Emily is stressing about these babies way more than she should be. Before we left the hospital parking lot, she checked the buckles on both of their car seats twice. She drove really slowly on the way here. There is this speed bump, on our street that she loves to go really fast over, she didn't. She went slow. She's just nervous so I let it go. I love her so much. We pull into the driveway and up to the house. We get out of the car and I get Lexie out of the car while Em get Greyson. She unlocks the door and lets me go in first. She sets Greyson's car seat down on the couch.
"Look at that. We're home." She says talking to Grey as she gets him out of his car seat. She moves the car seat and sits down on the couch with Greyson on her chest. I do the same with Alexandra and sit beside Emily.
"Now, we wait for Faith to come home." She says as she puts her arm around my shoulder. We both drift off to sleep.

I wake up to a screaming child and a frustrated Emily.
"Can you be quiet please?" She says as she is changing Alexandra's diaper. "I just fed you and you're gonna wake up your-" she stops her sentence as she looks up and sees me. "Momma. Good job little girl." She says as she tickles her stomach.
"Where's Grey?" I ask her giving her a kiss.
"In the swing." She says as she looks towards the swings.
"Okay. You want me to?" I ask as I point to Alexandra.
"Yes please." She says as she moves out of the way. "You're a goddess."
She goes into the kitchen and comes out with two plates of food. I'm guessing she was cooking when the babies woke up. I put Lexie in the swing beside Grey and go sit at the table.
"Did both of them eat?" I ask.
"Yes. And one went back down faster than the other." She says as she gazes at the babies.
"I can tell." I say as I look at her. "Did you get interrupted?" I ask as I point to the food.
She laughs. "Yea. Yea I did." She says.
"So Stella is supposed to be coming home in a week." She says
"Yea." I say, grabbing her hand. "We have one week to get accustomed to having babies in the house."
She laughs. "Yea, the girls wanted to know if they could come over later and see the babies." She says.
"I mean, I don't see a problem with it." I say, as I continue to eat.
"We need some milk and food to eat." She says as she gets up and puts her plate in the sink. "I'm gonna run to the store. Do you want me to take one of the babies?" She asks.
"Yes please. I'm gonna catch up on some nap time." I say as she walks up the stairs to our room.
"Babe, bringeth me a little human." She calls from upstairs. I laugh and go pick up the only awake baby. Alexandra. I take her upstairs and set her in her crib. I walk into our bedroom. I stand in the door frame watching as Emily does her hair. She went simple today. She's wearing some dark wash skinny jeans, a simple white t-shirt with a red and black plaid button down around her waist. She has some black bracelets around her wrist and her white high-tops on. She has her hair in braided pigtails, she puts her sunglasses on her head and grabs a black book bag.

"Where's the tiny human?" She says as she kisses me.
"In her crib." I say. She tries to walk out of the room. "Nuhuh." I say as I pull her back to me and kiss her again. This time more passionately. "Now you may go." I say as I pull away. She walks into Alexandra's room. I follow her and stand in the door way as she gets Alexandra dressed. I smile as I take a picture. I post it to Instagram with the caption
Out on my first adventure #mommy-daughterbondingtime #waitingonsissytocomehome
"Vroom Vroom" I hear as I see a baby come towards me in the cutest outfit. She is in some Aztec print leggings, a cream color sweater, some brown little boots, and a headband with a pink-purple bow on it.

"She is so cute!" I say as I take her out of Emily's hands.
"I know." She says as she swings her hair behind her shoulders. I walk out of the room and down the stairs. Not after rolling my eyes first, of course.
"Get some more bananas please." I say as I put Alexandra in her car seat.
"Okay." She says as she grabs her purse. "Where's the diaper bag?" She asks
"By the door." I say as I hand her the car seat. "You got this?" I ask.
"Always." She says as she kisses me. "I'll be back." She walks out of the door. Five seconds later she walks back in. "And, I forgot the keys." I laugh.
"Have fun." I say as she walks out of the door. I love that girl. Just as she walks out of the door, Greyson starts crying, of course.
EMILY'S POV
We pull up to Walmart and I get out. I grab my purse and put some diapers and wipes in it. I get a buggy and put Alexandra's car seat on it. I unbuckle her and wrap her in a blanket. I set her back down in the car seat and put a bib around her neck, just in case.
I go into Walmart and walk out with much more than I needed. Plenty of food, diapers, and more baby clothes. Yay! Ali is so gonna kill me. Whoops. I buckle Alexandra back up in her car seat and put her in the car. I get in the car and drive to the gas station. I get some gas and then go inside. I get Ali some chocolate and both of us a coke. I get in the car and drive home.
She doesn't love you like I do She doesn't have my name However she tries to act like it She'll never be the same
But she's new and she's beautiful You've never been in a fight Yeah it's awfully perfect now But you just know deep inside
She's not me She's not me She's not me Baby She's not me
Does she make you feel wanted like I did Make you feel like you're the one thing that matters You let her head rest on your chest But when you close your eyes
You'll be seeing my face again I'll be crossing your mind You'll be dreaming of places we went And then you'll wake up to find
That she's not me She's not me She's not me Remember That she's not me, eh Mmh, ooh, yeah She's not me She's not me
Said I wonder now Yeah I wonder how you've been Are you happy?
As I pull up to the house, I notice a different car outside. Who's here? I walk inside and see a guy sitting on the couch next to Ali. I put Alexandra down in the kitchen and walk into the living room.
"Umm, hello?" I say as I look at Ali with this scared look on her face.
"Babe, this is, Ryan." Oh hell no.
Pretty much a filler chapter. Thinking of writing some one-shot type stories with ideas that just come to mind.
