The past few days in the hospital have been wonderful for Becca. Andy and Michael kept visiting and checking up on her and it made her happy. They even teamed up to get her a present. That day, Michael stayed outside the room with the present while Andy went in. "Hey sis, how you feeling?" He asked. "I'm feeling much better, Andy, thanks. Where's Michael?" She asked, holding Keiko in her arms while Brandon was asleep in his little bed. "He's outside. He had to do something really quick. But...he and I got you something." "You did? You guys didn't have to get me anything." "But we had to. We knew you'd like this one." Andy went to the door and opened it and Michael walked in with a medium size box. Michael carefully placed the box on the edge of the bed and had Andy hold it in place while he went to get Keiko out of Becca's arms so she could open it. Becca looked at Keiko and saw her cuddling up in Michael's arms. She smiled. "That's so cute." She said. "Open the present, hon. Look what we got you." Michael said, motioning towards the package. Becca grabbed it and opened it carefully and looked inside. Her eyes went wide and her jaw dropped. "Oh my God..." She lifted out a stuffed bunny rabbit set. Her rabbit was red, Michael's was black, Brandon's was golden yellow, and Keiko's was silvery grey. "Oh my God, you guys...they are so adorable." "That's not all of them. Look down at the bottom. We got one for Prince, Paris, and Blanket, too." Andy said. Becca looked at the bottom of the box and saw a green bunny, a blue bunny, and a purple bunny. "The green one is for Blanket, the blue one is for Prince, and the purple one is for Paris. We'd figure if we get you and the new born's one, why not get the whole family one?" Becca looked up at them and smiled. "This is the most wonderful gift ever, you two. Thanks. Prince, Paris and Blanket are gonna love their bunnies, too. I know it." Michael saw that Keiko was asleep and carefully put her in her little bed and covered her slightly. Becca looked at Keiko and Brandon and smiled. Michael went over to Becca and kissed her head. "Thanks for coming, Michael and Andy. I really appreciate it. Now I just can't wait to get out of here." Michael chuckled at her. "Well, I gotta go. I have to go to work. Later sis. See you when you get out." Andy said. "Later, Andy." Becca waved goodbye to her brother as he left. Michael turned to Becca and bent down and kissed her. "I'll have to get going, too. Jermaine is waiting out in the car, with Jackie, for me so we can go get cribs for Keiko and Brandon." "Awe, alright. Can I get one more kiss before you go?" Michael chuckled and gave her a long, romantic kiss. After that, he left. The nurse came in and took the twins out of the room and into the nursery.
The following week
Becca was sitting up in bed, playing with Keiko and Brandon. She's been getting constant visits from Michael, which was good. Brandon started whining and Becca rolled her eyes and moved the gown so he could be fed. She winced because it hurt, but she was getting used to it. She'd have to do this until they want a bottle. Once he was done feeding, she moved him away and draped the gown over her chest. He was all giggly and so was Keiko. "Keiko, why are you all giggly?" She wondered. Becca saw hands coming from the end of the bed and tickling Keiko. She rolled her eyes. "Michael, I know it's you." She said. Michael stood up and smiled. "You know me too well, Becca." He said. He sat down next to the bed and took Brandon and played with him. While he was playing, the nurse walked in. "Well, Becca, you're free to go. Need some help with getting out to the car?" She asked. "No, that's alright. I got all the help I need right next to me." Becca motioned to Michael. "Right, right." She nodded and left the room. Michael carefully moved Keiko into her bed and put Brandon in his bed so he could help Becca change. She was still in slight pain, but it's nothing too severe. She got her bra and underwear on, but had to have Michael help with her pants and shirt. He did, and helped put her socks on since she can barely bend over after so long. Once the socks were on, she slid her shoes on and went to get Keiko. Michael got Brandon and they headed out of the hospital. Once out of the hospital, they got into the car and headed back to the house.
Back at the house
Prince, Paris and Blanket were anxious to see their baby brother and baby sister. Once they saw the car drive up, they ran outside to help. Paris held onto Keiko and Prince held onto Brandon. Blanket saw a box in the back so he went to grab it and took it inside. Becca got out of the car and so did Michael and they all went inside. Once inside, they sat down on the couch and chairs. Paris and Prince handed Michael and Becca Brandon and Keiko. "Prince, Paris, Blanket...these are your new siblings. Keiko Lynn and Brandon Joseph." Becca said. "Are they Jacksons?" Prince asked. Michael nodded. "Yes, they are, Prince." He said. Blanket looked at his baby sister and smiled. "She looks like you, mom." He said to Becca. Becca smiled back at Blanket. "She does, doesn't she? But she resembles your father a bit, too. Her hair is black and her eyes are a deep brown, just like his." (Me: Wanna know the odd thing? Becca may be half Japanese, but she has dark brown hair and blue eyes.) "And Brandon resembles your mother a bit, too. He's got the dark hair and blue eyes." "Personality is what comes next. But that will be a mystery for all of us until they are at least 4 or 5." Prince, Paris and Blanket nodded. It's true about that. "Mom...can I play with Keiko?" Paris asked. Becca smiled. "Sure, just be careful, ok?" Becca handed Keiko to Paris and she smiled. "I will, mom. I promise." Paris then went into the middle of the living room and made sure nothing harmful was around, then she started playing with Keiko. Keiko was giggling and sticking her tongue out. Paris giggled. "She's so cute." Blanket soon joined her with Brandon and they had them play with each other. It was so cute the way they were getting along already.
Later that night
Becca and Michael put Keiko and Brandon in their new pajamas and put them to bed. "I think they need a lullaby. Don't you think so, Michael?" Becca suggested. "Yeah. Let's sing Ben to them." He said and she nodded.
"Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With my friend to call my own I'll never be alone
And you my friend will see, you've got a friend in me
Ben, you're always running here and there
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
If you ever look behind and don't like what you find
There's something you should know, you've got a place to go
I used to say, "I", And "Me"
Now it's "Us", Now it's "We"
Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again if they had a friend like Ben
Like Ben, like Ben."
Once they finished singing the song, the saw Brandon and Keiko asleep. Becca leaned over and kissed their heads and so did Michael. They went to their bed and got under the covers and looked at each other. "We did a good job, making those two." Michael said. Becca nodded. "Yes we did, Michael...yes we did." She replied. They kissed and soon fell asleep, Becca cuddled up in Michael's arms, hearing his heartbeat lull her to sleep.
