Chapter 39: 39. Pwaying to Jesus.

"Mummy! Mummy!! Mummy!!!" I hear the twins scream and I can feel them jumping on the bed, God please don’t let them jump on my body— Ahh!

God doesn’t answer those kinds of prayers.

"Wake up mummy, wake up!!" They shake and shake me, I can feel one small person sitting on my leg and the other small person on my back, the two of them are shaking and screaming.

That’s right, I slept in with them on their bed last night.. The room that had been prepared was meant for me and Duke. I’ve never shared a room with him before, And after that somewhat heated session with Duke, I couldn’t bring myself to share a room with him, so I opted to sleep with the twins.

"Mummy wake up!! It’s Cwismas!! Gwanma say baby Jesus is born! Wake up! Wake up mummy, mewi Cwismas!!! Wake up!"

"Come hear you two!!" I turn around and the both turnover on the bed, giggling nonstop as I grab them and give them a good shake, just like they’ve been doing to me.

"Mummy stop, haha" Shelly is laughing while trying to hide behind his sister. "Haha, Mummy no, haha." Renny is cackling as I tickle them both.

"Merry Christmas my babies!!" I kiss and kiss them. Oh I can just munch on these two. Their round rose cheeks, their big eyes, and their sweet tiny voices. I love it all.

"Mewi Cwismas mummy," They say together, hugging my neck as though they wish to strangle me together, but it’s fine, anything for this two munchkins.

"Come on mummy, we have to go down." Shelly begins to drag my arm.

"Gwanma and Gwanpa and Ayan, and daddy is waiting for you." Renny grabs onto my other hand. "It’s Jesus’s betday and daddy betday. Yets go now."

Ah that’s true...

Last night, after wishing me a Merry Christmas, he told me instead of wishing him a Merry Christmas, he asked that I wished him a happy birthday, because it is his birthday today.

I still can’t believe it, our birthdays are so close!! Who would have guessed?!

"Mummy, come down." They pull me.

"Okay, okay, alright. Just give me a minute." I say. "Let me say good morning to Jesus first."

I sit myself up on the bed and I’m trying to say a quick prayer, "Mummy what are you doing?" I can hear Renny asking. I try to ignore her but she’s tugging at my hand, and it is quite distracting.

"Praying, darling. I am praying, so give me a minute." I answer her question before closing my eyes again.

"Gwanma and Gwanpa pways too." Renny says.

"That’s good." I say and continue my prayer with my eyes closed.

"Why do you pway?" Renny asks again.

Dear Lord, they are just so curious, "Well, I pray so I can communicate with Jesus." For now, that’s the easiest way to ease their curiosity so I can quickly end my prayer.

"The baby Jesus?!" Renny asks and I just nod to her, not wanting to interrupt my prayers again.

"Daddy dozen pway though."

"W_what?" I open my eyes to stare at Shelly who just spoke.

"Daddy dozen pway though." He repeats.

"Daddy doesn’t pray? Is that what you said?" I ask and he nods.

"Dozen daddy wanna comumu— comimu—comyumyu-" He pauses, trying to get the word right.

"Communicate?" I ask again and he nods.

"Yes, dozen daddy wanna comwuyincate with Jesus?" He asks. Oh boy, how do I explain this to them?

"Well, you see, the thing is your daddy is a very busy man and he doesn’t have much time to communicate with Jesus, but, since I am your mummy and your daddy’s wife, I talk to Jesus for your daddy."

"Weally?"

"Yes, really." I bump his nose with my finger and his face cringes as a smile forms on his lips.

"Can mummy talk to Jesus for me and Wenny too?" He asks.

"Why, yes of course I can. Do you have something you want to say to Jesus? You want me to tell him something for you?" I ask and they both nod enthusiastically.

"Tell yim, my name is Sheryock Gwand and I am twee years old."

"OK!"

"Me_ Me_ Me too!" Irene happily says while jumping on the bed. "Tell yim I am Iwene Gwand and I am also twee years old."

"Tell yim I yike you mummy." Shelly says again.

"Oh my love I yike you too."

"I yike you too, so tell Jesus too." Renny also says.

"I double yike you too."

"And tell yim Happy betday too."

"Yes, yes, tell yim happy betday."

