Third POV
It’s been three years now since Esmeralda has given birth to Brandon’s twins. She had a set of two boys, Jr, who was born first and Derek, who was born eight seconds later. They are now three years old and walking little trouble makers.
"Ash, could you get Melissa and Nathaniel and bathe them before bed, please," said Esmeralda who she was currently cradling Jr and Derek in her arms to sleep!
"I’m on it. Melissa, Nathaniel. Where are you? Come out; come out where ever you are," yelled Ash for the twins to hear. The twins hidden in the closet was waiting to jump out and scare their daddy when he walked into the room.
"Boo," both Melissa and Nathaniel said at the same time trying to scare their dad who walked near the closet!
"There you are. Come here. Time for a bath," said Ash while trying to get them at the same time.
"Nooooooo, run Nathaniel," yelled Melissa while running out of the room from their dad. The twins ran off but Uncle Brandon catches them just outside the room.
"Where do you think you’re going," asked Brandon while picking them both up?
"Help uncle. Help us," pleaded Melissa hoping Brandon will help.
"Not so fast. Into the tub," responded Brandon while taking them back to the room to their bathtub for a bath. Once Brandon was inside the bathroom, he puts them in the bath that was already waiting for them. Ash was patiently waiting behind the other side of the bathtub to bathe his twins.
"There you guys are. Thanks, Brandon," said Ash while waiting patiently.
"Anytime," responded Brandon before taking his leave with a smile on his face.
Presently…
Ash was bathing the twins, Melissa and Nathaniel, in a nice warm bubble bath. The twins were protesting at first before getting a bath, but Uncle Brandon captures them and put them in the bathtub. Melissa and Nathaniel were upset that their Uncle Brandon deceived them but they got over with it. After fuzzing a bit, the twins settle down in the tub and started to enjoy the warm bubbly bath. They were splashing at each other and got bubbles all over their dad. They kept on splashing until dad gave them something else to play with. At that moment, they are playing with their rubber duckies and their battleship, which was what their dad gave them earlier.
"Die, Die," said Nathaniel while he was holding onto a battleship in one hand and the other he was splashing plastic red darts at the rubber ducks!
"Quack, quack. You can’t kill me. I am just an innocent rubber duck. Look what I can do," said Melissa while squeezing the duck to squirt water out of its beak aiming at Nathaniel’s battleship.
"Oh no! We’ve been hit. Mayday, mayday. We are going down," said Nathaniel while pretending his battleship was sinking. Nathaniel made his ship sink and caused a splatter while making a mess on the bathroom floor.
"Are you guys done playing? You both are turning into raisins," said Ash while trying to dry up the mess Nathaniel has made. Ash begins to laugh at his own comment and began to rinse Melissa off, first.
"Up you go, Melissa. Let’s get you dry," said Ash while extending his arms out to Melissa.
"Noooo. I was about to sink Nathaniel’s other battleship," said Melissa while getting upset.
"Let’s go. Up, up, up," said Ash still with his arms extended out to Melissa to come to him.
"This gives me a chance to shoot down your rubber ducky’s," said Nathaniel while giving an evil laugh. Ash picks her up and wraps a towel around her. Once she was out, Ash began to dry her up and put some clean pajamas on her.
"Don’t you dare sink my ducky’s," yelled Melissa at Nathaniel and giving him the evil eye. Nathaniel just laughed and cared about his role-play.
"You’re next, Nathaniel. Melissa, go to your bed now. Once I’m done with Nathaniel, I will read you guys a bedtime story," said Ash while setting her down before Melissa ran towards her bed.
"Ok, daddy. I love bedtime stories," said Melissa as she yelled out running towards her bed. Then Ash looks towards Nathaniel and grabbed a cup to rinse Nathaniel.
"Ok, Nathaniel. Close your eyes," said Ash. After Ash rinsed Nathaniel, then he held a clean towel to wrap Nathaniel with it.
"Up you go, son," said Ash while waiting for Nathaniel to come out.
"Ok, I’m up. I’m up," said Nathaniel while reaching out. Ash dries him off and also put him some nice clean pajamas.
"So dad, what bedtime story are you going to read to us today," asked Nathaniel?
"Oh, I’ve got a good one, today. Just you wait. It is time for you guys to learn about the Moon Goddess," said Ash. Then Nathaniel ran over to his bed and jumped under his cover, while Melissa is waiting patiently for her story, already in bed, under her covers.
"Sooooo, dad. Is the Moon Goddess like a God on a Moon or something," asked Melissa looking curious.
"You can say something like that," said Ash. Dad pulls up a chair in front of the nightstand and sits down between Melissa and Nathaniel. Both Melissa and Nathaniel have their own Twin size bed with a space between them. They have a nightstand with a lamp on top in the middle of the twin beds.
Then he starts his story.
