Chapter 52:

Two days later, I was released from the hospital. I was grateful to be going home.

Nick and I had bought our own house shortly after the wedding. Desiree took my room at Starkid Manor so she could be with me, and now so she could ne with her godchildren too. Joey took Nick's room.

The house was big, but not too big. It had three bedrooms: one for Nick and I, one for June and Kevin, and one guest bedroom. It also had three full bathrooms: one with a shower and two with bathtubs. Our living room was plenty big, with a large TV, a sofa, a love seat, and an armchair. The kitchen was large too, with a big island in the middle. The dining room was attached to the kitchen. There was also a playroom for our kids, and an office that Nick and I shared. The backyard was pretty big, with an area fenced off where the pool was. There was plenty of space for our babies to play in when they got older.

As we walked through the door, Nick carrying Kevin and me carrying June, we were greeted by all our friends. There was a big banner that read 'Welcome Home June And Kevin!'

"What's all this?" I asked. There were signs and other decorations alternating between 'It's a boy!' and 'It's a girl!' There were also some decorations that said 'It's twins!' that were obviously homemade.

"We thought that since you never had a baby shower, we'd throw you one when you got back from the hospital." Lauren explained.

"Thanks guys! You're the best friends anyone could ever have." I said, attempting to hug everyone, which is hard when you have a baby in your arms. I ended up just letting them hug me.

"Can I hold my goddaughter?" Desiree asked.

"Of course." I said, handing her June.

"Can I hold Kevin?" Lauren asked Nick. He looked reluctant at first, but Lauren gave him the puppy dog eyes, so ended up letting her hold him.
