Chapter 28

When the nurses come back, I help them bathe the twins and feed them. I ask every question I can think of about how to take care of them as they get older, but I don’t want to seem too eager either.

“Luna, you must feel better.” The nurse smiles while she shows me the best technique to burp Andreas.

“Yeah, a little. It must have been the banana I ate yesterday.” I smile gratefully. “I just want to make sure I’m prepared for when I’m able to do more of this myself. I didn’t really have any resources to learn about all this before they were born.”

“Well, we will always be available if you need us.” The nurse sets Andreas in his bassinet first, then Maya. The other nurse hands me a small cup full of pills and puts checkmarks in the folder on the nightstand. “Try to get some sleep, Luna. The kitchen will bring hot cereal up for you in the morning. Mrs. Miller is going to bring it herself.”

“Oh, that would be awesome.” I nod happily. “Thank you again for your help. Have a good night.”
