April 20th 1974

The twins were five days old. Roger, me, Elly Mae and Aidan could finally go home from the hospital. I was given some cream and pain killers for my stomach where I had the c section. I was so happy to be finally going home. I had barely gotten any sleep because the babies cried all night but I had no problem getting out of bed to cuddle them in the middle of the night. However it really annoyed Roger. He liked his sleep. Oh well, he was just going to have to get used it.

Freddie and Brian were going to collect us from the hospital at 2 o'clock after we got the okay from Dr Hardy. John was on a date with Veronica so he didn't come. Roger and Brian were finally great friends again. They were laughing, joking around just like they did before it all went downhill. I still never thought about how or why Brian kissed me that day. I mean, he was probably one of my closest friends and I'd never thought of him in that way. Obviously he thought of me in that way though.

Roger came into my hospital room distrupting my thoughts. "Hey baby, Dr Hardy said he'll be in soon." He said. I smiled in reply. Roger went over to the cribs and picked Aidan up. He was gently rocking him back and forth as he was sleeping. He put Aidan back into the crib and picked Elly up. She was wide awake, her huge blue eyes scanning the room. Roger laughed at her shocked look. He rubbed her head gently feeling her soft brown hair. She had so much hair for a baby who was only 5 days old. Aidan started to cry after he woke up. Roger swapped babies again and was rocking Aidan who looked like a baby version of Roger. He practically was a baby version of Roger. He was so tiny and fragile looking. He was very pale and quiet. He only cried when we woke up. Roger was holding Aidan in his arms when Dr Hardy walked in.

"Hello, Megan and Roger, how are you today?" He asked. "We're very good thank you, we have friends coming to pick us up if we're allowed out today." I said. "Well, I've ran some tests and you look good to go, so does Aidan but I'm slightly worried about Elly Mae." Said the doctor. "Why's that?" Asked Roger. "Well, since she wasn't ready to be born when we delivered her, some of her organs are underdeveloped like her lungs so I'd like to keep her in hospital to make sure she's okay, it's only precautionary." He said. I felt a pang of worry go through my heart. Elly Mae started to cry so I got out of my bed to go and tend to her. I picked her up and she stopped. I saw Dr Hardy frown out of the corner of my eye. He came over to me and took Elly Mae from my arms and placed her on the bed. "Okay, she's not breathing, we need some help." He ran from the room to get a nurse who came with a small air balloon to blow air into Elly Mae's lungs. I expected myself to panic like crazy but for some reason I didn't. I didnt know whether it was because I was so shocked or because I trusted Dr Hardy and knew she was going to be okay. Either way, they got her breathing again. "It was only some mucus lodged in her throat nothing to worry about." Said the nurse who then quickly left. I heard Roger breath a sigh of relief. "Okay, so I'd like to keep this little one in over night for observation. She'll be in an incubator with other babies and she'll be checked in regularly. If we're happy with what we see then she'll be sent on her way home, okay?" I nodded and so did Roger. Dr Hardy smiled and left the room, pushing Elly Mae out on her crib that was on wheels. I plopped onto the nearby chair, already missing her. Roger came over and sat beside me. "I think someone wants their mummy." He said, talking about Aidan. He handed him to me and I rocked him back and forth slowly. He closed his eyes. There was a knock on the door and Brian and Freddie walked in. "Hey guys." Said Freddie. "Hey Freddie." I said. "Ready?" Asked Brian. Roger stood up to get our bags ready. "Where's Elly Mae?" Asked Brian. "She's being kept in overnight for observation, they think her lungs are underdeveloped, she should be okay though." Said Roger. "Oh, God I hope she's alright." Brian said. I have Aidan to Freddie after he asked me a million times. "Hey man, how are you today?" He asked. Aidan opened his eyes and Freddie smiled at him. "Wait, where's Elly?" Asked Freddie. "She's being kept in for observation." I said. "Oh right. I'm sure she'll be fine. She's a little queen. A little killer queen." Said Freddie as he rocked Aidan. Then he stopped. "Hm" he said as if he had just thought of something. Then he shrugged his shoulders and rocked Aidan again.

We all left the hospital. I felt very bad leaving Elly Mae but there was nothing I could do about it. I was so glad to be finally going back home to our flat and bringing Aidan with us. Sadly, we weren't bringing Elly as well.
