Ema sighed in contentment, and collapsed back onto her bed with her eyes closed. After she had been left at Klavier’s giant apartment with the twins, she had spent the day looking after them. It had been a few years since she had looked after children as young as these, and she loved it.
Flora and Franz were adorable, and not very hard work. She was surprised just how tired she felt when she sat down just after being dropped off by Klavier, and decided to get an early night so she would be ready for the next day of ‘work’. She loved being a detective, even if it wasn’t her dream job of forensic scientist, but having a break every now and then from the stress was brilliant.
She was still smiling over her day and the days to come when her phone rang. Checking the caller ID, she found that it was Lana. She didn’t mask her happiness when she answered. “Hey, sis.”

There was a short silence of confusion before her sister answered. “Ema? Is that you?” Lana sounded surprised, and Ema didn’t know why.
“Of course it’s me. Why?” Lana laughed a little at this.

“You sound so happy! And after a day at work, as well! Normally you’re about ready to explode… what happened?” Ema wasn’t sure what to say to this. Klavier had asked her to keep it all a secret, but this was Lana. She decided to tell her the basics and tell her anything she asked truthfully.
“Well, today I wasn’t exactly working… Klavier had something else he wanted me to do for him for the next couple of days. Oh, but thanks to his cover story the whole department thinks I’m ill.” As she spoke, Ema sat up and made her way to the kitchen for a drink.
“Ema… What errand has made you like your boss to the point of using his name instead of calling him a ‘glimmerous fop’? His first name no less.” Ema wasn’t entirely sure how to put it.
“Well, I was basically being a babysitter.” Ema smiled again, thinking of the twins.
“Babysitter? He has children?” Again, Lana sounded surprised.
“No! Franz and Flora aren’t his; they’re his brother’s friends. Kristoph was scheduled to look after them while their mom had a break, but because of his situation he couldn’t. And Klavier couldn’t look after them while he worked, and needed someone to help… and he chose me when I went to give him a case file, saw the kids and fell in love with them. So I spent the day looking after Flora and Franz at Klavier’s apartment.” Lana was silent. “Sis?”
Then the older Skye sister reacted with a small laugh and a sigh. “Ema, is it ok if I come round for a little bit tomorrow? Seen as you won’t be at work, and I haven’t seen you for ages.” Ema laughed a little bit, and answered almost immediately.
“Sure! Any time. Oh… Wait I’ll be at Klavier’s all day looking after the kids… I could always ask Klavier if you could come round there?” Lana was about to respond when Ema’s phone started beeping. “Oh, I’ll call you back in a minute, sis. I’ve got another call… probably someone from work. Speak in a bit!” Without waiting for her sister to reply, Ema ended that call and listened to the other line. Judging from the background noise, someone wasn’t happy.
“Klavier? Is that you?” she asked when she heard somebody speaking in German on the other end of the line.
“Ja, fräulein Skye. The twins are crying and I don’t know how to make them stop and you were so good at it earlier I thought you might… I’m sorry, was I interrupting something?” Klavier sounded worried, stressed and tired, almost having to shout over the twins screaming.
“Calm down, Klavier. Do you want me to come over? I can get Lana to drop me off.” Ema wouldn’t be able to see why they were crying unless she saw them, and seen as she couldn’t drive, asking Lana to take her was the quickest way she could think of.
“If you wouldn’t mind, Ema. They’ve been screaming like this for at least five minutes now, I can’t get them to stop!” Klavier still sounded panicked, but was slightly calmer in the knowledge that help would be there soon.
“Ok Klavier. I’ll be about fifteen minutes; I’ll see you then. Stay calm!” Ema heard a groan from Klavier before she shut off the line. Pressing the speed dial for her sister, Ema started to get ready. As soon as she heard it pick up Ema started speaking.
“Lana! I’m sorry but there’s a problem with the twins could you give me a lift to Klavier please?” Ema already had her small bag packed with her keys, purse, a couple of bags of snackoos and various other little things and was busy sorting out her clothes by this time.
“Sure, Ema. I’ll be round in five.” Ema thanked her and hung up, throwing her cell into her bag. She had already gotten changed into her pyjamas, and had to get dressed. Not caring what she looked like, she threw on an old pair of jeans and a green halter-neck top. She put a jacket on over this. Hearing the door, she didn’t bother with her hair as she ran to the door, grabbing her bag on the way. As soon as they were in the car, Lana set off driving.
“Do you know what’s wrong with them?” Ema shook her head.
“No, Klavier had been trying to get them to stop crying for ages, but he couldn’t comfort them both at the same time and he had no idea what they needed.” Lana smiled a little.
“Were they alright when you were there?” Ema nodded, confused and slightly annoyed at her sister’s happiness. Lana kept her smile, and simply smiled. No matter what Ema said, she refused to say anything on the matter.
Lana was great with children – not only did she practically raise Ema but she also had her own little girl. She was still not answering as they pulled up outside Klavier’s apartment. Ema had told Lana the address on the way to the car, and it took no time for them to get there.
Ema ran up to the front door, Lana following behind, and buzzed Klavier’s apartment. The noise she heard coming from the other end told her that the twins were still upset.
“Klavier, we’re here!” Ema said, and she heard Klavier’s relived sigh before he buzzed them in, and then she ran upstairs to his apartment. Lana was just behind her, at waking pace. Klavier was waiting with the door open and both screaming toddlers in his arms when she got there.
“Franz! Flora! Aw come here…” Ema cooed, taking them both from Klavier and holding them to her in a giant hug. Shushing them and gently swaying, she walked through into the main room. She heard Klavier shut the door after Lana, and then realised how. They had stopped crying. Ema smiled, amazed, at an equally shocked Klavier. Lana mouthed an ‘I told you so’ to her, also smiling. Flora was nestled on her right side, and Franz on her left. Both had their heads resting in the crook of her neck, chewing one hand and holding Ema tightly with the other. Both were silent, eyes closed.
“Ema… How did you do that?” Klavier asked, making his way over to her.
“I… I don’t know! I just… all I did was…” Ema tried to explain, not really knowing what she had done. Lana explained for her.
“The twins were crying for her, and all she had to do was be there. She was like their mommy earlier, and they wanted her back.” The pair was speechless. After a moment, Ema was the first to speak.
“Their mommy?” Lana nodded. “They think of me as their mommy?” Lana nodded again. Ema smiled and looked down at them as best she could. She gave them both a kiss on their head. Klavier smiled, too.

