Why this must be read:

Although their screen time's rather limited I've always found the twins interesting, if only for the extra dimension they add to Miranda's character. But in this fic I love them in their own right. Beautifully written, with details that seem straight from a child's mind, I can't possibly describe the amount of love I have for this story.

When she first came out, Caroline had experienced a moment of indecision and refused to breathe for four whole minutes. “Wasn’t sure if we were good enough,” said Daddy, and Caroline liked that idea – her baby-self holding her breath, deciding.

Cass breathed right away, probably because she was already late. Cass always did everything fastfastfast. But it didn’t matter because they were too small anyways; Mummy and Daddy couldn’t take them home. Instead they spent their first month in an incubator, on their backs beside each other like upturned beetles. And maybe they remembered this feeling of helplessness, later, because they never turned anything on its back that couldn’t get up again (this mostly meant bugs in the garden at the old house, but sometimes people too).

As they grew up, they would learn their mother did not share the same philosophy.
