Finding Them

The twins ended up sleeping in with Hunter. After they were finished in the shower, they had worn a pull-up to bed in case of accidents again. Daniel was glad they had bonded with Hunter so easily. They had slept a little later after being up late at night due to Darcy wetting the bed and also with the time difference. Daniel knew it would take a while to get the twins in a routine but he didn't mind.

Hunter was up early as he had classes in the morning but didn't have the heart to wake the twins so had lay still watching them both. Darcy had slept on his chest with Dakota over the top of her. Hunter didn't think it was comfortable at all but every time he tried to move them both twins had stirred in their sleep and got closer together. As he was watching his younger siblings sleeping, someone gently opened the door of his room. Eddie looked to see the twins still sound asleep and sighed. He wanted to play with the twins before he had to head to school. He was in his final year of high school and only had a few months left to go. Hunter looked at his brother and then back at the twins and smiled. He knew exactly what Eddie wanted and that was just to bond with the twins. "Hey bro, give it time" Hunter assured his brother who just nodded his head.

Darcy woke when she heard Hunter talking and quickly scanned her surroundings. She spotted Eddie and stared at him. Eddie smiled at his sister and waved to her causing her to cover her face with Ellie. Eddie took a step into the room "Hey would you like to get some breakfast?" He quietly asked Darcy. Darcy turned her head to the side, she wasn't sure what breakfast was at all. Eddie tried again "Are you hungry?" He asked his sister. Darcy nodded her head yes just as Dakota stirred. Dakota slowly woke up still gripping onto Woody and his sister. He scanned the room at looked towards Eddie who was still smiling at Darcy as she had answered him.

Dakota glared at Eddie not sure why he was standing there. He scooted closer to Darcy and looked towards Hunter. "It's ok bud, Eddie was asking if Darcy wanted to go eat" Hunter reassured Dakota who nodded his head. "Berry?" Dakota questioned earning a nod from Darcy, she wanted the berry too. "You want strawberries?" Asked Eddie earning a nod from both twins. "Ok, how about we do a wee then go get berries?" Asked Eddie. The twins stood on the bed and looked down at the floor trying to work out how to get down. Hunter kept quiet giving his brother a chance to interact with the twins.

Dakota once again looked to Eddie and then the floor before stating "Down". Eddie smiled, "would you like some help getting down?" He asked. Dakota nodded his head yes. Eddie walked slowly over to his baby brother and sister and helped both get down from the bed. He felt both twins stiffen their bodies when he picked them up but at least they allowed him to hold them even if it was only a few seconds. Eddie took the twins to the bathroom and then helped them down the stairs which took a long time. When they walked into the kitchen Daniel was already making pancakes for everyone. "Dad, Darcy and Dakota would like strawberries for breakfast," Eddie told his father. "Ok they will have to sit with someone at the table and they can have pancakes and strawberries for breakfast" Daniel replied. The twins walked over to the table where Jamie was already sitting drinking coffee.

"Morning munchkins" Jamie said to all his siblings earning a groan from Eddie. "Ok, who would you like to sit with, me or Jamie?" Eddie asked the twins. Darcy peeked at Jamie and then looked at Eddie, she was unsure of both but pointed to Jamie. Dakota always let Darcy pick first as he could take care of himself better the she could. Dakota had a smile on his face though because he liked Eddie and making funny faces with him. Eddie smiled down at Dakota who pulled a funny face that he had seen Eddie make yesterday causing Eddie to laugh.

Eddie walked Darcy over to Jamie before taking his seat and lifting Dakota on his lap. Daniel brought two plates of food out with pancakes, strawberries and banana cut up on it. He also put a little bit of ice cream on the side for the twins to try. Mitchell walked out with a huge plate of pancakes and a bowl of fruit for everyone and put it in the middle of the table so everyone could serve themselves. Darcy poked the ice cream before whispering "cold". "Yeah, it's cold want to eat some?" Eddie asked his sister and Darcy shook her head no. Dakota leaned forward and licked the ice cream. He smiled at how cold it felt on his tongue before giggling.

Darcy snapped her eyes to Dakota to see what he was giggling about and saw him licking the cold thing she also had on her plate. Darcy did the same thing and she liked the taste just not how cold it was screwing up her face and shaking her head no. "Cold" she repeated louder. "You don't like the ice cream princess?" Daniel asked his daughter. "Yummy, too cold," she told her father while smiling at Daniel. "It is cold" Daniel replied. The twins finished their breakfast only eating half of the food on their plates. They left mostly the pancakes, it seemed they liked fruit. Dakota ate all his ice cream but Darcy didn't like the cold on her tongue.

Once breakfast was finished, Daniel left the twins with Jamie and Mitchell so he could go and buy car seats to install in his car, he was then going to take the twins to buy booster seats for the dining room and let them pick some toys and bedding for their room. He thought it was best the twins share a room to start with. They would get the large guest room upstairs which was used by his parents. He wanted them close to him in case they needed him in the middle of the night.
