Closer to fine.

There came a time when Alison had simply had enough of winter in Japan. She wanted to be outside with the grass under her feet warmed by the sun. But, it was not to be. She woke to a snow flurry and the day only got colder as it wore on

Longshot eventually got to come inside from his training lessons. His butt was possibly sore and blue. It was cold outside. Enough that he eventually noticed. Most likely after he had emerged from a snow drift.

"Tadaima!" he called out from the entry hall as he kicked off his boots. They hit the stone tile floor with solid thunks. He wiggled his toes a little to warm them up.

"We're in here, sweetheart." Alison managed to call to him between giggles. If she'd know that teaching the little ones hand-eye coordination could bo so much fun, she'd have started sooner.

Aiden was giggling wildly and waving chubby arms in the air as he grabbed at a butterfly that floated juuuust out of his reach. Hana discovered a bright blue one on her big toe and was carefully trying to stick her foot in her mouth. Alison watched for the moment to move the illusion out of slobber range.

The Mojoworlder softly padded into the living room. He grinned a little at the scene in front of him.

"Havin' fun without me, I see." He made his way over to settle down beside Alison. He gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Only a little," Alison grinned and kept her eyes on Hana. "Your daughter is being all kinds of sneaky trying to eat my butterflies."

Just as the butterfly was about to be shoved into the baby's mouth, it flitted away. Hana gave an annoyed huff for a second before a pair of red and yellow butterflies moving around her head caught her eye. Then, she was grabbing again.

Aiden lost sight of his butterflies for a moment when his Daddy's voice distracted him. He cooed happily and smiled before returning to the butterfly hunt.

Lack of boobs did not bother Aiden. His Daddy's chest was a very comfy place to be as far as he was concerned. A biiiig yawn interrupted the last of his giggles. He had a big day. Mommy made blinky butterflies and Daddy made him fly! He snuggled in close and rubbed his face against Daddy's shirt.

"Looks like you wore the other little bean out, Daddy," Alison murmured. She smiled softly as she watched Aiden's eyelids slowly close.

"Well, he has to sleep sometime. I got me a butt massage comin'. Also, I have more energy than two babies combined." He slept less for one thing. Hopefully, the babies would pick up Alison's sleeping habits.

He rocked Aiden gently to make sure the little boy was sound asleep.

[light_in_sound]

"Well, they're still young yet. Wait 'til they're walking and see how much energy they get." Alison was both longing for and dreading the twins learning to walk. She smiled and shook her head. One day.

Aiden yawned again but didn't open his eyes. It was sleepy time. Maybe when he woke up again, Daddy would help him fly some more.

[sonofarize]

"How about we tuck these two in and have some Mommy and Daddy time? With or without butterflies. Your choice." He winked.

Someday, the twins would also sleep longer and get put in their nursery. Longshot kind of looked forward to that day. Not that having them in the bedroom was terrible, but he did want some time alone with Alison. Which was sometimes few and far between with diaper changes and feedings.

"I didn't know my nipples were that funny-looking." He would have to look into ways of making them not be so laughter-inducing. Maybe he could cover them with electrical tape until he fixed that.

[light_in_sound]

"They aren't," Alison giggled. She shook her head and kissed his cheek softly. "Well, not normally. If they had babies attached to them, then they might be funny looking. Otherwise, I think they're pretty darn sexy."

[sonofarize]

"Attached? The twins have that much suction?" The mental image of babies hanging off his nipples was actually horrifying. He stared at the ceiling and blinked a lot.

"They get that lung power from you," he muttered distractedly.

[light_in_sound]

It was unstoppable. Alison started to laugh and there was nothing she could do about it. The shock and outrage in his voice was too priceless. The mental image that came with it was even better.

There were tears in her eyes by the time she finally calmed down enough to speak. "Not... not attached. Not like that. I just meant, if they were trying to nurse from you..."

And there she went again. Off on another giggle streak.
