Chapter 8 asleep on the couch

AN so hey guys I know it's been a while since I updated this story and there's A lot of reasons for that mainly I'm lazy, lifes been busy and I don't actually have a lot of ideas for this Story and I don't want to be one of those authors who just post an author's note to say that. This being said and if anyone actually reads these I'm opening up the chance for you guys to give me some prompts if you want. I have some other story ideas so I might explore those until I come up with more stuff for this.

Marceline was at home with 2 out of 3 of her favourite girls. Bonnibel had gone back to work after a few weeks of maternity leave and rest ordered by her doctor to recover from the pregnancy. As Marceline wasn't busy on tour or currently recording that many songs she agreed to watch the girls while Bonnie went to work.

The girls were a few weeks old by now and were already a handful in different ways. Ivy (the pink haired one who looks like Marceline) had Marceline's tendency to get into trouble even though she wasn't even mobile yet, she tended to be the louder baby compared to her sister and woke up both her parents in the middle of the night often setting off her sibling too .she also had Marceline's temper. Grace (the black haired one who looks like Bonnie) seemed to have her mother's scientific curiosity for things, she often tried grabbing things while her parents held her or were walking with her causing some small problems when those items got damaged or fell (they had to watch her carefully when they went shopping after an incident involving a large amount of apples in a grocery store). With both of the twins life for the two women was certainly interesting and they dreaded the day both girls could walk on their own.

Marceline was in the kitchen making a cup of coffee to try and stay awake after weeks of not sleeping completely through the night, due to the babies crying. Yawning she poured the hot water into the cup letting the steam rise before she added sugar and milk just the way she liked it. She could hear the babies gurgling in the next room chatting to each other in their little baby babble only they could understand.

Taking the mug of coffee with her she moved into the living room and sat down on the couch smiling when she saw her babies looking at her with their bright eyes and curious expressions. She finished her coffee and yawned again before picking up both of her small girls and sat back on the couch with them cradled close to her. It had taken a while but eventually Marceline had gotten used to handling both babies without fear of dropping them, she could also hold both of them at the same time comfortably.

Leaning back so her head was on the arm rest of the couch and her legs were near the other end she tucked the babies to her chest positioning them so they were resting where she could watch them carefully. After a while both babies drifted off to sleep listening to the sound of their mother's heart beat and the gentle tune she was humming to them. Marceline had written the girls their own lullaby and frequently sung to them when they couldn't sleep or were too fussy. Often times when the babies cried at night Marceline would sing gently and Bonnibel would get out of bed to watch as Marceline would sing to their children, leaning on the doorway and smiling contently.

Marceline could feel the gentle rise and fall of her children's' chests and she let herself relax feeling her eyes droop shut. She tried fighting the tiredness but she was quickly losing the battle against sleep. Her eyes closed and she drifted off into a peaceful slumber with her girls tucked comfortably on her chest sleeping. Hours later and the three females were still asleep on the couch when Bonnie got home.

Walking in the doorway Bonnie took off her shoes and coat before she looked around her house. She walked into the living room and paused while staring at the couch before smiling happily. For there on the couch were her 3 favourite girls sleeping. Her tall gangly wife was stretched out as far as she could go with their two tiny babies tucked securely to her chest snoring lightly clearly exhausted. The smile widened before she quietly left the room. She came back with a camera and took a quick photo before placing the camera on the coffee table and knelt down next to Marceline's face.

Gently she ran her hands over the girl's hair smoothing down the pink and black strands before she moved her hand to her wife's cheek. Gently stroking Marceline's cheek she leaned in and kissed her on the lips until she felt the black haired woman stir. Opening her eyes Marceline saw her pink haired wife kneeling next to the couch with a gentle smile on her face.

"Hi" Marceline croaked quietly to Bonnie voice thick from sleep.

"Hey" Bonnie responded quietly before smiling again content.

The two women sat there in their living room just enjoying the quiet time with each other and their sleeping daughters.
