A few hours later...

Mr.Howard had already finished his working day as he returned back at home. Furthermore it was raining as he didn't figure it out until he experienced it as he walked out of the kindergarden after his working schedule was over for today. As he wore his chestnut leather jacket, a black and white stripped cotton top with long sleeves, navy blue slacks, black and white trainers, every garment that was on his body was soaked. Even his hair was wet, ruining its hairstyle. Hopefully the kindergarden wasn't far away from his villa that he bought around a decade ago.

Once he unlocked the front door, closing behind himself the door as he kicked off his shoes, hanging the jacket as the house sank in an immense hush. An usual hush! As always and everyday, he expected to be welcomed by the love of his life, Jude. Howsoever, something suspicious could be smelled by him as he peeped at every room on the first floor, even without making his own way to them, exclaiming velvety as his decibels gradually increased.

In the meantime, Jude woke up as she faintly opened her eyes as the babies still slept into her arms. Hopefully they didn't open their eyes and being influented by Timothy addressing his wife's name downstairs. The blonde's heart melted once when she heard her husband's voice and door slam, smiling irresistably, nonetheless she had a wonderful company which kept her from getting up. Ellie and Tristan! They were one of the cardinal reasons why she didn't want to leave them by themselves in the bedroom, with nobody else but with themselves- the siblings. Secondly, isn't there anything more pleasant as a sensation and phenomenon than to cuddle your children or child in your arms as you lay on the bed? Especially as a parent, whose wish came true lastly.

"Jude?" He checked in the living room, the kitchen and even the workshop if his wife is nearby. Unfortunately it was actually a trace of false hope. "Judy? Rare bird? I am already at home."

He raised an eyebrow as no track of Jude can be visible. A thought pop up in his mind. What actually occured into his mind was to check the second floor especially one of the most visited rooms by her. The bedroom.

Alternatively, the former priest went upstairs as his footsteps approached the couple's saunctary, he opened slightly the door as it let out a squeaky noise, provoking the middle aged woman's ears as her eyes were opened yet like an owl, her pulsating heart beating in her chest. She knew right away it was her husband.

As he stood before the doorway as the door was somewhat opened, he peeked as he didn't want to cause any trouble or to disturb her in particular way. In the interim, he wore a mischievous smile across his lips.

"Do not pretend like you haven't seen anything!" She whispered as her whisper was almost inaudible for his ears, however he can really tell what she murmured to him as she turned her back, laying on one side with Ellie and Tristan, their little angels into her arms.

"You are awake?" He enquired with puzzled but rather gleeful voice as he stepped in the bedroom, closing the door, afterwards walking up to her bashfully, smiling. 

He narrowly believed to see his wife with their little precious angels in her arms, hugging them firmly. He honestly beholded such a cute, overwhelming moment as he was in awe to witness it. For first time, he can see the woman of his life with their most precious things in this world especially into her arms. 

"Hi sweethearts!" He greeted friendly his partner and their children as she crouched down, stroking their heads delicately.

"Hi darling." Her smile grew abruptly as a result of the bonus that renders her gleeful too. It's her husband, of course. Additionally she said with soft voice, meanwhile thr twins were still asleep. 

"How are you?" He cupped her cheek as she held the children yet, looking up at one another's eyes, developing eye contact. Further Mrs. Howard had the enormous wish to cup his cheek or stroke his head, in spite of she isn't currently capable.

"I am... excellent, thank you! And you?"

"Glad to hear it. I am fantastic too, thanks." Timothy responded blissfully as his another hand managed to fondle each baby's teeny heads. "Tell me what were you doing with the..." He was cut off by his wife as she shushed to him

"Shhhh! I am going to tell you." She smirked a little as she raised an eyebrow. "Do you want to join us?"

"Oh yes! With huge pleasure."

Then the former monsignor joined his wife and their children as he laid next to his soulmate as she turned to face him, positioning herself to lay on one side. He clasped his both strong, musly, protective arms around her and their children, pulling her towards him, absorbing warmness as well. As the blonde felt more protected with her children, thanks to her husband's arms.

In the interim, Timothy kissed each one's foreheads until it was his turn to kiss hers too, planting a feather kiss on her temple, thereafter they looked straightly at one another's eyes with desire, love and passion. Afterwards Jude's lips pursued for his as they pressed lightly their lips against one another's as his tongue penetrated her mouth as her lips parted, giving an access to the moist tongue to make its own way.

Unfortunately, they broke off the kiss as it didn't last for longer. Then they carried on with their longer lasting eye contact as they spoke to each other.

"How was your day at work?"

"It passed well. The children had so much fun today, besides they were so obediant. Thanks!" He grinned faintly to her as his chocolate eyes radiated felicity. "What about your day with Ellie and Tristan?" He enquired.

"Pleased to hear it." She smirked, exhaling and inhaling in the same time. "It was super to be with Ellie and Tristan. They were so obediant and amazing as always."

"That's fantastic, sweetheart! Tell me more." He insisted to listen to more about her day with the children home alone.

"Well," She chuckled nervously as her cheeks mildly heated, reddening. "I read them fairy tales for children, I sang them their lullaby as we communicated. I wandered in the yard, showing them our majestic, extraordinary garden as their big eyes were in awe." Judy narrated more detailed as she abided honest. 

"Aww, that's adorable!"

"Definitely!" All of a sudden his soaked clothes dried, thanks to their tight, warm cuddle in the bed. Furthermore she restrained herself from raising the topic about his drenched garments. That would ruin her husband's current gleaming mood as well.

Later on tonight...

After Ellie and Tristan were fed, bathed, changed their diapers and changed into new clothes as they were put to sleep, their parents took a quick shower as they changed themselves immediately into their sleeping garments. 

Moreover it kept on to rain outside as it didn't stop for hours. The couple had determined themselves after leaving their twins to sleep in their bedroom, to go downstairs in the living room as they watch under the big French window the heavy pouring rain as they cuddle into one another's body. Luckily no thunder bolt either hit the ground or the sky, as a result of terrifying the twins, waking them up in bubbling and worry the former nun. 

As they walked up to the living room as they descended the stairs, they headed to the big French window as they crouched down, huddled in the corner, Jude having the opportunity to lay her head on her partner's chest as they kept staring at the nocturnal rain, cuddling together as his arms were clasped around her waist. Most of the time they were speaking with more velvety voice as they prefered to relish every unique moment especially this one. In silence. Only the silence is the missing fragment. They wore sparkling, broad smiles across their slightly enlightened faces via the moonlight as the living room's lights were turned off for better experience. In the meantime, they told each other as they didn't miss the chance to look up at one another's eyes.

"I love you so much, darling!"

"I love you too very much, rare bird!"

Then Timothy kissed her temple as it gave her skin goosebumps of the pleasant, phenomenal sensation as they continued to cuddle, admiring the nocturnal rainy scenery from the living room's French window.
