The sudden movement had jerked Stephan awake. He snapped open his eyes and got up slowly, letting his scent and warmth seep trhough to Talon gradaully before enveloping him in his arms, knowing Talon needed the time to cope. He didnt even ask about his nightmares, not wanting his mate to relive the horrible scenes.
After a few moments Talon laid back down closed his eyes and managed to fall asleep for awhile. He didn't have any more nightmares at least and managed to sleep for quite a bit before he was awoken by Phoenix crawling into bed with them. Talon opened his eyes looking over at the boy with a smile. "Hmm? Whats wrong?" He asked noticing the look on the child's face. "Did you have a nightmare?" Phoenix only nodded and Talon moved over laying Phoenix down between himself and Stephan. "Well you know what makes that all better?" he whispered. "Tickles!" he smiled tickling phoenix and making him laugh. Even if it woke up Stephan.
Stephan woke up to child's laughing and a vigorously moving little body, he knew before he opened his eyes that this must be his child, Phoenix most proabbly. He squinted his eyes to see the squirming child and smiled wide. "Oh you two are having such a fun time, allow me to join in please?" Without waiting for a respond Stephan started tickling the boy making his squirm so hard he was getting dangerously close to kicking Talon in the belly. Stephan noticed it and quickly caught the boy in his arms and rolled up the bed. "Let's go find your brother and include him in this tickle war!" He rubbed on the little belly of Phoenix and suggested, looking back to exchange a smile with Talon before walking out
Talon smiled and got up letting Stephan carry Phoenix but Phoenix quickly squirmed out of Stephan's arms running over to his brother's bed and tackling him awake. He barely had time to wake before he was being tickled by Phoenix. It really was cute seeing the two of them play like this.
Stephan held Talon when they looked at their children playing together. He kissed Talon on the cheek and asked quietly. "Shall we tell thrm they are soon getting another little sibling to play with?" He gently covered the belly that had grown much during th3 last month.
"I think that would be a lovely idea, after breakfast?" He said quietly now that the morning sickness was over Talon was actually hungry he wondered how the twins would react to having a new brother or sister around. It would be quite intersting to see.
"Yes. We never really discussed right? Do you prefer a girl or a boy?" Stephan started to walk away to start prepare breakfast. It was a nice relief to have the norning sickness over. "And what do you want for bfeakfast?"
Talon shrugged fallowing after him leaving the boys to play they had both now taken to the floor it seemed Phoenix had been forgiven for waking up his brother and they were playing with some toys. "I think I a girl would be nice honestly, but it won't bother me either way as long as it's healthy." Talon stepped into the kitchen looking around he wasn't really sure what he wanted. " waffles?" he finally asked looking over at Stephan.
"The kids would be thrilled with waffles. Waffles with nutella what do you think? And also some chocolate sauce, ans strawberries if you feel like it?" Since Talon had been able to keep food down once again, Stephan had been very enthusiastic in boosting his husband's appetite.
"Sounds good to me." Talon said happily and they set about there normal routine while Stephan cooked Talon capt the twins busy and out of trouble. After about 30 minutes he would bring them down stairs and set them both at the table letting one of them help set the table with him. It was the system they had developed in the last few months and it seemed to work quite well.
Stephan got the food done and plated them, adding an extra slice in Talon's dish and gave him a smile. They had managed to finish breakfast in relative peace and tidiness, the kids amnaged to get nutella on their faces and hands, but that's about it ans the table was miraculously clean. Stephan asked th3 children to help clear after themselves before letting Talon bring them to wash themselves.
They set the dishes in the sink at such time in witch Talon also wiped off there hands and faces. With both children now happily fed and clean he looked over his shoulder at his husband smiling lightly he spoke quietly so only he could hear. "should we tell them now?"
"Ya i think so." Stephan lifted up Draconis and led his family into the living room. He sat down with his younger on his lap. "Buddy, do you rememeber Marcus from school? The little sister that he got? And Nancy and her little brother that sometimes go together with her father to pick her up from school?" He saw with the corner of his eyes that Talon had sat down with Phoenix as well.
Both kids looked up at Stephan and nodded silently they were both curious they were aware they were about to get news of some sort that they were about to be told something important and both looked up at Stephan intently.
"You are going to have a little sibling just like them! A baby is now growing in papa's belly, we still dont know about thr gender but he or she will come out and meet us in a few months." Stephan smiled as he nudged closer to Talon and cupped his belly. With a hand showing the girth of th3 belly, it appeared to br quite prominent without the loose shirt covering it up.
The Twins looked at Talon absolutely amazed "How long?" Phoenix asked poking Talon's belly lightly "Whats it's name?" He seemed more curious then anything but still both seemed rather happy about the news witch was good considering.
"We havnt come up with a name yet. What do you suggest?" Stephan exchanged a smile with Talon, hugging his husband a bit closer to share the relief on the acceptance of the twins. "And do you want a little sister or a little brother?"
The twins shrugged looked at each other for a moment and then answered at the same time. "A boy, girls a gross." Talon couldn't help but laugh a bit at the statement the twins had made. The two threw out a few names though in all honesty none of them had been vary good considering the twins were only 4. They had suggested naming the child Spot.
Stephan laughed and looked at Talon. "Guess we couldnt rely on them for naming the kid. That would be our job and it's still too early to deligate this right and duty." He kissed his husband, quite enjoying this coz family time.
Talon was happy as well and curled up with Stephan giving him a kiss as the kids went back to playing again. "That we will, im sure will come up with something good.. I mean we did last time didn't we?" Talon smiled up at Stephan for a moment, telling the kids had gone a lot better then he thought it was going to go.
