"Go back to sleep sweetheart, I've got them."
"Sam, you don't have boobs." Penny sighed, rolling over and climbing out of bed, hair a mess and dressed in loose pajama bottoms and one of Sam's old shirts. "I forgot to express earlier, I have nothing for you to use."
Penny padded across the room to the twins who were both awake and hungry. She lifted Avery, who was being the most fussy and took him over to the bed, settling herself down to feed. As she did Sam cradled Bonnie to his chest, taking a seat beside his wife. Bonnie seemed content with chomping her gums on Sam's fingers for the meantime as her brother was quite content to feed.
"Y'know I thought this would be more gross." Sam chuckled. "Breastfeeding I mean."
"You can only think that when you have a child clamped to your nipple." Penny grumbled, lack of sleep finally catching up to her. "I'm so tired."
"I know sweetheart." Sam sighed, leaning to press a kiss to her forehead. He knew that once Penny was up for the night feed she found it so difficult to fall back to sleep.
Once the twins had both been fed, they were back in their Moses basket, still staring up at their mother who was willing for them to just sleep. Sam found Penny's iPod, turning on to a low volume. He had discovered fairly quickly in the past six weeks that a low toned slow song sent the twins straight off.
"Hey, c'mere." He whispered, pulling Penny into his chest. He let his hands hold onto her waist as she leant against him, whispering how much he loved her into her ear. "Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby? Said you'll be coming back again this way, oh baby." He sang along to the song, 'Superstar' by Sonic Youth, earning a small smile from Penny.
When they finally got back into bed, Penny lay nose to nose with her husband, fingers idly running through his chest hair.
"I've been thinking," She began, fighting off a yawn. "I'm going to study."
"Study?" Sam frowned. "You know you're an English Major right?"
"Yeah but I'm gonna study so that when the kids are old enough I can teach them from home... I was thinking about how we were going to send them to school when we travel so much but if I get whatever qualification I might need, if any, then I can teach them from home and we still get to travel and work at the same time." She rested her palm against his cheek. "Sammy, I'm not ready to give this up and besides, I think the kids will love it. Can you imagine them coming with us when they're older? Obviously not on dangerous jobs, I'm not stupid but just letting them see what we get to see, y'know?"
"I think you have a beautiful mind. We'll both do it." He smiled. "Well both do it and split the work. Remember, we promised that parenting would be fifty fifty."
"Yeah... If I'm teaching the kids you can be out working with Sully."
"And vice versa." Sam kissed his wife's smiling lips. "But I'm not teaching them the history they get at school. Hardly any of it's right anyway."
"Of course not, Professor Drake."
"Professor Drake, huh?" Sam smirked. "I like the sound of that one already."
Becoming parents was one of the best and hardest things Sam and Penny Drake had ever done. Seeing their children grow up happy and healthy and seeing each other embrace their new roles was so rewarding but of course, there were the hard things. Currently, the twins were teething.
"Oh, come on, baby." Penny soothed, bouncing Bonnie on her lap, the tiny girl wailing in front of her. "Sam, do we have any of the gel left?"
"I used the last of it on Ave this morning."
"Can you go and pick up some more?"
"I'm changing his diaper right now, I'll go when I'm finished."
And so it continued for months until the first signs of actual teeth appeared.
"Ow, Jesus!" Sam gasped one evening as Bonnie was chewing on his finger, as she had become accustomed to. "Penny, honey! Bonnie's got a tooth!" Penny scrambled over the sofa, peering into her child's mouth with wide eyes. "She bit me."
"Clever girl." Penny grinned, kissing Bonnie's head before checking Avery's still toothless gums.
Avery's first tooth came in a week or so later than his sister which Penny found when she was breastfeeding him.
"He's just getting revenge on his daddy's behalf." Sam winked when he found out.
Once the couple had got into the swing of things, combining parenthood with work life became fairly easy. They took it in turns, one of them taking care of the twins whilst the other went off to research, negotiate, explore, etc. Sully would also lend a hand on both parts of the work, depending on where he was needed the most.
The first time Sam took care of the children alone for the entire day and evening whilst Penny was researching and negotiating securing a map from some rich family in France, he had been a little bit worried he might be out of his depth. But to his surprise, he kept them entertained, their laughs were in his top three noises along with Penny's voice, he changed them, he fed them and as the evening wore on he had them settled in no time. He placed them on the floor on the cushioned play mat that they had bought, nestled cushions around them so that wouldn't go far and lay on the sofa looking down at them. He let his arm hang off the sofa, resting in between them as he lay admiring his children until he drifted off into sleep himself.
