Age of Gears and Rust

Tick Tock in a Clock

I shake myself out of my thoughts and run towards the hosipital we have here. It's very small, about the size of a house, and is very cool and cozy inside, being as it is Summer. I barge into the room silently where Milo, Vale, and their donor mother, Louissia are and I go to the side of the bed where Luissia lays.

"Hello, Lou." I say with a grin, taking her hand. I always knew that I was mature for my age so I speak as if I were an adult but act like a child, but when it comes to moments like this? I'm all out serious and mature again.

"I'm doing the right thing, aren't I? Giving your brother these babies?" she asked me in a daze, I knew that she was under medication for the pain so she might not know what she was saying but I always wondered this myself. Now I knew.

"Lou, you can have a relationship with these twins, it is allowed, and you said yourself that you don't want any kids." I told her seriously. She nodded and the nurse told her to push. She did and when Lou looked back at me, her face was a deep red.

"I really do hate the thought of having a kid." she said and tried to grin but then the nurse told her to push once more, she could see the crown of a head. I looked at Vale and Milo, both of them looked like they may faint. Then Baby One was out!

"A girl." he told us and took the baby over to a seperate room to wash him up. Lou grinned but it dissapeared quickly when she had to push again. The next baby's crown could be seen. Louissa's screams could be heard through the villiage as the next baby came out. The boy nurse from eariler came back with the girl and took the new one into his arms. He went to wash up the new one, handing Lou the girl, and came back soon after and handed her the new baby. "A boy." He told her. She grinned down at them.

"Well aren't you two the cutest things ever." She grinned and then look at me. "But maybe not as cute as the beauty sitting next to me." I had forgotten that Lou was there when I was born... She was about my age, fifteen, when she saw me born. Lou winked at me before turning her head to Milo and Vale, giving them each a baby to hold. They were both crying with joy and looking at each other.

Milo looked to me and then to Lou and then back to his husband. "What should we name them?" Milo asks.

Lou shakes her head. "I don't want to name them, it's up to the three of you."

"I think he should be named Angus." Milo says, looking to the baby boy. "He has Valentine's red hair and it seems to fit him."

"Hello there, Angus." I said and poked the baby boy's nose. I smiled and then turned to Vale and the baby girl.

"I've always loved the name Iris, you know. What about Isis? It has a pretty ring to it." Vale says and turns to Milo for his opinion.

"Angus and Isis, I love it." Milo says with a dreamy look in his eyes and then the look turns to loving as he turns to Vale and kisses him, their babies in their arms. I can't help but hope that one day I may find someone of my own to love and care for. I've never been the girl a boy would like. I wear boy's clothes, I hate the dresses the girls are forced to wear, I love to climb about the clock towers, and I love to read and to invent things. I suppose I'm just weird like that.

"Come on, let's let Angus, Isis, and Lou sleep." Vale says and he passes the babys to their birth mother. She smiles at them and soon falls asleep with them in her arms.

~*~ Four Months Later ~*~

The babies are awake and crying once more. I got up and began to trudge to their room since Milo and Vale had gone out for the night with some friends and they were going to stay at an Inn afterwards since their friends were so far away...
