Louis glanced at Emily with a meaningful look. After playing with their eyebrows, the two covered their mouths and giggled. "Emily and I have an L in our names," Louis opened the explanation. "Meanwhile, Mommy and Daddy have the letter R in their names," Emily continued before nodding deeply. "So ...." "Our little baby must have an L and an R in his or her name!" The twins stood on tiptoe and spread their arms in unison. While Kara laughed heartily, Jeremy and Ava stared at each other. "L and R? I think it has something to do with space too." "No, Auntie. We discussed it on the way here. We haven’t seen such a beautiful sky." Louis shook his head slightly. "Then, is his name Larry? Rully? Raul? Lyra? Liar?" Emily's lips immediately pursed. "No, Uncle. Don't just guess. We've worked hard to think about it with Mommy and Daddy." Jeremy chuckled lightly. "So what?" "If it's a girl, her name is Rylee!" Emily brought her hands together and placed them next to her cheeks. "And if
"Are they still sleeping?" Frank asked as he sat at the mouth of the tent. Kara turned her head with a gentle gaze. Her smile brightened when she greeted her husband's handsome face. "Yeah, it looks like they're exhausted. Look." Kara looked back at the twins. "Louis is sleeping with opened mouth." While rubbing Kara's arm, Frank joined in observing his children. A faint laugh escaped his mouth. Louis and Emily looked comfortable in their sleeping bags. One was in the shape of a lion. Another one was in the shape of a bear. Both were equally adorable. "It's natural they're tired. They went to sleep at two o'clock. Now, should we wake them up?" Kara nodded slightly. "If we don't wake them up, they'll sulk. They've been waiting for the sunrise here since last week." Frank took a deep breath then exhaled quickly. "Okay, no problem. This is one of my favorite jobs." Frank changed position to rest on both knees. A second later, he began to shower the twins' cheeks with soft kisses.
Jeremy glanced at Ava. "If I leave, you'll be here alone. Can that still be called a honeymoon?" he whispered. Ava stroked Jeremy's arm. "I'm fine. I can wait in the van while relaxing and collecting other names. You just go. Consider it as a survey to accompany our child for a walk later." "Come with us, Uncle. Auntie won't be alone. Mommy will accompany her. The guards are also camping not far behind. Auntie and Mommy will be safe. Besides, we won't be long. At eight o'clock, we have to leave for museum." Jeremy furrowed his brows for a moment. "We go with the campervan?" "No. Daddy has prepared a sophisticated car. What is it called, Louis?" "High clearance vehicle," Louis said proudly. "In a moment, one of the guards will bring the car here." After a moment of silence, Jeremy finally nodded. "Okay, but I have to prepare first." "I'll prepare breakfast." Ava raised her finger. "No need, Auntie. Mommy made lots of sandwiches. Uncle and Auntie can eat that." Hearing the twin
Seeing a huge rattlesnake shaking its tail, Louis gasped. He quickly threw his bag in front of Emily's feet, making it a barrier in case the snake attacked. "Come on, Emily! Get up quickly!" Louis grabbed her's arm. With tears streaming down her cheeks, Emily tried to gather strength in her legs. Just when she managed to get up, Frank picked her up and hugged her tightly. "Are you okay, Princess? The snake didn't bite you, right?" He patted the trembling little back. Wiping her face with the back of her hand, Emily shook her head. "No, but I was very scared. The snake looked angry at me. In fact, I was just looking for the sound." Frank breathed a sigh of relief. "The snake was angry because it felt threatened. Next time, if there's a sound like that, don't come any closer, hmm?" After getting a nod from the princess, Frank turned to Louis who had been pulled back by Jeremy. "Are you okay too, Buddy?" Louis nodded with a serious expression. "Yes, I was very surprised when Emil
"Uncle, have you ever heard of the Mobius Ribbon?" Louis asked as they were on their way to the next location. Jeremy raised an eyebrow. "What's that?" "You haven't heard it? The Mobius strip is a one-sided surface that has no boundaries." Jeremy's eyes opened wider. His forehead was filled with more wrinkles. "Uncle must be confused, Louis. We were also confused the first time we read it," Emily said lightly. Her face was already beaming again. While walking by Louis' side, her tiny hand kept holding on Frank. Jeremy blinked in a daze. He felt like a fool. "Try explaining further, Louis. Make me understand." He patted the boy's shoulder. Louis took the strap of the backpack that was hanging under his arm. His footsteps involuntarily slowed down. "Uncle, pay attention to this. Think of my backpack strap as a ribbon." Jeremy listened. He and the others slowed down in unison, keeping up with Louis' speed. "This is a straight ribbon, right? Now I twist it once, then I connect th
Ava pressed her lips with her chin. "I don't think Jeremy will care too much about that. He'll do what I want. Don't men tend to be like that?" Kara nodded in agreement. "That's right. Frank wouldn't mind either. But still, we have to ask." Suddenly, Kara raised her index finger. Her eyes flashed with enthusiasm. "How about when they come back, we just ask them straight away?" "And the twins?" "No problem. I think they will be very happy to hear about our plan." Ava developed a smile. "Okay." "Okay! I can't wait for them to come back. Now, let's write down what needs to be prepared later." Kara picked up her book and straightened her pen. Seeing that, Ava's lips curved sadly. "You know what? This is the first time I've planned something with a friend." Kara blinked in confusion. "A friend?" Ava nodded awkwardly. "Can I think of you like that? I know our husbands are related, but ... I wonder what it would be like to have a close friend. All this time, I've been busy being al
Not only the Twins, but Frank and Jeremy were also wide-eyed. "Asking what?" While Louis and Emily blinked waiting for an answer, Kara and Ava exchanged glances. "Ava and I are talking about preparing for the birth of our babies. We're having a bit of trouble because we don't know if they’re boys or girls. So ...." Frank matched the swing in Kara's tone with the movement of his head. "Do you want the doctor to announce the gender before they are born?" Kara sighed with a smile. "Yeah, how about we have a gender reveal?" In an instant, the twins' eyes widened like the full moon. Their mouths were also wide open, letting out joy. "Will we find out soon it's Russell or Rylee?" Emily pointed at Kara's bulging stomach. "And also Oscar or Oasis?" Louis pointed at Ava's stomach while glancing at Jeremy. While Ava and Kara were confused, Jeremy put on a lazy look. "Louis? Seriously?" Louis chuckled in amusement. "What's the harm? It's a nice name." Emily shook her head at his joke.
"These are for you guys." Barbara and Philip put hats on the twins' heads. Then, they put t-shirts on the shoulders of the two toddlers. "These too." While the twins were stunned, the newlyweds continued. They gave them sweaters, beanies, socks, books, stickers, posters, tote bags, and also small plush animals in the shape of orcas and bees. The twins' heads were almost covered by the bulging pile of souvenirs. "Thank you, Auntie. We didn't expect the souvenirs we got to be this many." Emily giggled at the end. "Yes, this is a lot, Auntie!" Louis exclaimed without looking at Barbara. The Orca's tail was covering half his face. "This is proof that we have not forgotten you," Barbara said before standing up and approaching the others. "We also brought souvenirs for you, Adults." While the newlyweds were busy sharing what they had bought, Kara laughed amusedly. "Thank you, Barbara, Philip. I think you were very enthusiastic when shopping at the souvenir shop." "Yeah, people might
