The morning routine had begun; Ayoko was placed in her booster chair with her two slices of toast, which was smothered in chocolate. Kiyoshi was sat in his high chair with a small bowl of rice crispies, he giggled as each crisp popped from the milk that socked into their tiny pockets.
"How many eggs would you like?" Erza asked Jellal who was searching for his boots.
"Two please" he replied, scratching his head, he began to crawl around the front room.
Kiyoshi watched his father as he searched for his footwear.
"What are you looking for?" Erza asked as she dished hers and Jellal's breakfast on to a plate.
"My boots….I can't. Oh here they are" he pulled them out from behind the couch.
"There's a rack for all the shoes, why are they there?"
"I don't know, I thought I left them near the door"
Jellal pulled up a chair, joining his family round the table, Erza slowly sipped her tea.
"When you got to the store today could you pick up some carrots, I'll try and make mini carrot cakes for dessert later"
Jellal nodded his head as he finished his egg sandwich before wiping his mouth and leaving the table.
"Be careful the roads to town are icy and don't pull up to any strangers who want to hitch a ride and…"
Jellal paused, her voice as he pushed his lips onto her.
"I'll be alright, I won't be long" he smiled before kissing his children goodbye.
Kiyoshi eyes rushed with tears as Jellal left.
"Hey it's alright, his coming back" Erza rushed to her son's side, wrapping him in his arms to calm him.
"Kiyoshi not want daddy go mummy, boots no boots" Ayoko sat looking up at her mother, chocolate smothered around her face.
"He hid his boots?" Erza questioned
Ayoko nodded before attempting to let herself out of her chair.
"No Ayoko, I will get you out in a minute" Erza warned as she wiped her son's tears.
She rushed around to the fridge, getting out some milk.
"Shhhh" she soothed.
"Duucccccck!" Kiyoshi screamed, as he tried pulling away from his mother's arms.
"His coming back soon sweetheart, Shhhh" Erza bounced her boy in her arms, while the bottled milk warmed in the jug of hot water.
Ayoko clicked her belt open; she wriggled down, before running from the kitchen and into the front room.
Erza lay her boy in her arms, feeding him the warm milk.
"Shhhh"
Kiyoshi placed one of his hands onto his bottle, his breathing rested as his cry's stopped, his mum slowly rocked him.
Erza turned to let her daughter out of her chair, but found she had already escaped.
"Ayoko?" she called out, before rushing off into the front room.
Erza found the sofa cushions scattered on the floor while all the Disney films had been taken out of their cases and thrown across the room.
"Ayoko" her mother called again.
She slowly walked round to find half the books from the bookshelf had been scribbled in, Erza placed Kiyoshi onto the floor with his bottle.
Ayoko sat laughing as she pushed a piece of her toast in to the computer tower.
"No, we don't feed the computer food, it eats electricity"" Erza explained as she knelt down, trying to get the crushed bread out of the system.
Ayoko stood up, clapping her hands, Erza couldn't help but laugh.
Kiyoshi pulled himself up with the help of the corner of the couch, before racing off back into the kitchen.
Erza managed to get most of the food out of the computer; she picked her daughter back up before placing her in the centre of the room with a huge pile of toys.
"Where's your brother?" She questioned.
Ayoko ignored her mother and began to play with the colourful bricks, pretending to hammer them together like a builder.
Erza searched behind the couch, in the cupboards, behind the curtains.
"Kiyoshi?" she called out, before racing off into the kitchen.
"My washing!" Erza screamed.
Kiyoshi had emptied the washer full of clean clothes and was placing them into the waste bin.
"That's not where we put them, they go in the dryer" Erza tried to explain.
She took the clothes out of the bin and placed them back into the washer, for another clean.
Kiyoshi raced off into the front room as Erza finished tidied the mess he had created.
Ayoko sat with a tower of bricks around her, babbling to herself, while Kiyoshi had taken of his socks and was now running along the couch.
"Have you made a castle for yourself?" Erza sat down with her daughter.
