The view is so beautiful from this spot."
"Yes it is. I love you Steve."
"I love you too Cath."
They lay there until the babies woke up. They babies had started to sleep through the night which Steve and Catherine were happy about.
Catherine went to put the babies in bed after dinner and bath. Steve went downstairs and lighted some candles around the living room and poured them a glass of red wine. There was soft music playing in the background when Catherine walked back down. She saw candles lit and two glasses of wine standing on the table. Steve walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of popcorn.
"What's this Steve?" Catherine asked surprised.
"Just a nice romantic evening with just the two of us."
"That's nice."
They sat together on the couch and watch a romantic movie. Steve let Catherine pick. They ended up watching The Notebook. Steve didn't like this movie but Catherine loved it so he was happy to watch it.
When the movie had ended Steve scooped her up in his arms and took her upstairs. He gently put her down on the bed as he kissed her.
"Steve, wait. Let me just go check on the twins first."
"Okay, hurry back."
Catherine went to check on Kye and Kailani. They were both peacefully asleep. Quickly Catherine walked back to the bedroom. When she walked back into the bedroom Steve was sitting against the headboard in just his boxers. Catherine took her blouse and pants off and walked to the bed.
Steve looked at Catherine as she walked to the bed. She still looked so good, even after having twins. Steve watched her as she straddled him. Steve moved his arms around her and kissed her. Catherine moved her arms around his neck and kissed him back. Steve deepened the kiss and pulled her closer. Catherine eagerly opened her mouthed when Steve swiped his tongue over her bottom lip. Their tongues where battling for dominance as Steve unhooked Catherine's bra. Steve pushed the straps of her arms and threw her bra on the floor.
Catherine arched her back as she felt Steve's lips on her breasts. Steve grunted against her breasts as Catherine started moving back and forth.
After a while Steve couldn't take it anymore and turned them around. Quickly he took of her panties and his boxers. He pushed himself inside of her. Catherine was in heaven as Steve moved in and out of her. He was always so passionate when they made love. Catherine wrapped her legs around his waist to pull him closer. This felt so good.
It didn't take her long after that to get really close. When Steve used his hands on her she was gone. Steve joined her. They moaned loudly as they came. Steve collapsed down on top of her when they were finished. They were both breathing heavily.
"Wow, that was good," Catherine uttered.
"Yes it was. Really good," Steve responded as he pulled out of her and rolled off of her.
Catherine turned on her side and faced him. "Thank you honey."
"You're welcome honey."
Steve gathered her in his arms and kissed her. "I love you Cath."
"I love you too Steve."
They fell asleep in each other's arms.
They next morning they woke up by the babies crying. Steve quickly dressed himself and went to get the babies.
"Good morning my little sweeties," Steve spoke as he walked into the room.
Both Kye and Kailani were begging to be held as they heard their father's voice. Steve picked up both babies and took them downstairs. He put the babies in their bouncy chairs and put a bottle in the bottle warmer. He first fed Kye. Kailani was lying peacefully in her bouncy chair chewing on her teething ring.
Once Steve was done with Kye he fed Kailani. Steve loved feeding his babies. They always looked up to him with their beautiful eyes. They looked so cute lying in his arms sucking on the pacifier.
Once both kids were fed Steve took them upstairs to get dressed before taking them outside. He put the kids in their swing chairs in the shade and sat in between them. He gently pushed them back and forth. The kids were smiling as he did.
A little later Catherine woke up. She opened the door to the balcony and heard Steve outside. She walked out onto the balcony and looked down at Steve with their babies. It looked so cute. He was just so sweet as a daddy. Seeing him like this just made her love him even more. She went back inside and got dressed. She walked downstairs and walked outside.
"Hey Steve," Catherine greeted him.
Steve looked up as he heard his wife's voice. "Hey Cath."
Catherine walked up to him and gave him a kiss. "Hey Kailani, are you having fun with daddy?" Catherine spoke as she tickled her tummy causing Kailani to laugh.
