Moroccan and Monroe are finally ready for their closeup!

Nearly six months after welcoming a twin boy and girl -- their first -- Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are ready to introduce their bouncing babies to the world.

PHOTOS: Mariah and Nick's love story

And Barbara Walters, naturally, is just the woman to help them do it! The ABC vet sat down with Carey, Cannon plus son Moroccan and daughter Monroe, born April 30, in the family's NYC pad.  Grammy-winner Carey, 41, announced the news on her website: "Mariah and Nick recently sat down with Barbara Walters in their New York apartment to discuss Mariah's pregnancy, their marriage, their beautiful baby twins Monroe and Moroccan and much more."

The 20/20 interview -- and the first real glimpse of the couple's kids -- airs on ABC Oct. 21 at 10 p.m.

The couple's two kids might not be the only big reveal on Friday's show: Carey has been slimming down big time since giving birth.

"She's so focused right now on every aspect. She's going to come back and knock out the world," Cannon, 30, told Us Weekly in mid-September. "She's getting in shape."

"At two months she was walking around in a bathing suit," he said. "I personally think she's going to come out looking better -- looking like it's 1990! I think that's what she's aiming for, and I think she'll reach that goal."

    @Gena Fischer Yes they call them Roc n Roe among other Nicknames and so what all parents have Nicknames for their kids. nor are they the first celebs to wait until the babies are more than 6 weeks old to show them to the public for the first time and when it comes to losing the baby wieght Mariah can't lose all of it because she's breast feeding and doctors recomend you keep 5-10lbs of what you gained while you were pregnant until you wean your child/children for milk production. Barbara Walters will give Mariah credit for that unlike the rest of the media. it was her & Nick's choice to do it this way and I for one admire them for that the kids didn't ask to be born of famous parents
