Rabb Residence

Slowly opening her eyes, a beautiful sight greeted her. Harm had three-day-old Sarah lying on his chest, his arms around her, protecting her. Both were fast asleep. Quietly, so as not to wake them, Mac got out of bed. She crept down the hall to their home office and retrieved their digital camera off of the shelf it occupied. Walking back to the bedroom, she snapped half a dozen pictures of Sarah and her daddy. Shuffling down the hall to Daniel’s room, there she did the same to her slumbering son.

Putting down the camera, she gently stroked Daniel’s cheek. Unable to resist, she carefully picked him up and out of his bassinette and sat down with him in the rocker Harm had gotten for her. She held him to her, enjoying his sweet new baby smell of him. Though he was only three days old, she was already addicted to the feel of him in her arms.

She kissed him and positioned him so that she could see his face. Looking at him now, she saw that his eyes were open and looking at her. “Hello, my sweet baby boy,” she told him, smiling. “How did I ever get so lucky to be your mommy? You and your sister have brought such joy to my life.” He just cooed at her.

Rising from the rocker, she carried Daniel into the bedroom she shared with Harm. Climbing back into bed, she settled Daniel in beside her. Their movement woke Harm.

“Hey,” he said, sleepily.

She smiled. “Hey yourself.”

He picked up Sarah and gently lay her down beside her brother. Turning on his side, Harm leaned in for a good morning kiss.

Breaking apart, they looked at their twins. They were facing each other, hands entwined, fast asleep.

Taking their cue from the babies, Mac took Harm’s hand in hers, fingering his gold wedding band. “What did I ever do to deserve you?” she asked.

He smiled. “I was going to ask you the same thing. When we got married, I didn’t think I could be any happier. And now I have you and the kids. I can’t imagine being any happier than I am at this moment.”

She pulled him closer. “I love you so much, Harmon Rabb Jr.”

“And I love you just as much, Mac,” he told her, capturing her mouth with his in a sweet kiss before they joined their babies in dreamland.
