"Let's go home!", Owen announced as he walked into Amelia's patient room, holding the discharge papers in his right hand. While Luna was asleep in her tiny little baby bed next to her mother's, Lucas eyes widened upon hearing his father's voice and he immediately got squirmy.

"I know you want your daddy, yeah.", the brunette chuckled. The boy seemed to love his dad more than anyone and her heart was so full of love whenever the small newborn excitedly moved as much as he could at such a young age. "Here you go.", she said, kissing his head when she handed him to her husband.

"Hi, sweetie!", the trauma surgeon's face lit up. "Are you ready to go home to meet your siblings?", he wondered, enjoying the snuggles. The twins were both little redheads, their faces a mixture of their parents'.

"He sure is.", his wife grinned and carefully lifted Luna into her car seat after signing the papers. Owen did the same with their son and grabbed both seats to carry them to the car. He had already taken the bags downstairs in the morning.

"You know that I am not broken or anything, right?", the neurosurgeon laughed at his cute way of taking care of her. She had given birth to them naturally, even if they were two weeks early.

"Nah.", Owen replied and turned his head to face her and smirk. "You need as much rest as you can get.", he reminded her softly as he buckled the kids into the car. "I cannot wait to see Logan's, Layla's, and Leo's faces. Ellie will be extremely excited as well."

"Family of eight.", Amelia beamed, including the husky as she counted the members. "And five children. The perfect amount if you ask me.", she smiled happily and leaned over to her husband to peck his lips once he had buckled himself up.

"We are home.", the redhead informed everyone when they walked into the living room, where Evelyn was waiting with the three older kids. He carried both car seats inside and set them down on the floor for his curious children to meet their siblings. "They are both asleep, so please be gentle and quiet.", he requested.

"What are their names?", Logan wanted to know. His parents hadn't really told them anything before. He just remembered that Leo, Layla, and he had been allowed to think of two middle names. Two for boys and two for girls.

"Let me guess!", his sister meddled, a huge fan of quizzes. "Our brother is named Leroy-Wyatt and that is Linda-Poppy.", she wildly suggested, causing the couple to glance at each other as they tried not to laugh.

"Now my guess!", the twelve-year-old took over again. "Levi-Miles and Lucia-Poppy.", he figured. "Wanna try as well, little one?", he questioned Leo, who was shyly staring at his younger siblings. It was weird not being the smallest one anymore.

"Mhh!", the little blonde nodded. "Wiam-Wyatt (Liam-Wyatt) and Wowetta-Ivy (Loretta-Ivy).", he shared his thoughts and then pointed to the back door, where Ella was sitting in front of, waiting to be let back inside.

"Interesting choices.", Owen judged the horrible name choices his children had made. They weren't entirely wrong because it had to be one of the middle names each, but the L-names were terrible in his opinion, well besides Liam.

"Slowly, El!", his wife ordered, putting the dog on leash for now to control her excited nature as she was trying to run up to the twins. "No licking, just sniffing!", she demanded, kneeling down next to the husky to be able to push her snout off the sleeping newborns. "Do you want to take a guess, Evelyn?", she smiled.

"Why not?", the grey-haired-woman shrugged, staring at her new grandchildren in awe. Megan had had her baby a month ago and it was a boy named Daniel. Teddy and Tom's kid had been born in May and was a girl called Fiona. "Maybe Landon-Miles and Luna-Ivy?"

"Can you read minds?!", her son questioned in shock. They hadn't ever talked about the twins' names before, so how had his mother been able to guess their daughter's name right? "I mean, our boy is called Lucas-Miles but how did you know that our baby girl's name is Luna-Ivy?"

"Well, just a lucky guess.", Evelyn lied and winked at Amelia, who just now remembered that she had talked to her mother-in-law about how she would name her babies. "Now, let's have lunch. I cooked.", she said, stroking each newborn's cheeks. She wanted to hold them so badly but there would be time for that once they were awake again.

"Perfect, let us just quickly put them down. The car seats aren't too comfortable.", the neurosurgeon requested. She kissed the dog's head and received a few kisses back. "You can take a nap on the couch. I know you, there's no way you weren't running around the yard for at least the past hour.", she chuckled, following her husband upstairs, so they each could get a baby ready for bed.

"Well, that went great.", the redhead happily judged. He hadn't expected his kids to act out or anything, but one never knew. And now that the twins were asleep, they could completely focus on the three oldest during lunch. "I can spend some time with Logan in his room during nap time and take the baby phone, so I know when to take care of them and maybe you can use the free guest bedroom and get some rest together with Leo and Layla?"

"Sounds perfect. They will love the special nap treatment.", his wife agreed. As parents of five, they tried to divide their time as fair as possible, even if the newborns needed a bit more attention. "I love you, Owen!"

"And I love you.", her husband beamed while he grasped her hand to walk back downstairs together. "Buddy, how about we play darts while everyone else naps?", he suggested to Logan, who excitedly nodded. "And you two get to sleep in a big bed in the guestroom with mommy. Isn't that perfect?", he asked the middles, who clapped their hands.