"You know what, you can tell him that on your own. Just follow my lead, now put your hands together like this," I join my hands together in front of my chest and they do the same, "Good, now look up," they do that too, "Now say, Happy birthday Jesus!!!" I scream and they do the same thing but longer and with even more energy.

"Did he hear wus?" Shelly asks.

"Yes my darling, and he said thank you to you two." I bump their noses with my finger again and they both giggle happily.

"Can we go down, now?" Renny asks and I nod.

"Let’s go!" They instantly hold onto both my hands.

"Careful when climbing down from the bed." I say to them as I climb down with them.

"Wait, mummy needs to wash her face and brush first. Wait, have you brushed your teeth?" I ask them and they both nod and flash their small white teeth for me to see as proof.

"Then let me brush first then we—"

"Nooooo, Evweybody wis waiting!" Shelly says. Damn his hold is almost as strong as his father’s!

"Yets go mummy, Yets go. You will bwush yaterrrrr!" Renny drawls.

There is clearly no winning against them. "Alright, let’s go down." I can just run back upstairs later. For now, I just allow them to lead me.

"Ah, mummy wait!"

"What?" I ask as Renny suddenly makes us stop as we’re about to step out of the room.

She looks up at me and literally says, "I didn’t get a pwesent for daddy, you will give me back the one I gave you so I can give thwem to daddy. You can keep some, I will just give some to daddy." It takes all my strength to hold back the laugh that’s about to burst out of my throat right now.

I don’t need to ask to know that Shelly has the exact same request of me.

"Well, I don’t mind sharing with your daddy. So, OK." I nod and they both beam with joy.

"Mummy wis a good girl." Shelly says and I finally let out that laugh.

"Thank you, my fine sir." I calmly say and he blushes. "Now shall we?" They nod vigorously and lead me again.

"Careful, no running. If you run down the stairs, you’ll fall and lose all your teeth, then you’ll end up looking like a bunny without teeth. And I won’t tell you sorry. I will laugh at you." I say as we reach the stairs and they instantly and wisely slow their steps, while still maintaining their happy countenance.

Brilliant and obedient kids. Their father has been raising them well all this time.

...

"Gwanma Gwanma!! Can we open up our pwesents now?!! We brought mummy" They instantly let go of my hands as we climb down the last step.

"Go ahead, the white ones are for Shelly and the Green ones are for Renny." She says, and they scream happily, bolting towards the small decorated Christmas tree in the living room.

I wonder where the guys are. It’s just Emily here.

"Merry Christmas, Champagne." She says as I reach her side, enveloping me in a nice warm hug. Maybe it’s the sweater she’s wearing, but it’s really warm. So warm that I wrap my hand around her body and I don’t want to let go.

"Merry Christmas, Emily."

"Darling, you should better start calling me mom. You’re married to my boy and that makes me your mother. Automatically..." She says as she rubs her hand on my back while still hugging me.

"So, how was your first night?" She asks," Come over here and help yourself with anything. There’s pie, there’s cake, salad, rice, muffins, chicken, turkey, pasta, you name it! On Christmas, it’s an all-you-can-eat buffet."

And dear Lord, she isn’t kidding! The eight man dining table is packed with everything one can think of. It’s a feast!!!

"Oh, Emily, I am so sorry I slept in. I should have woken up earlier to help out. I am really sorry. It’s just I’m used to not doing much on Christmas so I just—" Ah, I’m giving lame excuses. "I’m so sorry I wasn’t helpful at all." I simply say.

"Ahhhh! A bigger superman!!" Shelly’s screams reach us. Guess someone gave him another superman for Christmas.

"You can cook?" Emily asks with furrowed brows.

"Well, I’m not the best cook, but yes, I can cook." I think I make a mean pasta, of course only Mary knows that. Rowan never ate what I cooked.

"It’s Cinderwella and her pwince!!" Renny is shouting now.

"Well then I guess we have our new year chef then." She shrugs and slowly, the corner of my lips curls up into a smile and I nod.

"If you’ll allow me, I’ll give it all I got." I promise.

"Sure." She smiles, "You didn’t answer my question. How was your first night?"

"Ah, right before the twins shook me out of my slumber, it was wonderful, thank you." We both laugh together.

"I take the blame for that one. They were only following orders." She says.

"Uhm, Emily, where_where are the guys?" I ask.

"Ah, they are outside... giving Duke a snow bath." She giggles.

Dear God, do you know what a snow bath is???
