The crowd of strangers sitting there in anticipation to be amused, three men standing in silence on a small stage and taking a minute to diminish their anxiousness. Even after doing countless shows in the South, Elvis grew nervous each time he got onto the stage in front of big crowds. He got into a natural rhythm during the first song however. The twins were waiting on their daddy backstage with one of the stage hands that agreed to look after them until the end of the show

"Da!" Jack's eyes lit up when his father came over, breathless and sweaty from another successful performance

"Hey tiger. Were you a good boy?" Elvis smiled as he took the kids from the stage hand, thanking him and taking the twins to his dressing room to change their diapers. Normally he had his mother or Dodger change their dirty diapers but he had to learn how to do it since they depended on him

Scotty and Bill came into the dressing room to change out of their stage wear, eager to hit the road and head back to Memphis. "As soon as I get home I'm calling my sweetheart." Bill tossed his black tie onto the dresser

"I've got a date with a blonde. What about you, El?" Scotty shot a glance his way

"I don't have time for dating anymore. Besides, who'd want to go out with a single father like me?" Elvis dodged a steady stream of pee from Jack who giggled at his dirty little trick

He would certainly be a devious little child the older he got

"You'll find the right dame eventually. They always come to you when you least expect it."

Tilly was sucking on one of her dad's fingers while he talked to Scotty and Bill on the drive home where he was sitting in the back seat, Jack fast asleep beside his father. Everything was going fine until his index finger felt bare, no longer having the feeling of a cool metallic ring around it. Just as he looked down at Tilly in his hold, she made a funny noise while swallowing

"Aww, honey no! You weren't meant to swallow that!" He began to panic, Scotty and Bill glancing back at him in confusion. "She swallowed my ring I got from Dixie." He explained

"It'll be ok. Tilly will give it back in a little while when you go to change her." Bill chuckled

Elvis grimaced at the very thought of rummaging through his daughters used diaper just to retrieve a piece of jewelry, the mischievous baby staring up at him in complete innocence

"She can keep it." He said

The twenty year old got home around almost midnight, doing his best to stay quiet with the kids when he got into the apartment since everyone else was asleep. When he got to his bedroom he changed the twins diapers one last time for the night before getting them ready for bed and placing his weary children into their cribs as he hummed a lullaby

He sauntered over to his dresser after turning on a lamp at his bedside and looked at a picture he had tucked in the upper right hand corner. It was a photo of himself with Dixie when they had gone on a little trip to Riverside Park here in Memphis
