A/N: The end is close for this storyline. I think 1 or 2 chapters left.
"G?" Rebecca called.
A few seconds later Callen stuck his head around the door. "Hey honey."
"Hey G, where are the girls?"
"There are here with me. Your colleagues came by and they wanted to see the girls. Since you were asleep I just took them outside."
"Okay good." Rebecca was relieved that the girls were okay.
Callen walked back into the room with the girls and Rebecca's colleagues. They quickly congratulated Rebecca before going back to work.
"Hey mommy," Callen spoke as he handed the girls to Rebecca.
"Hey you two." Rebecca gave both girls a soft kiss on their heads before she turned her head to Callen and gave him a kiss.
"Did you have a good sleep?"
"Yes I did. Thank you for looking after the girls last night."
"It's my pleasure."
Cassie had decided to start crying. Rebecca handed Maddie over to Callen so she could feed Cassie. Rebecca exposed her breast and Cassie immediately latched on.
"There's a good girl."
Callen and Rebecca smiled as they heard Cassie making little suckling noises. While Rebecca was feeding Cassie Maddie decided to start crying too.
"It's okay little girl," Callen tried to calm her down but she was hungry too. "Mommy is almost done with feeding your sister."
Callen tried to get her to suck on her pacifier but she wouldn't take it. He let her suck on his finger which helped for a little while. As soon as Cassie was done drinking Rebecca handed her over to Callen for burping so she could feed Maddie.
"It's okay Maddie, it's coming." Rebecca put Maddie on her breast. As soon as the nipple was in her reach Maddie starting sucking. "There that's better huh."
When Maddie was done drinking Rebecca put her over her shoulder for burping. Just as she was burping Maddie the doctor walked in.
"Good morning, how are we doing?"
"We're doing fine. The girls just ate."
"That's good. The girls can go home today but I would like to keep you here for a few more days."
"Is that really necessary?"
"Yes, you had surgery so you need to stay here a little longer."
"Can Greg and the girls stay here with me during the day?"
"You know the hospital rules Rebecca, only during the visiting hours."
"Yeah I know," Rebecca replied in a sad tone.
"They can stay here today until the afternoon visiting hours are over."
"Okay thank you."
"Now, can I check your incision please?"
Rebecca handed Maddie to Callen as well so that the doctor could check her incision. The doctor pulled the bandage off carefully and inspected the wound. "It all looks good, no infections." The doctor put a new bandage on the wound before leaving the room.
"Will you be okay at home without me for a few days? And what about work?"
"Of course I will be Bec, don't worry. I can handle it and if I need some help with the girls I will call Sam. I'm sure he and Michelle don't mind to help out a bit if needed. Hunter gave me an extra week off so don't worry honey, I'll be home so I can take care of the girls."
"Okay good. I will miss you three while I'm stuck in here."
"I know honey, we'll miss you too. But it's just for a few days."
"Yeah I know but I still hate the fact that I can't go home with you guys just yet."
"I know honey, me too."
Callen stayed until the visiting hours were over.
"Bye my little girls. Be good to daddy." Rebecca gave both girls a kiss before she handed them over to Callen.
Callen placed both girls in their car seats, which Sam had brought with him too. Callen turned back to Rebecca and gave her a kiss.
"You can call me anytime okay," Rebecca told Callen.
"I will but trust me honey, we'll be fine."
"Okay. Will you be back tonight for visiting hours?"
"Yes of course, 7pm right?"
"Yes 7pm. You do remember how to feed them and to warm up the bottles?"
"Yes, I'll put the bottles in the fridge once I get home and when they are hungry I will warm them up in the bottle warmer. And then I'll test it on my hand to make sure it's not too hot. After they have been fed I will hold them over my shoulder until they burp. Don't worry honey, I've got this."
"Okay. I'll see you tonight."
"See you."
Callen gave Rebecca one more kiss before he took the car seats and went downstairs. He strapped the kids into the car before getting in himself. Once home he placed the girls in their playpens. Callen took his phone out and took a picture of them to send to Rebecca.
