Meeting the Grandparents
Chapter 35: Meeting the Grandparents
Aunt May was never this excited in her entire life. Even after all those years of living, she would have never expected this day to come. Right now, she was walking over to Peter and Cindy's apartment with a giant grin on her face.
Why? Simple, she was going to visit her grandchildren for the first time.
Aunt May couldn't believe this day has finally come at last. Throughout her whole entire life, she was worried that her nephew couldn't find someone to settle down with, get married, and have kids. However, her worries changed when Peter introduced her to Cindy. At first, May was a bit skeptical about Cindy, because she never heard of her before. She thought she was just a gold digger. However, as time went on, she eventually discovered what the person Cindy was. She loved him not for the money, but rather for the person. She truly loved Peter for what he is, and Peter loved her too.
And Aunt May couldn't bear to split the two after seeing their love for each other.
After months of their relationship, Aunt May decided that Cindy was the best match for Peter and gave her full support of their relationship. Recently, she got news that Cindy just gave birth to a healthy pair of twins, and she was ecstatic. She couldn't wait to meet them.
And she was not alone on this. Cindy's family shared the same feelings and were on it as well. In fact, they are with her right now on their way to Peter and Cindy's apartment as they planned this visit.
"You excited to meet your grandchildren?" May asked to Albert Sr. and Nari.
"Not as much as you," Nari replied.
"You have no idea," May replied as she recalled the events that led up to this earlier...
(A few days earlier...)
Aunt May was sitting on the couch watching the news. Then her phone ringed and she answered it after seeing Peter's number on the screen.
"Peter?"
"Hey Aunt May."
May let out a smile after hearing her nephew's voice. "So, how's life with Cindy?"
"Perfect. Anyway, I've got something to show you."
May was wondering what Peter was going to show her. After a few seconds of adjusting on Peter's side of the call, she got her answer.
On the screen were baby Andrew and baby Alice. "So...these little bundles of joy are my son and daughter."
"Oh my god...!" May exclaimed in shock.
"Shh," he interrupted her, something he rarely had the nerve to do. "I've just put them to sleep already."
May's expression immediately softened to a wonderous gaze as she noticed the sleeping babies in his arms. "Oh Peter, they're so beautiful! What a blessing." She continued to glance at both Andrew and Alice. "How's Cindy?"
"Rather tired, I guess. She's sleeping now, she deserves a long rest." May nodded sympathetically.
"Yeah. Taking care of twins can tire a person out." May began to examine Andrew and Alice once more. "I would advise you to take these two to bed thought, not that I'm trying to but in or being an interfering aunt already that is."
"You're not their aunt, you're their grandmother," Peter stated, earning a genuinely smile from May. "Anyway, me and Cindy are on maternal leave right now, so we're practically free now. Do you want to visit us and the kids?"
"Sure!"
"Okay then. See you soon May," Peter said. They then said their goodbyes to each other, leaving May in a state of happiness.
"I'm going to be a grandmother!" May thought happily as she danced around the room.
(Now...)
"And that's what happened after I found out," May said. "Was it the same as you two?"
"Something like that," Albert Sr said as he recalled his perspective on the event...
(A few days earlier...)
Albert Sr and Nari were lounging on the couch when suddenly, Nari's smartphone rang. Nari picked up her smartphone and answered it after seeing Cindy's number on the screen.
"Cindy?"
"Hey mom. It's been a while."
"Hey Cindy. How are you doing? Is Peter treating you well?"
"I'm fine mom. Everything is going well with Peter. Anyway, can you get dad and little brother on the screen? I've got something to show you."
"Sure," Nari replied. "Honey, can you get Albert Jr down here?"
"Got it," Albert Sr replied. He then soon left the living room only to return shortly with Albert Jr at his side. "So, what's Cindy going to show us?"
"Yeah. Wonder what sis have to show us," Albert Jr muttered.
After a few moments of adjusting on Cindy's side of the video call, they got their answer. On the screen was Cindy holding baby Andrew and baby Alice. "So...here's my son and daughter," Cindy said as she was holding up both Andrew and Alice.
"Oh my god!" Nari exclaimed in shock.
"No way," Albert Jr said.
"Does that mean..." Albert Sr said but was cut off from Cindy.
"Shh! You're going to wake them up!" Cindy interrupted, which the family replied by closing their mouths. After a few seconds of silence, Cindy said, "Yes. Mom, dad, you're going to be grandparents."
"And I'm the uncle, correct?" Albert Jr asked.
"Yes."
