It had been a week since Finn and Rachel brought the twins home from the hospital, and everything was perfect… well apart from the sleepless nights. Seriously, all those babies did was cry. They cried because they needed fed, cried because they needed their diapers changed, and cried just to cry.
At about two o'clock in the morning the baby monitor went off again.
"I'll go check on them." Finn says getting up.
"Are you sure?" Rachel asks yawning.
"Rachel, it's my turn anyway, so I'll do it. You just go back to sleep."
When he gets to the nursery, Finn notices that both babies are crying. He takes care of Christopher first because he is the least patient of the two. "Hey little man, what's wrong? " He asks, then he notices that Christopher's diaper is wet, so he changes it. "There, all done Buddy." Finn says kissing Christopher's forehead, and then placing him back in his crib. Alexis is a lot easier to change, she doesn't fuss that much and is a lot less squirmy.
"They asleep again?" Rachel asks when Finn gets back to the bedroom.
"Out like lights… for now."
"No kidding."
They're up twice again with the crying babies before they get up for good that morning.
When Rachel gets the babies ready she smiles. They're such cute little things. Perfect cute little things. While she's dressing Christopher in one of his dinosaur onesies, he does nothing but fuss.
"Shhh, Honey it's okay, I'm done changing you, this is nothing compared to if your Uncle Kurt tries to dress you, let's hope that never happens, alright Sweetheart?" She says laughing quietly , and rubbing her son's tiny head softly. Changing Alexis goes much smoother. She's quiet and only squirms a little. Her pink onesie with a monkey on it looks absolutely adorable on her.
"Oh, darling you are such a cutie pie." Rachel says staring at her daughter smiling.
When she's rocking the babies, Finn comes and sits down next to her and the babies.
"They look so adorable, how long did it take you?" Finn asks
"About 30 minutes because our son is a fussy little thing." Rachel replies.
"Yeah he is, I have to go to work. I promise I'll be home by six. Bye little angels, bye honey."
"Oh you guys you have no idea how much this family loves you." Rachel tells the babies smiling.
Feeding the babies is actually kind of easy because they're really good eaters. Even Christopher doesn't fuss while getting fed, probably because he is always hungry, just like his father.
When Stella is up everything gets extremely busy.
"Morning Mommy." Stella says smiling
"Morning Honey." Rachel replies yawning
"Can you color with me?"
"Sweetie, I'm busy ok? I will later though when you're brother and sister are asleep"
"Mommy, I miss just me and you time."
"Oh Honey, I know you, so do I but I have to take care of your brother and sister they need me all the time."
"I need you too though, Mommy."
" I know but you're a big girl you can do things by yourself, they cant."
"I know, but I miss you."
"Sweetheart, don't be sad I know we don't really have that much time together but it won't always be like this, I promise."
" Yay, is Uncle Kurt taking me to preschool?"
"Yes he is darling."
When Stella finally leaves for preschool, Rachel is kind of relieved. She loved Stella but the twins kept her busy and it was very hard to balance the other kids along with the two of them.
She's just getting done changing Christopher's diaper when her phone rings. Rachel smiles when she sees it's Finn calling.
"Hi Honey." She answers
"How are you? Finn asks
"Good, just busy with the twins, they're quite the handfuls."
Handfuls at about only two weeks old, yeah I would say they're definitely our kids."
"They're pretty good babies, they just cry a lot, a whole lot."
"They meaning mostly Christopher, right?"
"Right, he's an extremely little boy, adorable as I'll get out, but fussy."
"He's just a little too high maintenance, but adorable."
"Do you think he loves me?"
I know he does."
"Goodness it's so hard to balance taking care of all of kids!"
"I know but you do a really good job! You're like super mom!"
"Thanks… oh goodness they're crying again. I have to go. Love you bye.
"I love you too. Tell the twins I say hi and love them."
"I will. Goodbye Honey."
As soon as Rachel hangs up the phone it's back to the twins.
"What's the matter sweet little ones?" she asks, her motherly instincts extremely present. The twins were just fed and changed, so it becomes clear to her that all they want is to be held. She picks up Christopher and rocks him gently because that's what seems to calm him down the most. His eyelids flutter but his amber eyes still twinkle just a little like his father's always do.
"You really do look just like your daddy, and I know you're going to grow up to be a gentleman just like him one day."
Rachel then picks up Alexis and rocks her the same way she did with Christopher.
"And you missy, you are a beautiful little girl, and I don't want you to ever let anyone tell you any different."
She smiles at her daughter, and then turns so she can see both of her beautiful babies.
"Daddy and I we love you, we love you both very much. So do your brother and sister and we'd all do anything for you."
When Stella gets home from preschool, she immediately goes to see her baby brother and sister. It makes Rachel smile to see how much Stella loves them.
"Mommy, you know I love them, right?" Stella asks sweetly.
"Yes, of course I do, Honey"
An hour later, Fyero gets home from school.
Hey Mom, can I show you my number for Glee club?" he asks.
"Later Fyero, I have to feed the twins , but I'm sure you will sound wonderful. You always do." Rachel replies with a smile
"Thanks Mom, and I can feed one of them if you would like me to."
"Oh Honey, you really don't have to that."
"I know, I want to." Fyero says picking up his little brother and starting to feed him.
"Well isn't this just the cutest thing." Rachel says smiling at her two precious sons.
Finn gets home at a quarter till six, and Rachel is very happy to see him because balancing all four kids is exhausting.
"Hey little ones, I've missed you bunches!" Finn says kissing the twins' foreheads . One at a time he picks them up ready to start balancing. God he loves being a father. He loves it so much.
