"What plane is this Donny?" Harry asked his son as he held the boy in front of him, leaning down to kiss the baby on the head as he held him securely so Donovan was facing the planes in the museum. "Does mummy know?" he then asked and glanced at Nikki who was standing next to him and leaning on the buggy that Gabriel was sitting in, kicking his legs and babbling in baby speak.
"No mummy doesn't know" Nikki giggled and rolled her eyes as Harry pouted at her "Mummy isn't an airhead like daddy is"
Harry chuckled and shook his head, patting Donovan's side gently as he turned back to the planes and began to talk to the baby again, pointing to each of them to get Donovan's attention. Nikki liked it that he still talked to the deaf child as though he could hear, she did it as well and it made her happy that neither of them were treating Donovan any differently.
"That's an Avro Vulcan" Harry told their son as he kissed him again, Nikki walking around to the front of the buggy and kneeling down to get Gabriel out when he began to fuss as well. "You know I think I'll start driving lessons soon"
"Really?" Nikki asked without looking away from Gabriel as she gathered the six month old into her arms and then stood up, the baby grabbing onto a strand of her loose hair.
"Hmm, might as well start now. Then we'll be able to get a car at some point which will make it easier to go places with these two" Harry explained and Nikki nodded, moving Gabriel so he could see the plane next to them. "Especially if we're at university for that amount of time, we need to transport these two somehow"
"True" Nikki nodded and glanced at Gabriel who had his eyes trained on the large and obviously very formidable looking fighter jet next to them. "That's a plane" Nikki told him, signing the word for plane. Gabriel watched her before grinning and attempting to copy her, giggling and continuing to do the motion when Nikki praised him for it. Harry smiled at them both before looking at Donovan who was looking at his own hand before putting it in his mouth and chewing on it, dribbling slightly as he looked back at the plane. Harry got his son's attention by tapping his other hand that was gripping at his father's shoulder and Donovan looked at him. Harry then signed the word for plane and pointed at the object next to them.
"That's a plane Donny" Harry told the young child "They're amazing things even though mummy doesn't understand" he chuckled as Nikki rolled her eyes and giggled.
"I do understand"
"Do you really?" Harry asked her incredulously as they began to walk, Harry pushing the pushchair with one hand, his other arm still holding Donovan to his shoulder as the baby looked around at the planes.
"Of course I do" Nikki nodded, walking next to her lover with Gabriel still in her arms. "I understand that your first love is your planes and I come second"
Harry shook his head and Nikki wondered if he knew she was joking.
"No, you and our boys are first and my planes come second" Harry told her and Nikki smiled, placing her free hand on his arm and stopping them. She then leant up and kissed him gently on the lips.
"I know, I was joking" she rolled her eyes but Harry just shrugged as they continued to walk through the large hanger that all the planes were in.
"I just want to make sure you know" Harry shrugged, smiling at his fiancé and receiving a smile back.
"Do you have to steal my food?" Nikki giggled that lunch time as they sat outside on one of the picnic benches, their food on plates in front of them and the twins asleep in the buggy in between them. Harry smirked and chewed on the chip that he had stolen from his lover.
"Of course I do"
"Hmm" Nikki rolled her eyes and picked up a chip herself, chewing on it thoughtfully as she looked down at her sleeping children who were wrapped up in blankets to keep a chill away from them. "At least I don't smother mine in vinegar and salt" she grimaced and Harry chuckled.
"They're yummy"
"It's disgusting" Nikki laughed and looked back at the babies as Donovan began to stir slightly. "Are you having a good day?"
"I am" Harry nodded as Nikki picked up another chip as Harry reached over and covered her other hand with his, entwining their fingers. "It's nice to have them to teach" he chuckled and Nikki giggled at him.
"And I'm sure they appreciate their daddy telling them" Nikki replied, turning to look at Donovan as he began to cry. "Hey my little darling" she murmured, wiping her hands on a napkin and then unclipping the crying baby from the buggy, cradling him against her and kissing his head gently. "You're hungry aren't you?"
She placed Donovan on her lap and wiped the baby's tears as he began to calm down slightly when he saw and sensed his mummy and that he was safe. He then began to sign the word for banana and Nikki couldn't help but chuckle like she did every time one of the twins signed anything, it still surprised her that they could do it already.
"Banana?" Nikki asked as she signed the word and Donovan let out a loud laugh and copied her hands again before clapping, a few more late tears slipping down his face even as he laughed. Nikki then looked up as Harry leant over to the back of the buggy and opened one of the large bags they had there for the twins. He pulled out a box and opened it, taking a banana out from it. "See, look what daddy has" Nikki told Donovan, making sure that her son could see the fruit that Harry was undoing so he knew he was going to get fed.
Donovan giggled and held his hands out for the fruit, clasping his hands in the air as he gurgled loudly and grinned. Harry then leant over and handed the peeled fruit to his son, Nikki making sure Donovan could see her before signing the word for 'thank you' and saying the word as well. Donovan looked at her for a few seconds before grinning and putting the banana in his mouth, squeezing it tightly and making it ooze between his fingers as he continued to grin. Nikki wiped the few stray tears from his cheeks and leant down to kiss his blonde hair.
"You like your bananas don't you Donovan" Nikki told the baby even though he couldn't hear and she looked up as Gabriel started to stir, bringing his hands up to his eyes as he began to whimper slightly. Harry quickly took the six month old from the buggy and cradled him against him, kissing his head gently and attempting to soothe the baby before he began to cry and it would be hard to soothe him again.
"He needs a change" Harry told Nikki who nodded and stood up "I can.."
"There aren't proper changing tables in the men's" Nikki reminded Harry who remembered and nodded in agreement. She then walked around the table and placed Donovan on Harry's lap, rolling her eyes as he grinned and patted Harry's shirt with his banana covered hand. "Oops"
"I'll give you 'oops' Nicola" Harry tutted but Nikki saw the amusement on his face as she took the now crying Gabriel from his lap and held him against her, reaching back onto the buggy for their changing bag.
"Won't be long" Nikki smiled, the toilets were only a few minutes away, Harry nodded and changed all of his attention to Donovan, beginning to sign to the baby about how he loved him. Nikki smiled and couldn't resist pressing a kiss to the top of Harry's head before turning and walking towards the toilets.
