Lizzie opened her eyes slowly and rubbed them with her tiny hands. She let out a long yawn, satisfied with the long night's sleep she had accomplished. She stretched and sat up, but not before noticing her father in the room, waking up Derek. He lifted him into his arms and pressed a kiss to the side of his head. Lizzie smiled and said, "Papí." Eric turned around and smiled at his little girl. He walked over to her bed and lifted her into his free arm. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed a sloppy kiss to his cheek causing him to chuckle.

"Good morning to you, too, mija."

He then exited the room, with the two of them in his arms and descended the staircase. "Coaster, papí, coaster!" Eric smiled at Derek's request. Ever since he had been the one to wake then up on a morning, he used to take them down the stairs, in both arms and pretend they were going down a rollercoaster. Lizzie and Derek thought of it as the highlight of their day, however, that quickly changed as the day progressed.

Eric chuckled and lifted them both a little higher onto his waist, making sounds that a typical rollercoaster would make. He threw them around his body, keeping them secure in his arms. The twins seemed to enjoy this ritual immensely as they demanded it every morning from their papí. Eric enjoyed the happiness of his children, so doing it was not a difficult task for him, especially not today.

The twins knew that today was a special day, but only because Eric had informed them the previous night…

"Okay, so do you guys understand why you're going by abuelo y abuela mañana?" Eric asked, switching effortlessly to Spanish. The twins nodded, but Lizzie responded, "Abuelita is coming fow us after school, sí?"

Eric nodded his head, "You got it, princesa."

Lizzie grinned then turned to face her brother, "Seepover by abuelita!" Eric chuckled at her excitement and her mispronunciation of words, which both he and Calleigh thought to be utterly adorable. Derek soon jumped up from the floor and started to jump up and down with Lizzie, not quite understanding her excitement, but feeling to be energetic that night.

Eric sighed and looked at his children, tonight was going to be ridiculous to get them to sleep…

Eric set the two down in their chairs in the kitchen. Calleigh had asked for him to install two booster seats next to the island in the kitchen, because the never really made it to the dining room to eat meals unless it was a special occasion. He quickly installed them and two other chairs for him and Calleigh. Every morning Eric would get the kids and he would make breakfast with the two watching him intently.

This morning Lizzie was watching Derek instead. Noticing how his eyes followed every one of Eric's moves intently. He seemed to be purely amazed by his father. Lizzie smiled, then looked at her father as well. Watched in amazement as he prepared something he normally wouldn't. Their eyes followed his figure as he walked from the fridge to the stove, to the sink, to the stove once again, and back to the fridge. Neither knew what he was making, but neither of them could wait.

"Mamí!" Lizzie exclaimed as Calleigh rounded the corner into their room. "Hey baby," Calleigh said, lifting her into her arms, "Ready for school?"

Lizzie nodded her head vigourously. "But Dewek not weady yet," she informed Calleigh in a serious tone. Calleigh could not help but chuckle at that before looking over to he husband, who was trying, unsuccessfully, to dress Derek. Both girls giggled as Derek wriggled out of Eric's arms and ran across the room and sat on his bed.

"Babe, you want some help?"

Eric stopped and looked at his wife, who just shrugged nonchalantly. Eric shook his head and replied, slightly out of breath, "No, I'm gonna get him, don't worry."

Calleigh bit her bottom lip, holding back a laugh and nodded. Derek smiled mischievously at his father as he saw him approaching slowly, like a tiger about to pounce on its prey. He stood on the bed, ready to evade the hunter's attack. Eric approached slowly, calculating the possible results of his 'attack'. Derek grinned and jumped up and down on the bed, clapping his hands, almost taunting Eric. Calleigh and Lizzie watched on, amused looks on their faces as the scene played out in front of them.

Eric leapt forward onto the bed, only to have Derek jump to the side, land on his pillow and slide off the bed as Eric recollected himself. Calleigh burst out laughing and clutched Lizzie closer in her fits of laughter, trying not to drop her. Lizzie squealed and laughed as well, clapping her hands to applaud Derek. Eric sat on the bed, defeated and propped his elbows up on his knees, resting his head in his hands.

Calleigh fought back her laughter upon seeing her husband's position, "You sure you don't want my help anymore?" Eric's head shot up, and he gave Calleigh a glare that could kill, if possible. Calleigh giggled and rested Lizzie in his lap. She then turned to face Derek who stood on the opposite side of the room, a smug grin on his face.

