Charles simply nodded. ”Alright. If you're sure.” he said giving her one more hug before letting go.
"the kids need to eat and get dressed then they'll be ready' she said
Charles nodded. ”No rush. I was just eager to see them and you.” he told her.
"Do you want anything tea, coffee bottle of blood" she said
”Coffee is fine. I drank enough blood for the week before I came over.” he smiled assuringly.
She nodded " hun can you get dad some coffee?" She asked
”Yeah, one second. Apparently, Adrian would rather paint with his breakfast rather than eat it.” Lysander called out from the kitchen.
" Ly! You can't give them real.food they have to have formula" she said pushing him out of the way
Lysander groaned a little. ”I know that. I said the wrong thing.” he explained. ”I meant Laura-Beth’s breakfast. He just grabbed a handful and started smearing it all over.”
"Just go in there please I'll feed them Evan is coming over" she said
Lysander froze at that news, not really trusting his brother much anymore since Betty told him that Evan was a Ripper. ”Why is he coming over?” he asked, grabbing a warm washcloth to clean up Adrian’s mess.
"because they're his kids I won't let them be raised how I was never knowing who your father is " she said
He nodded. "Ok. That makes sense." he agreed gently. He was able to understand somewhat because of how Evan had originally wiped his memory of having a brother. "Alright. Do we know when he'll be here?"
There was a knock on the door
Lysander couldn't help but chuckle softly and shook his head. ”Speak of the devil…” he joked quietly so Laura-Beth didn't hear him.
“I’ll get it.” Charles told them since he was closer to the door.
She smiled "No it's okay dad I got it" she said speeding past him.and opening the door
Charles dodged to the side as Betty ran past him but he didn't mind.
”Hey, Betty.” Evan greeted with a warm smile.
"Hi the twins are inside" she said
”Thanks.” Evan said as he walked in the door. ”And thanks for letting me see them.”
She nodded"Thier your kids"
”Your’s too.” he reminded her gently, though he doubted that she would forget that.
"you can feed them" she said
Evan's smile turned more excited at that suggestion. "Really? That'd be… I really appreciate that."
"Hey, Evan." Lysander greeted as he finished wiping the last bit of oatmeal off his face and Adrian's hands.
She walked over to the counter handing him a bottle "Here you go ev" she said
Evan nodded in return to Lysander before accepting the bottle from Betty. ”Thanks.” he smiled, looking at the twins.
"you can feed Adrian" she said
Lysander bit his tongue to keep from laughing as he picked up the white-haired boy. ”Here you go. You may want to sit down… He doesn't like to be still.” he warned before handing him to Evan.
Evan nodded as he took the wilder of the twins and sat down to try to feed the baby in his arms.
Betty walked over and grabbed a paper towel coughing blood into it
Lysander was quickly at her side. ”Betty? Are you alright?” he asked in concern.
Evan looked up at her, worried but didn't move because Ly had beaten him to her, as Charles walked into the room.
"I'm fine" she said
