Brian handed Aiden who was crying less ferociously to Joanne and held Romy in his arms.
According to the experience of the past two days, it was easy to comfort Romy. As long as he held her for a while, the little girl would soon stop crying.
However, Romy told him the truth that-he was still too optimistic.
This time, it seemed that Little Romy was going to cry for a whole day. She cried so hard that her voice was hoarse and pitiful, which made Brian's heart ache for her.
Joanne couldn't stand it anymore, so she gave Brian a suggestion. "Get her some water to drink first."
There was warm water in the milk bottle. Brian took it and fed it to Freyaao, but before she could take two sips, the little girl turned her head and spat out the mouth of the milk bottle in disgust, and then continued to cry.
Brian put down the bottle and walked towards the French windows with Romy in his arms. He coaxed her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Of course, Romy wouldn't answer, but the louder she cried, the tighter her father's heart felt.
Brian frowned and gently patted Little Romy's shoulder. "Good girl, daddy's holding you. Don't cry, okay?"
"..."
Little Romy seemed to have understood Brian's words. She stared at Brian. Then her crying was indeed getting lighter, but it also sounded more aggrieved, as if she could not say who had bullied her.
This time, Brian's heart didn't just hurt, but he felt bursts of pain in his heart.
As long as his daughter could stop crying, he would do anything.
However, Xiao Yi was full of energy and had no intention of stopping. Brian could only try to distract her. He pointed at the light outside and said to her, "Baby, see what's outside."
The newborn little girl's vision was limited, so how could she see what was outside? She just continued to cry regardless of anything.
A rare sense of frustration surfaced on Brian's face. He caressed Xiao Yi's face, distressed and helpless. "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell, huh?"
Thinking that the little girl might be uncomfortable, Brian's face immediately became tense. He walked to the top of the bed with Romy in his arms and was about to call the nurse station.
Joanne asked right on time, "Who are you calling?"
Brian frowned and said, "Romy may be uncomfortable, so I want to ask a children's doctor to check on her."
"Don't make the call." Joanne let go of Aiden and said, "Take Aiden and leave Romy to me."
Brian frowned and did what he was told. What he saw was that as soon as Romy arrived in Joanne's arms, she seemed to feel something special. She immediately stopped crying and kept shaking her head, as if she was looking for something.
Joanne smiled and caressed her delicate face to feed her with breast milk.
"Uhm..." This time, Romy finally stopped crying. Occasionally, she would even sigh in satisfaction.
Joanne looked up and told Brian, "Actually... she was just hungry."
Brian's temples were throbbing. "... Why didn't you tell me before?"
Joanne said innocently, "I was feeding Aiden just now. So even if I told you that Romy was just hungry, you couldn't do anything about it. What's more, your look just now... was very funny."
"He looks very funny with his daughter in his arms when he doesn't know what to do."
Brian narrowed his eyes and kept this experience in his mind.
He was not in a hurry. There would be plenty of time in the future. He could let Joanne repay the debt of these days slowly with the rest of her life.
After having been fed, the two little guys finally stopped crying. They lay side by side beside Joanne and looked at the ceiling quietly. Occasionally, they raised their hands and kicked their feet, making vague sounds and blinking their big bright eyes. They looked so cute behaving like that.
After a while, Aiden might have felt bored. He clenched his small hand into a fist and put it into his mouth. He didn't have time to suck his hand before he was discovered by Brian.
Brian hooked the little guy's hand with a finger and shook his head to him. "No."
"Huh!"
Aiden made a protest and broke away from Brian's hand with force. He was so insistent to swallow his fist.
Once this habit was formed, it would be difficult to change it in the future. This time, Brian used more strength. He grabbed the hand of Aiden, and the little fellow used the same trick again, but found that he could not get rid of Brian's hand.
Perhaps he felt pitiful, so he pursed her lips and pretended that he was about to cry.
Brian didn't pamper him at all. He said firmly, "No."
The little guy seemed to have found that he couldn't resist Brian, so he innocently opened his eyes wide. He looked at Brian for a while and finally slowly put down his hand. It could be regarded as admitting defeat.
Only then did Brian pick up the little guy and kiss his face as a reward.
At this time, a nurse knocked on the door and came in. "Mr. Lambert, Mrs. Lambert, it's time to bath the babies."
The babies' tub was ready in the bathroom. The nurse went in to prepare the bath, and then adjusted the temperature of the bathroom to ensure that the babies would not catch a cold from the bath. In the end, she came out and called Brian, "Mr. Lambert, the bathroom is ready. Please carry one of the twins inside first."
