"Aww, it’s okay, my babies..." she said, carrying them both, taking Meatball in Garan’s arms as well. The kids obviously liked their mother more, and if Garan took one, then it’d just be another fight.

It was natural. Not only was she their mother, she was softer, and had the relaxing scent characteristic of wood users.

Harold scratched the back of his neck as he looked at the crying babies. "I’m sorry, they just bumped into each other..."

"It’s okay," she said, "They’re entering that energetic toddler stage..." she said. "We knew they’d be a handful."

Harold sighed and said his greetings, telling them the events (with Ansel) before heading back to the kitchen. Meanwhile, all three parents including Ansel, struggled to calm the babies.

Babies were odd in a way that when they heard other babies crying, they’d cry more intensely. It’s natural, linked to their social instincts and how their brains respond to stimuli.

It didn’t make it less stressful, of course.

She smooched their faces, and she kissed them so loudly there was a smooch sound. "There! Pain gone!"

They stopped crying, rounded eyes staring at her.

It was adorable but also heartbreaking.

Seeing the babies calm down, Garan smiled and placed a proud kiss on his wife’s forehead before leaning down to give his children a show of affection as well.

He took the weights off his wife’s arms and carried them with his arms, so now they were nestling in his arms. Their little feet dangled in the air, lightly swinging, and their eyes stared at their mother in front of them.

"Aww... my babies are the cutest," she swooned. She then recalled what Ansel said about how the fight started in the first place.

"You are brothers and sisters, you’re supposed to love and support each other, y’know?"

They stared at her with those cute beady eyes, just listening to her voice.

"Someday, we’ll be gone, and you’ll have each other to depend on," she paused, touching both of their cheeks. "Mother hopes that you two would support each other so we don’t have to worry so much, you know?"

The babies naturally did not understand the deeper meaning in her words, but they did feel her emotions. When she smiled, they did too.

"Now, hug," she said, pointing at the two of them. "Hug your brother/sister."

The babies blinked and then turned to each other. Soon, they stretched their little arms to the other and Garan helpfully assisted them.

"D’aww..."

The adults swooned at the cute sight, giving them a few bites of sweets as a reward for being adorable.

And so, the babies were well-behaved again, and hopefully would allow the adults to rest well tonight.

...

Sadly, the rest of the night would not be so peaceful either. After putting the babies to their cribs in the other room, the couple’s room started to heat up.

Garan hovered over his flushed wife, his hands caressing her erogenous zones, while his lips traced over her face down to her neck.

Knock Knock Knock

Garan froze, while Althea flinched. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Mwamwa?" a milky voice echoed from the other side. "Dow wocked?"
