"Hi mummy!" Jesse ran to his mother as soon as he could and hugged her.
"Hey little man. Are you ready to meet your sisters?" she asked him, laughing at his excitement.
"Yeah! Can I help give them names? Please?" he begged
"We'll see. Look here they are." Sam sat on the chair beside Brittany's bed as two nurses came in, each carrying a baby.
"Can I hug them, mummy?" Jesse asked, watching as the tiny babies were put in his parents' arms.
"Not right now, Jesse. Maybe a little later, okay?" she turned to Sam as the nurses left saying they would be back shortly.
"Any ideas for names?"
"Alexis?" Sam suggested.
"Yeah. I like Briana."
"What about me? Can I choose a name too?" Jesse begged from his spot on the floor where he was sitting cross-legged. Sam looked at Brittany and she nodded.
"How about, you can choose their middle names?" Brittany asked the grinning boy.
"Yay! Can they be called Naomi and Nicola?" he asked, using the names of his favourite story book characters.
"Hmm...Alexis Naomi Evans and Briana Nicola Evans. I like that." Brittany said, again trying out the names together.
"So do I. Where's the nurse gone so she can make their tags?" Sam said, looking around.
"I'll go find her for you daddy." Jesse offered, getting up off the floor.
"No. Stay here. They'll come back. Would you like to hold one of your sisters now?" Brittany asked, patting the bed beside her for Jesse to sit.
"Yes please." He climbed up onto the bed. Sam stood up and handed Alexis to him, keeping his hands nearby for safety.
