Again everyone I thank you for continuing to read this story.
After hanging up the phone he looked over at Fiona who was looking down at Devin with love written all over her face. Adam looked down at Kaylynn's face and met her eyes. She had eyes similar to his. Big and blue. He smiled to himself as he thought
'Oh man am I in trouble' he knew she was going to have him wrapped around her little finger. There was no question he was going to spoil her and Devin rotten.
"Do you want to trade?" Fiona asked, breaking the silence.
"Yeah" he replied as he walked over and put Kaylynn in her free arm then grabbed Devin.
"Hey there. I'm your daddy. Try to take it easy on me ok? This is my first time and I have no idea what I'm doing. But I promise to do my best ok?" Adam smiled and shook Devin's tiny fist as if he was sealing the deal with a handshake.
Fiona chuckled as she watched. Completely enamored with her new family.
Mmmmmmmmm
"Let me see them!" Laura Coyne said loudly as she walked in with Audra. Laura had made sure to stay in Toronto once Fiona hit eight months in her pregnancy. Since Laura had given birth to twins before she had warned Fiona that she might go into labor within the eighth month. Or possibly even earlier.
"Here you go" Adam smiled as he handed Devin over to her carefully. Audra beamed as she sped past Adam to Fiona's side and was handed Kaylynn. Kaylynn instantly began to fuss since she was warm and comfortable in Fiona's arms. Adam chuckled and watched his mom begin to gently rock her.
"It's ok sweetheart. Grandma is here. "
"I feel such relief right now" Fiona stated.
"Once they're out it's like the world was lifted off of your shoulders... Or should I say belly?" Laura laughed as she rocked Devin to sleep.
"They are so precious" she continued.
"I can't believe how small they are considering all of the hell they put us through" Adam said
"Us?" Fiona questioned
"Ok mostly you. But you know I stayed up with you so you can't take all the credit"
"I wouldn't call it taking the credit" she laughed
Adam quickly changed topics "you know they're sending us home later today. Could you two stick around and help me get Fiona and the kids home?"
"Of course!" They replied in unison.
"Are you going to have people visit once you get home?" Laura asked
"I kind of just want to rest for the night. I'm really tired" Fiona answered
"I was asking so I could figure out how much food to order."
"I'm not really hungry but I'm sure Adam could eat"
"My princess knows me well" he smiled.
"Are we the only ones who know the twins were born?" Audra questioned
"Yeah we haven't called anyone else. I was in labor for twenty four hours. I wasn't in the mood to make any more calls and have this place filled up."
"Funny how the first one is usually the hardest to push out then the rest fly out" Audra laughed.
"Kaylynn was just as hard to push out as Devin" Fiona frowned.
Adam gently placed his hand over Fiona's and began to rub his thumb over her palm to comfort her.
"You were amazing. I don't know how you did that."
"Thank you my handsome prince" Fiona replied with the biggest smile on her face.
Mmmmmmm
Getting home was a lot more work than the happy couple expected. Between helping Fiona into the car and adjusting then readjusting each car seat Adam was drained. Once they arrived Fiona and Adam crashed onto the couch as Laura and Audra fed the babies and got them to sleep.
"Do you remember your first night home?" Laura asked as she stood near the dishwasher after loading it.
Audra smiled as she cleaned the counter with paper towels "Like it was just yesterday. Drew was so fussy. He didn't want anyone else but me. Then I realized he just wanted to be against breasts. I shouldn't be surprised at how he turned out"
Both of them began to laugh loudly. Laura now curious about Adams personality when he was younger she decided to ask.
"And how was Adam as a baby?" She asked. Careful not to use the wrong term when phrasing the question.
"Adam was the most gentle and quiet baby you could ever imagine. He never gave me trouble... I gave him trouble." Audra stated as she turned her head and paused. After a moment she began to speak again "I wish I would've just accepted him from the beginning. I couldn't let go of Gracie and it strained our relationship. It took many years to get where we are now."
Laura nodded softly then replied in a calm and soothing voice "put the past behind you. Look at the gorgeous man you raised. You should take pride in who he's become"
