The next morning I heard tiny cries of Laurel and Laureli.I kissed Luna who was still asleep,delicately holding her as I rose out of bed.
"Ahhh..."
I heard Luna sigh.
I kissed her head and smiled softly at my baby.
Walking over to the babies room,I put Luna in her crib,until she started to cry too.
I took her out and held her in my arms as she looked up at me,her eyes wide.
"Good morning."
I whispered.
"I have to take care of your sisters.Be good okay?"
Luna grinned,but as soon as I put her down,she began to cry again.
I sighed and took her in my arms,scooping up Laurel and Laureli.
When I held them all,they stopped crying,and I watched Laurel and Laureli stare at each other happily,obviously enjoying eachother's company,and Luna had fallen back asleep against my chest.
I also took out Duncan,and balancing each child carefully,scampered back to the bed,laying them expertly organized atop me.
I suddenly heard loud clunking.
"Dunnnnn....CAN!!"
Courtney's whisper turned into a loud yell,as I remembered how attracted I was to her anger.
"YOU LEFT THE...goddarned..."
Courtney paused to yawn and marvel at the children napping upon me.
"Pardon me.THE GODDARNED STUPID,BABY MONITOR ON SO I HEARD ALL OF THAT SOUND TIMES TEN!YOU FREAKING IDIOT!!"
Yeah,Courtney was still hormonal.
I felt the hard slap of a newspaper hit my temple.
"Ahhhhowwwww..."
I said quietly.
Duncan sat up a little and stared at Courtney.
"Hi baby....how are you?"
She rebounded from her furious display and picked up Duncan and gave him a little kiss,twisting strands of his jet black hair.
"I'm taking him for a little....yeah."
Courtney said.She was fond of Duncan.
"Dunkie....we're gonna go into the baby room and play huh?"
Duncan smiled at her and she smiled extactically back.
Courtney turned to me and angrily stared.
"I hate you."
Woah.
There was something she had not said since we were teenagers.
"Yep,me too babe."
She slapped the side of my head and walked away.
