Elle's pov 🌙

we still haven't been able to take jace home yet, mainly because he was so small compared to faith and couldn't breathe by himself yet. The doctor had said that faith took all of the room up in my womb. I was disappointed that my dad still hadn't reached out to me, even though I've just had kids he didn't seem to care. And on top of that dele is going to Russia in 1 month and I've wanted to go with him since I was pregnant, but if jace isn't able to breathe then I will just have to stay at home.

I stayed at the hospital every night to be with jace and dele went home with faith most nights, you could tell faith just wanted to be with her brother because she would always reach for him. Even thought jace is so small he is the spitting image of dele and everyone who came to visit him would tell me that. Faith was more a mixture of both of us really and didn't really look like one of us. Dele has been doing a super job at looking after faith when I'm not there. He takes over me at the hospital some days but is getting really busy doing training and has to get Katie Kane to look after faith, sally sometimes helps but works as well.

"miss Lakely" the nurse called out from the hallway. And I stood up and left jace in his incubator

"yes that's me" I nodded and waved at her from where I was standing and she came over towards me. I was scared at what she would say back, but I had to be strong for my family

"jace is getting taken off his oxygen soon and we would like you to know about that. The doctors think he should build up starting to breathe by him not depending on it" she told me and I took everything in that she had just said.

"oh okay, well can I get his father round to watch him as well" I asked her and she thought about it and checked her notes at how many people where aloud in the room at once

"yes he would be aloud as well as baby faith" she informed me and I got my phone out to call him

"hey babe, I'm just finishing up training and then getting faith from Kate" he answered the phone after a few rings and spoke

"yeah well can you and faith come to the hospital after?" I asked him, and I knew he would say yes

"yeah we will be round, why what's happening to jace?" He questioned me with a worry in his voice

"they are seeing if he can breathe without the oxygen" I informed him and explained what the nurse had told me

"okay love, we will see you soon. Love you both loads" he said and hung up. He was so lovely and some how managed to stay calm and happy while jace was in here. He was confident he would be able to come Russia with us. And all we could do was hope and believe in him. He had defied all odds of living already so he had a change, he was a strong baby just like his dad.

I went back to sit with jace and hold his little hand through his incubator, which made me upset that he was so little but still fighting for us. His eyes finally opened and he yawned and made me smile, he was just like faith but tinier. I pressed the button on my phone to check the time, it read 6:34pm and I was starving but I didn't want to leave jace until del and faith got here.

I waited for them to come and I knew it would take a long time for Dele to come here because he was just getting used to changing faith and getting her in the car, he was doing a good job since I have barely been home since having the twins.

"hey babe, look Faith mummy and jace" Dele pointed at us as he walked around the corner into the room we where in. I jumped out of my seat to hold faith and give her a cuddle and a kiss.

"how was training del?" I asked him as I bounced faith around the room while he held onto jaces hand

"really good, everyone has been getting ready for Russia and Gareth is running around the place like a headless chicken" he giggled and described how Gareth was asking, he was such a geek which always made me laugh.

"are you ready to go?" I questioned him and sat on the bed across from him and j

"not really, we haven't packed any of your clothes or the twins" he said which made me smile that he still thinks jace would be able to come with us

"yeah I know, how's Katie looking after faith?" I inquired and wondered if she was a good girl around ivy and there new daughter Vivienne. She was just 2 months older than the twins.

"apparently she sleeps most of the day and then sits and watches tv and copies what vivi does" he explained to me and I stated into her brown eyes, her hair was slightly curly. Both twins had a headfull of hair which was slightly surprising.

"are you a good girl for Kate" I bounced her up and down and kissed her chubby cheeks. Which made he laugh, I couldn't wait until jace could smile and laugh like his older sister

"when are the taking his off?" Dele asked me and as soon he said that the doctor walked around the corner and started laughing

"right now mr Alli" he laughed and shook deles hand. Which caused me to get very nervous, Del noticed and grabbed my hand as we watched him turn of the oxygen

jace was quiet for a few moments before crying and taking a huge deep breathe which made us all celebrate.

"well that means jace can come home soon" the doctor told me and I couldn't keep in all the tears, they came flooding out. As jace was crying faith followed and pointed towards him. They where so cute together and now they would be able to watch daddy play in Russia. Which made us all very happy especially dele. As the doctor left he danced around the room and me and Faith giggled at how he was such a loser.

He came over to me and kissed my lips passionately, this was our family and nothing was splitting us apart. And now jace is ready and breathing we could all go home soon.
