The boys arrived safely, no problems just decided they wanted to be super early. I dont know who was more panicky me or Owen. Owen kept hasselling the nurses when they came to check on me. The girls kept texting Owen checking up on me. Of course they were all in the waiting room anyway.

"Mrs Farrell it looks like you're all good for visitors. Well keep monitoring you for a few hours and if nothing changes you're good to go" Owen still in his rugby kit thanked the nurse, he had one in his arms and I had the other. "I'll text them to come in" I nodded. Seconds later, Ollie comes running through the door, followed by the girls and the boys.

"Oh my gosh, I want another one" "Bloody hell Abs you've only been in the room two seconds" I laughed. They all admired my little spuds "Daddy I want to hold them" Owen looked at me "not yet Son, maybe when were home" Ollie huffed. I edged over on the bed and patted it "come sit with me" Ollie didnt even hesitate before jumping next to me.

"What's are their names and how are you going to tell them apart?" Abbi didnt take her eyes off the babies. I looked at Owen and smiled.
"This one" I looked at the tiny baby in my arms "Aleksander Andrew Farrell after my Dad and Owen's Dad. Hes got a little birth mark on his belly"
"This one is" Owen paused "Elliot Benjamin Farrell. He doesnt have any birth Marks or anything" Ben paused "you've named him after us?" He pointed at himself and Ellis. We both nodded.

"You were both there in my darkest times and I probably wouldnt be in this situation if you wasnt. Plus we didnt expect two when we was planning and we already had picked a boy and girl name out" I laughed Ben and Ellis hugged me and Owen. "Why do you think we kept you out the nursery? Weve got little frames with their names in and we wanted it to be a surprise" Owen explained not taking his eyes off Elliot. The girls took many photos of all of us, even made us pose for one. The five of us.

Few hours passed by and we were ready to go home, the girls luckily went home before coming to the hospital and grabbed the car seats. "Ready to go home?" Owen grabbed both the car seats and Ollie held my hand "yes, you need to get out of those dirty clothes" "yes mumma bear" I threw daggers at Owen "dont call me that, it feels weird them even being here after so long" Owen laughed at me.

Everytime they made a little noise I was by their side, they havent really cried properly yet. "Hollies just text me" I stopped in my tracks "what does she want?" "She just said if we need her to have Ollie at any time let her know" my eyebrows screwed up "what's changed her tune?" He shrugged. I double checked every strap Owen did up to make sure the boys were secured in the car. Ollie was quite happy sitting between the pair of them.

I made sure Owen was driving extra carefully which i could tell he was getting annoyed at. "Home sweet home" it was nice to be able to get out of a car without someone having to help me. Owen grabbed the boys, Ollie helping Owen carry them in. The house was decorated with banners "welcome home baby boys" "congratulations" and balloons.

"We thought you may want this" Charly laughed and Abbi pulled out a bottle of wine "yes! Yes I do" they all laughed "I'll only have one" the girls gave a yeah right look. "Just want to know when I can get back to training" I laughed Owen threw me daggers "dont give me that look you take a year out" he shook his head "exactly".

The girls were the first ones to take the boys out of the car seats. "We havent told anyone yet, all everyone knows is you went to hospital" Abbi piped up "okay facetime the family?" Owen nodded and grabbed his phone. We now had a Farrell/Smith group chat.

Of course Colleen was the first to answer "hey Hunny hows Amelia?" The others started to join the call and I got in camera shot with Owen. "Weve got something to show you" Owen flipped the camera to Abbi and Charly. "Meet Aleksander Andrew and Elliot Benjamin" they all cooed over it "you've really named them after me and Andy?" My dad started to tear up. "Of course, I couldnt pass on our name so i passed on yours"

"Next game in a few weeks Farrell is against Scotland, so I'll see if weve  got time to pop down" Andy added. "Well let you get settled in and then you call us when you want us" My mother added. The Phone call ended "I thought you were going to have visitors in the next 2 hours" Charly laughed. I bloody hope not.

The girls left after a few hours of hogging the boys "were only 5 minutes away now so call us at anytime" "we mean it Amelia" I saluted them and I got the mum look back.

"Why dont you go and get a bath I'll get these pair ready for bed then we can watch movies until they wake up for their next feed" I nodded at Owen, somehow hes turned into this even more perfect husband.

"Ollie want to grab some jammies and come watch a film with me and Daddy?" He immediately ran up the stairs. This whole three child thing is going to be a handful, school run with three children is going to be fun.

It's only been a day and I'm already missing the bump. Ready for the sleepless nights!
