Chapter 32:

Toby's POV:

It's been a week since we found out the life altering news. Although that they are still living with the strangers that brought them up for the past year, we are still fighting for our blind son and deaf daughter. We are now in court, about to find out who will get full custody over our children.

Judge: I've had a discussion with the jury and we have come to a decision. Mr and Mrs Cavanaugh?

Spencer: That's us.

Judge: You will get full custody of your biological children.

Toby: Thank you.

I hug my wife and then we continue to listen to the judge.

Judge: Max and Samantha will not get any contact and the head stone at the grave of Nelly and Tyler Jenkins will be replaced, free of charge.

Spencer: We did it.

We exit the court room and collect our children. Me and my wife cry as soon as we have them in our arms. We've both been practicing some sign language since Lily-Rose is part deaf.

Spencer: Let's go home.

Toby: No, let's get the kids.

Spencer: Ok.

Toby: Ok.

We drive to Aria's. Hanna must be there because her car is in the drive. I get Lily and Spencer gets Tommy. She knocks on the door and a confused Aria opens it.

Aria: Come in.

Hanna: Oh hey. Who are the kids?

Isabella: Momma? Who are they?

Spencer: It's your brother and sister!

Spencer's POV:

Isabella: But they went to heaven!

Spencer: I'll explain later sweetie.

Isabella walks off.

Aria: Wait, I'm confused,

Spencer: They were swapped at birth, and before you ask, we have done a DNA test to make sure.

Hanna: So who's kids did you burry?

Spencer: A couple called Samantha and Max Jenkins had twins on the same day as us, they were the same age as Lily and Tommy. The hospital didn't put labels on any of them and they ended up getting switched.

Aria: Oh my god!

We get in a massive huddle. Aria and Hanna start to cry.

Hanna: How did this happen so fast?

Spencer: I don't know, it just happened I guess.

Aria: I'm so happy for you.

Spencer: Thank you.

Toby: We better get going. I think we owe the kids and explanation.

Spencer: Yeah, and I really want t show the kid their home.

Toby: Hold on. When we thought that they died, we got rid of all the stuff, so the don't have anywhere to sleep and they won't have a bedroom each.

Spencer: Well. Why don't Isabella and Lily share and Mason and Tommy?

Toby: The kids rooms are big, so they will still have space. But what about beds?

Spencer: I'm not sure, they will be growing out of cribs soon, so there's no point in getting one of those. We'll have to ask my parents for some money.

Toby: Ok, I'll put toward sit as well.

Toby's POV:

We have been home for a few hours. Spencer spoke to her mom and she is lending us $250 for the beds. Keep in mind that I'm contributing as well. We are going shopping for them on Monday, but for the next two days, they will have to sleep in mine and Spencer's bed.

Spencer: Hey. What shall we do tomorrow?

Toby: Nothing. Have a family day in. Let Lily and Tommy get used to living here.

Spencer: Ok, bit at some point we need to go to Walmart for food.

Toby: Ok.

A few hours later, we are in bed with our knees up so the twins can sit in them. Spencer teaches me how to sign, I love you. At about 9:30. We try and get them off to sleep. At 11:00, we go to sleep ourselves after a long, but reliving day. The next morning, we are woken by Lily's crying. I smooth her and she soon stops. We get up and take them downstairs. We feed them breakfast and then the other two come downstairs.

Mason: Momma, you didn't actually explain properly who these kids are?

Spencer: Come sit down you two.

The kids sit down on the couch with us.

Spencer: This is your little brother and sister. When I had my operation for them to be born, I was asleep. Daddy wasn't in the room and the doctors and nurses didn't put a name tag in them. The accidentally got muddled up and went to other people. Then they needed some blood because they got sick and when they got the wrong blood from the people they got given to, the doctor called us. Does it make sense now?

Isabella: Sorta. Can we come shopping with you later?

Toby: Yeah, we are all going.

Mason: Ok.

Spencer: Eat breakfast you two and get dressed please.

Isabella: Ok.

Isabella and Mason eat and then get dressed. At about 1:30, we go shopping. After, we come back and as a family watch some Classic Disney movies. At about 4:00, Spencer starts our roast dinner.

Spencer: Toby, can you peel the potatoes please.

Spencer's POV:

We all eat dinner and then Isabella and Mason have a bath before having an early night for school. I wake up the next day. I take Mason and Isabella to school and Tommy and Lily to my moms. Toby got a couple of hours off school so he can help me choose a bed for Lily and Tommy. We get to the mall and go to the bed shop. We head to the children's section, when Toby is distracted by a fight between two girls.

Spencer: Toby, what are you doing?

Toby: I'm a cop, I can deal with this!

Spencer: You are not allowed to arrest whilst off duty.

Toby: I know.

Toby walks over.

Girl 1: What do you want?

Toby: Thats no way to speak to an officer is it? You two need to stop fighting or the police will be called.

Girl 2: I saw this bed first, I'm getting it.

Girl 1: Fine.

The two girls walk away. Toby comes back over and we continue to shop. We end up buying a race car bed and a princess castle bed. We take them home and after about 2 hours of moving stuff around in the bedrooms, we have to go to work. At about 6:00, I come home to find the kids playing in the living room.

Spencer: Where's your father?

Isabella: Upstairs.

Spencer: Ok

I give my kids a kiss on the head and then go upstairs. I find Toby trying to move some stuff. I help him and we soon have separated Masons bedroom so there's enough room to put Tommy's bed. We tidy up and start the same on Isabella's room. At about 7:30, I out in a pizza for dinner. After dinner, we quickly tidy up so Mason and Isabella are actually able to sleep in their rooms. For one more night, Tommy and Lily will be sleeping in our bed. I wake up the next day to the sound of an ear perching scream. I instantly wake up and see that lily has committed all over the bed. She's crying, but I don't know why. I try to stop her, but then notice that she's burning up.

Spencer: TOBY WAKE UP!

Toby's POV:

We get a neighbour to watch the kids and take them to school since their kids go to the same school. We are now at the hospital with Lily. We are taken into a room on the children's ward.

Nurse: So what's happened?

Spencer: She was crying, and then I woke up. I noticed she vomited, everywhere. I true to calm her but then she started burning up.

Nurse: Has she been looking unwell on the past few days?

Spencer: Not anything that I've seen.

Nurse: Ok, I'm just going to take her temperature.

The nurse does what she needs to do.

Nurse: Her temperature is a little high over what we would like it. It says here that she is deaf in one of her ears? Is that correct?

Spencer: Yes.

Nurse: By the looks of it, it's just a bad fever. It should clear up in a few days if you outs this liquid in her drinks.

Spencer: Ok. What if it doesn't clear up? What shall we do?

Nurse: Come back to the hospital, and at the worst, she could have a virus.

Toby: Thank you for your time.

We leave the hospital. We drive home. I have a massive fuss about me staying home, but I eventually go off to work.

Spencer: Come here sweetie.

Spencer: Here you go. This will hopefully make you feel a lot better.

At 4:00, I come back with the kids and go back to work to finish my shift. At 6:00, I come home and sit with my little family. After about 20 minutes, I go upstairs to finish with the beds.

Toby: Can I have a hand?

Spencer: Hold on.