When Penny came in that evening and found her husband, fast asleep along with the twins by the sofa next to him, she took off her shoes and tiptoed into their room to pick up her camera. She took a quick picture before she lifted up Bonnie as gently as she could and placed her into her crib before returning for her brother. Avery stirred a little but soon settled again.
She knelt down on the floor beside Sam, running her fingers through his hair giggling when he tried to swat her hand away in his sleep. She pressed kisses over his forehead and across his cheek until finally his eyes fluttered open and met hers.
"How about we go to bed, handsome?" She smiled, thumb running over his stubble. "I put the twins in their crib."
"Thanks, sweetheart."
Sam yawned as he stood up, letting Penny lead him into their bedroom by his hand. They both stripped down to their underwear, Penny taking Sam's shirt and slipping it over her panties before climbing into bed.
"How did it go?" She asked as Sam tucked his arms behind his head.
"I'm Samuel Drake. It went perfectly."
"You cocky bastard." Penny laughed, kissing his jaw and then his lips. Before she could pull away he had his arm wrapped around her waist, holding her close and deepening the kiss.
"How'd your day go, doll face?"
"I'm Penny Drake." She smirked. "It went perfectly."
"Are you sure you can handle them?"
"You know we have a five year old?"
"Yeah, one! We have two, one year olds which means tonight you have three kids."
"Nice math, Sammy." Nate rolled his eyes at his older brother as he let Avery hold onto his nose. "Now go take your wife out for the night, have fun and we will see you in the morning."
Sam was taking Penny out for the evening, smart shirt and slacks, Penny in a nice dress and a reservation at a fancy restaurant. It wasn't the first time that they'd left the twins with Nate and Elena but it still never made them worry less.
They were sat in the restaurant for approximately seventeen minutes before they decided to ditch the swanky place for something more their style. They found a nearby diner, ate pizza and had a few beers before the wondered along back to the houseboat, hand in hand and slightly tipsy.
"If you knew Penny Sue, then you'd know why I feel blue. Without Penny, my Penny Sue. Oh well, I love you, gal. Yes, I love you Penny Sue." Sam sang, spinning Penny around in circles as she giggled at his loud voice.
"It's Peggy Sue, babe."
"Yeah, but Peggy Sue's got nothin' on you."
Sam spun her into his chest, hand resting on the base of her back as he captured her lips in a heated kiss, both of them giggling against each others mouths. Penny smiled, eyes hazy.
"Take me home, Mr Drake." She said in a breathy voice. "Take me home and have your wicked way with me."
"Yes ma'am."
They fell onto their bed, still giggling as Sam's hands roamed Penny's body. She had felt extremely self conscious for a while after the twins were born but Sam soon reassured her that he loved every inch of her, no matter what she looked like. Every curve, every stretch mark, every single bit of cellulite. He thought she was the most beautiful thing to walk the earth and he always took every opportunity to prove it to her.
She pulled open his shirt, careless to the few buttons that popped off in different directions. She pushed him over onto his back, straddling his waist and leaning down to trail her lips and tongue down his chest. Sam was still grinning, struggling to get the shirt off of his arms. When she reached his belt, his grin slipped, turning into that opened mouthed gasp for breath as her fingers dipping inside his waistband.
Soon enough his trousers were on the other side of the room along with his underwear and she had her lips wrapped around his cock, head bobbing up and down as Sam groaned above her. He glanced down, noticing that as she was leaning forward her breasts were beginning to spill from her dress. He couldn't wait any longer.
He gently pried Penny from him, rolling them over and lifting the dress over her head, thankful she was wearing no bra. His mouth kissed over her chest, her stomach and her hips before tearing off her panties. He threw her legs over his shoulders, pulling her hips closer to him as he dipped his tongue between her folds.
He worked his fingers in and out of her, tongue dancing over her clit until she bucked her hips up against him, struggling to keep from closing her thighs around his head and screaming his name. He lapped up her juices, pulling pack and licking his fingers clean as he climbed over her. He wasn't expecting her to push him back over onto his back but he happily accepted it when she did.
She straddled his hips, grabbing hold of his cock and lowering herself down onto him, eyes closed in bliss as she felt him fill her up. She paused only briefly before she started bouncing up and down, rocking her hips as she went. Sam groaned, lifting himself to sit up and wrapping his arms around her waist as she worked him up.
His mouth was open against her skin, too distracted in pleasure to bite or lick anything. She ran her fingers through his hair as she threw her head back, her second orgasm over taking her. Seeing her so completely undone sent Sam over the edge as he bucked up into her, emptying himself inside with a loud moan of her name.
