“Jack Bassam. Get your lazy ass up and go get the kids dressed.” I said as I took the covers off of the man who was only in his boxers.

“I don’t want to get up.” He muttered as he cuddled into his pillow.

“If you don’t get up and get them ready in the next half hour, no sex for the next month.” As soon as the words left my mouth, Jack jumped up to his feet and threw on a pair of jeans before running out of the room to get the kids. I was glad I could do that to him.

Today Jack and I were taking Joella and Noah to Rian and Cass’ house, that way we can go shopping for their third birthday party, which is being held tomorrow. I can’t believe that my babies are already turning three, it’s crazy how time flies.
Speaking of Rian, him and I were talking about getting our band back together, just for fun. The only thing was, we needed a bass and lead guitar player. Rian, was still teaching as a History teacher at our old school, and I ended up quiting about a year ago, so I could be a stay-at-home-Dad. I didn’t mind quiting, as much as I loved teaching, I loved my children more.

“Alright babe, there all set to go.” Jack said as he came back into our room, quickly walking over to our closet and putting on a shirt, even if I prefered him without one. “One thing though. I got Noah to eat, but Joella is being a little diva and won’t eat for me.” He sighed. I find it funny that Jack could handle Noah, but never Joella.

“Don’t worry babe. I got her.” I said as I placed a quick peck on his lips and left the bedroom. I walked down the hall and made my way to the kitchen where I saw Joella sitting in her highchair, giving her little attitude by crossing her arms. “Joella May. You better pick up that spoon and eat right this minute, young lady.” I said as I walked over to her.

“Daddy!” She said as she made grabby hands at me.

“No. I’m not picking you up till you eat your food.” I crossed my arms. She understood what I said and picked up her spoon, and started eating the food Jack put out for her. I walked into the living room, looking for my son, but couldn’t find him anywhere. “Jack! Where the hell is Noah?!” I looked over the the hallway, just as Jack was turning into the living room.

“Don’t worry babe, I got him.” He chuckled, as I noticed Noah was in his arms. I chuckled as I saw Noah hit Jack’s nose. “Well, that was rude.”

“He gets it from you.” I smirked. Jack laughed and shook his head. I heard a knock on the door and walked over to it. When I opened the door, I saw a woman and a girl who looks to be the age of Joella and Noah. Speaking of Joella, Jack must have let her out of her high chair since she now hugging my leg. I picked her up and smiled at the woman. “May I help you?”

“Holy shit. It’s really you.” She said, looking to be a bit shocked.

“Uh, and you are?” I questioned, very confused now.

“Shit, yeah, sorry. I’m Becca. You’re Alex, right?”

“That’s me, how did you know?”

“I’m your twin sister.” When the words left her mouth, I couldn’t help but give her a strange look.

“Uh, I only have one sibling, my brother Tom.”

“Mom and Dad gave me up for adoption a week after we were born.”

“Um, this is a little strange, but I never heard about you. And I believe I would have known if I had a twin sister. But uh, come on in. I’ll give my parents a quick call.” I moved to the side to let the woman and the little girl who was in her arms, into our house.

“Who’s at the door- Whoa.” Jack said, as he brought Noah back into the living room.

“And just what the hell are you whoa-ing about?” I questioned him.

“The fact that she looks like you. That you look like her. What is going on?”

“Uh, yeah, I wish I could explain. But she said her name is Becca. She came to the door and said she’s my twin sister, and that my parents gave her up for adoption a week after we were born.”

“I think you should go and make a quick call to your Mom. Give me the child.” He said as he walked over to me and used his open arm, the one that wasn’t holding Noah, to take Joella from me.

“Thanks babe. I’ll be back in a few minutes.” I said placing a kiss on his lips and turning to head to our bedroom.

I finished the call up with my Mom, and she told me everything. Becca, was in fact, my twin sister. It took me a few minutes to process everything, but I soon went back out into the living room, where I saw Jack on the floor playing with Joella, Noah, and the little girl Becca brought with her. I looked over to my couch, and saw Becca was sitting on it, laughing at Jack and the kids on the ground. She looked up and her eyes caught mine. She stood up from the couch and took the few steps over to me.

“Well?” She asked.

“You’re my sister.” I spoke softly. Still not fully understanding everything that is happening. To be honest, I was kinda happy to have another family member. So I did what I did best. Brought her into a huge hug. She was shocked at first, but soon hugged me back. When we pulled away, I had a huge smile on my face. “Quick question.” She nodded her head for me to continue. “What made you find me now?”

“I have always knew about you. I have always knew about my real family. But, the reason I wanted to find you, was because I kinda need some help.” She spoke, trailing off at the end.

“Sure, anything. Just tell me what you need.” I spoke.

“Is there anyway you can help me find a place to stay till I get back on my feet? I caught my husband cheating on me, and he kicked me out of my house. I’m planning on getting a divorce with him.”

“You are more than welcome to stay here! We have a extra room, it’s not that big, but it’s something.” I spoke. When the words left my mouth, she threw her arms around me and continued to say ‘thank you’ over and over again.

We spent some time getting to know each other, and we were now sitting on the couch. Jack was still on the ground playing with the kids, not having a care in the world. He likes spending as much time with them as he can before he has to leave for tour, he has been touring a lot lately, and it’s really taken a toll on both me and the kids.
I felt my hand being picked up, and I looked in front of me and saw the little girl that Becca brought with her, grabbed my hand and was playing with it.

“And who are you, cutie.” I said as I leaned forward and smiled at her.

“Lexi!” She said with a giggle. I looked over to Becca and gave her a questioning look.

“What? Am I not allowed to name my daughter after my twin?” She asked with a amused look.

“Oh, so she is your daughter. Cute. How old is she?” I asked with a smile.

“She’s five. And my whole world.” Becca replied as she picked up the little girl who walked over in front of her, and started placing kisses all over her face. “So who are those three on the ground over there?”

“Kids. Come here.” I said as I held out my hands, making grabby hands at my children, as that always seemed to work. Joella giggled as she ran over to me and basically threw herself into my arms as I picked her up and put her on my lap. Jack chuckled and brought Noah over, sitting next to me and keeping him on his lap. “Becca. This little cutie right here is my daughter Joella. This other little cutie is my son Noah. And this big idiot is my boyfriend, Jack.” I said, as I pointed to each of them.

“Hey! I may be a idiot, but you love me!” Jack defended himself.

“Yeah, I do.” I said with a goofy grin as I looked over to him. He placed a kiss on my lips and I turned back around to look at Becca.

“Well, I now know who my new favorite couple in the world is.” She said with a small laugh.

“Oh, by the way Becca. Welcome to the family.” I said with a smile. Which she gladly returned.
