Chapter 13-Angel by your side
Anthony Higgins couldn't get over how cute his two nephews were! The one that cracked him up the most though was Sean Matthew and yes, the poor kid went by both names. There was something about his red mop of hair that would never lie flat and how he stuck his tongue out the side of his mouth when he was concentrating on something. Patrick Anthony on the other hand was just as cute, but was a bit on the whiny side and got winded easily.
Patrick and Clarice made great parents, Anthony checked in on them every so often. He was still smirking thinking back on how the now two year old twins had the King of Brooklyn more domesticated than a house cat. He'd even witnessed the now redheaded man change diapers! The idiot was whooped. If he thought Spot was whipped when he fell for Clarice he was so wrong, he'd never seen the Irishman go so mushy until those two little ones came along.
There was nothing that made Racetrack happier than seeing his sister and her new family so in love and content. He'd figured out a long time ago that everything was going to be ok, but all he saw only solidified his peace.
Once the little ones turned 3, he knew for sure that they were going to be a mischievous pair. Sean Matthew was the more outgoing of the pair and much more reckless, he didn't seem to think before doing or saying anything, which wasn't saying much for a 3 year old, but his twin who was more shy, was much better at thinking things through and to Race's surprise lying. HE could lie straight through his teeth with no problem, much like his father. It was scary actually.
Tony had to keep a close eye on both of them and was constantly helping them find things they'd misplaced or helping them misplace things that needed to conveniently be hidden away, like the mouse they'd trapped in a matchbox. Had his sister found that, who knows what would have happened!
By the time the twins were 5, Tony swore that if it were possible to give an angel grey hairs, those two would have done it. Ralph and Sorna, the pair's Guardian Angels, sure had their handsfull, but they seemed so excited and enthusiastic about their job, it really was a neat and privileged experience to see exactly how the angels protected their charges. Boy did the twins need it.
Poor Clarice was pregnant again and the girl was less hormonal, but more fatigued and almost always nauseous this time around. There wasn't much he could do for that, but it was so cute watching the twins help their mother in all the small sweet ways they could.
The time that Sean Matthew kept insisting that Patrick Jr. rub their mother's feet like he'd seen their papa doing the night before Race had tried to not laugh, but failed miserably. Reluctantly agreeing under the terms that he'd get both of their cookies next time the brunette sheepishly rubbed their mama's feet while Sean Matthew tried to make tea.
After that, the twins were banned from the kitchen. Nothing like almost burning something down to make a pregnant woman jump.
Yup, Tony loved being with his boys!
