"Morning Mike," I smiled at Mike as he walked into the kitchen, his hair all over the place, and he looked really tired. He grunted a response before plopping down at the table. Ty giggled from his spot in his little swing thingie, moving his arm up and down like he was trying to wave at Mike.

"Don't bother Daddy," I smiled at him, "He's grumpy in the morning."

Demon walked into the room, sniffing the air, before rubbing himself against my legs and whimpering. "Okay, you have a choice," I smiled at Mike, "You can feed Ty or Demon."

"I'll feed Demon... I don't think I'm awake enough to feed Ty properly. I'll make a bigger mess than he will," Mike replied, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. I giggled and kissed him softly as he stood up, before I went to feed Ty some breakfast.

"Here we go Ty," I smiled, picking him up before sitting down at the table, feeding him his bottle. Mike poured some food into the big bowl for the dogs, chuckling as Cash came running in as soon as he heard the food hit the bowl. Mike plopped down at the table again and said, "Where's Mina?"

"Still asleep," I replied, "She was up for a while last night. It took me forever to get her to fall asleep."

"Poor baby," Mike smiled, "I'll go check on her."

"Hey baby," I smiled at Mina as she lay in her crib, chewing on her Simba's tail. I peered down at her and she looked up at me, smiling a tiny bit. They were both starting to learn how to smile now, only slightly. I picked her up, laughing as she held onto her Simba's tail as I carried her downstairs.

"There's my girl," Benji smiled, standing up and giving her a kiss on the forehead, "How're you?"

Mina made some random noise and I giggled. "Well, there's your answer Benj," I smiled, kissing him gently, "I'm gonna get her some breakfast."

"Morning baby," Chester smiled at me, leaning down and kissing me softly, "How do you feel?"

"Good," I smiled, sitting up slightly, "What smells so good?"

"Benji and Mike made breakfast," Chester replied, "Wanna go eat?"

"Yes," I nodded, "I'm starved."

"Okay," he smiled, "I'm hungry too."

We got up and went downstairs, and into the kitchen where Benji and Mike were finishing up breakfast. Mina and Ty were in the playpen together, just laying there and looking around at everything.

"Food," I smiled, peering over Benji's shoulder at the pancakes he was making, "I'm starved. Can we put chocolate chips in them?"

"Sure," Benji laughed, "Get them for me."

I grinned and dug around in one of the cabinets, trying to find the chocolate chips. "Success!" I grinned, pulling them out and handing the bag to Benji.

After breakfast, Benji and Mike took the twins to the mall for a while, just to get out of the house. I looked through all the DVD's Mike and Chester had, trying to decide on one to watch. I came across a Linkin Park one, called 'Live In Texas.'

"Hey Chester?" I smiled, taking the DVD out, "How come I was never told about this new DVD?"

"What new DVD?" he asked, poking his head around the corner from the laundry room, "Ooooh THAT new DVD. Well. We haven't released it yet. That's why."

"Ohhh fair enough," I smiled, "I'm gonna watch it."

"Knock yourself out," Chester called back, "I'm stuck on laundry duty."

*Benji*

"What store should we go in first?" I smiled, walking alongside Mike as he pushed the twins in their double stroller. We'd gotten a lot of people asking to see them and telling us how cute they were and stuff. Which was nice.

"The music store," Mike smiled, "We should get these two listening to good music at a young age."

"Like they're gonna understand it anyways," I laughed, "But okay. They need some Rancid in their lives early."

"Damn right they do," Mike agreed, heading towards the record store.
