Ike picks up her guitar and, hand in hand with Monty, walks over to the booth. He helps sit on the edge of the table. She strums a few chords. Voices fall silent. Her soft voice echoes in the quiet room.

He finally gave in to his friend's girlfriend
When she said, "there's someone you should meet"
At a crowded restaurant way cross town
He waited impatiently
When she walked in their eyes met
and they both stared
And right there and then everyone else disappeared but

One boy, one girl, two hearts beating wildly
To put it mildly it was love at first sight
He smiled, she smiled, and they knew right away
This was the day they'd waited for all their lives
And for a moment the whole world revolved
Around one boy and one girl

In no time at all they were standing there
In the front of a little church
In front of their friends and family
Repeating those sacred words
Preacher said, "son kiss your bride"
and he raised her veil
Like the night they met time just stood still

One boy, one girl, two hearts beating wildly
To put it mildly it was love at first sight
He smiled, she smiled, and they knew right away
This was the day they'd waited for all their lives
And for a moment the whole world revolved
Around one boy and one girl

He was holding her hand when the doctor looked up and grinned
"congratulations, twins"


Ike plays a few more notes, ending the song. She leans over and kisses her brother's cheek. Monty steadies her as she tilts a bit too far. She grins.

"Sorry Alise. You don't need me in your lap too." She laughs. "I will teach you lullabies for the wee ones. Not those archaic things about falling out of trees and stuff. We will find some good ones."

She laughs and picks out the notes to Baby Mine. "Disney always has some good songs. Even if he does tend to give gargoyles half bodies..."
