Part 8

Dianne's POV

"Ella come through here," I said, I needed to have a serious word with Ella about telling the others the news before she should. I mean I wasn't going to be strict about it, I was just going to say 'Ella don't tell the others about the twins before next week.' So she followed me in the conservatory, "Yes mum?" She asked as she got onto my lap and played with my hair as she always did.
"About the twins, don't tell the others the news until next week, can you promise me you won't?" She held out her pinky, "Pinky Promise."
"Thanks sweetheart, I knew I could count on you." I told her, "you can go play a bit now, before dinner,"
And with that she hurried off to join the others. I love having Ella in the house, she is so helpful with her siblings and is a great big sister to them. She will make a great mum one day.

Joes POV

"Next train to London, Kings Cross." We were playing train stations and I was the tannoy telling everyone what train it was next. The kids were having so much fun and to be honest So was I.
"Ok, we have to get on this one." Ella said, she held a Barbie doll in her hand.
"Come on Maesi." Jessica said, Maesi was the child, Riley's doll.
Riley picked up Maesi's suitcase and gave it to me. "Daddy can you put it in the compartments at the top for me please?" She asked me.
"Of course," I opened the luggage compartment and popped it in. "Perfect." Riley said, giving me a hug.

"Kids dinner is nearly ready!" Dianne shouted from the kitchen. Rina was making lunch which I was thankful for.
"Guys we can play after lunch ok." I said, getting up with Riley.
"Ok daddy," Ella said helping her twin siblings get up. "Let's go to the table."
