Pregnant With Alpha’s Genius Twins

#Chapter 26 – Slumber Party

“Slumberrrrrrr Partyyyyy!” Ian yells, bursting in the back door of Victor’s house, a huge backpack of toys and pillows on his back. He spreads his arms out and zooms around the kitchen, pretending to be an airplane.

Alvin follows his brother, laughing, his arms equally filled with supplies. Beta Edgar follows both, shutting the door behind them and giving Victor a cheerful nod, letting him know that all is well.

Victor smiles his gratitude and then kneels down, laughing with the boys. “What is all this stuff?” he says, taking an armful of toys from Alvin so that he can chase his brother.

“It’s our SUPPLIES,” Alvin says, unhelpfully, grinning. “Everything we need for the slumber party!”

“But you have toys here,” Victor says, confused as he looks through the assortment of toys, books, and blankets that Alvin has brought. “Everything you have at your moms house you have here –“

“Nooooo,” Alvin whines, running back and wrapping himself around Victor’s leg. “We neeeeeed it.”

Victor laughs, giving in. “Fine, whatever. Are you ready to take it up…to your new ROOM?!” The boys gasp, pleased shock all over their faces.

“We have a new ROOM?!”

“That is awesome!” Alvin jumps with his hands up in the air like an ecstatic little frog. Victor smiles down at them, pleased to make them so happy. Until now, the room had been a stuffy guest room for Victor’s family, when they rarely chose to visit. But with a few changes, it became a little boy’s paradise.

“Where is it?” Ian says, looking around the first floor as if a new door would materialize out of nowhere. Victor laughs.

“It’s upstairs. But first, you have to say thank you to Amelia – it was her idea,” he puts out a hand to Amelia as she walks into the room, beaming a smile.

“Oh, you’re here!” Amelia says, pressing her hands together. “I’m so excited to play with you!” The boys immediately stop jumping and sneer at her.

“Oh. Hello, Amelia.” Alvin says, narrowing his eyes.

“Whaaaat,” Ian whines, his body going limp as he falls onto the floor in despair. “You didn’t say SHE was coming to the slumber party!”

“She lives here, Ian,” Victor says, shaking his head at him. “Don’t be rude, get up and say hello. Both of you need to thank her for your new room.”