"Okay little guy, you're goin' down."

Derek placed his hands over his mouth and giggled. "Oh, you think that's funny do you?" Derek nodded, the grin still evident on his face. Calleigh's eyes narrowed, "Well then you're about to have some pretty bad luck, mister Delko. Cuz I am significantly faster than your old man over there." A sound of disapproval came from behind Calleigh, she knew it was from Eric, so she giggled.

She spread her legs and her arms, motioning for Derek to make the first move, which she knew he wasn't going to make. Derek's eyes twinkled with excitement and anxiety as he realised how skilled his opponent really was. She approached him slowly at first, taking each step with caution and ease. She then took two quick steps forward, causing him to jump and laugh with excitement. She smiled as a result and continued her slow and steady approach. She got closer and closer to Derek's excited form as he jumped up and down in the same spot excited.

"Go mamí!"

Derek's eyes wandered from his opponent to Lizzie, who had uttered the distracting two words. Calleigh took this opportunity and grabbed him by the waist and lifted him in the air, causing him to laugh out loud. She brought him back down and blew a raspberry into his bare belly, which evoked a loud squeal from his mouth. Calleigh smiled and shifted him onto her hip and walked over to the bed.

"Now, where's your shirt, mijo?"

After Calleigh and Eric had dropped the twins off at the day care the first thing Lizzie had done was run to the corner with the Bratz and Barbie dolls. She had a friend there, Kani, who also loved playing with the dolls there. Neither girl's parents would allow them to bring their dolls to the day care, for fear they would be forgotten or lost, so the girls had become pretty attached to the dolls there.

Kani had taken to the tanned, Hispanic doll, who she named, Isabella; while Lizzie had taken to the blonde doll, who she called, Mariposa, her favourite word at the time. The two friends would sit there at the table in the back and brush the dolls' hair, dress them and re-dress them countless times, and take them to the 'mall'. It is safe to say that the girls had a fun filled day until snack time came around.

"Kids! It's snack time! Go and get your lunch kits!" Miss Chelcie would shout across the room, causing the children to often squeal with joy and run to their cubbyholes. Lizzie and Kani, usually the last to get their lunch kits, were the first to the cubbyholes this time, simply because they had agreed to switch snacks and lunches today. They quickly grabbed their kits and walked back to their table in the back, where they proceeded to empty the contents. Lizzie pulled out apple slices in a plastic bag, and another with a single chocolate chip cookie. She smiled then looked at Kani, who pulled out a bag full of seedless grapes and a small packet of Oreos. They promptly switched snacks and began to eat.

On the other side of the room, Derek sat on the end of a long table with his new friend Tony. They both pulled out their snacks, and began to eat as well. Derek's new friend both surprised and excited his parents, because the day he started talking to Tony, he immediately informed his parents of everything the moment he saw them.

Derek sat on the floor beside his abuelo, and pushed his toy truck forward and back on the wood. "Voom voom," he said. Pavel smiled slightly, silently thanking God that Derek seemed to be progressing so quickly. He watched in admiration at his grandson, admiration for who he is and what he has overcome. For such a young boy to overcome such a huge hurdle in life shall never cease to amaze Pavel.

He looked up and saw Lizzie playing with her doll on Clorinda's lap. It was her favourite doll, one that Pavel had purchased for her on his last trip to Cuba. It was a unique doll, one without a brand, but was beautiful nonetheless. Ever since he had given it to her she had become extremely attached to it, and he was glad.

The front door then opened. "Hello?"

"In here, mijo," Clorinda answered.

Eric and Calleigh then came around the corner into the living room. Derek then jumped up and ran into Eric's legs. Eric chuckled and lifted him up, "Hey buddy, what's up?"

"Made a new friend, papí!"

Eric's eyes widened and he grinned upon hearing those words come out of Derek's mouth. "Really?"

Derek nodded his head vigourously, "Yea, his name is Tony, he is awesome." Eric had to chuckle at the last word, because it came out more like "Awthum".

Eric turned to face Calleigh, who was grinning from ear to ear. "That's great, Der, really great."

