Your children would be the second cousins of your first cousin's children.

Yes.



>     Does a second cousin once removed exist? Twice removed?



Yes. A second cousin once removed would be your parent's second cousin.

A second cousin twice removed would be your grandparent's second cousin.



Having said all that, let me caution you not to believe its accuracy unless

somebody else confirms it. I have almost no cousins (no first cousins at

all) and am not into this stuff as much as other people probably are.