Aiden happened to be in his arms, so Brian carried him into the bathroom. Joanne was not reassured, so she asked another nurse to take care of Romy and followed them into the bathroom.
Brian reminded Joanne, "There's water on the floor. Be careful."
"Mm," Joanne said with a smile. When she saw the nurse taking off Lil Xi's clothes, she asked excitedly, "Nurse, can I help him get bathed?"
"Not for now." The nurse smiled apologetically and explained patiently, "The Madam specially told me yesterday that you can't touch water for the time being."
Joanne compressed her lips to suppress her curiosity. "Well, then I'm sorry to trouble you."
Aiden's clothes had been taken off. The nurse held his butt and the back of his head and slowly put him into the water. She explained to Brian and Joanne, "The babies are always afraid when they touch water for the first time. They may also cry, but they will get used to it after a few times."
Brian looked at Aiden.
After half of his body was submerged in the water, the little fellow seemed to be not used to it. He opened his eyes and looked around vigilantly.
The nurse saw that the little guy did not reject it very much, so she continued gently.
When the water reached his chest, Aiden might have sensed the danger. So he pursed his lips and kicked his legs in the water in panic. He was about to cry.
Brian gently held the small hand of Aiden. "Dad is here. Don't be afraid."
When the little boy heard Brian's voice, he turned his head and looked around. It seemed that he found a sense of security. In the end, he did not cry out, but just held one of Brian's fingers tightly.
In less than three minutes, the nurse finished bathing Lil Xi. Brian wrapped the little fellow in a bath towel and carried him out.
The baby's bath towel was very soft and not very big, but when the newborn baby was wrapped in it, he still looked very small. When Brian put Lil Xi on the bed, his movements unconsciously became cautious, for fear of hurting the baby.
The nurse came over with a set of baby clothes and handed them to Brian. "Mr. Lambert, would you like to try changing clothes of the baby?"
Brian took the clothes that were only the size of his palms. "Thank you."
Joanne was a little skeptical and asked Brian, "You... can?"
"I've read it in the book." Brian unfolded the towel which wrapped Aiden and said flatly, "I remember the general steps."
Joanne watched with great interest. She saw Brian put on the little guy's trousers first, then his shirt by wrapping it on one arm of the little guy and then the other. Finally, he tidied it up and got the little guy changed into new clothes.
"..."
Joanne could only express her admiration.
"That's it." The nurse had seen Brian changing paper diapers for Aiden, so she didn't think it was surprising that Brian could change the clothes for Aiden. She was used to it and said, "Mr. Lambert, take your daughter to the bathroom. It's time for her to take a bath."
After all, Romy was a girl. She was timider than her brother. As soon as she touched the water, she cried out in fear and her pretty little face scrunched up. Seeing this, the nurse felt that she was bullying a newborn child and hesitated whether she should continue to bathe her.
"Let me do it." Brian took her daughter from the nurse and touched her little face. "What's wrong?"
"Boohoo..." The little beauty was crying vaguely, looking very pitiful.
"Don't cry." Brian used his palm to scoop a little water, and slowly and patiently poured it on the little girl's body, letting her feel the touch of water first, and coaxed her softly. "Dad will help you wash, okay?"
"Um..." The little girl looked at Brian with her bright black eyes, and the crying slowly weakened.
"Good girl." Brian held his daughter with both hands and slowly put her into the water, giving her time to adapt to the water's encirclement. At first, the little girl was still a little scared. She kicked her legs in the water, and then raised her hand. A few drops of water splashed on her face, and she blinked in horror.
In the end, perhaps it was because she found that it was not painful or itchy and that the water was quite fun, Romy not only stopped crying but also grinned at Brian and danced in the water.
The nurse looked at the excited little girl and couldn't help sighing. "She's so cute!"
In fact, what made her more surprised was Brian.
He was usually a man with an aloof temperament, but when he coaxed the child, he was gentle and patient, like a different person.
When Brian faced his son and daughter, he was like an iceberg that had been melted by the sun. Not only was he no longer cold, but he was also shrouded in a soft light, which made people feel warm.
Unfortunately, his tenderness was only for the few people he loved most.
Therefore, Joanne must be the one who had saved the Milky Way galaxy in her previous life.
Brian gently wiped Romy's neck and hands with a soft towel and soon finished bathing her. Then he spread the bath towel on his legs and carried her up from the water. He let her lie on the bath towel and quickly wrapped her in the same, leaving only her head out.
Romy realized that she could no longer move. She seemed to think that it was fun and smiled at Brian.
Brian caressed his daughter's little face lovingly. "I'll wash for you next time, okay?"
Romy was so excited that she waved her hands and stamped her feet. "Humph!"