After snack time came the special day that all of the children looked forward to. Every Thursday was movie day at the day care. They would all sit on the carpet in the middle of the room and watch a movie that the teachers picked out. Today, it was Derek and Lizzie's favourite, Finding Nemo. Upon miss Chelcie announcing the title of the movie Derek and Lizzie squealed with joy. They jumped up and down and ran to the carpet, dragging their new friends behind them.

After the movie had finished, it was time for lunch. Once again, Lizzie and Kani had traded lunches, Lizzie having a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and Kani having a hotdog. The two girls chatted animatedly about everything they could think of while eating their lunch. But the main topic of their conversation was Lizzie's sleepover tonight.

"I'm seeping over by abuelo y abuela tonight," she informed Kani. Kani had no idea what 'abuelo y abuela' meant, but since Lizzie was excited she was happy.

"I've never been to a seepover, but heard it's fun," Kani said. Lizzie nodded. Then a grin broke out on her face, "I gots an idea! What if you seepover by me?"

Kani smiled widely and nodded her head, "Yea! I'll ask momma when she comes!" The two friends could not help but smile for the rest of the day.

Derek looked up from the building blocks he was playing with and saw two familiar faces. He smiled and jumped up from his seat. "Abuelo! Abuela!" he shouted as he ran towards them. Pavel chuckled and lifted him off the floor into his arms, hugging him.

"Hello, my baby," Clorinda said, ruffling his hair playfully, "Where's tu hermana?"

Before Derek could reply, Clorinda's legs were attacked by Lizzie, "Abuela!"

Clorinda smiled and knelt down to Lizzie's eye level, "How was school, cariña?"

Lizzie smiled and said, "We watched Nemo!" Clorinda smiled, knowing that it was the twins' favourite movie.

"Why don't you go and get your stuff, we have your bags in the car already," Pavel said to Lizzie who nodded. He set Derek down and he ran after Lizzie to retrieve their belongings while Clorinda and Pavel signed to confirm that they were picking up Lizzie and Derek today.

Less than three minutes later the twins returned, lunch kits and schoolbags in hand and the four exited the building.

The moment Derek and Lizzie were placed in their car seats they began to talk about their day. How much fun Lizzie had playing dolls with Kani. How Derek wants to get blocks for Christmas. How excited Lizzie was at the idea of Kani spending the night by them. The loving grandparents smiled in the front seats, glad that they had lived to see this day.

As they approached the house Pavel asked, "How about pizza for dinner?"

The response he got was more than enough. Lizzie and Derek screamed upon hearing that they were getting something other than a home-cooked meal for dinner. Calleigh and Eric knew that their jobs had indeed called for some fast food meals and frozen dinners, but after having the twins they knew that such a lifestyle needed to change.

Thus, every morning, Eric would prepare a healthy and nutritious breakfast, and every evening, Calleigh would prepare a home cooked meal for dinner. They would occasionally indulge in a little fast food when they were too exhausted to cook, but that was rarely.

After telling their abuelo what they wanted on the pizza, they pulled into a small pizza place and ordered. Deciding that they were going to eat at home, they placed the pizza in a box and quickly drove home.

Somehow, the twins had convinced Pavel and Clorinda to allow them to eat and watch a movie in the TV room. Now, they were all seated on the floor, watching Shark Tale, the twins' second favourite movie. Eric had joked, saying that his children belonged in the water, which only made everyone laugh as the twins started to protest.

The movie had just finished and the twins were starting to fall asleep there on the floor. Clorinda led them upstairs, "Go brush your teeth and meet me in the bedroom, okay?" She received two tired nods in response. She chuckled as she entered the spare bedroom and pulled out their pyjamas. As she placed them on the bed, they came in the room, half asleep on their feet.

After getting them dressed, she tucked them in. "Where's mamí?"

"She's out with daddy," Clorinda replied, trying to keep their whereabouts covert. She did not want to be the one to tell the twins about where they were or what they were probably doing.

Much to her dismay, Lizzie just probed even further, "Out where?" Clorinda sighed, "They are out having dinner, they will pick you up tomorrow morning."

"But dinner doesn't take all night," Lizzie said, stretching out 'all' to emphasize her point.

"For them it does," Clorinda replied under her breath. She then spoke up, "Go to sleep, cariña. The faster you go to sleep, the faster morning will come."

Lizzie pulled the covers up to her chin and closed her eyes, "Kay, night abuela."

"Goodnight, my darling," Clorinda said as she flipped the switch and exited the room.
