AN: I plan on this being a direct continuation of the main story, though I don't want to discourage anyone from making any other spin offs.

The celebration continuted until about 8 o'clock and we enjoyed spending the day with our family and friends. Veronica and Megan where a bit disapointed that they had to leave but were otherwise excited about the cubs.
"We set up a party for them and they slept through it."I said with a chuckle, looking at Machli and Michael, who were fast asleep in their carriers.
"Well being born will do that to you."Molly said with a chuckle from the kitchen, busy washing the dishes
"I'll put them to bed."I said softly, lifting the twins out of their carriers. Machli stirred a bit but didn't seem to wake up. I slowly made my way upstairs, towards the former guest room, which was now the cub's room.
I laid both in seperate cribs, covering them up with a blanket I was sure wouldn't make them overheat. We hadn't put in any baby moniters but with our hearing we didn't think we needed one.
I stood in the doorway for a few moments, smiling happily at my sleeping cubs before creeping downstairs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With the cubs in bed Molly and me planted ourselves on the couch, deciding to watch the news before going to bed. We caught the national news just as it was coming on, but we didn't pay much attention, our exictment at being parents still on our minds.
About mid-way through the broadcast the phone rang, which made me scowl, hoping the cubs wouldn't wake up.
"I'd best get that."I said already going up the stairs and heading into our room. Thankfully I managed to pick it up before the ringing woke up the cubs.
"Hello?"I asked, wondering who would be calling us this late
"Hello Mr.Wayne." A deep voice responded, and for some reason I shuddered at it."I've heard you and you're wife have been doing rather well."
"Who is this?"I asked, keeping my voice low so I couldn't upset Molly
"We haven't met yet but..we will soon."The voice answered coldly."I'll enjoy making your life hell."It added with an unearthly laugh.
"WHO IS THIS!?"I demanded barely able to contain my voice.
"Why don't you ask Leon."It suggested."Ask her about the second to last of Changes victims."
I blinked, barely registering that Molly was in the doorway, a worried look on her face, llistening as the line went dead.
"Who was it?"She asked me, pulling me into a hug.
"I don't know.."I responded nuzzling her, doing my best to calm her."He said something about Changes second to last victim.."
"I heard...we need to all Leon."Molly said looking into my eyes."Our cubs were just born George...why did another crazy person have to trouble us?"She asked me, holding me close to her
"I'll call Leon as soon as I can."I assured her, rubbing her back gently."No matter who this guy is Molly, I wont let him harm you or the cubs."
My assurance seemed to work as she responded with a low rumble, which I returned happily.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As we got ready for bed, I went downstairs to make sure everything was locked down, feeling a bit paranoid after the strange phone call.
"Everything is locked up tight."I informed Molly when I returned to our room, seeing she was already in bed.
"I know George, thats not what i'm worried about."She said nuzzling me when I climbed into bed.
"I don't want you to worry at all, i'll take care of this."I said, putting my around around her
She nodded, but she still seemed worried."Good night George."She said closing her eyes
Laying back on the bed."Good night Molly."I said softly, closing my eyes and drifting off rather restlessly to sleep
Several times during the night we were awoken by the cubs cries of "Rah" which Molly responded to first. We alternated shifts, neither of us wanting to be to tired for tommorow. I didn't really complain about being woken up so many times during the night, knowing i'd be putting up with it for a while.
After my second shift with the cubs I fell into a deep sleep, my thoughts on the coming morning and the identity of the stranger who had threatened my family.