"Yeah, she's loving it."
"About what about you Kye? Are you loving it too?" Catherine tickled his tummy too.
"Yeah they love being in their swing chairs."
"Yes they do. Do you want some breakfast?"
"No thanks, I already had."
Catherine walked inside and got herself some breakfast.
….
They had an appointment that Monday for the babies. They babies were growing well and they were both healthy.
"They are doing very well but I can see that their teeth are starting to come through so they could have some trouble with that. If that hurts too much you can come back and we'll see what we can do, but it's normal that it hurts a bit. Usually a teething ring or something will help."
"We already have one of those for them," Catherine told him.
"That's good."
Catherine and Steve left the office and dropped the babies off at home before going to work. When they came home that day Kailani was crying at the top of her lungs. Catherine grabbed her from Lauren.
"I'm sorry, nothing I did seems to be working," Lauren said apologetic.
"It's okay. It's probably her teeth coming through," Catherine spoke as she tried to calm down Kailani with the teething ring.
Lauren left as Catherine sat down on the couch with Kailani. A little later Kailani seemed to calm down. Catherine handed her to Steve as she went to cook dinner.
"Hey little girl, it's okay. Are you teeth bothering you?" Steve talked to her.
Steve lay down on the couch and laid Kailani down on his chest. She lay peacefully on his chest with her teething ring.
When it was time for dinner Steve picked the two kids up and put them in their chairs. As Steve and Catherine ate they fed the twins as well, they had some mashed potatoes and vegetables. Kailani had a bit of trouble eating since her teeth were coming through but she ate pretty well. Steve cleaned up after dinner as Catherine went to get the babies ready for bath. Catherine filled the big tub since she and Steve were going in the bath with them. Catherine got in first and Steve handed Kailani to her. Steve got in with Kye. They guided the babies through the water. Kye was kicking his little legs, trying to swim a bit. As Steve held him still in the water he tried to splash the water with his hands. It looked so cute. Steve brought him up and blew kisses on his tummy causing Kye to laugh. Kailani was lying peacefully in Catherine's arms enjoying the water.
Steve got out first with Kye. He dried Kye off and wrapped him in a towel and put him in his bouncy chair. He dried himself off and got dressed before taking Kye to the babies' room to get dressed. He put a new diaper on him and put his pajama on and placed him in his crib. Kye didn't like it and started crying.
"Daddy will be back soon, I just gotta get your sister," Steve calmly spoke to him and tried to get him to suck on his pacifier but Kye wouldn't take it.
Steve knew Kye wanted to be held but he had to get Kailani so Catherine could get dried off. Steve decided to let him cry for a while and went to get Kailani.
"What's Kye crying about?" Catherine asked concerned.
"He just wants to be held. I'll pick him up as soon as I've dressed Kailani," Steve replied as he took Kailani from Catherine.
"I'll be right there."
Catherine walked in as Steve was dressing Kailani. She walked to Kye's crib and picked him up.
"Hey sweetie, it's okay." Kye calmed down as soon as Catherine picked him up. "There that's better."
Catherine sat down on the rocking chair and fed Kye. Steve finished dressing Kailani and held her. Once Catherine was done feeding Kye he handed Kailani to her and took Kye from her to burp him.
"Au," Catherine spoke as Kailani latched onto her breast.
"You okay Cath?" Steve asked concerned.
"Yeah, she's just using her teeth a bit."
"Oh okay, you want me to give her the bottle the next time?"
"No, it's okay. It only hurts when she's using her teeth."
Steve held his son in his arms and gently rocked him. He was falling asleep so Steve put him in his crib. Catherine put Kailani in her crib as well before they went downstairs.
They sat down on the couch and watched a movie on TV. A little later they heard a cry coming over the baby monitor.
"I'll go," Steve said.
He went upstairs and found a crying Kye. He had lost his pacifier. Steve put the pacifier back in his mouth and Kye starting sucking on it immediately.