Rebecca grabbed her phone when she heard the beep. She saw that she had a message from Callen. She smiled when she saw a picture of Maddie and Cassie lying in their playpens.
'Thank you honey. They look so cute.'
'Yes that they do. Don't worry about us honey. We'll be fine together. I love you.'
'I love you too.'
Callen turned the music mobiles above the playpens on and soon after that the girls fell asleep. Callen took another picture and sent it to Rebecca as well. He missed having her here. He hoped he would be okay with two little girls at home. He loved his little girls so much already. Sam was right, there was nothing like seeing your babies for the first time. While the girls where asleep Callen went to put the presents they had gotten away.
About two hours later Cassie woke up and she was hungry. Callen warmed the bottle up as he held a crying Cassie in his arms.
"It's okay sweetie, it's coming. Shh, it's coming sweetie."
Once the bottle was warm Callen walked over to the couch. He sat down with Cassie in his arms. He tested the milk on his hand to make sure it wasn't too hot before he put the pacifier in Cassie's mouth. Cassie immediately took the pacifier and started drinking.
"There, that's better huh sweetie."
Once Cassie finished her bottle Callen put her over his shoulder for burping. Just as Cassie burped Maddie woke up and started crying, she was hungry too. Callen put Cassie back in her playpen and picked Maddie up and fed her too. He changed the girls' diapers before putting them in the car. He put the stroller in the back and drove to the mall. Before going to the grocery store he stopped by Target. He wanted to buy some baby clothes. He pulled the stroller out and put the girls in there. He walked into the store and went to the baby department.
He bought a bodysuit with koalas on it, a blue skirt with cherries on it and a pink, white dotted shirt with a cherry on it, a white bodysuit with blue edges and cutie with a cherry on it, a blue/green top with a bunny on it and white short pants with green, pink and yellow flowers on it, a romper with orange and white waves, a pink pajama, a white pajama with bunnies on it, a blue pajama with two bunnies on it, a pink striped bib with in green letters the text yummy yummy in my tummy, a white bib with pink ends and the text eat dessert first and a white bib with flowers on it. He bought two of everything so they had matching outfits for the girls. Some of the thinks he bought he put in the baskets he made. He had seven presents already so three more presents had to be added. He decided to put the bodysuit with the koalas, the pink pajama and the white bib with flowers on it in the baskets.
"Oh my, look at those little cuties," the cashier spoke as Callen went to pay. "How old are they?"
"They were just born yesterday."
"Oh my, congratulations."
"Thank you."
Callen paid for the stuff. He put the bags into the car and went to the grocery store. Once the groceries and the girls where in the car Callen drove home.
Just before 7pm Callen went to the hospital with the girls. He had taken the baskets with him. He put the girls in their stroller and put the baskets underneath them on the frame.
"Hey honey," Callen spoke as he pushed the stroller into the room.
"Hey baby." Callen put the stroller on the side and went to give Rebecca a kiss. "How did our little girls do?"
"They did very well. They slept a few hours and I fed and changed them. And we went to do some shopping. I haven't fed them now so they'll probably will be hungry soon, I figured you could feed them."
"Thank you honey, that's sweet of you."
"And I brought you these. I had them already but I put in some more presents so they are finished now. I made two baskets, one for each baby and since I didn't have them with me yesterday you can pick two presents out of each basket."
"Thank you G, that's really sweet of you."
Callen handed the first basket to Rebecca and she picked out two presents. The first package was a doctor green colored bib with a stethoscope on it.
"Oh my god G, this is so cute. Thank you."
Rebecca opened the other present. It was a little duck for in the bath. Callen handed the other basket to Rebecca and again Rebecca took two presents out of it. This time she got the bodysuit with koalas and the pack with two pacifiers, one with a moon on it and the other with a sleeping owl on it.
"Thank you G, these are really cute."
Rebecca gave the gifts to Callen and he put them on the table. Rebecca then saw the basket that her sister had brought.
"G, can you hand me that basket please? I haven't taken two gifts out of that one."
