Chapter 39:

Toby's POV:

We managed to get a new and nice car sorted. We got a 7 seater black Range Rover.

Spencer: Toby, you need to take Mason to his friends house, Isabella to her friends house and then meet me at the hospital pronto.

Toby: Ok, why can't we all go together?

Spencer: Because I have to take the twins before the time of the appointment.

Toby: Ok. What time do I need to be there?

Spencer: You have to be there at no later than 11:30.

Toby: Ok.

I don't even mange to give my wife a kiss before I'm dragged out the door by my two oldest children.

Isabella: Dad, do you know where Natalie lives don't you?

Toby: Yes.

I finally manage to drop the kids off at their friends houses. I look at my phone and realise I only have 15 minutes to get to the hospital. I quickly call Spencer to let her know that I might be a little bit late.

Toby: Spencer, I'm on my way, I promise you, it's just I'm gonna be a bit late.

Spencer: Ok, I'll won't let them start until you're here.

Toby: Thank, thank you, thank you. I love you.

Spencer: I love you to, bye.

I end the call and about 15 minutes later, I arrive at the hospital. I run inside and find the children's ward. I find Spencer sitting on a seat in the waiting room, I sit with her and we watch our two children play with toys.

Toby: I can't believe this is happening today. I mean, by this time tomorrow, Lily could be able to hear and Tommy might be able to see.

Spencer: I know, I just hope the surgeon knows what he is doing.

Toby: Of course he or she does, they are professionals.

Spencer's POV:

We get the quick checkup done on the twins and take them down to where we are told. They are prepped for theatre and before they go, me and Toby both give them a long hug and a big kiss. Then they are wheeled away and I bursts into a flood of tears.

Toby: It's gonna be ok Spencer.

Spencer: I know, I'm just so proud of our baby's.

Toby: Me too and they will get through this.

Spencer: I know they will.

Toby: You wanna dance, this is our song.

Spencer: Sure, why not.

I wipe my tears and then we slow dance to our song that got played at our wedding on our first dance. When we are finished, we decide to go home for a few hours.

Spencer: We're alone.

Toby: Oh, I wonder what we could do with this time?

Spencer: I'm joking, I don't want to have sex.

Toby looks disappointed.

Spencer: Can we just sit together.

Toby: Ok.

We sit on the couch and I lay into Toby's arms.

Toby: You know. The drama has calmed down a lot recently.

Spencer: Yeah. We haven't had to go to hospital for an accident or anything. No ones died, one one has been hit by a car, no ones been in an explosion, everyone is just fine.

Toby: I know. And to make it even better, I want to take you to Vegas for your birthday.

I sit up.

Spencer: What did you just say?

Toby: I want to take you to Vegas for your birthday.

Toby's POV:

Spencer was very happy with her gift. We are now back at the hospital after receiving a call that the twins are in recovery.

Toby: They look so peaceful when they are sleeping.

Spencer: I know. Auntie Melissa must be watching over them.

Toby: Yeah. You thinking about her?

Spencer: Yeah. If I was nicer to her, this could have been prevented.

Toby: You are not to blame for her death.

Spencer: Hmmm.

Just as Spencer sighs and looks back at the twins, Lily starts to wake up.

Spencer: Hey baby.

Lily: Momma?

Spencer: Wait, can you hear me?

Lily: Yeah.

Toby: Hey sweetheart, I love you.

Lily: Love oo to dada.

Toby: She can hear!

Spencer: Thank you Lord.

I hug my wife tightly before we both notice that Tommy is awake.

Toby: Hey little man.

Tommy: Dada, momma?

Spencer: It's ok sweetie, we're both here.

Toby: Ill get a doctor.

I leave the room and find the doctor that was assigned to the twins. He comes in, does what he needs to do and then turns to us.

Spencer's POV:

Doctor: Just to make sure everything has going well, we are going to need to do tests to see how much of Lily's hearing she has got and how much eye sight Tommy has. The good thing to think about now is that they are both awake and have not mentally been affected by the operation.

Spencer: Ok, thank you Doctor.

Toby: We are truly grateful.

Doctor: Just doing my job.

The doctor leaves and we sit with the twins. Spence goes to pick Isabella and Mason up so they can visit.

Isabella: Mom, can I have a dollar for the vending machine?

Spencer: Here's two, get Mason something as well.

Isabella: Thanks mom.

Isabella returns with two chocolate bars. She gives one to Mason and then sits on the empty chair.

Mason: Are Tommy and Lily ok?

Spencer: They are going to be fine. They need to be taken for scans so the doctors can see if the operation worked.

Toby: They should be able to come home soon.

Lily: Bunny! Bunny!

Spencer: What's wrong baby?

Lily starts screaming for her bunny at the top of her lungs. Toby grabs it from a bag we brought from home. He hands it to her and she calms down. She must have been screaming pretty loudly, because a doctor rushes in looking worried.

Doctor: Is everything ok?

Spencer: Everything's fine, she was screaming for her bunny.

Doctor: Ok.

The doctor leaves and Mason and Isabella sit and sort of play with their younger siblings.

Toby's POV:

Spencer: Toby, can you go and get me a coffee please?

Toby: Sure. You ant anything else?

Spencer: No, but can you get to juices for Isabella and Mason.

Toby: Yeah.

I leave the room and make my way to the stairs that will lead me down to the café. When I enter, there's a bit of a line, but it doesn't bother me. I pick up the items I have been instructed by my wife to buy and then join the line. I'm standing in it for about 5 minutes before its my turn to pay.

Woman: That's 5 dollars and 27 cents please.

Toby: I hand the woman a 10 dollar bill and she gives me change. I then quickly leave the slightly over crowded café and head back upstairs. I give Spencer her coffee and the kids their juices.

Mason: Thanks dad.

Toby: It's ok.

We sit with the twins for a further few hours. The scans still haven't been done. It's about 5:00pm, so me and Toby take Isabella and Mason home.

Toby: I'll take Mason up to bed and then I'll come back for Isabella.

Spencer: No it's fine, I'll carry her up.

We carry our children upstairs. They wake up to put their pyjamas on. Once they have, we make them brush their teeth and get into bed. We allow them to stay awake and watch to in their rooms.

Spencer: If you need anything, me and your father will be down stairs.

Isabella: Ok.

I close my daughters bedroom door. I go down stairs and start to make some noodles.

Spencer: What flavour noodles do you want?

Toby: Chicken please.

Spencer: ok.
