Chapter 5
Sorry for the lateness in the story I have had other things to do and then I had completely forgotten about it 'oops' here's the next chapter hopefully the sixth chapter wont take a long time to put up.
Brendan and Ste had woken up early the next day and they sat up on the bed replaying what had happened yesterday, they could not believe that they have got two new born little babies in there family now. Joshua had started to cry so Ste had went over to pick him up and he sat back down on the bed and he started rocking Joshua so that he could go back to sleep again and he did, Ste had wanted to ask Brendan a question but he did not know how to ask him about it.
" Bren can I ask you a question."asked Ste
" Go on then Steven." replied Brendan
" I was just wondering if you liked the name I had picked for our daughter." asked Ste
" Of course I do, why do you not think I like it." answered Brendan
" It's not that it was when you repeated it back it was like you did not like her middle name." sighed Ste
" The only reason why I had repeated it back for, was when Eileen had found out that she was pregnant she had also found out that we where having a baby girl so we where going to call her Niamh, but when Eileen had got further on in the pregnancy she had a miscarriage and we had lost our only daughter." said Brendan with tears in his eyes
" Oh my god Bren, I'm so sorry to hear that, I should of asked you what we where going to call her." cried Ste
" Steven it don't matter now, I'm glad you have named our daughter that." smiled Brendan as he kissed Ste
Once they had stopped kissing Sophia Niamh had started to cry so Brendan had went over to pick her up and he started to rock her and she fell back to sleep again, he sat on the end of the bed and Ste had moved closer to him.

Both Sophia and Joshua had started to cry so Brendan and Ste had went into the kitchen to make up some bottles for them.
" When do you think we should tell the others Bren " asked Ste
" Well I was thinking of waiting to tell the kids when they wake up shortly and I was gonna say why don't we phone up Chez, Amy, Pauline and Eileen later and ask them if they wanted to come back off there holiday for a week and we can do a big family Christmas dinner here." smiled Brendan
" Yup that sounds good." smiled Ste as he handed Brendan a bottle to feed Sophia
When Sophia and Joshua had finished there bottles, Brendan and Ste had winded them and they had changed there nappies and got them dressed, Declan, Paddy, Leah and Lucas had all came downstairs to see what Brendan and Ste where doing.
" What time did you all come to bed at." smiled Ste
" We finally got to bed at 11:30pm, why have you got two little babies." asked Declan
" We then kids say hello to your baby brother Joshua and baby sister Sophia - Niamh." replied Ste
Both kids had went up to Ste and Brendan and they had a look at there two new family members. Brendan gave Sophia to Declan and Ste let Leah have a hold of Joshua while she was sitting down so she did not drop him. Declan and Paddy, Leah and Lucas could not believe that they have got a new baby brother and sister. Declan had asked Ste if he could bring down his laptop so they could Skype Amy and Eileen, Ste had said yes but he had to wait until he put Joshua and Sophia in there cot as he wanted to show the others when they arrive next week.
When Ste and Brendan had put the babies back in there cot they went back into the living room and they told Declan that he could bring down his laptop so he and Paddy could talk to Eileen while Brendan would be on the phone to Seamus and Ste would be on the phone to Amy so they could tell them to come down for Christmas.

Once all of the phone calls where made Ste and Brendan had decided to take Leah and Lucas to the park for a little while and so they could have a picnic as well. When Ste had finished getting the food ready he had all so made up some bottles as well for the babies, once every thing was sorted he had told Declan and Paddy to help Leah and Lucas put on there coats and then Ste and Brendan had put Joshua and Sophia in there car seats and they only had one pram and they need to buy another one once they sales had started after Christmas, once every one was sorted they had all left the house and went to the park.

Once they had all of the picnic in the park they made themselves away back home so that they could drop off the picnic basket. Once they had arrived back at home Ste had got on the phone to April and he had asked her if she would like to come for Christmas dinner as well and she and told him yes and that she would be brining her mam and her dad and Ste had that it was ok. He had hung up on the phone and he told Brendan that April and her family where coming for the Christmas dinner as well so they could see the twins and Brendan had said that it was fine.
Once Ste had put he basket away they had all left the house again so they could go to the bus stop and get on the bus which had arrived when they did and they had all got on it. They where going into town so that they could get the last of there Christmas presents for every one, Brendan and Ste had decided on getting April something as well. Once they had got into town and had decided on going separate ways so they could get presents for other people, Declan and Leah had went with Ste and he took one of the car seats off Brendan which had Joshua in and Brendan went off with Paddy and Lucas and Sophia who was in the other car seat, they had all said that they would all meet up at the bus stop again so that they could get the bus home.

Once every one had found all of there things that they where giving there family for Christmas. Ste had phoned up Brendan and had asked him if he was at the bus stop and he had said yes, so with that Ste had walked back to the bus stop with Declan and Leah and Joshua, when Ste had seen Brendan at the bus stop and he gave him a kiss on the lips and they where all waiting for the next bus to take them home.
" Bren, do you ever think about selling the car to get a bigger car seen as we have got a bigger family now." asked Ste
" I was just thinking about that as well before you got here and yeah we should get a bigger car as it would help quite a lot won't it." smiled Brendan
" Yeah, maybe we should have a look after the new year Bren." smiled Ste
Once the bus had got there they had all struggled to get on the bud as they had a lot of bags with them, once they had sat down on the bus Ste had sat down beside Brendan and he had took hold of his hand and squeezed it.

Once the bus had stopped off out side of the village they had had to make sure that they had not left anything behind on the bus when they got off it. When they had all got to the house Brendan had opened the door and every one went in and the kids went to take there presents upstairs so no one could see what they had bought each other. Once Brendan and Ste had hid there presents, Ste went over to put the kettle on so that he could make a cup of coffee for himself and Brendan and he also made up some bottles for the twins as well, when that was done and the twins where fed and put to bed Brendan had phoned up for a take-away for himself, Ste and the kids, it did not take long for the food to come so Declan had payed the man and told him to keep the change and he shut the door and locked it.
Once everyone had finished Ste had taken the dishes to the kitchen and washed them and he left them on the side to be put away later, when he went back into the living room he had seen that the kids had fallen to sleep and so had Brendan, he had woken them up quietly and he told them to go to bed bed and they did. Brendan had gotten up off the couch and he took hold of Ste's hand and he lead him to the bedroom and once they where in there they had stripped each other of there clothes and they laid facing each other and they kissed each other for a little while and they had both fallen to sleep straight away.
Like I said at the beginning of this chapter I'm sorry for the long wait to any one who has been reading this story and that it's taken me about a month to update it. Chapter 6 might be the last chapter I don't know yet.