Callen handed the basket to Rebecca and Rebecca took two gifts out of it. The first gift was a pink stuff bear and the second gift was a pink towel hoodie. Just after Rebecca finished unwrapping the second present Maddie decided to cry.
"I think she's hungry honey," Callen said and gave Maddie to Rebecca.
Rebecca breastfed Maddie and after that Cassie. Rebecca held the little girls as they fell asleep in her arms. Callen had taken the camera with him and took a picture of his three girls. After a while Callen placed the girls in their stroller so they could sleep in there and he sat on the bed next to Rebecca.
"They are so freaking adorably cute," Rebecca stated.
"Yes they are and I love my three little girls. Thank you for making me a daddy."
"I love you and the girls too. You're welcome. Thank you for making me a mommy," Rebecca replied and she gave Callen a kiss. They stopped kissing when there was a knock on the door. "Come in."
To Rebecca's surprise Brian walked into the room in his cammies.
"Hey sis," Brian greeted.
"Hey Brian, I didn't think you'd be back already."
Brian gave his sister a hug. "I just got back, the mission ended sooner than we thought. Dad told me about my little nieces so I decided to come straight here. Congratulations."
"Thank you Brian."
"Congrats to you too G."
"Thank you."
"So where are my two cute little nieces?"
"They are asleep in the stroller."
Brian looked over the stroller. "Oh my Bec, they are so cute. What are their names?"
"Madison Eva and Cassidy Amy. Maddie and Cassie for short."
"Those are nice names. You gave her mom's name as a middle name?"
"Yes we did."
"I bought you some presents."
"Thank you Brian. You are all too generous."
There were four packages. Rebecca opened the first one and pulled out two navy green bodysuits with a little navy baby on the front and the text: too cute to recruit.
"Aww, these are too cute."
The other packages revealed two pink t-shirts with camo colored letters: I love my navy uncle, two cute little navy blue sailor dresses with matching hats and two dresses with a white top and a camo bottom with a pink bow in between.
"Thanks bro, these are really cute, I'm sure they will look great in them."
"You're welcome sis."
A little later Cassie started fussing.
"Can I?" Brian asked.
"Sure."
Brian picked Cassie up from her stroller. "Hey there little cutie. I'm your uncle Brian." Brian gently rocked her in his arms and Cassie snuggled against her uncle. "Aww, she's just too cute."
"Yeah they both are."
"She has your blue eyes G."
"Yeah I noticed that too, they both do," Callen replied.
Cassie lay there in Brian's arms sucked on her pacifier. Callen took the camera out and made a picture. Brian got to hold Maddie too before visiting hours were over. Rebecca gave both girls a kiss before Callen put them in their stroller. He also gave Rebecca a kiss.
"Bye honey, I'll see you tomorrow morning."
"Yes, I can't wait. I'll miss you three tonight."
"We'll miss you too. Don't worry about the girls, I've got them."
"You can always call me if you need me, even in the middle of the night."
"I know but I'll be fine."
"Okay. See you tomorrow."
Callen gave Rebecca one more kiss. "Bye honey."
Callen took the presents Rebecca had already opened back home with him. Together with Brian he walked out.
"I'm really happy for you two," Brian spoke as he and Callen stood in the elevator.
"Thanks, yeah me and Bec are very happy too. The girls are just so cute."
"Yeah they really are. Take good care of them and my sister."
"I will Brian, I love them so much."
"Yeah, I can see that."
Once in the parking lot they said goodbye and Callen walked to his car. He put the girls in their car seats, put the stroller in the trunk and got in himself. The girls where asleep in their car seats so Callen took the car seats out of the car once he was home. He carried them upstairs and carefully placed them in their cribs. He had already put their pajamas on before he left for the hospital. He looked as his two little girls sleeping in their cribs. They looked so cute. He took his phone out and made a picture of both girls.
Rebecca grabbed her phone when she heard the beep. She had a message from Callen, she opened it.
'Hey honey, our girls are sleeping peacefully in their cribs.'
