Silence had reigned inside the twin's bedroom. The atmosphere remained warm and gentle, yet there was a heavy tension brimming in Alicia and Zeke's eyes as they gazed at each other without speaking.

Alicia's heart continued pounding hard and was unable to calm down. She could feel that he was going to say something that will definitely shock her entire being. She could not tell though, if it was to be either good news or bad.

"I think… I'll tuck Alice back into bed first. I don't want her waking up suddenly now that she is asleep." Alicia said in a low voice, tearing her gaze from Zeke and looking down at the little bundle of joy that was still sleeping peacefully in her arms.

Zeke nodded wordlessly and they both stood. He was careful and quiet as he assisted Alicia in tucking the baby back into her cot.

After that, they both just stood there, hands holding onto each other's as they watched Alice suck her thumb to pacify herself while sleeping.

They just looked so cuddly and warm, all tucked into their individual cots, each covered with a baby flannel blanket. Alexis was covered with a pewter grey one while Alice was covered with a pistachio green one. Both babies must have clearly enjoyed its soft, cozy feel, since it was doing a good job keeping them perfectly warm and comfortable as they dozed on in dreamland.

"Goodnight, you two." She whispered to both the twins, giving them a soft gentle smile before lifting her gaze back to Zeke.

He seemed to be out of it again for a moment as he stared down at the babies.

Alicia squeezed on his hand to get his attention. She liked watching him being seemingly out of touch with reality while looking at the babies or at her. Simply because it was just so rare for this man to have such a look in his eyes. Too bad she had to interrupt this wonderful moment and prompt him to say whatever it was that he wanted to say.

She was dying to know what it was. And she could not wait any longer because she feared that they might get interrupted again. Somehow, this seemed to be the trend of things whenever they were about to speak on important matters.

Zeke faced her. His gaze was locked straight onto hers.

Then there it was, the rare vulnerability that he had only ever show when it was just between the two of them. He looked at her like his heart was now fully opened, his soul completely bared to her. He had nothing to hide and no secrets to keep from her.

"Alicia…" her name rolled from his lips in a low but clear voice.

She made a small sound, letting him know that she had heard him, as she tilted her head a little as she waited. Trying her best to stay composed.

Zeke dropped his gaze and stared down at their connected hands for a long time. He fiddled with her fingers while keeping his eyes downcast.