"Wow...never thought I would be an uncle this young. And I'm still in high school nether less."
"Oh my god, they're so cute!" Nari said softly as she glanced at the sleeping twins. "Where's Peter by the way?"
"He's out getting groceries. Believe it or not, he's actually a great cook."
"Really?" Albert Sr asked.
"Yeah. Trust me. You should try his cooking some time."
"Maybe I will."
"Yeah. Anyway, are all of you free this weekend?"
Albert Sr and Nari briefly left the conversation to talk to themselves. After a few seconds, Nari said, "Yeah. Why?"
"Well...do you want to visit me and Peter to meet the children?"
"Of course! Who doesn't want to see their grandchildren?" Nari said.
"Great. Now I'm going to put the twins in their cribs so we're going to cut the call here."
"Okay then. See you this weekend," Albert Sr said
"Yeah. Bye," Cindy said before she cut the call.
(Back to the present...)
"And that's how it happened."
"Wow. That sounds similar to my situation," May said.
"Really?"
"Yeah. Anyway, we're finally here," May said as the group finally found Peter and Cindy's apartment. As the group reached the front door and knocked on it, Peter opened the door, greeting the group.
"Hey there, May, Nari, Albert Sr, and Albert Jr, come on in," Peter said as he let the group in.
As the group enter the living room and settled in on the couch, Cindy came in with the twins in both of arms. As Cindy sat on the couch, everyone's attention was focused on the twins.
"Aww! They're so cute!" May said. "Have you given them their names?"
"Yup. We named the boy Andrew and the girl Alice," Peter said proudly.
"Good names for the kids," Albert Sr said as he was gently holding Andrew's tiny hand. As everyone was playing with Andrew and Alice, they were in wonder of how much they looked like their parents, in which Andrew carried Cindy's hair color and her eyes while Alice carried Peter's hair color and his eyes.
In short, Andrew and Alice were gender bent versions of their parents.
"Wow. It's like I'm looking at Albert Jr when he was a baby," Nari said.
"Really?" Albert Jr asked.
"Yeah. Take a closer look."
As Albert Jr was looking at Andrew, he instantly knew Cindy was right the moment he looked at Andrew for the first time up close. Albert's heart instantly melted as he was looking at Andrew squirming his arms and legs around; he was just so cute. Albert felt like he was going to cry...and he was almost about to as a single tear nearly came out from his eye.
"Albert Jr...are you crying?"
"I'm not," he replied quickly as he wiped his eyes. The entire family chuckled as they saw what happened. "But...I'll admit, the twins are really cute."
"No kidding. Can I hold them?" May asked.
"Sure," Cindy said as she handed Andrew and Alice to May. As May looked at her grandkids for the first time up close, she felt a warmth going through her body. She felt the need to protect and spoil them forever as long as she lived. After a few minutes of playing with Andrew and Alice, May decided to give them to Albert Sr and Nari.
"I think it's your turn now," May said as she handed Alice to Nari and Andrew to Albert Sr.
As Albert Sr and Nari were holding and looking at Andrew and Alice, like May, they felt a warmth going through their bodies. To them, they also felt the need to protect and spoil them rotten. As they were doing that, they felt their little hands touching their faces and their eyes looking at them. At that point, they were reminded of when Cindy and Albert were born. Soon, they handed Andrew and Alice back to Peter and Cindy.
"You know...like what May said earlier...they're really cute," Nari said.
"Yeah...it's like seeing Cindy and Albert Jr as babies once again," Albert Sr said with a smile. "I have a feeling that there may be a dispute over who gets to play with the two in the future."
"What makes you think that?" Peter asked.
"Well...back when Cindy was a baby, everyone in our family wanted to spend time with her. They all battled for her," Nari said with a chuckle. "Maybe those genes passed onto the twins."
"Mom...please don't start," Cindy moaned and pleaded.
"Okay, I won't tell any of your childhood stories," Nari assured. "But...I won't make any promises about your teenage years."
Cindy moaned again, making Albert Jr laugh at her sister's anguish.
"Don't make me start taking about your childhood stories too Albert Jr," Nari said, making him shut up and making Cindy put a smirk on her face.
The rest of the day was quite eventful for the Parker-Moon family. May, Nari, and Albert Sr were gossiping about their family and kids, which Peter and Cindy overheard and let out a few groans and giggles. Peter, Cindy, and Albert Jr were playing with Andrew and Alice which involved a few peek-a-boos, a few boops on the noses, and many more. Eventually, May and Cindy's family left Peter and Cindy alone along with their children.
