Nick let his kisses on her neck linger and heard the tone in Emelina's voice as she asked about the babies. He moved his lips away to answer her, but he too heard the whimper. "Great timing, Emelina," he thought and turned to the twins.
"Okay, okay," he said and went to the refrigerator. He reached up and grabbed the cheerios from the top and then opened it to get two bottles of milk and a bowl that had mashed bananas in it.
He placed a bottle on each high chair and a small pile of cheerios on Emelina's before grabbing a spoon so that he could feed Jonathan his bananas.
"I try to give them most of the same meals, but Jonathan has a potassium deficiency and has to eat bananas every morning and Emelina hates them so she gets her cheerios," he explained to his wife.

Em smirked, but was slightly disappointed when they were interrupted by their daughter.It was slightly cute the way she addressed her annoyed situation.Her eyes swept to watch Nick and Em smiled, she leaned against the counter. She didnt need to, of course, but she needed to remember to be more human.
Em frowned at his words."Aww.....my baby boy has a potassium deficiency.''She said softly, with a light smile, moving to sit at the table near her kids."So, tell me something else I don't know, baby.''Em chimed at him, her eyes flashing between watching him and her children.

Nick sat down in a chair with the bananas and began to feed Jonathan as Emelina said something about his deficiency and wanted to know something else. He thought for a few minutes as he fed his son and he watched Emelina eat her cereal.
"Well, sometimes, I think Emelina tries to be you, for me, even though she never met you. Because when we're in the living room, Jonathan will sit in his corner and play with his toys and talk to himself. But, Emelina, she will sit on the floor next to either the chair or couch, depending on where I'm sitting, and stare at me until I pick her up. Then she just cuddles into my chest and will lay there for hours until she falls asleep," he said with a small laugh, watching his daughter.
In his thinking and explaining, he had stopped feeding Jonathan and he got angry about it. He took the spoon from Nick and very unsuccessfully tried to feed himself. By the time Nick realized it, Jonathan has bananas all over his face.

Em listened to Nick, watching Emelina eat her cheerios and Jonathan getting feed his bananas. Em felt slightly sorry that her son had the deficiency.What if it was her fault?Had she done something wrong as a mother. Was it all back to her not being strong enough?Either way, he was healthy enough and was an amazing little boy.
Em tilted her head, listening to Nick tell her about her children.Baby Emelina Madison was like her? Wow...Em didnt want to believe she was that connected to her daughter-but in the same light, she did.Em laughed at that.That did sound like something she would do with Nick, Hell, it was something she pretty much had done with Nick."Awww-do you act like Mommy Emelina?''She asked it a joyous laugh to her daughter
Em laughed at her son's reaction."Ah-looks like they have a bit of both of their parents in them.''Nick could be just as impatient and jealous at Em was. Standing, Em went and grabbed a wet cloth, waiting for her son to be dong eating to clean him off. There was no point cleaning him now. Leaning against the counter, Em went deep into thought again."Were you with them when they first started to talk?'She asked her husband curiously.

Nick laughed at Jonathan when he finally noticed the bananas that covered his face. He shook his head at the boy and took the spoon back from him. "Hey, buddy. Let me help you," he said as he began to feed him again. He helped him to finish up with his breakfast and then took the rag from Emelina so that he could clean him up.
Once he was done, he released him from his high chair and set him on the ground so that he could be free for a while, before he turned to his daughter. "Ah, my baby girl, you eat so slow, honey. Can Daddy have a bite," he asked her. In response, she picked up the last three cheerios on her high chair and put them into Nick's mouth.
He laughed and ate them. "I guess that means you're done," he chuckled only to get a 'no' spoken back at him. He shook his head and pulled her from her high chair and put her down as well, watching her crawl into the living room.

Em laughed along, watching her family go through what seemed like a comfortable everyday routine.Em frowned slightly, getting lost in her thoughts. They had done this so long they didnt need her.Did it really matter that she came back? Sure, she wanted to be in their lives, but did they need her? Really?
The frown stayed on Em's face as she watched her children move themselves to the living room.She had only smiled a bit when Nick joked and played with his children. She was proud and happy that he was such a wonderful father, but she wanted to feel more included."You know-you're going to have to start letting me do something. Otherwise I will feel left out.''[She said with a small smile to her husband.Her eyes switched from watching her kids to waiting for a reaction from Nick.

Nick watched the twins as they made their way to the living room and over to a few of the toys they had in there. The rest where upstairs in their bedroom. They were both so cute and very funny. He loved his kids and had accepted his role as their father easier than he had expected.
When Emelina spoke, he looked at her quickly. He realized what she meant and felt bad. He frowned and moved over to her. His arms fell around her waist and he looked down at her, drawing her chin up so that he could lock eyes with her.
"I'm sorry, baby. I'm just so used to doing it by myself. I don't want you to feel left out though. I'm so glad to have you back, but I'm going to have to get used to the transition. Just..speak up about things if I forget. I'll try. I want you to be a part of everything," he told her as they stood in the kitchen the way they were.

Em frowned again until Nick moved to her. She held her breath for a moment. It burned her throat, but she could handle it. She was getting much better at dealing with everything, and the children near made things easier and calmer.Her eyes met his when his arms wrapped around her. Em gracefully and delicately placed her hands on his shoulders.
She took in his words and accepted them. She was proud of him,for him taking on his role with such a wonderful way.After he was finished, Em nodded once, but her thoughts went off."Nick....about last night......''She started slowly and quietly."I -it wasn't what I don't want to......''She started again, her mind fighting her on her words.

Nick waited for her to do or say something in regards to his words. He watched her and saw her short nod. He expected her to say something about it, but she went to a different topic instead.
He put his hand to her lips. "I don't want to talk about it. And I know. Even after a year, you haven't changed much, baby. I know you're looks and I can still read your eyes, even if they are a different color. It's okay," he assured her.
He smirked and gave her lips a soft kiss before he took his hand in his, lacing their fingers. "They're being too quiet," he said in reference to their twins and lightly pulled her towards the living room.

Em stared at Nick and watched as she left his hand reach her lips, keeping her from talking only for his own sense of point.She frowned at him. He didn't want to talk about. But, she wanted to talk about it. That was why she brought it up. He needed to understand her. And he could read her eyes? What the hell did that mean?Em let a small hiss escape her lips, but they were cut off.Em knew what the kids were doing. She could hear them. Nick couldnt"Maybe you think it's silent.''She smirked at him, letting him take her hand and fallowing him to the living room
