Chapter 30
Coming Home
Thanks so much for reviewing. I can't believe it's chapter 30 already. This is in Sam's POV and now will be until told otherwise!
It had been two days since the twins were born and we were going home today. Tomorrow my twin sister Melanie will be visiting. It will be the first time of me meeting her. I was nervous. A twin sister I had never met. At the same time I was excited to meet the sister I never knew I had.
Freddie came into the room. He had been talking to the nurses about me being discharged from hospital.
"Hi," he said as he kissed my forehead.
"Hey, what did the nurse say?"
"She said you can leave in about an hour. I've signed the papers so all you need to do is pack now. Do you want me to do it?"
"Yes please. I'm going to go and get a shower."
"Okay."
I left Freddie as he began to pack. The twins were in the nursery where they kept all the newborn babies. Freddie and I were going to go and get them before we left.
When I came back Freddie had all my things packed.
"Are you ready to go?" he asked me.
"Yep. I'm so glad to finally get back to normality. I hate hospitals."
"I know. Let's go and get the twins."
Freddie went out to the car to bring in the two baby carriers. They were pink. I was at the nursery nursing Lilly when Freddie came back. He took Taylor from her cot and set her in the baby carrier and buckled her in. I did the same with Lilly and we took them out of the hospital and strapped them into the car. We drove back to the apartment. I had missed it so much.
We finally arrived. Back to the Treehill Plaza. I carried Taylor in and Freddie carried Lilly. I couldn't believe they were mine and Freddie's. it didn't seem real.
We reached the tenth floor of the apartment block. Then we reached our apartment. Freddie unlocked the door and we walked in.
There in our apartment there was all of my closest friends Wendy, Gibby, Carly, Griffin, Spencer, Abbey, Selena, Jack, Marissa, mum, dad, Holly and Josh. I was almost crying. There was banners: Congratulations it's twins, Congratulations on the birth of your twins and balloons. Carly ran over and hugged us.
"Do you like your little party Griffin and I organised?" she asked.
"I love it. Thank you so much Carly," I said.
We put the twins in their new cots and they fell asleep. Freddie and I went out to the living room to enjoy the rest of the party. Carly was the best friend anyone could have. She was amazing. I can't believe she would go to all this trouble to give Taylor and Lilly the best coming home party.
Freddie stood in front of anyone and whistled.
"Speech," he shouted loud enough for everyone to hear.
The room went silent.
"Sam and I want to thank you all for being here today for the coming home party of the twins. Sam and I are also so grateful to Carly and Griffin especially for throwing this amazing party and can't believe we are parents. I've always looked up to my dad as the best dad ever and sadly a few years ago he died. Not one day passes me by without thinking of him. I miss him so much and I hope to be like my dad to the girls. I would be happy if I was just half as good as him. So once again thank you so much to everyone here today."
The whole room clapped including me.
The party continued for a couple of hours and then we said our goodbyes to everyone and thanked them all for coming.
We cleaned up the living room and then we went into tuck in the twins. They looked adorable. So peaceful sleeping. I tucked them in and we watched them for about half an hour before heading of for bed. Our first night as a family.
Please keep reviewing this story. Thanks so much. I want at least 5 more reviews for the next chapter! ;)
