She had her camera app open and was taking a picture of him with the small baby. He grinned as he looked back. “I haven’t been doing my job of taking hundreds of photos of you with them have I? this proves I am not the best father.”

Max just watched with a smile on his face as she seemed to be a complete natural when it came to the new found motherhood she now had. As she finished with both he looked up to her face, “That was faster than normal.”“They didn’t want to much this time.” She said with a shoulder shrug. “They as just tired right now.

He waited for her to tell him what was going on in her mind though before he said anything.“Max as much as I want them and I do. I don’t know if I can really handle them.” Deanna said. She looked up to him and he smiled down at her. They were nearing the van and she waited for him to hand her one of the twins and then climb in himself with the other.

Max was watching very closely as his mother kept up closer and closer to the babies when his father would pull her back.“I don’t understand why I can’t hold my grandsons.” She muttered.“Because they are early.” Max said. “They are fine but I want to keep them healthy mom.”“Sure like it is your decision.” She sputtered.
