Joseph and Jac walked proudly through the wards hand in hand, their free hands were cradling the little bodies of their son and daughter. Jac couldn't keep her smiles in, she was truly glowing. Walking through the wards and out the hospital was the end of the dark tunnel which had held them hostage for the past two days. Through-out the journey home, Jac couldn't help but turn around in her chair and peer at the two miracles her and Joseph made, Ethan's eyes were wide open he laid there staring back at his mum. Joseph took sneaky glances behind him to the twins being careful he didn't take his eye of the road for too long. Jac turned to look at Joseph who did the same. They shared a loving smile before clasping each other's hand and continuing their journey home.

'We're home babies' Joseph smiled as he and Jac unbuckled the twins and carried them inside.

The couple placed Ethan and Amelia in their bouncers in front of the sofa, Jac made her self comfortable in the corner of the sofa. Joseph strolled over with a well deserved coffee as they sat down and watched their children in awe.

Amelia was already becoming a mummy's girl, she had a little tuff of red hair in the middle of her soft head, her eyes were crystal blue, the only feature that belonged to Amelia that she inherited from her dad. Her button nose was inherited from her mother. If Amelia was to take after her mother, when she reached her teen years, then Jac and Joseph would struggle to keep her tame. They were awaiting the days when she would become rebellious and stubborn. Amelia in fact was going to be a double of Jac Naylor.

Ethan on the other hand was a daddy's boy he had a full head of chocolate brown hair, the same colour as Joseph. His eyes were a soft emerald green, when you looked into his eyes it was enough to melt your heart, this of course was one of his mother's genes. His eyes was the same shape and roundness as his fathers. They expected slightly different from Ethan. If he was to take after his father then he would be the 'quieter' twin, the one who buckled his head down and wouldn't get distracted easily. It was certain that Ethan was going to be a double of Joseph Byrne.

'I'm so proud of you Jac' Joseph muttered into Jac's hair.

'really? Why?'

' You've come so far in your life. I mean the whole situation with your mu-'

'Joseph, you don't have to bring that up. We've got two children now, lets not dwell on the past' Jac was doing her best to change the subject. As much as she trusted Joseph, she still didn't feel comfortable talking about her childhood to him.

'I know I don't have to bring it up, but I want to. When I first met you, I though you were a bitch, completely heartless. Then we had that whole hand contact when I couldn't find that piece of paper. Since then my views on you have changed. You've come so far in your life, to all the people that said you wasn't able to find someone who loves you.. well stuff them! Far as I'm concerned, you have found someone who loves you. That's me'

Jac responded by planting a kiss on Joseph's tender lips. Some would say it was magic, the way their lips connected to each others. The kiss was full of passion, lust and love. Jac placed her hand on his thigh, as he caressed her face. Their tongues still tangled together, Jac slowly pulls away before smiling. Joseph stared directly into Jac's eyes, trying to take in her beauty. She then nestles her head in his neck before saying 'I don't think this is appropriate, when we have two babies looking at us? Joseph couldn't help but smile. That was one of the reasons why Jac was so perfect for him, she made him laugh, one of the key points on in a relationship.

'Right Mummy, I think it's time we feed this beautiful children of ours' Joseph smiled

' Since when do you call me mummy?' Jac chuckled as she untangled herself from Joseph and arose from the seat.

'They say babies can understand what you say even when their as tiny as ours, so I thought I'd call you mummy, so it's easier for them to pick up' Joseph muttered as he lifted Amelia out of her bouncer.

'OK you do that then!' Jac smirked as she walked into the kitchen and started to make the milk. She carefully measured out two scoops of baby formula and emptied the spoon into the bottles. It was going to take time for Jac to get used to the whole process of making bottles and changing nappies, It was surely going to be an adventure.

Jac tested the heat of the milk before carrying both bottle's into the lounge. As she walked in and placed the bottle's on the coffee table, she turned around to look at Joseph who was sat upright on the sofa with a baby in each arm. The three of them had their eyelids closed and looked peaceful. Jac could felt the last of her ice-queen heart melt as she sat on the chair and watched her family sleep in front of her. Joseph awoke as he heard the house phone ring. Being restricted in movement, Joseph shouted for Jac who was sleeping in the chair opposite. Jac acknowledged the ringing and ran to answer it.

'Hello?' Jac muttered down the phone

'Jackie is that you?' The husky voice projected.

