“What chan—” Jackson starts to relay, before he cuts himself off. “What? Holland, what—”

Summary
When that twin yawns, tiny face crinkling up and briefly swallowed by how big the yawn is for such a little creature, Holland huffs, his chest tightening like a squeezed toothpaste tube. “Can’t even fucking believe it.”
“Incredulous,” Jackson says. Holland makes an inquisitive sound, still watching their child like a fish in an aquarium. “Means ‘unable to believe something very surprising or shocking.’”
“I mean, I wouldn’t say I really find it shocking,” Holland protests. “I make cute kids, you seen my fucking kids?”
“I’ve seen them.”
“The best,” Holland insists as the younger twin finally closes his eyes all the way again. “Yes. There you go, kid. Good job. Not so hard, was it?”
or: holland remembers the twins' first day.
