Juno and Jade were happy to be expecting their first child. Juno didnt know what to do. They had a false alarm where Jade thought she was pregnant but it turned out they werent. Two years after they were married they were trying but not actively. Both had settled into their marriage and their careers. When Jade found out she was offically pregnant they were ecstatic.
After giving birth, Jade was still amazed at the two little babies that they were holding. It seems that Viramontes is having an epidemic of twins! Here are Phillip and Stewart.

A few months later Juno and Jade decided to host a party to officially introduce their boys to the rest of their family. Now dont get them wrong. Juno's mom came by often. Juno was sad that her father was not able to be here to witness his second grand child. Jade comforted her when she would start sobbing wishing her father was here. Jade knew that Juno was missing her father terribly but it seemed to help that her mother would come often.
"Mom are you OK?" asked Juno.
"Yes. Its just wonderful holding a baby again. I dont get to visit Madeline too often so I miss these times."
"I can see. Im just happy your here mom. I love you so much."
"And I love you Juno. Dont worry I know that your father is looking down on us and he is so proud of all of you."
"I know mom. Thanks"
The party that was going so well was cut short since yet again Beatrix and Ivan began to literally fight in the middle of Juno's dining room. Her mother had had enough of the fighting and couldnt wait until they could get away from each other. It seemed that no matter how hard the family tried to get them to get along the more they fought. Juno was disgusted to see her brother and sister act this way so she sent both of them home. No matter how they tried to regain the party atmosphere they couldnt so the party was a total bust.
"Dont worry Juno. They are teens thats why they dont get along. Trust me they will get along when they are older."
"its not that Jade. Why dont they realize that Dad would not like this to happen on his watch? Then why do they do it? Its all so disrepectful really."

Before they knew it a year had passed and the boys were now toddler wanting to taste life outside of their crib. Jade tries to get Phillip to walk but for now Phillip is less than interested.

Poor baby Stewart is the apple of his mother's eye. He is so sweet and gentle that Jade wonders why Phillip tends to be the total opposite.
No matter how opposite they may be personalitywise, they tend to get along. They both help each other out when it comes times to solving problems. Its great that the boys get along and have fun on their new activity table.
Juno helps get the boys settled in their crib. Phillip on the left always wants more attention and refuses to go to sleep. Juno has to stand over the crib and sing a lullabye for Phillip. Finally as he manages to close his eyes Juno goes off to bed.
