Nicole was a great little baby, he knew that, but she was also…a baby. Which meant her focus moved a lot and she was surrounded by colorful furniture and other baby things. All of them went to Mackenzie’s - the baby section- and they had to separate to get everything. Since Rooster had Nicole, they all decided he shouldn’t have anything too big or heavy on his cart.

So what was he going to get?

Decoration,of course.

He smiles at Nicole who was just pointing at things, “Jojo!” she says while pointing to a stuffed dog toy on the top shelf. He turns his eyes to it and blinks…it does look a lot like Jolene, even the pink nose.

“It looks like her,huh?” Nicole was a good baby, but he noticed she’d get excited a lot by whatever was surrounding her. The seat was good to keep her still,but that didn’t mean she wasn’t going to move her torso to look around even more. He doesn’t want to freak out, because he’s a good father who knows that babies’ bodies can be a bit flexible.

But he was freaking out. A little.

“Nikki,Nikki,God,” he cups her shoulder and moves her back,so she’s still on the seat. Those huge blinking eyes look up at him and she grins, kicking her little legs back and forth, “Oh you,you.” he shakes his finger in front of her face, then boops her nose, “You are just like your mother, making me lose my mind and making me worry.” he kisses the top of her head as he rolls forward on the aisle.

He has a few things inside, honestly Beatrice had more willpower than he had because everything was so tempting he had to hold himself for a few seconds and remember the budget. But that was a pretty fish lamp…he got the fish lamp, “And it fits the colors and everything.” he gives himself an excuse, then clears his throat, “Anyway, we need uh…let’s see. Pillows, blankets,” he mumbles the rest to himself as he checks the phone, while Nicole is busy looking around again.

Nikki is actually looking at something else, something far. “AAA!” the sudden squeal makes him jump on the spot, then look down at Nikki, who was pointing her little hand to the left, “Dada!” she moves more, “Woosh!”

“Woosh?” that he didn’t know, “...what is woosh?”

“Woosh!”

Bradley purses his lips, leaning on the cart a bit to get on her eye level and hopefully check what she was pointing at. There were a lot of boxes in his vision so he squinted his eyes in hopes to see it better, “Nikki,dada doesn’t know what you mean.” she repeats the ‘woosh’ sound and he tries to wrack his brain for any moments she said that sound. He taps his finger on the handle as he recollects his memories.

Then it lands on him. Beatrice was showing Nicole his own fighter jet toy and she made the ‘woosh’ while moving it above Nikki’s head, “Oh,oh! Oh you saw a jet,did you?’ again,one more woosh, “Where is it? I kinda wanna see it too, what do the kids nowadays get?”

He thinks that changing course might not be useful, but he’s curious and this is a great time to spend with Nikki, so he just turns the cart towards the ‘grown kids’ toys area. There were a lot of boys there, a lot of them, too many and he had to wait until a few of them stopped playing with their still latched NERF guns to move forward.

“Woosh!”

“Oh, getting warmer?” from the way she was wriggling on the seat,yes, “Alright,” he looked around a bit, checking Nicole's reaction in hopes he found what she was talking about…until it happened. His daughter squealed happily, pointing up the shelf, right above his head, “Oh, is this is?” she giggles as Rooster stretches his arm to grab a huge box.

He has to let go of the cart to hold it close, whistling low when he sees the cover, “...damn this is big.” it was a fighter jet toy, the ones that you can build and keep it safe in your office so no one touches and he had to admit, it looked very realistic. He turns the box for Nicole to see, “Is this the woosh?’

“Woosh!”

“I take that as a yes.” he smiles, his eyes turning down to the box as he stares at it, everything was very very,very similar. Hell it even had nicks and bits to the outside, like it was old. He blinks while paying more attention…why did Nikki want this? It’s not that colorful, there was no way she’d be so interested in it…right? But his daughter reached for it and he had to pause, “Baby girl,this is too big and clearly not for babies.”

‘Woosh!”

“Nikki…maybe when you are older,” he pauses, that sentence made him feel cold inside and he was immediately reminded of Maverick’s words.