“Looks like it’s going to be harder to give you the shorter work hours, Ema.” Ema looked up at him, confused. “Well, if they’re going to act like that if you leave… I have a spare room..?” This Ema understood. She looked at him, shocked at what he was suggesting. “Again, it’s alright if you don’t want to, I can understand that you wouldn’t want to be with them and me constantly for a few days… It’s just… They love you, and I can’t think of another way…” Ema shot him a look that made him stop speaking.
“Klavier Gavin, are you suggesting that I wouldn’t do anything to keep these guys happy? Besides, I can’t have you going to that trial the day after tomorrow with a bad headache, no sleep, and two upset toddlers, can I?” She broke her serious face here by smiling, and Klavier smiled, too.
“Thank you so much, Ema! You have no idea what you doing this for them means for me… Well, make yourself at home! I have a spare room you can use, and I should have plenty of food here… Oh, Danke so viel fräulein!” For once, Ema didn’t mind him slipping into German. She giggled a little, and looked back down to the twins.
“Erm… Klavier? They’re asleep…” She said, before they all started giggling again. Slowly, Klavier came over to her and carefully peeled Franz away, leading the way to a medium-sized makeshift nursery. It had a crib in it, and yet more toys. Ema placed Flora down first, and then Klavier put Franz in the other end. They covered them with a blanket, and brushed their hair away from their eyes. Smiling, they carefully made heir way out to the main room, and found that Lana had gone home.
She had left a scruffy note by the door, saying Ema, I have to get back home, but good luck with the twins! I know you’ll be fine. I’ll speak to you tomorrow, Lana x After reading it, Ema turned to Klavier, who was leaning on a giant speaker.
She walked towards him and pulled him into a hug, which, after a moment of shock, he reciprocated. “Thank you, Ema” he whispered.
Ema sighed. “No, thank you Klavier.”