Rebecca looked at the pictures attached to it. It was so cute. Maddie and Cassie looked so darn cute.
'Thank you G. They look so cute. Please give them a kiss for me. I love you.'
'Yes that they do, I will. I love you too Bec.'
Rebecca missed Callen and the girls but she had to stay in the hospital for a few more days. She just hoped Callen would be okay with the two little girls at home.
Callen stayed in the girls' room just looking at his girls for a while before going downstairs. He couldn't quite believe how his life had turned out after meeting Rebecca. He never thought he would have this all but here he was with a wife and two little girls and a house of his own and he loved his life. He wouldn't want to change it for anything in the world.
Just before going to bed Callen fed and changed both girls. Callen was about to get into the bed when he remembered the baby monitor. It was still in the girls' room. He quietly went into the room and grabbed the monitor. He put the baby monitor on his nightstand and got in the bed. Callen couldn't really sleep that night, he was too busy listening to the baby monitor in case something would be wrong with the babies. He had to go out a few times to feed or change the babies. At 6am he finally fell asleep but it was only for about two hours. Cassie and Maddie had decided it was time to wake up and they started crying. Callen picked Maddie up first and changed and dressed her in the cherry outfit. He placed her back in her crib so he could dress Maddie but Cassie wasn't having any of it.
"Just a minute sweetie, daddy is just dressing you sister."
Callen dressed Maddie in the same outfit before picking Cassie back up. With both girls in his arms he walked down. He put Maddie down in her playpen as he went to warm up a bottle for Cassie. Cassie was crying in Callen's arms since she was hungry.
"It's okay sweetie, it's coming."
Once the bottle was warm Callen sat on the couch and fed Cassie. As he was feeding Cassie Maddie decided to start crying since she was hungry too.
"Yes sweetie, I know you're hungry. Daddy will feed you once he's done with Cassie. It was hard listening to Maddie's cries but Callen only had two hands and they were busy feeding Cassie. Maddie was crying louder and louder in her playpen. Callen took a little break from feeding Cassie so he could warm up a bottle for Maddie as well. Once the bottle for Maddie was warm he went back to the living room. He placed the two bouncy chairs on the table and put Cassie in it and then Maddie. He grabbed the two bottles and fed both girls. Maddie immediately started drinking as soon as the pacifier was in her mouth.
"There, that's better huh Maddie."
Cassie finished the rest of her bottle. Once Cassie was done with her bottle Callen put Maddie's bouncy chair on the couch and continued feeding her as he put Cassie over his shoulder for burping.
It wasn't easy but he managed to feed both girls. Just as he was finished burping Maddie there was a knock on the door. With Maddie in his arms he went to open the door.
"Hey Sam," Callen said surprised.
"Hey G, I thought I'd just come by to see how you and the girls were doing."
"Thanks Sam, come on in. I just finished feeding them."
"How did the first night at home go?"
"It was fine, didn't get much sleep though."
"Oh yes, the sleepless nights. I remember those. How's Rebecca?"
"She's fine, a little bit bummed she couldn't come home with us just yet."
"Ah yes, I can imagine. I just can't believe that you have two little twin girls."
"I know me neither, I never thought I would have this but I'm very happy that I do."
"Yeah, everyone can see that you love Rebecca and the girls very much."
"Yeah I really do."
"Well I'm off to work. If there's anything, anything at all you can give me a call."
"I know Sam, thanks. Have you heard anything from Hetty?"
"No, not much. I called Nell a few times as she said she was still recuperating. Today's the first day back after the holiday break so I'll see if Nell knows more. I'll let you know when I do."
"Great, thanks."
Sam left and Callen put Maddie back in her playpen. He cleaned the bottles out and put them back in the baby bag so Rebecca could fill them with breastmilk again.
Just before 10am he loaded the kids into the car and drove to the hospital.
Rebecca lay there anxiously in her bed waiting for Callen and the little girls. It was now almost 10.30am and Callen still wasn't there. Rebecca wondered where Callen was.
