$3 188. Beautiful Morning

“Are they still sleeping?” Frank asked as he sat at the mouth of the

tent.

Kara turned her head with a gentle gaze. Her smile brightened when she greeted her husband’s handsome face.

“Yeah, it looks like they’re exhausted. Look.” Kara looked back at the twins. “Louis is sleeping with opened mouth.”

While rubbing Kara’s arm, Frank joined in observing his children. A faint laugh escaped his mouth.

Louis and Emily looked comfortable in their sleeping bags. One was in the shape of a lion. Another one was in the shape of a bear. Both were equally adorable.

“It’s natural they’re tired. They went to sleep at two o’clock. Now, should we wake them up?”

Kara nodded slightly. “If we don’t wake them up, they’ll sulk. They’ve been waiting for the sunrise here since last week.”

Frank took a deep breath then exhaled quickly. “Okay, no problem. This is one of my favorite jobs.”

Frank changed position to rest on both knees. A second later, he began to shower the twins’ cheeks with soft kisses.

“Is it morning yet?” Louis muttered hoarsely. His eyes still hadn’t opened, but his body was already writhing.

Emily frowned. After scratching her cheek, her eyes peeked out a little. “Good morning, Daddy.”

“Morning, Princess. Did you sleep well?”

Yawning, Emily nodded lazily. Meanwhile, Louis hugged Yemon again, giving in to sleepiness. No one knew when the plush moved to his sleeping bag.

“Is the sun up yet?” Emily asked weakly.

“Yeah, it’s just starting to rise. The sky is turning red and looks so beautiful. Do you want to see it?”

After blinking for a while, Emily sat up. She looked like a larva with that sleeping bag.

“What about Uncle and Auntie? Are they awake?”

“I don’t know. How about we meet them after breakfast with the sunrise? Who knows, Uncle Jeremy might want to go hiking with us.”

Suddenly, Louis got up too. Still with his eyes closed, he furrowed his brows. “We want to go hiking?”

“Yeah, we’re going to see the Mobius Arch and other beautiful rocks. We’re going to explore the Alabama Hills all morning, before continuing on to the museum. Do you guys like that plan?”

Emily nodded, but her expression was still listless. “Is Mommy g on the hike?” She looked at Kara with still narrowed eyes. There wa hint of worry in her question..

Kara stroked her sweet chubby cheek. “No, Little Angel. Mommy an Aunt Ava are pregnant. We’ll see you from the van later.”

Unexpectedly, Emily shifted and hugged Kara tightly. Her lips pouted beneath her furrowed brows.

“Thank goodness. That way, my dreams won’t come true.”

Kara’s eyebrows arched high. “Dream?”

“I dreamed that we were all walking around here. Suddenly, Mommy

tripped over. Little Baby got angry because her head hit Mommy’s stomach. She kept kicking until Mommy was in pain.”

Frank and Kara smiled when they heard that ridiculous dream.

“You don’t need to worry, Little Angel. Mommy will walk very carefully today, so Mommy won’t trip. Now, wash your face and brush your teeth. Mommy will make sandwiches for breakfast.”

In an instant, Louis’ eyes widened. His back straightened. “Will Mommy add cheese to it?”

Kara nodded. “Yes, Mommy will make something better this morning.”

Louis’ hand lifted out of his sleeping bag. “Woohoo! I love delicious food. Come on, Emily. Let’s get ready. We shouldn’t be too late. Don’t let the sun be up by the time we have breakfast.”

While the two toddlers ran towards the van, Frank glanced at Kara with a look full of love. His hand stroked her back affectionately.” You’re a great mother, Kara. The kids wouldn’t grow up this well if it weren’t for you.”

“You are also great parents, Frank. They wouldn’t have such memories if it weren’t for you. I’m sure they will never forget the camping experience here.”

Leaning her head on Frank’s shoulder, Kara looked out at the mountains. The highest peak looked like it was burned by the sun.

“I will also never forget this experience. This view. This feeling,” Kara whispered while stroking her husband’s chest.

“Yeah, me too. This is the best short vacation in history. Later when Rylee or Russell has been born, let’s create more beautiful moments.”

Kara turned her head and nodded gently. Her sweet expression made Frank’s heart flutter. He kissed her lips affectionately.

While Frank and Kara got ready for their next adventure, Jeremy and Ava

were still lying on the bed in the van. Both of them were holding books. Occasionally, they exchanged information.

“Jeremy, do Elio and Soleil sound good?” Ava asked in a half- whispered voice. Jeremy liked that soft tune.

“Good. What do they mean?”

“Sun is in Spanish and French. I think it’s a good name for a boy.”

Smiling, Jeremy kissed Ava’s temple. “Let’s put them on the list.”

“Okay. What about Stella and Estelle?” Ava asked, raising an eyebrow.

“For a girl’s name?”

Ava nodded. “It means star. It sounds beautiful and graceful.”

“Just like you?” Jeremy smiled seductively.

Ava let out a laugh. “It’s still early for teasing, Jeremy. You better report your findings.”

Jeremy pursed his lips and showed her the page he was oper This is about constellations. Apparently, there are 88 constel officially recognized by the International Astronomical Union. only read a few.”

“Is there anything that interests you?” Ava put her head closer to Jeremy’s shoulder.

“I like Orion, one of the brightest and most beautiful constellations. is located at the celestial equator, so it can be seen all over the earth. It looks like a man holding a sword and shield. In Greek mythology, Orion is a skilled hunter. He must look very dashing.”

“Just like you?” Ava smiled.

Jeremy snorted a laugh. “Yes, if our child is a boy, I want him to be

dashing like me.”

“You’re so confident,” Ava muttered before kissing her husband’s cheek. “Then, is there anything else you like?”

“Aquilla. Its shape resembles an eagle. In Greek mythology, Aquilla is a pet and a creature that was tasked with carrying lightning by Zeus. Sounds cool, right?”

Ava nodded. “Let’s put them into the list.”

When they were about to read again, the sound of a horn roused their

bodies from the bed.

“Uncle, Auntie! Are you still sleeping?”

Jeremy and Ava stared wide eyed. They quickly threw off the blanket, put on clothes, then greeted the two toddlers who were waiting at the

door.

“Twins? What are you doing so early? Shouldn’t you still be sleeping? You slept late last night,” Jeremy said with a high arched eyebrow.

Behind Jeremy, Ava appeared with tousled hair. “Good morning,

Twins.” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“Good morning, Auntie. Have you just woken up? We came to tak Uncle Jeremy on a hike.” Emily’s tiny forefinger poked Jeremy’s knee That’s why we’re so excited to wake up so early.”

“Where do you want to hike?” Jeremy’s eyes widened even more.

“Around here. Daddy is taking us to look for the famous curved stones. Do you want to come along?” Louis tilted his head. His face. was fresh and full of enthusiasm.