"There you go buddy, that's better," Steve spoke quietly, not wanting to wake up Kailani.
Steve gave Kye a soft kiss on his head and went back downstairs.
"Kye lost his pacifier," Steve told Catherine went he came downstairs. "He's asleep already again."
"Good."
Just before they went to bed Kailani started crying. Steve took her out and took her to his bedroom so she wouldn't wake up Kye. Kailani was bothered by her teeth coming through. Kailani didn't want her teething ring so Steve used his fingers. Kailani calmed down as she sucked on Steve's fingers. Steve put his finger on her gum where her teeth were coming through.
"There that's better sweetie."
Once she calmed down Steve got her to suck on her pacifier. She lay peacefully in his arms. Steve gently rocked her in his arms until she had fallen asleep again. He got up and walked to her bedroom. He gave her a soft kiss and gently put her back in her crib.
…
Today was Steve and Catherine's first anniversary. Steve had asked Lauren if she could watch the kids tonight since Steve wanted to go do something special with Catherine. Lauren didn't mind.
"Good morning honey," Steve spoke when they woke up.
"Good morning baby," Catherine replied as she gave Steve a kiss.
"Happy anniversary Cath."
"Happy anniversary Steve," Catherine replied smiling. "I can't believe it's our first anniversary already."
"Yeah me neither. So much has happened in the first year. It's definitely been the happiest year of my life."
"Mine too. I love you and I love our babies."
"I love you too. You three are my life."
Steve kissed Catherine. He was about to take it a step further when they babies started crying. Steve sighed with disappointment.
"They have bad timing," Steve spoke.
"Yes they have. We'll finish this tonight."
"I'll hold you to that."
Steve gave her a quick kiss before he got out and went to get his babies.
They day at the office passed pretty quickly. Before Steve and Catherine knew it they were already on their way back home.
"Hey Lauren," Catherine greeted as they walked in.
"Hey Catherine, hey Steve," Lauren greeted back.
Kye and Kailani were lying on their play mats looking up at the things dangling above them. Steve and Catherine walked over to them. Kye and Kailani smiled as they saw their parents. They both gave them a kiss. Steve and Catherine went upstairs to go change for dinner.
"You look beautiful," Steve told Catherine once she was dressed.
"Thanks you, you look very handsome too."
Steve pulled Catherine to him and kissed her.
Catherine pushed his away after a while. "After dinner Steve."
"We've skipped dinner before," Steve spoke with a grin.
"I know, but not tonight. We'll have enough time for this after we come back from dinner. You just have to wait. I'll make it worth your while."
"I'll hold you to that."
Steve gave her one more kiss before he went downstairs and Catherine went to apply some make-up and fix her hair.
Steve explained to Lauren what to do for dinner with the twins.
"Don't worry Steve, we'll be fine. Just enjoy your evening together."
"Thank you for watching them tonight."
"You're welcome."
"We're going out to dinner so we should be back somewhere between 10 and 11pm I think."
"That's fine. Just enjoy the evening."
"Thanks. You too. And if there's something you can call us."
"I will but don't worry about us."
Steve and Catherine left. Steve had made reservations at their favorite restaurant. The food was so delicious there. In between meals Steve stole some kisses from Catherine. As they were waiting for their desserts Steve pulled out his present for Catherine and handed it to her. Catherine took the present and opened it. Her mouth flew open with amazement when she saw what was in it.
"Oh my god Steve, this is beautiful. Thank you."
It was a beautiful necklace in the shape of a heart. On the front stood their initials and on the back the initials of Kye and Kailani. Steve took it out of the box and put it around Catherine's neck.
"Thank you Steve, this is beautiful," Catherine told him and she gave him a kiss.
"You're welcome Cath, I'm glad you like it."
"I love it and I love you."
"I love you too," Steve replied and gave her another kiss.
"Now your present."