What if she wants to,one day?

He didn’t need that right now. She’ll turn one year old in a couple months, there’s nothing more going on and he’s going to shove that thing way up there, “I’ll get you something else,” he says when she whines in disappointment, looking back at the fighter jet with her lower lip jutted out in a pout, “Something…baby friendly,besides we are buying stuff for your siblings, so… let’s continue with the list,yea?”

He takes a deep breath, pushing away the thoughts about the future and focusing on the present. "Alright, let's find something else," he says to Nicole, giving her a reassuring smile. "There are plenty of fun toys for you here."

Rooster carefully navigates the cart to the toys more suitable for babies and toddlers. He lets Nicole explore the options, while still in the seat,and she seems to be enjoying herself as she points and reaches for various items. He picks out some soft plush toys and rattles, making sure they are safe for her to play with.

"Look, Nikki," he says, showing her a cute plush giraffe. "How about this one? It's soft and safe for you."

Nicole's eyes light up, and she reaches for the giraffe, making happy cooing sounds. "Giraffe!" she says, trying to grab it.

"That's right, it's a giraffe," Rooster says, handing her the plush toy. "You can play with it all you want."

She happily clutches the giraffe in her little hands, and Rooster can't help but smile at how adorable she looks. He continues to pick out a few more things for the twins, and he’s glad he’s doing it as easily as he hoped, there were less distractions but his brain kept going back to the fighter jet Nicole saw.

She was too young when she was at the base to remember, she doesn’t know and the toy that once belonged to him wasn’t like that. He furrows his brows, chewing his lower lip, ‘...Nikki,” she looks up at him once she’s done playing with the giraffe, “Did you like the uh…woosh?”

“Woosh!”

“Yes, you liked it?” she just babbles a bit, kicking her legs as she looks up at him, “...okay baby girl,listen,” he crouches down to her eye level, “...dada doesn’t want to think about what you might work in.Alright? Especially not that…it’s…dangerous and it’s stressful and,” those light green eyes just stared at him, ‘...and you are a baby…I’m assuming things, that doesn’t mean anything!” he’s talking to himself now and some people are giving him weird looks.

He was still bothered by the thought that Nicole might follow his footsteps.

Rooster takes a deep breath, realizing that he's probably overthinking things. Nicole is just a baby, and it's far too early to be worrying about what she may or may not want to do in the future. He reminds himself that his daughter is an individual with her own interests and passions, and it's essential to support and encourage her in whatever she chooses.

"You know what, Nikki?" Rooster says, his voice softening as he smiles at her. "You can be anything you want to be when you grow up. It doesn't have to be anything like what dada does. You can be a doctor, a teacher, an artist, or anything else that makes you happy."

Nicole babbles happily in response, she has no idea what he’s talking about but she’s happy! Rooster feels a sense of relief wash over him as he realizes that he doesn't need to project his own fears and concerns onto his daughter. Instead, he needs to focus on being the best father he can be and supporting her in all her endeavors.

"Let's find some more toys for you and your siblings, huh?" he says, changing the subject and getting back to their shopping. He picks out some more age-appropriate toys for Nicole and adds a few items to the cart for the twins as well.

Once he’s done for the day, he messages the group chat to ask them where they were before looking up, seeing that the Daggers weren’t that far from him. He blinked, speeding his step when he sees the amount of things they got, “Guys, that’s…so much stuff.”

Phoenix holds up a hand, “Okay, so,” she gestures to the other guys, “We all decided to give the twins something else besides the furniture and I know,you’ll pay for it, but these,” she taps a gift wrapped box, ‘These are from us.

“You guys didn’t have to–”

“I also won the bet!” Payback announces, holding his finger and earning a collective groan from everyone else, “I knew you’d say that, so thanks for making me win 100 bucks,Rooster.”

Rooster’s eyebrow lowered and his face turned to unimpressed, “Are you ever going to stop betting on me and Bea?”

“Never.”

