In the morning, Leo finished the morning duties and then he entered the Daddy mode, and decided to go and check on the babies, only when he was sure that they were still sleeping did he calm down. He then headed to check on his eldest and found that she was cuddling Snow.
Leo chuckled and walked up to her, and said, "Little one, don't you have to go to school today?"
Lily looked at him through squinted eyes and said, "Baba, why are you so cruel to now? The young ones have just ca ho and you want to head to school."
Leo sighed and said, "Fine, you can take another day off, but tomorrow, you will go to the school."
Lily nodded and then went back to sleep. Just then an alarm rang on his smart watch. Leo headed to check the little ones, the alarm was sent from Alpha, who was watching the children. When he ca to room, he found that Julian was awake and he was making a ruckus.
Leo approached him and Alpha said, "Sir, Young Master Julian has relieved himself."
Leo nodded, and then he picked up the child in his arms before he coaxed him to calm down and then sighed before he remarked, "Kid, you sure are stinky."
He brought Julian to the side board and changed his diaper and then, used a baby friendly powder and on his butt and redressed the child in a fresh diaper. Then he brought him to the cradle and turned to see that Elena has woken up as well. She had the sa trouble going on, Leo quickly handled her and then found that Julian was ready to cry from hunger.
Leo sighed and said, "Alpha, double ti on the bottle prep please."
Alpha nodded and quickly prepared the bottles for the children to drink, but how was Leo going to feed them, that was the problem. Leo held Elena in his left arm and Julian in his right. He rocked them to calm down and said, "Alpha, on ."
Alpha was holding the milk bottles as he calmly followed Leo out of the room, Leo knew that not everything could be done alone and so he decided to enlist the help of another pro at the ga, Snow Cardinal.
Snow heard the shallow thumping sounds and raised her head, and she saw Leo holding the two anxious babies. She smiled and said, "They are in sync again?"
Leo nodded, this had happened a few more tis in the past when they were staying in the post-natal care ward. Snow sat up and said, "Bring Julian here, Elle doesn't like holding her in the morning."
Leo smiled and handed Julian over and Alpha stepped up to give the bottle to Snow and Leo. Lily saw this and she woke up as well, she was excited to see her little siblings feeding from the bottles and she asked, "Ma, did I also drink milk like this?"
Snow smiled at her and said, "Yes, baby. All children have milk like this."
Lily beca curious to watch them, and the two children were very calm throughout the process, and Leo said, "What are you looking at so eagerly little goblin? Today you didn't even accompany Baba for the running."
Lily smiled sheepishly and said, "Baba, when I woke up in Ma's arms, I was surprised and decided to take a day off, after all, I have to be loving towards my Ma as well. No?"
The two elders smiled at her excuse. This little one was just feeling sleepy and used her silver tongue to cover the facts up. After feeding the children, Leo made breakfast for Snow and Lily, Anastasia had left ho to handle things at the foundation. Now with the reputation of the Cardinal family, many people have ca forward to help the weak and the poor.
They were very busy, and so she had left ho early deciding that she would eat at the office cafeteria. Fragrance had gone out to handle a few pro bono cases related to property disputes and stuff. She had even asked Leo to give her a special robot to serve as her assistant.
...
In the noon, Leo taught Lily so Piano songs, although she had improved a lot she still loved to play the instrunt with Symphony and the two actually have developed a rivalry, and would participate in competitions to win places.
The two infants were resting in the stroller and Snow was watching them with Beta standing on the side silently. This robot had grown a lot and she knew that the only person in the house who liked to chatter with her was Lily and the rest were calm and didn't like to be too energetic so she had adjusted her behavior to fit everyone else's preference.
After a few minutes, Snow said, "Leo, the sun is bright today, shall we take them to the backyard. The doctor said that so sunlight would do them good. Winter babies are prone to catching cold and lung ailnts."
Leo nodded and said, "Yes, we shall go. Lily has almost finished her song."
Lily finished the song and then she hopped over to Snow. Leo pushed the twin stroller outside slowly, and Lily followed while holding Snow's hand. The lady said, "Beta, can you bring over a few chairs for us please?"
Beta nodded and replied, "Right away, Madam."
...
The family sat in the backyard, and Leo looked at the two little ones who were basking under the sunlight, but to make sure that they were not exposed too much, Leo had used the tinted shade of the stroller, and Snow asked, "We ought to call over Elvin and Cherry."
Leo raised his brow and asked, "What for?"
Snow shrugged and replied, "To host a small welco party for the young ones."
Leo nodded and wanted to say sothing when Lily said, "Ma, Aunt Marian is also in town with Uncle Gerrard."
Snow was surprised and said, "Thank you for reminding darling, you saved . If I forget calling her, that woman would not spare at all."
Lily giggled and said, "Don't worry, I will save you. Aunt Marian loves the most."
Leo sighed and said, "I have no idea how that lady got my little padded jacket around her arm now."
Lily walked up to him and hugged him as she said, "Baba, I love you the most. However, you only taught that we should return love with love."
Leo nodded and said, "Fine, call her over, I will be kind and not fight her, however, she is not claiming to be the godmother of our little Elena. Fragrance is in the line. She had already warned to settle this matter. Julian will have to settle with Marian."
Snow chuckled and said, "Is that pity in your voice?"
Leo sighed and remarked, "I only hope that my son doesn't grow up to be as ostentatious as Marian, the rest is fine. Also, her husband Gerrard, what does he do?"
Snow shrugged and replied, "I have no idea, never asked her."
Leo thought for a bit and replied, "I shall run a back check on the guy, as I don't have any idea who he is, and I feel a little uneasy about letting him inside the house."
Snow nodded calmly, and said, "I don't mind that you wish to check the guy but do it discreetly. We can hold the gathering on the coming weekend, we will have enough ti."
Leo nodded, and then he looked at Elena who was gazing at him from her stroller and he smiled as he said, "Are you wonder what are we talking about, my darling? How about I let Big Sister tell you about it?"
The two children were still laying in the stroller but Lily was standing between Leo's legs and the young man was dotingly brushing her hair. He said, "Lily, go on, tell your younger siblings what we are talking about."
Lily began to chat with the two kids, and they would coo from ti to ti as if they understood everything. Leo and Snow also joined Lily and the atmosphere of the family was very harmonic.
...
Leo took it upon himself to tend to the children and let Snow rest as much as she could. The lady had an operation and for the coming six months she was told to rest as much as she could and not exerting pressure on her core.
Leo changed the diapers, fed the kids every three hours, and he also told them stories and various lullabies. Initially, Lily was envious because she never heard Leo sing to her when she was an infant, but Leo fulfilled all her wishes, every night he would hold the eldest in his arms like she was a koala and sing to her gently to put her to bed.
Lily patted his shoulder when he finished putting Elena and Julian to sleep tonight and said, "Baba, you have done good to fulfill your duties, I bestow you with a star."
*Ping: Host, you daughter has bestowed you with a star. Reward:...*
