She was trying to study and figure out just how to be a combination of a good forensic scientist and detective as she knocked on her cousin's apartment. "Alice, are you in there are you busy?" she asked. Alice Seraphim

Alice's near toddlers needed a lot of watching; at least she wasn't working all the late nights on cases but there was Lucas' family to keep an eye on the little darlings. She heard Gwen while she was bathing them ready for bedtime. That didn't mean they'd go to sleep rightaway but the warm bath did help the process along. "Give me a moment" she called back and wrapped up the twins in towels. They'd gotten wet and soapy enough and scooped them up to leave them sitting on the sofa. Then she answered the door. "Hello Gwen. It should be bedtime soon for these little darlings so not too busy now" she replied with a smile. Gwen Roberts

"Hands full I see," she said as she took a second and made sure that she was out of the way. "I thought we could just talk and maybe just discuss life and things like that but it might be a little harder with kids," still she was not giving up quite yet. Alice Seraphim

The babies were quick to untangle themselves before Alice could get back to them. When they seen Gwen they got excited. Alice then replied “we can still do that. It’s near their bedtime”. So a quick towel drying followed on each child before they got fully mobile. Once that happened they’d be hard to stop. “Can you keep them occupied while I get the diapers and baby grows?” she asked. This would be easier with two people. Gwen Roberts

"Alice!" she said as she spotted her and waved a little more excited than she should. "I thought that we could do a little girl talk and after that maybe even have some food delivered in or something like that if you want and we could also maybe let me buy the kids a stem type of toy." "Of course," she said. "I think that should be simple enough for me to be able to handle." Alice Seraphim

Gwen did have a suggestion as she kept the babies attention occupied. So returning with diapers and the baby grows she replied "what do you want to order in? I don't see an issue with getting them a toy either". Aurora was the wriggler as it took the both of them to distract her and put on the diaper. Ayden was more chilled out and easy to deal with. Then once the babies were dressed and placed on the floor Alice got her phone out. Perhaps time with the babies might get Gwen in the mood to add to the Roberts clan. Right now two felt like all she could deal with but hopefully before too long the twins would be ready to go to bed. Gwen Roberts

She was careful when it came to handling the kids for they were not hers and she did not want to do anything too bad that would cause them to scream out as if they were being harmed. "So are you coming around to the whole idea of mother hood now that your children are a few weeks older?" Alice Seraphim

Aurora and Ayden were good babies; curious but they worked to their own daily timetable. So Alice and Lucas lacked sleep at times but she was more in tune with being a mother. “It felt strange at first but we got used to it. It’s only the start of the journey but it’ll be a learning experience” she replied with a little happy smile. They were looking up at the both of them as she asked “how does Chinese takeout sound?” Gwen Roberts

She thought that watching a mini thing grow up had to be a certain way but it made her feel good. "Chinese take out is good by me if it is good by you," she said. She thought that if someone could do their job and still have a family that took a lot of credit. Alice Seraphim

It really took two people to look after a baby. Two miniature people needed an extended family to help them out but so far they coped. “I’ll ring them up now” Alice replied. So phoning the closest outlet she placed their orders. So while their mother was on the phone Ayden and Aurora double teamed Gwen as they crawled over to her and tried to stand up. It wouldn’t just be a girls night as these little ones looked far from going to sleep. Gwen Roberts

She nodded as she listened but she still had no idea how Alice did it but she knew that she had heard that women were very strong so maybe this was an example of that. "Well I thought if yo wanted and if you need we could take the babies out and just talk. I do not know what all goes into going into being a parent and working but I thought you should not do it by yourself." As they got on her she looked at them. "This is a lot but at least they are cute as can be." Alice Seraphim

She’d just finished placing the order and was told it would be thirty minutes until it was delivered. It might be slightly earlier or later but it wouldn’t matter. “We’ll be fine right here Gwen. Aurora and Ayden will go to sleep eventually and Lucas does give me a lot of help” she softly replied taking Aurora of Gwen so she’d only have one bathed, changed and curious baby to deal with. Ayden was taking after his sister and while it was unlikely he’d have remembered her from the party he liked being cuddled all the same. “Extra help is also appreciated. So is company and they are indeed very cute” she added as Aurora got comfortable and played with the end of her hair in a familiar way. She wasn’t pulling it but touching was enough. “It was a shock when twins were confirmed but and they look nothing like me. They take a lot from Lucas and he’s great with them”. Gwen Roberts

"I know that I have not seen much but from the little bit that i have seen you guys seem to be adjusting to having more than one kid pretty good and working still too. That is a strength that most people still do not know but if you ever need a hand don't forget I can help if you need or want." Alice Seraphim

As Aurora started to make happy noises Alice gave her a smile. “Gwen it took me a while to figure out life and a lot happened in a short time. Which led here and our children” she replied. “I didn’t grow up in a normal way but Lucas makes everything worthwhile. You’re welcome anytime you want to call in and if you want to help I’d appreciate it”. She liked company too and being back at work was good for her state of mind. “So how is your training going?” she posed. She was curious how Gwen was getting on. Gwen Roberts

She did not mind this but the overall idea of being a parent was a little tough one to swallow as she heard Alice. "So far I think it's good and it's also been simple so far which I find works out better for me. I know that once I truly get into the field it will not be easy as training but that does excite me."
