Chapter Five

“I think you two beasties may have gotten more food on me than actually ended up in your tummies.” Leo sighed as he stood from his seat in front of the two highchairs and went to rinse out the washcloth that was covered in pureed pears, along with his shirt and jeans, which had collected most of the mashed peas and squash.

He was still getting the hang of feeding the babies from a spoon. Bottles were certainly much easier to handle, especially once Finn had figured out that blowing a raspberry when his mouth was full of food made his sister laugh every time. Leo had to turn away more than once when he couldn’t stifle the smile in response to his son’s antics, more so when it was followed by the sweet trill of Ellie’s irresistible giggles.

“What is going on in here?” Ben laughed as he walked into the kitchen, taking in the carnage. Leo was scraping the baby food out of his hair. “It looks like a food bomb went off!”

“That’s one way of putting it, isn’t it, squirt?” Leo looked back at Finn, who then decided to show Ben his new trick, blowing what was left of the food in his mouth all over the place, causing both Ellie and Ben to erupt in laughter. “Ben! You can’t laugh. Then he’ll think it’s hilarious and do it all the time.” Leo sighed in defeat.

“Well, I’m sure that Mommy will dissuade him of that notion soon enough. For now, let’s get these two cleaned up.” Ben reached for the clean washcloth that Leo held out and proceeded to wipe Ellie with it since she was the cleaner of the two.

When all the soft pink skin was finally fresh once again, Leo and Ben plucked the children out of their chairs and wandered into the living room. Erica was dealing with some Royal Court issues this afternoon, so Leo was looking forward to some quality daddy-baby bonding time.

They settled the twins on their backs under their favorite mobiles and watched as their quickly developing brains took in all the little toys dancing over their faces. It was so amazing to him how he could see them changing and growing every single day. What a miracle babies are, he thought.

Ellie started to fuss a bit, so Leo grabbed her favorite stuffed giraffe out of the toy bin, and her chubby little fingers grasped onto it as she cooed, as if telling it a story of her own.

It didn’t take Finn long to spot the toy his sister was enjoying and with a furrowed brow, he tried to reach for it, but their little girl was having none of it. Ellie kept making her happy gurgling noises at the giraffe, completely ignoring her brother, who was now making quite a fuss.

“Where’s your lion, Finn? You don’t want Ellie’s silly old giraffe,” Leo murmured as he dug through the toy bin, looking for the stuffed lion that Finn took to bed each night.