'Who's this? And my name is Jac'

'It's Paula, your mum'

Jac's body froze as she slammed down the phone, she hadn't heart from her mum since she gave away a kidney. Quite frankly, Jac didn't want anything to do with her. Jac had took her in after the operation,She gave her a warm home. In return she left Jac again and fled to her Grandad's, who she thought was dead. She turnt around and lend her back against the kitchen wall, she placed both her hands on her head. She couldn't understand why Paula would ring. Did she want another kidney? Or a different organ? Jac didn't do anything, she just stared into thin air, not breathing a word. Jac's silence was soon disrupted when the sound of crying pierced her ears

'JAC' Joseph shouted from the lounge

Jac sighed before walking back to the lounge, she walked over to Joseph and carefully scooped Ethan up in her arms, slowly rocking him back and forth. She rubbed his red cheeks with the side of her finger as she watched Amelia sleeping peacefully in Joseph's arms, his arms were wrapped around her little body protecting her, but not to tight so he was squishing her little limbs. Jac picked up the now cold bottle of milk. With Paula's strange phone call still swimming around in Jac's mind, she managed to push it to one side for a moment before walking back into the kitchen and re-heating the bottle. The sound of the microwave beeping shook Jac out of her day dream. Jac held the bottle to Ethan's mouth as he started to guzzle down the milk. It was the first time Jac had been able to hold Ethan close to her, she was able to feel his heart beating upon her pale skin. Ethan's little hand made its way to her chest, his hand opened wide as if he wanted to feel his mother's heart beating. A smile appeared on Jac's face as felt Ethan's hand on her chest. She stood by the window and gazed out into the garden. A little picture appeared in her mind of the twins as toddlers, roughly around 4 years old, as they run around the garden smiling and laughing. Her self and Joseph sat on two loungers watching their children grow up. Jac couldn't help but want this picture to become real.

Joseph's eyes slowly opened as he felt Amelia fidget on his chest. He turnt his head to look at the chair opposite but found it was empty. Carefully Joseph moved Amelia into his arms and strolled towards the kitchen. As he walked through the door, he saw the Jac's figure in standing by the window, her fiery red hair covering her shoulders as her body swayed in a rhythm in order to sooth a agitated Ethan. Joseph did the same thing as Jac; he placed the milk bottle in the microwave and heated it up. Joseph picked up the warm bottle and placed it in Amelia's mouth. He slowly walked over and stood next to Jac, she turnt to look at him and placed a small peck on his cheek. Jac placed Ethan over her back and slowly began to burp him, as she did so the phone began to ring again. Jac gritted her teeth and walked over to it, a small part of her believed that it was her mother again.

' Hello' Jac whispered down the phone

'Is Mr Byrne there' A deep voice spoke

'Joe, its for you' Jac said as she held the phone out to Joseph.

Joseph quickly put Amelia back in her bouncer before speaking on the phone. Jac sat in the chair trying to read his body language, but it was no good. Instead she bounced little Ethan on her lap, small laughs came from his mouth making Jac smile. For the first time, Jac felt proud of herself, she had brought two beautiful babies into the world. She just hoped that they didn't grow up to loathe her like she did to her own mother. Joseph placed the phone back down on its base and continued to feed Amelia.

'Joe who was that?' Jac asked as she sat back in her chair still bouncing Ethan in her chair.

'Oh no one, its alright' Joseph muttered

Jac raised one eyebrow before walking over to Joseph, and placing a hand on his shoulder 'Now Byrne, your not keeping secrets from me?'

'Jac I would never do that come on, you should know me by now'

' OK then I believe you, I'm going to put Ethan to bed, can you bring Amelia up after' Jac spoke softly as she pecked Joseph's cheek.

Joseph placed the now empty bottle on the side and burped Amelia, just his luck he felt a warm mixture spill down his back. Just what he need baby sick down his sweater, he strolled upstairs and entered his and Jac's bedroom. Slowly he put Amelia on their bed while he changed, he kept a close eye out for her just in case anything happened which was highly unlikely as she was only two days old.

When the twins were still in Jac's womb, the couple had decided that it would be nice for each twin to have something to get them to sleep or for comfort. They tried to come away from the idea of having dummies, as it would be harder to tear them away from them as they get older. However, they thought it wouldn't hurt for them to have a dummy sometimes. They had decided on Amelia having a light pink blanket which was a gift from Sahira and James, where-as Ethan would have a light yellow teddy preferably a fluffy duck Joseph had picked up on the way back from a late night. Jac picked up Ethan,who she dressed in a light green sleep suit which had little car's printed over, and grabbed the little duck before placing a soft kiss on his forehead. Gently she lowered him into his cot and pulled over the blue covers, not to far so he was fully covered. Joseph re-entered the room in a clean sweater, he sat on the floor with Amelia changing her. After a while, Joe picked Amelia, who was also dressed in a sleep suit but a white one with multicoloured flowers. Jac handed Joseph the blanket before they both kissed her forehead. Joseph did the same as Jac; he lowered Amelia into the cot and pulled over the pink covering.

Jac stood in the middle of the cots watching the babies sleep, she felt Joseph's muscular arm slip around her waist, she placed her hands on top of his as he planted gentle kisses down her neck 'Joseph you do know we are in the same room as our babies' Joseph didn't reply; he took Jac's hand and led her into their bedroom. Jac refused to be handled to much she was still sore from labour, which Joseph understood. Instead they laid on the bed. Jac was laid on her side while Joseph was behind her curled around her back, one of Joe's arms was around her stomach were just a few days ago their children were. Jac soft red hair laid neatly across her back as Joseph buried his head in it before saying ' That was the solicitor on the phone earlier, I'm officially divorced' Jac turnt around a smile before planting passionate kisses on Joseph's lips. In between kisses she whispered 'So your officially mine now'