Rooster shakes his head with a sigh, but he’s glad those dumbasses are his friends. He takes a look at the gift-wrapped boxes and smiles gratefully. "Well, thank you all. It means a lot to us that you went above and beyond to help with the nursery and get gifts for the twins."

"Yeah, we wanted to do something special for them," Coyote says, a warm smile on his face. "They're going to have the coolest nursery ever."

Rooster glances at the boxes, "I can't wait to see what's inside," he says. "I'm sure the twins will love whatever you got for them." Nicole babbles a bit “...and for Nikki.”

Bob gives Rooster a playful pat on the back. "Nikki is next on the list.”

“Aa!”

“I think that’s a yes.”

Bea was glad her aunt brought a book she could distract herself with, it was called "Whispers of the Skies." It was a beautifully bound novel, its cover adorned with intricate designs that seemed to dance and shimmer in the light. The title was written in elegant, swirling letters, and as Bea opened the book, the scent of fresh ink and paper wafted up to greet her.

She had never heard about it, but was very intrigued by the very first pages. Her aunt Martha sat by her, reading a book herself but it wasn’t the same type of book that she was enjoying, it seemed like almost a grimorium with a black cover?No,right? Beatrice flicked her gaze from her own book to her aunt, then lowered it to her chest, “What’s that,zia?”

Martha smiles, still looking down, “An old book of mine.”

“Oh.”

“It’s old people stuff,tesoro, don’t worry.”

She didn’t elaborate and Beatrice didn’t either. She just returned to her book and adjusted herself on the bed. She saw the twins again today, nothing really…changed, but it was nice to see those little beans in there. Aurora was a bit more active than Gavin, that’s for sure, but that didn’t mean Gavin was sick…he was just more chill than his sister. “Zia Martha,” her aunt hums, flipping a page, ‘How many twins and triplets are in our family?”

Martha glances up from her book, a thoughtful expression crossing her face. "Oh, quite a few, my dear," she replies, tapping her finger on her chin as she recalls the family history. "Let me see if I can remember them all. There were the triplets on your nonna's side, your grand-uncles, your great-aunt Lucia had triplets, and I had the twins and then the triplets from…my little sister.."

“Hm.”

“What’s the problem?”

She wrings her hands together,dropping the book to her lap, “How…how many of them were preemies? Do you know?”

Martha's face softens with understanding as she looks at Beatrice. "Several of them were born prematurely, tesoro," she says gently. "Your grand-uncles and your great-aunt Lucia were all born prematurely, not to mention some I can’t even recall."

Beatrice's heart sinks a little at the revelation, and she can't help but worry about the possibility of her own twins being born prematurely. "Is it common in our family?" she asks, her voice tinged with concern.

Martha nods, "It seems to be a pattern, yes. But you know, each pregnancy is unique, and there's no way to predict exactly how things will go."

Beatrice takes a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves. She knows Martha is right, but the thought of her babies arriving earlier than expected fills her with anxiety. "I just want them to be healthy and safe," she says softly, her hand instinctively resting on her belly, it was still…looking pregnant, even if they were no longer there.

"They will be, cara mia," Martha reassures her, reaching over to give her niece's hand a reassuring squeeze. "They’ll be fine…you don’t think this is your fault do you?” yes she did, “Oh,tesoro.” her aunt laughs, cupping her face in her hand, “My little cherub, you and your head,hm? When will it stop giving you those thoughts?”

“I-I…I don’t know.”

Martha smiles, kissing her forehead, “You are fine, neither you nor Bradley did anything to make this birth happen sooner. The twins were just eager to be born…may I remind you that you were also a preemie?”

Beatrice blushes slightly, "I know, zia," she says softly, "but it's just... different when it's your own children. I can't help but worry about them."

"I understand, preziosa," Martha says soothingly, her hand gently stroking Beatrice's hair. "It's only natural to worry, especially when it comes to your children. But you and Bradley are doing everything you can to take care of them. They’ll be just fine.”

"I just want them to be okay," she says, her voice filled with emotion.