She collapsed against his chest and he slowly moved back to lie down, keeping her against him, his arms wrapped around her in a tight embrace. He pressed idle kissed to her hairline as they came down from their highs.
"We need to have more date nights." She whispered, looking up at him with a giddy smile, cheeks still flushed.
"Amen to that." Sam chuckled, fingertips running down her spine. "But y'know we've got until tomorrow. Plenty of time for round two." He let his lips trace down her neck, kissing along her shoulders as she giggled into his chest.
"And three and four I hope."
As Bonnie grew up, Sam was happy to see she looked more and more like her mother everyday. She had the same chocolate eyes, fair skin, same smile. But she had elements of him too. Dark hair that always seemed to end up in a mess no matter what Penny did to it, she seemed to be taking her fathers height too as did Avery, both growing like weeds. Penny knew that once they hit their teens she'd be looking up at everyone in her family. Avery had his mothers Irish red hair that also ended up sticking up in every direction. He also inherited her freckles, scattered across his nose and shoulders. But he had his fathers eyes and his fathers crooked smile that Penny loved so much.
As they grew, both of the twins adored their life. They loved having the best of both worlds. They were home schooled by their parents, got to travel all over the world and see things that kids their age wouldn't get to see until they were much, much older. But they also got to stay with the Aunt Elena and Uncle Nate, play with their cousin Cassie, who adored them, and have the stability of a regular childhood.
Sam was a very protective and very proud father. When Avery had seemed to be on the verge of his first word, Sam had bombarded him with all the pirate toys he could get his hands on only for his first word to be 'mama'. Penny had cried. Bonnie's first word however was 'pirate'. Sam had cried.
Sam and Penny did their very best to ensure that the twins were happy, knew they were loved and had everything they could need without becoming spoiled brats. They taught them the values they held most dear, taught them to have morals and to be kind to others but also, not to take any crap.
As they got older they started to develop their own interests and personalities, too.
Avery liked to mimic Sullivan in his every action to the point where Penny had to ban the word 'goddamn' from their house. But it seemed that Avery just loved his Grandpa Sully and was set of following in his footsteps. Sam didn't mind too much, since Avery wanted his own plane and wanted to find treasure like they all did.
He was a little joker, like his daddy. When they got pocket money he insisted on going to the joke shop and buying fake spiders to scare his sister and his mother, giving his father and Sully chili flavored sweets or jumping out from any corner to make them jump. He lived for making people laugh, doing silly dances, pulling stupid faces and putting on funny voices. Especially if he thought someone looked sad.
But the thing that Penny loved the most about him was how caring he was. If he scared his sister too much he'd stop whatever it was he'd done and rush over to her, wrapping his small arms around her and promising he was sorry and she could have his ice cream too. If he saw a snail on the ground he insisted on stopping to pick it up and place it in the nearest spot of greenery.
Bonnie was the quiet one. It had taken so much longer for her first word than it did Avery but when it came out, it sounded perfect. She didn't worry about anything, it seemed, only voicing things when she thought it necessary. Sam was amazed at how beyond her years she was and loved listening to his little girl talk about the things she loved, just as he did his wife.
Bonnie liked to draw, always handing out crayon pictures of her family so that the pictures on their fridge had to be rotated out every week or so. She loved being read to and she loved visiting historical sites too. Penny had thought they were too young when they first took the twins but Bonnie walked hand in hand with their tour guide, listening avidly to every word and repeating as many facts as she could in the car back home. Penny thought she'd be a fine historian when she grew up.
Sam loved his little girl's imagination. There was an evening when her brother was sick, coming down with a fever and feeling very sorry for himself stuck in his bed. When Penny had gone to give him his medicine she'd ran back and grabbed Sam to witness what she saw. Bonnie was sat beside him on his bed, words of adventure and dragons and knights falling from her lips. It wasn't from a story she'd been told by her parents, wasn't from a book they'd read together, but purely from her own wonderful mind.
The twins were inseparable, even when they didn't need to be. Penny had ensured they knew how important it was to look out for each other as they grew up and they followed that to the very letter. But even when they were in a group of other children that they knew, they'd always be together. They didn't separate themselves but added others to their duo. Of course, their favorite friend was their very own cousin, Cassie.
Cassie loved having the twins over to stay, always getting sad when they had to go home only being satiated by promises of their return or her being allowed to stay on the boat.
Penny and Sam had done alot of incredible things in their life, especially after they met but their favorite thing they'd ever done, was bringing those two little bits of perfection into the world.
