Single Mother - Of Twins!

I'm Amy Jones. I went to college with my best friend Grace Preston, and after graduation, I found a small place right next to her and Mark. It's not much - not yet, anyway - but it's all mine, which is more than I could've hoped for when I was a teenage newspaper girl.


I got a job in law enforcement, just as I always dreamed of; and to celebrate, I invited a friend from univeristy over. Somehow, that night, Alec and I crossed the line from friends into lovers. I didn't plan for it, it just happened.

Speaking of unplanned... that night had consequences. Almost right away after I was promoted to Captain Hero, I realized that I was pregnant. I tried to call of Alec to tell him, but it was hard to get hold of him. I guess being a mascot is a fulltime job.


Well, I did my best to prepare for the arrival of a baby. Imagine my surprise when I had not one child, but two! I named my sons Randall and Russell - Randall is a few minutes older than his brother.

For the next while, I had no time for anything but my boys. Life seemed to consist of feeding, changing, and cuddling one or the other, with an occasional nap in between - or when I didn't have time to sleep, a date with the energizer.


Soon the boys were toddlers, and then I seemed to have even less time. Teaching them to walk, to talk, to go potty... I'm worn out. I'm going to need help. Maybe I can ask a friend or two to move in with me.




Weird kids... Randall goes potty in his sleep, and Russell redefines the meaning of "in the bath."
