Millionaire's Unknown Daughter

Chapter 42

Ian Somerhalder as Maddox Pierez. ☆☆

Later the next morning I'm bombarded with visitors, and can't keep the smile off my face at the sight of Nonno meeting his Great-Granddaughter's for the first time, he was truly fascinated by them both, and I knew he'd do anything for them, too.

Ivan was a little wary of holding them when he came, he'd never held a baby before, so he was nervous of dropping, or hurting them. Doctor West took pity on him, and showed him how to hold them safely.

Doctor West agreed I could go home with the twins later today, so Nonno and Alicia left at lunch time to go prepare the house for when we got back. Dad and the guys stayed with me at the hospital, and Dad had reluctantly told me that he'd had guards placed outside my door since I first got here yesterday, because the hospital staff were finding it hard to get into my room, and they'd complained about them in front of me.

Dad refused to remove them, and told them that mine, and my girls safety was more important than staff whining -I'm sure that's one of the reasons I got to leave the hospital so quickly, too- but hey, I wasn't complaining about being able to go home.

Warren had been in to visit me too, but hadn't stayed very long because he hated hospitals. He stared at the twins in mock horror when he met them, making me raise an amused eyebrow at him. ''Lord help us!'' He cried dramatically ''Two more Bella's.'' He gasped out, making the guys laugh loudly.

I threw a pack of wet wipes at his head and he threw me a grin. ''They are adorable, Bella, you did good.'' He praises me.

''Thanks, Warren.''

''No problem, I'll see you later at the house, okay?''

After he left, the guys fed and changed the twins for me, while I got ready to leave the hospital.
Dressing in a red maxi-dress that I'd asked Alicia to bring in for me -because my maternity stuff was too big now- I slip on some flat sandals, and tie my hair up into a messy ponytail. I'd been shocked to learn this morning when I'd showered that after having the girls, my bump had nearly dissapeared totally leaving me stunned, all I had left was a little baggy skin around my belly button, and a few stretch marks to prove that I'd been pregnant at all. It was freaky, because my bump had been massive!
I wouldn't be surprised if I could get all my old clothes back on either. Nonno had told me that was exactly how it had been for Nonna, when she was carrying my Uncle's and Dad, so I obviously had good genetics from her.

When I come out from getting dressed, I find Doctor West checking the girls over one last time, and laugh loudly as Baby A narrowly misses peeing all over Xeres, who jumps to the side and scowls at us as we laugh at him.

Once we get the all-clear, Ivan and Xeres go down to the car and get the car seats for the twins, while Dad stays with me as I finish packing. ''You okay?'' He asks me when we're alone.

Looking up at him I nod and smile at him sadly. ''Yeah I'm good, Dad, really good. I love them so much already,'' I tell him honestly ''I'm just a little upset though, Ares should have been here, but at the same time I'm glad he wasn't, he doesn't deserve them. Does that make sense?''

''I understand, Bella. He's an arsêhole, and you and the girls don't need him, you have us now.'' He tells me seriously ''We love you, and we'll be stand-in Dad's for them if we need to.''

''Thanks, Dad.''

He just nods and picks baby A up who had started whimpering. ''Have you picked any names out yet?'' He asks me as he soothes her.

''I like Rosalie and Violet, but I'm not sure just yet, what do you think?''

''I like Rosalie, but Violet I'm not so sure of. What about Sofia, instead?'' He asks me staring down at the baby intently.
