Sometime later on...



As Howards' family old friend, Kit Walker, had already supervised Ellie and Tristan as he spent the majority of his time to being a responsible, diligent babysitter by taking care of them, speaking to them as he received as a replication back from them their adorable babbling, cooing, eventually he put them to sleep in their cots, located in the couple's grandiose, spacious bedroom.

As Jude and Timothy had a great time at the Asian restaurant, located far away from their home, they determined to return back at home right in the midnight hours, as their mouths had already savored every mouth-watering bite of every Asian meal that had abided in their stomachs, satiate every scintille, leading to their hunger.

The both partners couldn't be more gleeful for spending some time outside their house especially on their first wedding anniversary. Their radiant smiles were glued on their faces permanently like it was midst one of the best days in their dynamic, splendid lives.

When the both lovers returned back at home as Timothy parked his car, in the interim Kit was watching TV from the goth sofa whilst the twins were sleeping peacefully in their cribs upstairs. A sound of rattling keys and unlocking the front door taunted the young man's ears as he decreased the TV's decibels via the remote, turning his back as he noted his old friends greeting him friendly as they kicked off their shoes and hanging their thick coats on the coat hangers, hopping up in their slippers as they headed directly to the living room to speak with Mr.Walker who abided in sitting position on the sofa. Once Mr. and Mrs.Howard established in the living room as they had the opportunity to chat with the younger man, they sat on the armchairs, striking a conversation.



"How was the babysitting?" Jude enquired concerned about her children if either she trusts her former patient from the institution where he used to be imprisoned for condemning him to spend the rest of his days in the morbidly sinister Briarcliff, due to the false accusation of being the famous serial killer, Bloodyface. Or otherwise she might mistrust him, due to the fact that she hasn't been close friend of his, despite she had being forgiven by him and the love of his life, Grace, for all sorrows and suffery they had been through, thanks to her and the former Monsignor.



"It was fine." The younger gentleman smiled broadly, radiantly as his heart melted, begetting inward sympathy and affection for Jude and Timothy's children, Ellie and Tristan. Furthermore, he was himself as he didn't impose any emotions in his speech. "They were such obediant little angels." He continued. 



"That's great, Kit!" Timothy responded as he intervened in the conversation, being inquisite about the twins' condition, subsequently rating Mr.Walker's babysitting skills. A flash, amicable smile gleamed on his face. "How are they now?" He asked.



"They are well. They are already asleep as I put them to sleep a half an hour ago." He paused as he exhaled softly, wearing his youthful, open-minded smile. "I had took a good care of them. You shouldn't be worried at all. You are being guranted once you check out for yourselves." 



The both parents couldn't help but smile as their hopes were just more than hopes. Their convictions to believe his hardwork rocket up. 

A little before Kit to leave, he turned off the TV as he apologised for the awkwardness, consequently being forgiven. After their discussion as they were tremendously grateful to Kit for looking after the children as they took a goodbye with him, alternatively the couple were along with the children, as a handful of minutes divided from midnight.

As they went upstairs to make sure if the task was excellently done as they pushed slightly the squeaky bedroom's door, leading to their sanctuary, they sneaked through the dark room, walking up to the wooden cribs, peeping up as they recognized the heavenly motionless, howsoever, cute, beatific babies. 

Jude and Timothy's hearts moltened like chocolate as their eyes shone, their smiles abruptly growing, irresistably staring in their wee bodies. It was such unbelievable miracle for the both pious parents to have children especially Jude. 

She had lived in a full lie since the doctor informed her about having a syphilis, incapable of having her own children; Until the day, she discovered by herself the symptoms of her almost hopeless in her consciousness. Namely being impregnated by the man of her dreams and life, who did controversial things to her. Initially calling her a rare bird, his right hand, promising to take her with him in Rome, fulfilling their dreams as he tended to become a Pope whilst his partner being addressed "Mother Superior", thereafter betraying her by stripping off her position and giving his virtue to a vicious, unloving woman, who was never his cup of tea as well. Ultimately the nowadays Mrs.Howard being promised to leave Briarcliff with the man who did variety of things to her just before their escape from the eerieness, misery and violence of facility for mentally ill criminals. 



"He's right. The children are alright." Timothy exclaimed satisfied as his smile illuminated his face even in the darkest part of the room like a lantern of the hopes, his hands holding his son's crib as the fingers touched delicately a handful of inches. 



"Definitely!" She tittered faintly, smiling to the children and her husband in the same time. "He's really responsible and staid man, besides babysitter."



"I cannot disagree with you." Timothy paused as his lips pursued to press them on her glowing, snowy flesh and her mellow, naturally rosy lips, nevertheless her lipstick remained layering her upper and bottom lips. Meanwhile he approached her as he kissed her cheek moving on the next twin's crib as his distsnce with Jude was approximately no shorter of millimeters.



"Perhaps we can trust him about babysitting our children the next time when we plan to spend some of our time as a couple." She stated delighted.



"Yes. Howsoever it depends of him." The former priest paused as he wrapped an arm around his wife's upper back, pulling her closer to him as they relished the majestic scenery of each twin sleeping. A scenery they hadn't seen for a long time.



"Because in the contrary, we can hire somebody else if he cannot." He carried on.


"Yes, we can. But it depends if we trust them either."



"Absolutely."



Then they sighed satisfied as they left the room, going downstairs in the kitchen to pour themselves some fresh, cool water in seperate glasses as they stood in front of the kitchen plot.

Suddenly the hush was broken as Timothy sipped from his beverage.



"Jude, I have something for you." He uttered every syllable with velvety voice, smiling broadly to her as he left his glass of water aside, grabbing her free hand into his as his thumb kneaded her soft, fragile knuckles.



"What's it?" She inquired curious like a little child, excited to behold what is her forthcoming surprise.



"Just close your eyes for a while, okay? Sweetheart?" He insisted as she covered her eyes with her palm, grinning gleefully.




Instead of answering his order, she just did what she was being told. Whilst her warm palm covered her eyes, in the meantime Timothy delved in his costume's pocket as he was a magician from circus. He took off something from his pocket as it was something like coupon.



"Now open your gorgeous eyes." He ordered with soft voice as his breath tickled her delicate face's skin, offering her a broad, sunny smile on his excited face.



As soon as she opened her eyes,managing to remove her hand, beholding her present first wedding anniversary's gift as her facial expression was in awe. Her eyes widely opened like sleepless owl, a widely opened mouth as her jawline dropped, meantime her fingers holding the coupon with trip to Ireland in any weekend day of August. Her smile contracted its brightness, scarcely believing as she was deliriously wonderstrucked, peeping at her husband with exhilarated look, thereafter returning her eyes into the their trip's coupon for the entire family to Ireland.



"You should be crazy. It's amazing." She exclaimed, near her verge to have a heart attack, grinning as she covered her mouth with a hand, being overwhelmingly amused.



"I am actually." He cackled as Jude joined him either too, cackling along. "A trip to Ireland as we can choose which weekend day to travel for a few days."




"Yeah, that's wonderful. I can't wait until the summer to go altogether." 




The couple couldn't be much happier until the next 6 months when they will be able to discover some European nature's mysticism, comeliness and allurement as they will bring with themselves Ellie and Tristan as almost 1 year old children.
