I'm back~! *Dodges a can thrown* Anyway, I came back with a another chapter! I know, I know your welcome. And I hope YOU ENJOY IT! *Says that last part, before being carried off by an angry mob*
It had been two months since the baby shower, and Alexis has given birth to the two most adorable twins ever. They both had ravenous dark hair, with the exception, that the boy's was lighter. They had emerald green eyes :( Did Alexis have green eyes? That's how I remember it and they had the same golden lion bodies of their parents. Even their serpent tail was cute. They're eagle wings were large for their size and they seemed to be dragging them around. Emily thought it would take them time to learn how to use their wings, considering the size of it.
"What are you going to name them?" Emily asked.
"What do you think Tom? I think I'll name the girl Amira."
"Then the boy's name will be Connor."
"I think Joel, would want to see them. They're just so cute." Emily said.
"Yes, but only for a moment. The twins seem to be tired right now. And so is Alexis." Tom said.
"It's alright Tom. I can handle a few more minutes of attention." Alexis reassured.
"I'll be back in a second." Emily said. She walked out of their room and quickly went over to Vulcan's forge and asked to see if Joel was there.
"Hey Em. So what did you need me for?"
"Alexis gave birth to the twins. Their names are Amira and Connor. You have to see them."
"I would like to see them too." Paelen said with Lorin at his side. Emily was still getting used to seeing Lorin as a transparent person. But she was glad Lorin was back.
"C'mon. I'll take you to them."
Emily lead them to where Tom and Alexis were and when they had arrived, Lorin cooed over them. "Their sooo cute! They have got to be the most adorable sphinx on Olympus."
Connor wobbled forward and swatted at Emily's feet as if it were playing with a cat toy. Emily bent over and picked him out. He cocked his head staring intently at Emily.
"Emily, would you mind if you watched over them with Tom? I just need to rest for a bit." Alexis said.
"Sure."
"We want to help too." Joel said.
"Thank you."
They took the babies out of the room and when they had closed the door, Amira yowled. "Uh, Em, would should we do?" Joel asked.
"I don't know." Emily admitted. "I never babysitted before."
Soon enough Connor joined in, and in their arms were full of babies crying. "Let me try to handle it." Tom said.
He walked over to them and nudged Emily to place them on his back. Connor seemed to have calmed down by a bit, but Amira still cried. "Do you think they're hungry or something?" Joel asked.
"I'm not sure. Maybe." Emily said.
"Then feed them." Lorin said.
"Uh. . . . Tom? Do you know what to do. . . ?"
"I'm afraid not. I just realized how little on how to babysit."
"Me too." Emily agreed. "Should we just feed them average milk?"
"Yeah."
Immediately a bottle appeared in her hand and she fed it to Amira who was still crying. After a few quiet minutes, Amira seemed to fast asleep. She then did the same to Connor who fell asleep like Amira.
"Well that just solved it." Joel said.
"Hey, Tom, why don't you help Alexis while she rests?" Emily asked. "She probably is worn out and you can help her deal with the pain. We'll take it from here."
Tom nodded and went inside the room. "Let's take them to our apartment." As they carried them, Emily felt something brush against her hair and Lorin immediately yelled. "Oh no! Connor! Come back!"
Emily turned to see Connor bouncing happily away from Lorin and seemed to think this as a game. Just when things were about to get better, Connor had to jump out and cause trouble. Amira squirmed out and joined Connor in the game of chase.
"Oh no." Emily ran after them. They were running all over the place. Soon enough they lost sight of them.
"How can they run like that, when their only a few hours old?" Joel asked scratching his head.
"They mature faster than humans do." Emily replied. Having Yird's memories allowed her to know literally almost anything. "Split up. Paelen, you go with Lorin and I'll go with Joel. They might be hiding somewhere."
Paelen nodded.
When they went their separate ways, there was awkward silence. Just when the mood got even more awkward, a tiny giggle came from Emily's room.
She put her finger over her mouth to Joel. He nodded.
They quietly opened the door. A tail was sticking out from under the bed. Just when they were about to get near it, Amira giggled and ran out the door.
Emily groaned.
"C'mon Emily." Joel said. "We've got to catch her."
"Right."
As they were searching for the two Sphinx, Joel chose that time to whisper, "Uh oh. Emily, they're coming!"
She turned around to see Alexis and Tom coming their way.
I know it's too short. I'm terribly sorry. But I don't know when I'll update, but no matter what happens, just know that I'll try to update as soon as possible, but my writer's block was getting worse. I'll try to make the next chapter longer. I AM SO SORRY FOR THE TERRIBLY SHORT CHAPTER! BAI! DON'T KILL ME! *Runs away and jumps off a cliff*
