"Shhh, it's okay sweetheart." I said and stood up, leaning over the table so I could caress her cheek with my fingers before putting the pacifier back in her mouth. "I love you." I said as she looked up at me and sucked on the pacifier again.
"I'm researching where we are going." I said as I sat back down. "You haven't researched already?" He asked as I shook my head. "I haven't had time. I know a little bit from your videos but I need to know more." I said and started typing into my computer.
"Don't do that." Colby said as I scrunched my brow and looked over at him. "What? Why?" I asked as he shrugged. "The whole point of the video is to test your clairvoyance...if you research you have an unfair advantage." He said as Sam hummed from the driver's seat.
"He's right!" He called out as I huffed out a breath. "Fine. I don't know how we'll prove that I didn't research before though." I said and closed my laptop. As soon as I did this Luna started crying.
"What's wrong, love bug?" Colby asked and stood up so he could comfort her. "She probably just wants to be held." I said as he pulled her into his arms. "Little koala." He said as Kat awed.
"I love them so much." She said and pouted her lip out. "I know, I just want to squish them." I said and put my hands on my cheeks as Colby grabbed Luna and held her against his chest.
I would never get over how great of a dad Colby was. He loved our girls more than anything in the world and I was so in love with that.
He would do anything for them.
We ended up driving for a long ass time before we got to the hotel that Kat, Ki, and the twins were going to stay at.
"I'm gonna pump a bunch of bottles, feed them every two hours but if they don't wake up in the middle of the night don't wake them to eat. NEVER wake a sleeping baby." I explained as Sam and Colby started bringing the luggages into the hotel.
"Once they are fed you have to burp them. Just lightly pat their backs and put a towel on your shoulder." I said and got the pumps out so I could get some bottles ready.
"Nova loves her little stuffed owl and Luna loves her blanky. You'll probably have to just hold Luna for most of the night because she loves being held. She'll cry and wake Nova up and when Nova wakes up sh-" I started but was interrupted by Ki laughing.
"You're such. fucking mom." She said as I nodded and looked over at the babies, frowning slightly. "Yeah...it's the first time I'm leaving them..I'm nervous." I said as they smiled at me.
"They're gonna be fine, V. We're like...fifteen minutes away from the Stanley, if anything goes wrong we'll bring them to you." Kat said as I nodded. "Promise?" I asked as she smiled. "Promise." She said as the guys came back.
"Ready to bring them up?" Colby asked as I finished bottling up the first two bottles. "I have to pump a couple more bottles." I said with a sigh. "Okay, we'll bring the girls up in a minute if you guys want to go ahead." Colby said to the others as they nodded. "Take your time." Sam said with a smile as he led the way out.
"You okay, V?" Colby asked as I looked down. "I'm nervous to leave them." I said with a frown. "I know, baby. I know how hard this is going to be for you, but distance will be nice for a night." He said as I chewed my lip.
"We are going to the hotel for more than one night though." I said as he nodded. "Yeah, but we'll see them during the day." He explained and sat next to me, wrapping his arm around me. "Do you think they'll be okay?" I asked and leaned my head on his chest.
"I think they'll be just fine, right girls?" He asked and looked over at the babies. They looked over at us and smiled, kicking their legs out which warmed my heart. "You're right. They'll be okay." I said with a small smile.
Once I was done pumping the bottles we got the girls ready to bring upstairs. It was really hard to leave them but I was grateful that we had such amazing friends that we were leaving them with.
"Bye my sweet girls." I said and held both girls in my arms. They both cooed and looked at me with so much love I felt like my heart was going to explode. "Mommy and Daddy will be back tomorrow, be good for your aunts, okay?" I asked as Colby laughed.
"They don't understand you, V." He aid as I handed them off to him. "Shut up." I said then turned to Kat and Ki. "Call me if anything happens." I said as they nodded. "We will, V. Don't worry." Kat said with a reassuring smile.
We finished saying our goodbyes before getting back into the RV so we could go to the Stanley Hotel. Luckily it was only fifteen minutes away so we got there in no time.
When we pulled into the parking lot I could feel the shiver creep down my spine as an uneasy feeling filled my chest.
It was a feeling that made me even more nervous than I was before.
