Chapter 4 - Two week in

It was a normal day of the 18th December 2017 and Brendan and Ste where both at work, Leah, Lucas, where getting looked after by Declan and Paddy, Ste had opened the deli at 9:00am while Brendan had opened the club at 9:30am so he could get the rota's sorted out for after the new year, Brendan was in the office when his phone had started to ring.

" Hello is that Mr Brady - Hay." asked the man on the other end of the phone

" Yes this is Mr Brady - Hay, who is this."asked Brendan

" Hi Mr Brady - Hay my name is Patrick Andrews and I was looking in the paper and I came across your advert that you wanted to adopt a baby of your own with your husband is that right."asked Patrick

" Yes that is right."replied Brendan

" Well my daughter April is nearly due to give brith and she had realised that she won't be able to look after the baby any more seen as her boyfriend had dumped her and me and her mother can't look after the baby either as we work full time so that's how come we came across your name and she told me to phone you up right away."replied Patrick

" Oh right, what day will your daughter be giving birth."asked Brendan

" Well that's the thing she's in the hospital now and see wants to meet you and your husband now."replied Patrick

" Oh right I will go and get my husband now and well see you in 20mins which hospital are you all at."asked Brendan

" We are at the Hollyoaks hospital."replied Patrick

" Okay we won't be long."replied Brendan

Once the phone call had finished Brendan had closed up the club and went over to the deli to see Ste, lucky enough Ste wasn't serving any one so he went straight over to him.

" Bren what are you doing here."asked Ste

" There's no time to explain so can you follow me to the car and i will tell you once we are there."asked Brendan

" Okay then Bren."replied Ste

Once Ste had closed up the deli he followed Brendan to the car and they both got into it. As soon as Brendan had started the car up they made themselves away to the hospital, Ste was wondering why they had pulled up in the hospital car park for.

" Bren why are we here."asked Ste

" Well I had gotten a phone call from this man and he told me that is daughter was having a baby and she was ready to give birth today and he said that his daughter had wanted to meet us to see if we are good candidates for this baby."replied Brendan

" Omg that is good news."cried Ste

" Yes I know it is, so how about we get out of this car and go to meet this family and out son or daughter."asked Brendan

" Come on then."smiled Ste as he wiped away his tears

When they both got out of the car they went up to the hospital entrance and they looked up at the notice board and had seen that they needed to carry on walking for about 2mins and then turn right. When they got to the other doors they had opened up from the woman behind the desk.

They went up to the main desk and Brendan had asked the woman on reception what room the Andrews family where in, she wanted to know why Brendan and Ste wanted to see them for until he had said that Mr Andrews daughter was about to give birth and he had Ste where going to be the baby's adoptive parents. When Brendan had finished telling her why they where there for she had told them what room they where in and she let me go to the room.

When Brendan and Ste had got to the room Brendan had knocked on the door and Mr Andrews had opened the door.

" Hello who are you."asked Patrick

" You must be Mr Patrick Andrews we spoke on the phone, I'm Brendan Brady - Hay and this is my husband Steven Brady- Hay, how is your daughter doing."asked Brendan

" Well why don't both of you come in and have a look."

When they went into the room they went up to Patrick's daughter and introduced themselves to her.

" Hello there are you ok and what's your name."asked Ste

" Yes I am fine and my name is April."coughed April

" Well then April my name is Ste and this is my husband Brendan, we are the people that might be adopting your baby."replied Ste

" You two seem like nice people you can my babies if you want."smiled April

" Babies? You mean you ad two babies."asked a surprised Ste

"Yes."smiled April

She got up off the bed and she showed Brendan and Ste the two little trollies that the babies where in.

April had a 8lb 3oz baby boy and a 8lb 4oz baby girl. Brendan and Ste had realised that they had a son and daughter by the colour of the blankets they where wrapped up in.

April had picked up the baby boy first and she handed him to Brendan and the. She picked up the baby girl and she handed her to Ste. Both Brendan and Ste could not believe that they have two new additions to the family, Brendan had looked over to see Ste sitting on the end of the hospital bed crying so he went over to sir beside him.

" Bren I can't believe it." cried Ste

" I know." cried Brendan

" Thank you April."smiled Ste

" No thank you, I'm glad we found you 's in the paper and thank you for adopting the babies."smiled April

Brendan had asked April if she would of liked some money for herself until she got back on her feet after the birth, but she had told him not to be silly and to keep the money but she did say that she would like a picture of them now and again while they where growing up both Brendan and Ste had said yes. The mid-wife had came into the room to check on the babies and she said that they where allowed to go home.

April had said an emotional goodbye with her babies but she had also swapped numbers with Ste so they could keep in contact about the babies, April had placed a soft kiss on the babies foreheads and she also gave Ste and Brendan a little kiss on there cheeks and whispered 'thank you'. Mr Andrews had shook hands with Ste and Brendan and he gave them the adoption papers that needed to be signed now so they could send them off in the post in the morning. Once they had signed the papers and gave them back to Patrick he had showed Brendan and Ste that there car seats where here and they where at the end of the bed. Patrick that helped Brendan dan Ste put the babies in the car seats and they had all said goodbye to each other and Brendan had told April that they would phone here after Christmas to tell here how the babies are getting on.

When they had finished saying goodbye, Brendan and Ste had left the room with the mid-wife so they could go and and sign the release forms for the babies, once that had been done they had left the hospital and went back to the car, Brendan had opened the car door he planed the babies in the back seat and Ste sat in the middle of them so if they wake up crying Ste would get them back to sleep, once Brendan had started the car up they lefy the hospital car

park and they drove back home.

" Hey Bren what name did you put down for the boy."asked Ste

" I named him Joshua Brady - Hay, what did you put down for the girl Steven?"asked Brendan

" I called her Sophia Niamh Brady- Hay."smiled Ste

"Sophia Niamh Brady- Hay." cried Brendan

" Bren what's up."asked Ste

" Oh nothing I will tell you in the morning."smiled Brendan

Once they had pulled up at the house they had both forgotten to ring up Declan to tell them here they where going they had both got out of the car and got out the sleeping they had opened the front door after Declan had locked it they had noticed that Leah, Lucas, Declan and paddy where asleep on the couch all snuggled up together, Brendan had gave Joshua to Ste and he told him that he would be up shortly to give him a hand at putting the babies in there cot after he had placed a cover over the kids he had went into his bedroom and had noticed that Ste was holding Joshua while he had already placed Sophia Niamh down in the cot. Brendan went over to Ste and he took Joshua out of Ste's arms and placed him in the big cot as well, Brendan and Ste striped each other of there clothes and got in the bed and they passionately kissed each other until they had both stopped and fell asleep waiting for tomorrow to come so they could tell the kids that they had brought home there new baby brother and sister.
