Final chapter- Fly

"Zoe… can you come here please…" O oh this didn't sound could. Mummy shouted from the kitchen to me in the living room. I raced to kitchen nearly tripping over Max in the process, who was crawling wildly across the floor.

"Ouch Max !" he just looked at me and giggled. "No Funny Max" I went to the kitchen and sure enough I was in trouble.

I stomped through from the kitchen, having been told off for feeding Polly chocolate buttons (which made her sick) and then telling Mummy it wasn't me, Polly was a clever baby she could have very easily got them herself – well nearly. I walked off huffing and sat on the bottom step of the stairs. A couple of seconds later Daddy came and sat by me. He seemed just as happy as I did.

"Did Mummy send you to the Naughty step too?"

"Nope, I chose to come here" he said leaning his elbows on his knees.

"What did you do ? I fed chocolate Buttons to Polly…" I looked away a little guiltily as Daddy shook his head.

"Daddy's going to be in big trouble with Mummy… Zo." He looked at his watch occasional "You been her for your 5 minuets yet?" I nodded "Come on then, go say sorry to Mummy please and then she might not be in such a bad mood."

"I broke the pully thing in the bathroom too" I said donning big puppy dog eyes.

"What the blind? Zoe I just fixed that…"

"Don't tell Mummy please…" He looked at me smiling " I won't tell her you said a bad word yesterday…you said holy shi" He clamped his hand over my mouth.

"Yes fine ! stick together ?" Daddy held his fist out for me to fist bump him, he was trying to teach Max too but it just happened to make Max laugh. He was getting better though. I bumped his fist "You're a clever a kid Zoe"

I nodded "Mummy taught me well" I giggled and strolled off into the kitchen to apologise.

Somehow Max and Polly had both been sick now "I only gave them to Polls I promise"

"I know baby… I'm sorry I shouted, thank you for telling me the truth" It was as easy as that. Mummy hugged and kissed me tightly. I wasn't sure Daddy would get the same treatment though. Mummy didn't seem very happy with him. "Max got them off the side"

"Clever Boy" Daddy said swinging him up in the air. Bad Idea on Dad's part, because he got puked on. Me and Mummy just laughed. He was so silly it happened lots. Max started crying now because he'd been sick.

"Did Daddy make you cry baby boy? Ay…say meanie Daddy" Mummy held Max tight and cleaned him up, Max was a proper Mummy's baby I was too but Polly was all Daddy.

"Erm Lauren babe… I really need to talk to you…" Daddy stood cleaning his jumper in the sink trying to get rid of the sick.

"What have you done?" I decided then it was probably for the best if I left the room. Didn't mean I wasn't going to listen though. Daddy shut the kitchen door so I took the chance and listened in. The was a long pause "Joey, your freaking me out what have you done ?"

"Alright listen…don't freak right but remember last month when you said you felt ill… well I think I might be able to give you an answer to that…" I had no idea what Daddy had shown Mummy but she certainly didn't seem very happy by it.

"No, no, no Joey how could you be so stupid…out of date, how do they even go out of date" This was getting bad. I decided I'd heard enough and went off to Watch Peppa Pig.

"I don't know Lauren I'm not a scientist… I didn't realise until I went to get some more today and looked at this packet, I'm really sorry babe." Lauren stared at him leaning against the side of the counter inspecting with great detail, the dates and information on the back of the condom packet. Joey stepped forward "Babe, you do know there's only a really small chance that you could be…you know"

"Could be ? could be… I'd say you were pretty sure that I am and it would certainly provide a lot of answers to some questions wouldn't it?" Lauren slammed the packet down on the table and grabbed her keys off the side.

"Where are you going?" Joey asked lifting a grizzly Polly from the highchair.

"To the shops to get a test"

"No need…" he slid a paper packed across the work top to her "Go take it…"

Lauren followed the instructions to the letter on the packet and returned to the kitchen a while later. Joey had finished the rest of dinner and the twins were happily eating with Zoe. She slid into the chair next to Joey and rested against his shoulder. "Positive" she whispered in his ear. Her eyes attached to the three beautiful children she already had.

"Are you angry with me?" she shook her head and he raised an eyebrow

"Maybe a teeny tiny bit…we'll make it work wont we?" Joey looked down at her and nodded.

"We always do baby…always"

"Good because can I just say… I took a test three weeks ago and it came back positive I was just waiting for the right time to tell you" A huge smirk spread across her face as Joey shook his head.

"You have no idea how worried I've been all day Lauren! Ask Zoe I actually put myself on the naughty step" Lauren knew he wasn't joking but had to fight the urge to giggle.

"He did Mummy!" Zoe chipped in taking a final bite of her dinner. "Was Daddy really naughty?"

"Yes Very he'll be punished Later" Lauren said oh so seriously.

"Good luck Daddy ! she'll take your sweets for a week you know ?"

"I'll take more than sweets of Daddy" Joey swatted her across the arm and Looked at Zoe.

"Hey Zoe ? ever wanted another brother or sister ?" Her eyes brightened and nodded

"Yes Please! A sister though Max is Annoying ! I want another Polly!" she said making a silly face at Max who just Laughed.

"So if Mummy was to have another baby, say in 7months you'd like that?" Joey said smiling at Lauren.

"Is Mummy having a baby? Are you having a baby Mummy?" Zoe jumped up and down getting really excited. Lauren nodded her eyes widening in pleasure. "Yes! That's so cool"

"Right come on then Let's get you babies ready for bed… You wanna help with the Bath Zoe ?" she nodded. Joey lifted Max from the high chair as Lauren mirrored his movements with Polly. Their family was complete and it was perfect.

It had been a true journey of determination and they'd fought so much to get where they were but where they were was good. It was a big risk to take, but sometimes you just have to close your eyes and jump or you never learn to fly.
