Together

The doorbell rang and like crazy Chris ran to the door. Chris flung open the door and in front of him stood Colin and Scarlett, "Hèhè you're finally here. Said he. 'We still had to take the kids to my mom's. Why are you so happy? Asked Scarlett curiously. 'Come in soon and I'll tell you.' Chris let the couple in.

Colin and Scarlett sat down on the couch. 'Maeve and Jane have been found. They are in England now.' Said Chris. 'What?' Shouted Colin and Scarlett in chorus. 'They have been found!' Repeated Chris. Scarlett jumped up from the couch and she put her arms around Chris. 'That's great. I'm so happy for you. She started crying with joy and Chris didn't keep it dry either.

'How then?' Asked Colin. He too was surprised by the news. 'Hints had come in and led them to Maeve and Jane.' Narrated Chris. 'And they're in England?' Asked Scarlett. Chris nodded. 'The police are still investigating. Maeve and Jane are coming to America the day after tomorrow.'

'As early as then? Aren't you kidding? Scarlett looked at him with disbelief in her eyes. 'No, it's real. The police called Monday night for a DNA test and this morning they called with the results.' Narrated Chris. 'Oh Chris. I'm so happy for you.' Scarlett gave him another hug. 'Thank you guys so much. I can hardly believe it either.'

"Have you called your parents yet? Colin asked. Chris nodded. 'All the family is freaking out. Everyone always hoped they would come back but no one expected this.' Narrated Chris. 'I can understand that. What about Lizzie? Have you spoken to Lizzie yet? Asked Scarlett curiously.

'Yes. I called her this morning. She is coming to New York as soon as possible and then we will discuss everything. She had driven straight to the stores after the news to buy clothes for the girls.' Said Chris. 'How sweet of her. I'm so happy for you guys.'

'Thanks Scar. In half an hour the news will come out that Maeve and Jane have been found. The police can't keep it a secret much longer. I'm so curious to see how the rest of the world will react. The support I've gotten in the last four years is not normal.'

'I'm curious about the reactions too but I'm even happier that I'm going to see my children again after four years.' Said Chris. 'What would they look like?' Chris wondered aloud. 'No doubt they will look a lot like you and Lizzie. As babies they looked a lot like you.' Said Colin. 'Especially on Lizzie.' Added Scarlett. Chris nodded. 'I can't wait to see them.'

'Chris, remember you don't know what these kids have been through. They probably find it all extremely exciting. To them, you're a stranger.' Helped Scarlett remind him. 'I know. I have an interview at the police station tomorrow.'

"Exciting though. Felt Colin. Chris nodded. 'To be honest, I'm pretty scared too. I don't even know my own kids.' Said he. Chris sat down on the couch. 'Hey, you'll be fine. I get that it's exciting. When Rose and Cosmo were born I was scared too but as soon as I had them in my hands the fear was gone. Every parent feels insecure at times but I'm sure you can do this. You are such a sweet uncle to Rose and Cosmo.' Said Scarlett, "Now you have to stop it. Soon I'll start crying.' Chris had tears in his eyes.

While Chris, Scarlett and Colin celebrated with each other that the twins had been found, Lizzie was busy packing her bags. Jarnette helped Lizzie pack all her bags and meanwhile the phone kept ringing. The news about Maeve and Jane had just come out and everyone was trying to reach the famous actress.

Lizzie sighed. "Why don't you put your phone on silent? Suggested Jarnette. 'Good idea.' Lizzie grabbed her phone and she turned off all notifications. She had already called all her family members this morning with the news about the twins so the most important people already knew the news. Probably it was mostly a lot of journalists who wanted to talk to her.

'Lizzie, you'd better hurry up now. Soon the plane will leave without you.' Said Jarnette. 'Yes. I'll send Chris another message.' Lizzie sent him a message with her arrival time and then she put her phone in her pocket.

'Are you sure you don't want to come with me?' Lizzie looked at her mother. 'Lizard, this is something you and Chris need to figure out together. Maeve and Jane will probably be terrified. I think it's better if they get used to you and Chris first. I'll meet them later.'

'Okay. I'll keep you posted.' Lizzie promised. 'I'm counting on that.' Jarnette gave her daughter a hug. 'Will you be careful? Don't do anything crazy and if there's anything you go to your sisters.' Spoke Jarnette to her daughter. 'Will be fine mom. Don't worry. Everything will be fine!'
