Chevre and Brie's pediatrician advised the couple to keep the babies away from crowded places until such time they have received, at least, the basic vaccines. So Andrea worked from home with Arti and Han-joon helped in any way he can.
Yeong and Yanmie already left for Korea with Yeong Soon. Han-joon stayed with Andrea as a precaution.
Hanxi was getting bored, so he went back to working with Lu Fang as part of his security team. He took over Gao Rou's position as the head of security.
Gao Rou became the operations manager for all commodity infrastructure investments of Lu-Wei Enterprises but still took the time to look after Gabriel's Den.
Since the couple went back to their busy lives, they have been having difficulty setting time for their dinner. So at the very least, they scheduled to have breakfast together. Lu Fang cooked every morning and both would have a lovely meal every seven o'clock.
From Mondays to Saturdays, Karen worked during the day with Aunt Rosa. Xing Mi, the midwife, worked at night only from Mondays to Fridays.
On Sundays, the couple did not have any help with the babies. Sometimes Aunt Rosa changed her days off, but most of the time, they were on their own.
Chevre woke up crying just shortly after sunrise. Lu Fang went to the nursery to grab the little guy and could not help but adore his small tongue sticking, "Boy, you are always hungry. Aren't you?"
Entering their bedroom, he saw Andrea was still fast asleep. She was up just a few hours ago, feeding the babies.
The man carefully climbed up the bed and laid down Chevre before waking up his wife. "Babe, someone is hungry."
Andrea peeked with one eye seeing Chevre beside her and lifted her head to kiss him on the cheek but the man stopped her saying, "Babe? You are not supposed to kiss their cheeks yet."
She frowned and protested, My mouth is clean. You sucked it dry last night, remember?" She kissed Chevre either way then added," I just make sure not to get saliva on them, babe. You worry too much. Besides, what is the use of having cute pink cheeks if they can't be kissed?"
After burping Chevre the man laid him beside Andrea and went back to check on Brie. She was already awake, smiling and raising her hands at her daddy. Her eyes seemed to sparkle as she slowly put her mittens inside her mouth.
"No! No, Brie! That's not food. Come here, my little princess. Let's go to mommy and get you fed."
Surprisingly, Chevre was still awake, playing with Andrea's fingers. "Oh, look, baby. Daddy's here to give you a bath!"
"Me?" Lu Fang protested.
"Yes, you? I'm going to feed Brie, who else would bathe him."
"Hmmmm," said Lu Fang, his face giving a sneer. He was always nervous about giving the babies a bath.
"You can do it, babe! You are the best daddy in the world."
Placing Chevre in his tub, he heard him fart.
"Buddy, that better not be what I think it is?"
The moment Lu Fang opened Chevre's diaper, he was relieved to see that it wasn't dirt. He happily bathed and got him changed to a new set of clothes. The man then went back to check on his wife and his little girl. "Here's Chevre, fresh, smelling like an angel."
Andrea smiled at her husband and then pointed out to Brie. "Guess who's next?"
"You are not feeding anymore," Lu Fang protested.
"I'm going to pump milk. Gotta save for the rainy days."
"There is still some left?!" He asked in disbelief.
She raised her brow at his words and lied, "Yes, there is! Please, babe. Give Brie a bath."
He ended up doing so. It wasn't like he did not want to. Apart from being afraid of how delicate the twins were, he still had to cook breakfast. Unfortunately, his wife did not eat bread or cereal. She preferred meat soup or any kind of fresh soup plus meat.
After getting changed, Brie started to yawn so Lu Fang placed her in the crib and came back for Chevre. As he was about to pick up his boy, he heard him fart again, then a foul smell followed.
"Ooh! I need to go to the bathroom!" Andrea rushed to the toilet leaving Lu Fang with the dirty work.
A few minutes passed, finally, the man was done cleaning up his son and had already put him to sleep. He checked the time and saw, it was rather late for breakfast.
He started walking towards the door, hoping to get some cooking, but Brie began to cry. As he sniffed, he realized someone else needed a change of diaper. With both hands on his waist, he murmured, "Sundays. It used to be sex day, now it's dirty diapers day."
While there were times when the couple pushed each other to take care of the babies, there were also times when they would simply lay in bed and watch the twins sleep. The couple would take videos or pictures, capturing every special moment like their smiles, cute yawns, when they'd crawl to find warmth or sometimes sucking on their faces.
"Babe, are we ever going to go outside the house on Sundays?" Asked Lu Fang.
Andrea giggled and answered, "Let's have them blessed first. Who did you name as their godparents?"
"Gao Rou and... I'm actually thinking of General Lei."
"Yeah, why not?" Andrea responded, smiling. She was surprised how Lu Fang had become more and more comfortable with Lei Dong after he had a girlfriend.
"Yanmei."
"How about Kara?" asked Andrea.
"Kara?"
"You know, the girl you were obsessed with that you asked Bolin to look for in the entire city!"
"Hmmmm… Very funny."
After completing the names of godparents, the two remained in bed, staring at each other lovingly and in between, were their most precious twins, sleeping.
Lu Fang reached out to his wife, caressed her cheeks and said, "Let's have the babies blessed before General Lei's wedding then let's have our own after that."
Hearing about the wedding, Andrea sat up all of a sudden and said, "Which reminds me. I have to work out and get rid of this belly."
She kissed Lu Fang and got ready to leave then reminded him, "They just had milk so they shouldn't be hungry soon. Be right back, babe."
He pressed his face against the pillow, realizing he was left with the twins. After a minute of just lying down, he noticed a familiar foul smell. He turned to find Brie raising her legs, her dirt stained on the sheets. If that wasn't enough to make the man frown, Chevre also started crying.
He immediately ringed his wife, "Babe, come back here. I don't care about your belly. I miss you already. I can't live a minute without you."
