I’m not 100% sure about this one and I don’t necessarily think I’ll write anymore with this pairing but I hope you like it anyway.
‘Hey, you…’ Demi says softly as she lifts Pippa out of the bassinet and into her arms. She glances down at the clock on the bedside table before carefully lifting Evie out of the bassinet and cradling her in her free arm. She slowly makes her way through to the nursery and sits down on the glider chair. Somehow she manages to get both girls latched on at the same time causing her to smile slightly.
‘What are we going to do today, hmm? It’s just going to be the three of us.’ Demi almost whispers as she gazes down at hertwin girls nursing happily. At just eight days old, Pippa and Evie have quickly become the centre of both Demi and Lauren’s world. Demi, who was once sure she’d be keen to get back to work as soon as possible, is now considering how much time she can take off without people thinking she’s being over the top.
‘Momma’s tired, girls… In fact momma is absolutely exhausted but seeing your little faces makes it all worth while. You twomake everything worth while.’ Demi admits.
‘All those months of IVF, tears and heartache. All the months of morning sickness, back ache and swollen ankles. I would do it all over again for you two.’ Demi says leaning down and kissing each of their heads. Resting her head against the back of the glider, Demi closes her eyes as she yawns before sighing.
‘So tired.’ She mumbles.

Making her way back into the bedroom, Demi carefully places both Pippa and Evie in their bassinet. She gently runs her fingerdown each of their cheeks before climbing back into bed beside Demi.
‘Mmm… Where have you been?’ Lauren mumbles sleepily as she drapes her arm over Demi and pulls her closer to her body.
‘Feeding our babies.’ Demi replies smiling.
‘Yourself? Should’ve woke me.’ Lauren says leaning forward and pressing her lips against Demi’s shoulder.
‘You’ve got work later; you need to get as much sleep as you can. Can’t have you becoming an exhausted DJ, can we.’ Demi replies.
‘I love you.’ Lauren says.
‘I love you too.’ Demi replies.

‘I feel so bad for leaving you this soon.’ Lauren says sighing as she watches Demi gently rock the bassinet while attemptingto settle Evie.
‘Don’t… We’ll be fine, won’t we? I think Kelsey is going to pop over this afternoon and I’ll probably just try to get some sleep when they do. You’ll be home before we know it.’ Demi replies smiling.
‘I know you’ll be fine but I just feel bad; you’ve not even properly recovered yet and I’m leaving for like six hours.’ Lauren says shaking her head as Demi stands up and makes her way over to her.
‘Stop feeling guilty. I promise we’re going to be fine; it’s only a few hours. You’ll be home in time for us all to have dinnertogether.’ Demi replies wrapping her arms around Lauren’s waist.
‘Call me if you need anything, yeah? If you need me to come home I will be here as quick as I can.’ Lauren says and Demi nods her head.