"And they will be," Martha assures her, her voice firm and confident. "You are a strong, loving mother, and your children are lucky to have you. “ she pauses, holding her index finger and smiling cryptically at Beatrice, “Rooster is on his way.’

“He is? But how–” and as if on cue, there were three knocks at the door. Beatrice and Martha both turn towards it, soon seeing Rooster’s face appear from behind it, body still partially hidden by the door, “Roos!”

“Hi,gorgeous. Hi Martha.”

“Bradley.”

He walks in, Nicole on his arm and the other one was hidden behind his back, “I hope I didn’t interrupt anything.”

Beatrice smiles warmly at Rooster, shaking her head. "No, not at all," she says,”We were just chatting a bit."

“And I was on my way home,just waiting for you.” Martha smiles, kissing Beatrice’s cheek before she could prevent it, then doing the same to Bradley and Nicole, “Au revoir mon amours!” and she blew them a kiss, disappearing from their view immediately.

Both of them blink, “Witch stuff?” he asks.

“Witch stuff,” Bea replies while laughing, “What do you have there?” she asks while tilting her head hoping to sneak a peek from what he was hiding, all the while Nicole happily babbles at her.

"I got something for you," he says, showing the small bouquet to Beatrice - lavender and daisies- and smiling at her, “Felt like giving you some.”

“Oh…Brad.” she smiles, “It’s so pretty.”

“And I know those are your favorites,so…”

“Thank you,” she grins, “Do you mind um,” she pointed to a vase that her aunt had apparently forgotten there. Martha knew too much, “Putting it there?”

Rooster smiles and nods, taking the vase that was conveniently left behind by Martha. He carefully arranges the lavender and daisies into the vase, making sure they look perfect.

"There we go," he says, placing the vase with the bouquet on the bedside table where Beatrice can easily see and smell them. "Now you have a bit of nature's beauty right here."

"It's lovely," she says, reaching out to give his hand a gentle squeeze. "Thank you for brightening up my day."

Rooster leans in and kisses her forehead. "Anything for you," he says, his voice filled with love. "You deserve all the beauty and happiness in the world, especially during this time."

Beatrice blushes, feeling touched by his words “Cheesy. By the way, how was your day with Nicole?" she asks, glancing over at their daughter who is now playing with her toys on the couch, clearly humored by everything around her.

"It was great," Rooster says, his face lighting up. "We had a little adventure at the store, and she was so curious about everything. We almost ended up with a big fighter jet toy, but I managed to convince her that it wasn't the best choice for a baby."

“A fighter jet?”

“Yep.”

Beatrice tries to hold back her smile, “Really?” he hums in agreement, kissing her fingers before holding her hand with both of his, “...and you didn’t get it.”

“No,it’s for 12+, no way I was going to get it for her-” Beatrice gives him a look, then shakes his hand a bit, ‘...maybe when she’s older. Then I’ll give it to her, if she wants. Anyway…how are you? Are you okay?” she gives him a gentle shrug and her smile doesn’t reach her face, “You in any pain?”

Beatrice sighs softly, "I'm okay," she says, giving him a reassuring smile, "just a little tired, that's all."

Rooster frowns slightly, seeing through her attempt to downplay her feelings. He knows her well enough to sense when something is bothering her. "Are you sure you're okay?" he asks gently, "You don't have to pretend with me, you know. I'm here for you."

Beatrice hesitates for a moment, then decides to open up to him. "I guess...I'm just a little anxious about the twins, still" she admits, her voice soft. "I saw them and they look fine but...I wish we could just take them home." and she drops her head on the pillow, “And i was here, thinking about…things and how a lot of the twins in my family are preemies and…I gave myself a headache.”

He hums, kissing her knuckles and giving Nicole a quick look to check on her, “I know,gorgeous…but,it’ll be okay.” he says softly, then looks down at her hand, “We have to be a little patient.”

“Yeah…I guess.” she huffs through her nose, “...anyway, what else did you do today?”

“Oh…well,about that.” he laughs softly, “Um…we might have a new nursery ready by the time you get home.” She blinks at him twice, digesting his words, then widens her eyes before going, “What?”
