Little Meatball and Little Pepper

Althea cradled her babies in her arms, her eyes filled with warmth and love. 

She watched all their movements closely, every twitch of their fingers, every toothless grin they made, every sound they uttered… all imprinted into memory.

She felt so very happy and so blessed at the moment. 

However, she soon realized the differences in her babies. 

She had seen newborns before, but her babies seemed like they were a few months old already? They not only looked much fuller than newborns, they were already able to move more, and express themselves a little more.

…should she be worried?

However, while a little concerned, she told herself that as long as they were healthy, that was all that mattered in the end. 

"My lovely babies." She said softly, leaning down and smooching their soft chubby cheeks.
