Melwood's Family

Chapter 31

Melissa's POV

     Chris and I got up this morning and posted a photo on each of our instagram accounts of babies. We made sure not to leave anything that would give away their genders and captioned it with "Without you are family would not be complete" of course social media went crazy about it and my doctor told us we could go home before lunch since the babies were doing great. I got up, showered and changed into some other clothes. I brushed my teeth and the helped Chris feed the girls before he got ready to get the car pulled around and grab the carseats. When he got back up to our room he helped me get the girls into their matching sleepers and headbands.

Chris: I brought you some sunglasses there is press everywhere out there.

Melissa: Is it really that bad?

Chris: Yep they want to see them.

Melissa: Okay let's put them in their carseats and throw the covers over them.

Chris: I called security and they are going to place a few outside just to make sure that we get there without getting hurt.

Dr. Ross: Hey guys I just wanted to see you off and bring in the discharge papers.

Melissa: Thank you for everything you have done for the girls and us.

Dr. Ross: It was nothing. This is the fastest I've ever had twins out of my NICU and home before. I wanted to say goodbye to these identical twins. You are already to go. Enjoy the sweet faces.

Melissa: We will thank you again.

     Dr. Ross left and I grabbed the hospital bag and we made our way down to leave the hospital. Chris had both carseats in his hands and both babies were covered up so no one could see them. We got close to the doors to leave and there was paparazzi everywhere. I put Chris's sunglasses on his face and we walked out the doors. The security agents kept the paparazzi at bay, but that did not stop the questions we got. Chris got both babies in the car and helped me in before he got in. We each took a deep breath and sat back.

Chris: That was hectic.

Melissa: Yeah. Let's go home.

Chris: Agreed.

     He leaned in to kiss me. It was short, but sweet and the paparazzi ate it up. He started the car and we got home ten minutes later. We knew the girls saw us pull up and some paparazzi followed us to the house. I grabbed the bag from the back and Chris got the girls. I was still sore from the c-section and had a hard time going up and down stairs. We made it into the house and Avery ran into my legs.

Chris: Avery be careful your mom just had surgery.

Anna: Okay come on I want to see them.

Melissa: Let's go sit first.

     We made our way to the living room where LA and Grant were. Chris put the carseats down and pulled the covers off of the carseats.

Grant: They look exactly the same. 

Melissa: Yeah they are very closely identical.

LA: How do you tell them apart?

Melissa: On Phoenix's nose there is a tiny line that is barely visible Chris has the same line.

Grant: We are going to sneak out and let you guys have some privacy.

Melissa: Thanks for watching the girls. LA I have something to show you before you leave.

LA: Okay.

LA's POV

LA: What do you want to show me?

Melissa: Nothing I wanted to ask you if you told Grant?

LA: I didn't. I am going to today.

Melissa: Okay you can go.

     Grant and I were on our way out of the house and the paparazzi was still outside.

LA: You know that will be us in about nine months.

Grant: What?

     He turned towards me, but still had his hands on my waist.

LA: I'm pregnant.

Grant: This is amazing.

     You could see the tears almost come out of his eyes. He picked me up and spun me around and we hugged tight. There were flashes all around us and tears were coming out of both of our eyes. We were still hugging when four little human beings crashed into our legs. Melissa and Chris each had a baby and were standing in the door way. The flashing was crazy and we were still so excited about the baby inside of me.

Grant: We are going to be parents.

LA: Yeah.

     Chris and Melissa walked closer to us with the babies still in their arms.

Chris: Congrats guys.

Grant: Thanks. 

Melissa: Go home tell your family and if you need a kid to practice with you have six options.

Chris: Come on girls let's go.

Avery: Bye Aunt LA and Uncle Grant.

Grant: Bye Avery.

Melissa's POV

     Chris closed the door behind me and we made our way to the kitchen to grab bottles for the babies. 

Melissa: Can we just order pizza for dinner I don't feel like cooking.

Chris: Yeah let's just get these babies down for a nap first.

     We fed the babies dinner and then took them upstairs to sleep. We placed them into their hanging cribs turned the lights off and grabbed the baby monitor. We ordered dinner and ate then went to bed.
