Okay, I trust you. Let me take a shower and then run to the store real quick.

[thestjamesdeandaydream]

Take your time. You need to relax, anyway. You deserve it.

[iriskwestx-blog]

Think you can handle them while I go to the store?

[thestjamesdeandaydream]

I know you birthed them, but I can handle it.

[iriskwestx-blog]

I know. You sure you can handle them by yourself? 

[thestjamesdeandaydream]

I’ve got it under control.

[iriskwestx-blog]

I know they are adorable. I feel like I haven’t washed in days and I’m pretty sure I have spit up on ever piece of clothing I own. They owe me when they are 18. 

[thestjamesdeandaydream]

You know I can watch them while you go take a shower. I’ve got it under control.

We aren’t going to fight. They are all smiles today. Which is a great thing because that means they aren’t crying. 

[thestjamesdeandaydream]

I am not going to question a blessing like this. Just look at them.

[iriskwestx-blog]

No I don’t. I see a lot of you in them. We’re going to be fighting about this a lot. 

[thestjamesdeandaydream]

I’d rather not fight about anything. We’ve got these two babies here who are all smiles.

[iriskwestx-blog]

You think so?

[thestjamesdeandaydream]

Don’t you see it?

[iriskwestx-blog]

Lies.

[thestjamesdeandaydream]

They’ve got your smile.

[thestjamesdeandaydream]

I swear to god, each and every day these little ones look more and more like their mother.

DEAR THEODOSIA - St. Berry

[tonywinnerrachel]

Rachel smiled when he ran his hand through her hair. “It’s sort of a mess right now,” she said looking at herself and making a face. “I know, I’m sorry,” she giggled kissing him. “All four of us can cuddle together,” she giggled before yawning. “You want to sleep before these two wake up?” 

[thestjamesdeandaydream]

Jesse shook his head, dropping a kiss on her shoulder. “Still beautiful,” he whispered softly. “Don’t apologize. I love you.” And he truly meant it. At her question, he smiled and nodded. “We probably should because they’ll be up again in no time...”

DEAR THEODOSIA - St. Berry

[tonywinnerrachel]

Rachel looked up at him and gave him a look. “After what I went through I would love to wait a year, but that’s not going to happen,” she laughed before shaking her head a little. “Patience is fun, babe,” she said giving him another kiss. “We’ll get to cuddle. Don’t you worry.” 

[thestjamesdeandaydream]

Jesse ran his hand over her hair, smoothing it out a little. “I’m still loving your body regardless. Though, I know you’ll need time,” he said gently. “Patience is not fun,” he said in between kisses. “We better get to cuddle. I can’t have the babies getting all of your time.”

DEAR THEODOSIA - St. Berry

[tonywinnerrachel]

Rachel snuggled into him and smiled a little before glancing back at him. “I know. I miss really cuddling with you. Ha, those other things have to wait another 3 months after I heal, babe,” she said as she turned around and kissed him. 

[thestjamesdeandaydream]

Jesse crinkled his nose a little at the thought of waiting three months. “By then the babies will be even more energetic and we’ll be lucky to get a moment to cuddle,” he said as his hand ran up her arm a little.

[tonywinnerrachel]

DEAR THEODOSIA - St. Berry

[tonywinnerrachel]

Rachel smiled as she looked back at Jesse. “You love me that much. I promise when I’m al healed I’ll be the big spoon,” she laughed as she nuzzled his neck. 

[thestjamesdeandaydream]

Jesse kissed her cheek and closed his eyes for a moment when he allowed himself to relax. “I can’t wait until you’re fully healed. I miss getting to hug you tightly. Among other things.”

“That sounds like an amazing idea,” she said as she carefully got up, grabbed the baby monitor. She set the monitor on the side table and glanced at it to see the twins still sleeping. “Bed is an amazing place,” she said as she snuggled up. When Jesse told her to be the big spoon she made a face. “Um, you know I’m the one that got cut open right?” she asked shaking her head. “And I’m still very sore with stitches.” 

[thestjamesdeandaydream]

Jesse groaned again when she turned him down. Rolling over, he gently put his arm around her, making sure to avoid the spots that were still sensitive from surgery. “The things I do for you because I love you,” he said playfully, kissing her shoulder.

“I think us time is very much needed without a baby in between us,” she laughed as she watched him walk into the other room. When he came back she kissed him and leaned into Jesse but winced when her stomach started to hurt a little. “We’re pretty good at this parenting thing,” she laughed before looking up at him. “Though you know it’s killing me that I’m not in a theater right now right?” 

[thestjamesdeandaydream]

“Come on, let’s go lay in bed together,” he said as he took her hand and led the way to their bedroom. Jesse dropped into bed with a groan, running his hands over the sheets in a way that said that he had never appreciated how amazing their bed was before he had become a sleep deprived father of two. “I think today you get to be the big spoon,” he said as he curled up a little.

“Of course they are going to be special. I expect nothing less,” she smiled as she looked at him. “We are going to do a good job and they will be nice young lady and gentleman,” she said looking at Logan. “I’m going to put him in his bed,” she said as she got up and walked into their room and put Logan in his little bassinet after swaddling him. She walked back out into the living room with the monitor in her hand so she could watch Logan if he got up. “Do you want to go put her in bed or leave her out here?” Rachel asked looking at Jesse. 

[thestjamesdeandaydream]

“I’ll take her to her crib. We can use some us time,” he said as he carefully picked Eliza up and carried her off to the nursery to lay her down to sleep. He kissed both babies before returning to his wife. “Look at us nailing this parenting thing,” he said proudly as he crashed down next to her.

“Oh I’m sure he’ll take after you,” she laughed as she rubbed Logan’s back. “I don’t know he could be. He’s going to be something special, that I do know and so is she,” Rachel said looking in the swing at Eliza. “Some special kids.” 

[thestjamesdeandaydream]

Jesse put his arm around Rachel and leaned his head against hers. “These kids are bound to be special. They’re ours,” he said proudly. “I just hope we do a good job and they grow up as two well adjusted people who are happy and love their parents.”
