I wake up late the next day. I feel well rested after a very long time. I turn around to look at Grey and he is still fast asleep. I check the baby monitor and both the girls are also sleeping soundly. I think everybody's gas slept well after weeks.
I have a shower and get into Grey's tee and a pair of loose pants. Then I go downstairs to fix myself a cup of coffee and make breakfast for the family. I make shakes for the girls, instead of fruits, which Ana will be super happy about. She doesn't like fruits and veggies, the fussy little. Then I make waffles and ice creams. Carol loves them and Chris loves ice creams too. He can survive on only ice creams weeks. Thankfully, he is not a little and knows better than that :D Then I make bottles for my little girls. I'll make them have the bottle when they wake up so we can all have breakfast together later. Grey, is not going to wake up anytime soon, I suspect.
The whole house is in a mess. It's annoying. Grey has always been more of a cleanliness freak than I am. Carol has always been very upbeat and excited, running around, throwing things and all, so I am sort of okay with being messy. I wonder how was Grey living here all these days. The place looks ransacked, to say the least.
After my coffee, I go to wake the girls up. It's getting lonely in here.
They are hugging each other and look so cute that I decide to take a picture before waking them up.
"Hey, little darlings, good morning." I shake him lightly. Both of them yawn, stretch and open their eyes.
"Uncle Jay?!" Ana squeals. "I thought I was dreaming! I thought I was dreaming!" She makes grabby hands towards me.
"And I thought you loved me more... " Carol pseudo sucks.
"Carrroollll?!!! Is this the best day ever or whaattt!" She squeals again, right in my ear and pushes me away trying to get back in the crib with her. I have never seen Ana so excited and loud.
"Nice surprise, daddy!" Carol grins at me. I want to hold her and kiss her till she is breathless but I resist the temptation. Both the girls are grinning ear to ear.
