Jess rolled her eyes. "I would hope that you couldn't help. I would fear for your gender." She took thought for a moment before finally getting an idea. She situated Aiden, letting him start eating before looking up to her husband. "Alright, now give me Gwen."

Peter complied, not exactly sure where to look. He was tempted to leave the room, but figured that that would reflect poorly, and he looked down at the floor tiles while Aiden filled up.

"Thank you." She situated her other arm so Gwen was propped up against while she ate. A few minutes, though, and her arms were getting tired. "Peter, do me a favor? Grab some of the extra pillows over there and prop them up under my elbows. I'm going a bit numb." She noticed his shy attitude and rolled her eyes with a grin. "Peter, it's not as though you've never seen my breasts before." He had doe more than see them as a matter of fact.

Peter grinned slightly. No, it certainly wasn't. "I don't stop and stare at them, though," he mumbled, getting the pillows and shoving them under her arms. "Besides, they're eating," he said, trying to retain some sort of dignity.

Jess rolled her eyes again, chuckling quietly to herself. "Alright then. You be a proper gentleman then. Can you at least bring the mother of your children a cup of tea?" She batted her eyelashes at him with a cute little pout. "Giving birth makes one thirsty. Probably from all the screaming and sweating and the like."

"I'll get your tea," answered Peter. "Opening door in 3, 2, 1," he counted, before exiting and looking at his parents. "Where do I get tea?"

Michael, who had already gotten himself a cup, pointed behind his shoulder at a small snack counter where a bored looking teenage witch was filing her nails. "Right back there. Need money?"

Peter shook his head, digging a few Knuts out of his pocket. "I'll have two teas. And a packet of crackers, please. Actually, make that two." he added, as his stomach let out an audible grumble.

The girl nodded boredly, absentmindedly flicking her wand to fill his order as she read her Teen Witch Weekly from behind the counter.

A few minutes later, Peter came in again, setting a cup of tea on Jess's bedside table. "There's some crackers, too, if you want them," he told her, taking a long drink from his own cup and setting it down, half-empty. Gwen and Aiden, meanwhile, eyed each other wearily, both quite full. And after a few moments of quiet staring, they curled up against Jess's pillows and fell asleep.

Jess fixed herself, making sure that both her babies were sleeping securely. "Thanks." She looked at her cup of tea, then at Peter, then at the children resting in her arms. "Mind taking one for me?"

Peter took Aiden, who was closer to him, and the baby shifted, frowned lightly in his sleep, and fell back into a restful slumber. "Wow," Peter said, tentatively touching one of Aiden's fine hairs. "We're parents."

Jess nodded, taking her cup of tea and sipping on it as Gwen made a sleepy little noise. "Finally caught on, have you?" She set her tea down and gently stroked Gwen's cheek, smiling as she squirmed a little in her arms.

Peter said nothing, absorbed in the ridiculous tininess of Aiden's fingers. And then, at the top of each finger, a barely visible fingernail. It was laughable. "When do we get to take them home?"

Jess shrugged. "I'm not exactly the utmost medical authority, but I would assume in a day or so." She leaned back slightly, letting herself rest with Gwen against the pillows. She shut her eyes peacefully, sighing dreamily as she held her daughter. "It's funny..."
