Niall's POV

I woke up this morning to Lyric signing me "Happy Birthday" and running her hand gently through my hair. I smirked, and turned over to face her and she gave me a kiss.

"Happy Birthday Baby." She smiled.

"Thanks." I said giving her another kiss.

"I can't wait to go get Michael and Grace." I smiled.

"We can go get them at anytime Daddy."

"Well lets go get them now, Mummy." I threw off the blankets and was hit by a gust of cold air coming from the air conditioner. I ran to the bathroom naked since I got my birthday present early from Lyric last night. I jumped in the shower, and let the warm water rush over my body.

"A bit cold there aye Niall?" Lyric said from our bed room.

"Haha, just a little bit babe, the water is making me warmer, but not as warm as you made me last night." I answered.

"Only for you Niall." She said walking into the bathroom in a pair of jeans, and a pink blouse. I finished showering, and got dressed. Once I finished dressing, Lyric was done and adding the finishing touches to her outfit. She left the bathroom, and went into the bedroom. I followed her, and wrapped my arms around her waist.

"Did I tell you that you look absolutely beautiful today?" I whispered in her ear.

"No I don't think so.." I felt her smile.

"Well you do, and I love you very much."

"I love you too." She said. I gave her a kiss on the cheek and when I looked up, my mum was there in the door way with a camera in her hand.

"You two are the most cutest people ever." She smiled and continued down the hallway with her suitcase, since she was leaving today. I let Lyric out of my embrace and we went down stairs. After a very quick breakfast we loaded up my range rover with the car seats and the diaper bag, Mum had to decided to stay back and finish up her packing. It was only a twenty minute drive to the hospital so we got there at 10:20.

We carried the carseats to the NICU, we were so excited we practically ran. Once we got there the nurse was checking up on them.

"Hi there! I was just putting them in the outfits you brought for them to go home in." She smiled. I looked over at my babies and smiled. They had recovered so much over for the past four days from being sick with the meningitis. They both had put on a few more pounds since being born at four pounds. Michael was now a healthy seven pounds six ounces, and Grace was a whole six pounds, which was good for being born prematurely.

Lyric was talking with the nurse and she handed her Michael, while the nurse handed me Grace after Lyric gave the nurse her cannon camera. I wrapped my arm around Lyric, while my other one held protectively on Grace. I smiled as big as I could, because I knew this was one of the best days of my life, next to the day they were born along with the day I was married to Lyric. After the picture taking was over we put the babies, in their car seats with a blanket over them to block the cold wind from outside.

I held on to Lyrics hand when we walked out to the car, I was so happy to be done with hospitals, for now anyways, until we find out that are babies can't hear anymore. Once we got the babies situated in the car, I got in the driver side and Lyric got in the passenger seat. I held out my hand and she happily took it.

"Finally together." She said as I pulled out of the hospital parking lot.

"Yes finally, I can't wait till we get to spend some time together with them."

"Alone. With no doctors, no nurses, no machines, and no medications. Just me, you and our babies." She said giving my hand a squeeze.

"Yes, just me, you and our babies." I replied. Our ride home was quiet peaceful, when we got home mum's car was still in the driveway. When we got out, we unbuckled the babies carseat and brought them inside. Once we were inside it was strangely quiet, which was weird because my mum always played some type of music if the television wasn't on.

"Hello? Mum?" I called out while placing Michael's carseat on the ground.

"Maybe she already left." Lyric wondered. We took off our jackets and hung them up. After that we picked up the carseats and carried them into the living room. We sat down on the couch and took the babies out of their carseats and that's when we fount the note on the coffee table.

I picked it up and read it out loud.

Niall and Lyric

Sorry I had to run off like this. My car died which is why its still in your driveway. The reason I have run off like this you five year old nephew, Theo, has broken his arm and Denise needs my help, since Greg is on a business trip. Also with Denise being heavily pregnant she needs it. I will have a tow truck come get my car soon. I really hope you understand, I love you both very much. I will call you later.

Mom xxxx

After finishing the letter I felt angered and upset. Why didn't she bring up my babies, why did it have to be about Greg. On my birthday too! She didn't even tell me happy birthday!!

"Niall are you alright?" Lyric asked as she readjusted Grace and scooted closer to me wrapping her arm around me. I situated Michael to where he was laying on my chest, while I reclined into Lyric.

"I just... Why would she do this to me? She never mentioned the twins, she was all worried about Greg's kids. You know what the worst thing is Lyric?" I cried.

"What is it baby? She asked running her hand through my hair.

"She even for got my own birthday.." I said a few tears slipping out of my eyes.

"Maybe she was just in a rush, but guess who didn't forget your birthday?" She asked.

"Who?"

"The people that are with you right now." I looked up at her and she smiled.

"Your right our family who is finally together." I gave her a kiss following with one for each of the twins' forehead. After my little emotional break down Lyric and I spent the whole day with the babies. We bottle fed them their dinner before we ate ours and after that we brought the babies to bed in their new room, hooking up the baby monitor, and heading to bed ourselves. Once Lyric and I were all snuggled in we were having one of our late night talks.

"Lyric?"

"Yes Niall?"

"This has been the best birthday ever, thank you for giving me the family I have always wanted." I giving her a kiss.