Catherine fished in her purse and pulled out Steve's present. She handed it to Steve and watched anxiously as Steve opened it. She hoped he would like it. Steve opened the present and was amazed by what he found inside. It was a beautiful hand crafted knife.
"Where did you get this?"
"I still have some contacts from my Navy days. He tracked this down for me in Japan and sent it to me."
"It's beautiful. Thank you honey," Steve told her and gave her a kiss.
"You're welcome honey."
The finished their desserts and went back home. Steve couldn't wait to take her upstairs and show her how much he loved her.
"Hey," Catherine spoke as they walked in.
"Hey, you two. Did you have a nice dinner?"
"Yes it was very nice. We had a great time."
"That's good."
"Thank you again for watching them. Are they asleep already?"
"You're welcome. Yes they are asleep. I gave them dinner and read them a story before putting them in bed. Kailani woke up about 20 minutes ago with a dirty diaper. Kye has been asleep the entire time."
"That's good. Thank you and we'll see you Monday."
"Yes see you."
As soon as Lauren had left Steve pulled Catherine to him and kissed her deeply and passionately. Steve pushed her against the door as he lifted her up. Catherine automatically wrapped her legs around his waist.
Steve pushed himself against her and Catherine felt how turned on he already was. Steve grinded his hips against her as he moved his lips down to her neck. Catherine moaned as he Steve kissed her spot. She was glad she wasn't standing on her legs, they would have given out by now. Catherine moved her hands in between them and started to work on the buttons of his shirt. She desperately wanted to feel his skin under her fingers. Steve kept dry humping her as she worked on his shirt. Finally she had all the buttons free and she pushed the shirt off his body and trailed her hands over his chest. He was so muscular. Steve unzipped her dressed and pushed it to her waist before reaching behind her to undo her bra. Within seconds the bra was tossed on the floor and Steve's lips were on her breasts. He never stopped moving his hips. If Steve kept this going Catherine was going to last long. Steve applied to more pleasure and Catherine couldn't hold it in anymore. She moaned loudly as she reached her peak. Steve smirked to her once she came down.
"Steve, bedroom, now," Catherine begged.
All kissing Steve walked upstairs with her in his arms. Catherine worked on his pants as they walked upstairs. Steve almost stumbled when he felt her hand on him. He pushed Catherine against the wall just outside their bathroom and rested his head on her shoulder. The actions Catherine was doing were driving him crazy. It was so good. She knew exactly what he liked. If she kept this up he was going to explode soon.
"Cath," Steve moaned.
Catherine knew what she was doing to him but she didn't care. She wanted to return the favor.
"Cath, stop," Steve grunted.
"You seem to be enjoying it," Catherine teased.
"I am. But it'll be over way too fast if you don't stop."
"That's okay. We can always start again."
Catherine squeezed him hard and sped up her movements. Steve came with a loud grunt as he emptied himself in his boxers.
"God Cath, that was good."
"Stop talking and move to the bedroom. I want you."
Steve didn't have to be told twice. He quickly took the remainder of their clothes off and put Catherine on the bed before moving between her legs and pushed himself inside of her.
They ended up making love for hours. Exhausted but very content they fell asleep in each other's arms.
…
The babies were now 6 months old. Both babies had their teeth now. They were starting to crawl a bit. It looked so cute when they tried to move. They could stand a bit when someone held them.
Catherine was grocery shopping while Steve stayed home with the kids. Kailani was lying in her playpen and Kye was on Steve's lap. Steve held him as Kye stood on his legs. He bounced him up and down and gave blowing kisses to his tummy.
Catherine walked through the aisle and suddenly stopped when she saw the pregnancy tests. She hadn't thought about it before but she wasn't feeling well for a while and she should have gotten her period a few days ago. She bought one and would take it when she got home.
"Hey Steve," Catherine greeted as she walked in and found Steve with Kailani on his lap.
"Hey Cath, you need a hand?"
"No, I'm good thanks."
Catherine put the groceries away. She took the pregnancy test and went to the bathroom. She took the test and waited anxiously for the result.