Ayoko nodded with a smile.
"Hewa….for Hewa" Ayoko pointed to her side.
"Who? Hera? Is that you're friend?" Erza questioned.
Ayoko nodded to the question.
"Is she a princess like you?
"No!" Ayoko shook her head.
"Duck, duck, duck"
Kiyoshi jumped up and down as the front door opened.
"Daddy's home!" Erza clapped.
Kiyoshi wobbled to the end of the couch, he leaned over the arm to get down.
"Careful!" Erza jumped up to catch the falling child, her heart raced as he landed in her arms.
"Ha-ha duck duck" Kiyoshi wriggled from his mother and wobbled over to his father.
"Hey little man!"
Jellal picked up his boy, throwing him in the air then leaning him on his side.
"You alright?"
"Yeah, it's so much harder now they can walk" Erza breathed out before pulling herself up.
"Did you get the carrots?"
"Carrots, I thought it was bananas you said you wanted?"
Erza shook her head with a smile on her face.
"Never mind, we'll just have banana cupcakes instead" she took the bags from his arms and vanished into the kitchen.
Jellal rested himself on the couch, allowing his son to race along its soft cushions once more.
"Jellal can you come and get me the sugar please" Erza called from the kitchen.
Jellal placed Kiyoshi back on the floor before answering her call.
As he walked into the kitchen Erza smacked a bag of flour over his head, covering his hair, face and clothes. She laughed as he stood in shock; he smiled as he reached for the eggs.
"No, I've just washed my hair!" Ezra pleaded as she ran around the kitchen table.
Jellal wrapped his arms around her body, but she restrained his arm that had the egg in, she slowly pushed his hand over his own head before squeezing it causing the egg to crack over him.
"Ha-ha" Erza side pounded with pain as Jellal stood with yolk sliding down his face.
"Mummy" Ayoko called.
Erza turned to her daughters call; the little girl threw the rest of the flour at her mother, covering her slippers and bare legs in white powder.
"You should be on mummy's side, ha-ha!" she chased her baby into the front room, tickling her tiny body once she caught her.
The house was filled with laughter and joy, Erza and Jellal treasured each day, their babies filled their hearts with happiness and gave them nothing but ever lasting memories…
The day was nearing its end, stars began to wake in the beautiful sapphire blue sky; the twins began to rub their little eyes as their parents tucked them into their cribs.
Jellal opened one of the curtains again; Kiyoshi watched the glowing lights in the sky as his dreams called to him. Ayoko snuggled herself against the bars of the crib, she let out a little yawn before slowly allowing her eyes to close.
"Goodnight" their parents called as they left the room.
Jellal and Erza snuggled up against each other, Erza rested her head on his chest, she listened to the rhythm of his heart, the gentle beat made her eyes fall. Jellal softly brushed his hands threw her hair as she drifted away.
"I love you" he whispered to her, before his dreams called out to him, taking him into deep thoughts.
Both parents lay sleeping as the baby monitor crackled, Ayoko moved around in her cot, as once again the soothing whispers of a woman called to her.
"Shhhh"
Ayoko looked up to the beautiful fair skinned woman, her smile was warm and kind, her dark brown eyes glowed as she smiled down , her light chestnut coloured hair rested down on her right shoulder, Ayoko smiled at the sight of the knowing stranger.
"Sleep now, sleep baby" she whispered softly.
The child's eyes gradually closed, the vision of the woman disappeared as colourful images danced in her mind, her dreams had caught her but she knew she was still there, watching over her….
A/N: Omg aren't they mischievous? I do hope everyone enjoyed this chapter; I wanted to show you more of the twin's personalities :) Some parts of the children's characters are based on those of my friends babies, just wanted to thank them for allowing me to sit around and play with their adorable children :) lol
So have you figured out what Ayoko's power could be? I'll give you a little hint, but it's a secret so shhhhh ;) It's something to do with history…..that will probably make you think even more and get you even more confused! Lol
