Chapter 31:

Spencer's POV:

It has been a whole year since the death of the twins. I did go off drinking a couple times after the first, but went to rehab and got it under control. I have found a way to cope with the loss and that to just think about them and think about what we could have done. I know you might think that I shouldn't do that, but it's what helps me.

Toby: Come on Spencer, we are going to be late.

We are on our way to our children's school play. We are now sitting in the packed hall. We are sitting with Aria, Ezra, Hanna and Caleb. Their kids are in it too.

Isabella: Welcome to our play. I've been asked to tell you to make sure your phones are turned off and that no photography of filming is allowed. Thank you.

Isabella walks off stage and then it begins. The first scene is Jade and Jacob and a few other students.

Student 1: Goodnight, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite! What, you want to hear another one? But it's a school night! Ok, ok. Let's here a fairy tale.

Jade: Excuse me Teller. I don't think they want to hear a boring fairy tale. They probably want to hear a story of fun.

Student: Ok, you do what you want then!

The student walks off and it's just Jade, Jacob and two others.

Jacob: I know! Let's do Romeo and Juliet!

Jade: No! Wicked!

Jacob: Romeo and Juliet!

Jade: Wicked!

Jacob: Romeo and Juliet!

Oliver: Excuse me? Can you keep it down? Baby Elphaba is sleeping! And so is my wife, Juliet!

Jade: Wait, so your wife is Juliet from Romeo and Juliet and your baby is called Elphaba from wicked?

Oliver: Yes! Now keep it down.

Toby's POV:

April: Oh Romeo, do come back to bed.

Oliver: I'm coming my love.

Jade: Something has changed within me. Something is not the same. I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game. To late for second guessing, to late to go back to sleep. It's time to trust my instinct, go get them man that's inside the mansion sleeping right now.

The crowd laugh.

Jade: I have to think of a way to get Romeo to marry me.

Jacob: Are you crazy?

Jade: Maybe, but this might be my one shot.

Jade leaves the stage.

Jacob: Everyone listen! When my friend comes back on stage, make sure you yell 'Don't do it Jade! Ok, let's have a practice. I'll pretend to be Jade.

Jacob exits the stage and then walks on. We all yell what he told us to.

Jacob: Perfect. Be quiet, she's coming.

Jade enters the stage.

Everyone: DON'T DO IT JADE!

Jade: Oliver, how many times? Eat with a plate.

We all laugh as Jade pretends to clear some crumbs.

Jade: Jacob, I've found out something brilliant beyond brilliant.

Jacob: Please do tell me before I melt from this rain.

Jade: I found out that Romeo and Juliet are not actually married, so their child was born out of wedlock. If Juliet's father finds out, he'll go ballistic and then he'll be forced to marry me, Jade Capulet.

Jacob: I can't stand the thought of you dying alone, so do it and I will sleep happy tonight.

About 30 minutes later, the play ends. All the cast line up on stage and bow.

Spencer's POV:

Toby: That was amazing kids.

Mason: Thanks dad.

We get home and the kids play in their rooms. I'm standing in the kitchen and Toby switches on the stereo. On comes our song and we find ourselves dancing.

Toby: I love you.

Spencer: I love you to.

A few hours later, we find ourselves asleep. I wake up the next morning because my phone was ringing loudly. It's the hospital.

Spencer: Hello?

Hospital: Is this Spencer Cavanaugh?

Spencer: Speaking.

Hospital: Hi. A woman came in with her children as they had bad fevers, and something came up, involving you and your husband.

Spencer: Can I ask why it involves us?

Hospital: I think you should be told face to face.

Spencer: Ok. What time shall I come down and whom will I be speaking to?

Hospital: Come down as soon as possible and you'll be speaking to the head of the children's ward.

Spencer: Ok. Thank you.

I end the call and so many different scenarios wash over my brain. I wake Toby up and we get the kids ready. We drop the kids at a friends house and go to the hospital. We are now sitting with the head of the children's ward.

Doctor: I'm sure your very confused and I totally understand. This doesn't happened very often, but it has happened before.

Spencer: What?

Doctor: I hate to bring this up, but a year ago, what did you name your twins?

Toby's POV:

Toby: Lily-Rose and Tommy-Joe.

Doctor: And what were their blood types?

Spencer: I don't think I was told.

Toby: Lily-Rose was A and Tommy-Joe was B.

Doctor: Ok. Did you notice if they had a name label on a wrist or ankle?

Spencer: No, they didn't have one.

Doctor: And that is where it all went wrong.

Spencer: What went wrong? What's going on?

Doctor: I don't know how to tell you this, but…

Toby: But what?

Doctor: Have you heard of the saying 'swapped at birth'?

Spencer: Wait, are you saying that Lily and Tommy were swapped at birth?

Doctor: Yes. And we have proof.

Toby: Show me!

The doctor hand us his notes.

Spencer: This doesn't make any sense?

Doctor: Well, we had to do a blood test in the parents and the babies that are also involved in this situation. When we noticed that the mother was AB and the father was O, we knew something was wrong.

Toby: Hold on, are you saying our twins survived being born premature and we buried someone else's children?

Doctor: Yes.

Spencer: So, do they know that their children are dead and they were looking after ours all this time?

Doctor: We haven't broken the news yet.

Spencer's POV:

Since finding out that our twins are still alive, the people that were looking after them have been told. They cried. We are now about to see our children for the first time in a year and 6 weeks.

Doctor: You ready?

Me and my husband walk into the room and see the couple holding our children.

Spencer: Oh my god.

Toby: Lily? Tommy?

I sort of clear my throat to make it sound lil I haven't been crying.

Spencer: What did you call them?

Woman: Tyler and Nelly.

Spencer: Can I hold her?

Woman: Sure?

I take my daughter into my arms. She a little on the small size, but a good one for a 1 year old.

Toby: I remember when I saw her being delivered, even though I wasn't in the room.

Man: Would you like to hold Tyler?

Toby: Um, sure.

Spencer: His name isn't Tyler and her name isn't Nelly.

Doctor: It isn't up to us, so you'll have to sort something out between yourselves.

Woman: Can I ask where you buried our children?

Spencer: Rosewood cemetery.

Toby: Look, I think it's right for them to live with us. Now that we know they are alive, we won't be able to live without them.

Man: No. You'll have to fight for them!

Spencer: Excuse me? She's my daughter and my son, not yours and you think it's on to keep a child that doesn't belong to you?
