"Are you ready to go home, babies?" I ask.

Justin is checking us out and making the twins an appointment for 1 week while I pack our stuff and make sure I have everything. The twins are already in their car seats, ready to go home, just like me.

I sit on the bed, watching them stare at nothing, until Justin comes back to the room.

"We are officially ready to go." He says.

I smile as he walks over to me and plants a kiss on my cheek.

"I need more than that." I smirk.

"Oh, do you now?" Justin chuckles, kissing me on my lips.

"Happy?" He asks.

"Yes, very. Can we go now?"

"Absolutely."

He grabs both of the car seats and I get our bags before we leave the room.

"That double stroller is gonna be a lifesaver. This is definitely not happening every day." Justin says.

"You're welcome." I laugh.

We walk outside to the car and Justin puts their car seats in the car.

"Three car seats and a grown child in the back. This is gonna be difficult." I get in the passenger seat while Justin makes sure the twins are secure in the back.

"Should we go get Bella?" I ask as Justin gets in the drivers seat.

"We could try 3/4 of the system." He replies.

"To moms house it is. Bella will be so excited to see me. You, though, I'm not so sure."

"My ladybug loves me."

I laugh and Justin drives to my moms house.

9:23 am

"I'll go get her. Frankie will probably wanna see the twins before we go home." I get out of the car and walk up to the front door, unlocking it with my key.

"Bella, mommy's here!" I yell.

I hear little feet running towards me then my Bella comes out of the kitchen with her hair all over her head and only wearing a diaper.

"Mama!" She runs into my arms and I pick her up.

"Hi, baby girl. I missed you." I kiss her head and she squeals.

"Where's Uncle Frankie?" I ask her.

She just buries her head in my neck so I walk to the kitchen and find Frankie sitting in the middle of the floor on his phone.

"What the hell are you doing?" I laugh.

"I was gonna make something to eat but I got distracted." He answers, turning his phone off.

He stands up to give me a hug before going outside to see the twins.

I walk upstairs to my old room where the girls were sleeping and put a onesie on Bella before gathering all of their stuff.

"You ready to go home, babe?"

Bella goes to pick up her giraffe that she got in Hawaii then turns back to me.

"I'll take that as a yes. Hold mommy's hand." I put my hand out and she takes it before we walk down the stairs.

Frankie is just coming inside when we reach the door so he takes Bella to put her in her car seat while I put her stuff in the back.

"Mama!" Bella yells.

"What, princess?" I ask.

"Baby!" She says.

"Yes, that's your little brother and sister. Can you say hi to them?"

"Hi!"

Bella is extremely excited for some reason, maybe it's because she just woke up, but she has a lot of energy.

"Have fun with your babies." Frankie says.

"We will."

I hug Frankie and he kisses my head before I get in the car.

"Bye Justin!"

"See you later, Franklin."

Frankie closes my door before going back inside the house.

"Well, it's time to go home."
