Love, hate and everything in between

~Chapter 27~

Once the nurse had returned with our babies, she allowed everyone else to gather into the room. I laid in bed holding our little boy while James held the girl.

"Hi baby." Gabriella said, waving at the little boy.

She then looked up at James and realized he was also holding a baby. Her eyebrows scrunched together and her head tilted to the side. I chuckled as did James.

"There's two babies!" She exclaimed, shocked.

"There sure is." James said, smiling.

"What happened?"

"Mommy had twins."

"Twins? Do we have to give one back?"

"No, sweetie. We keep them."

"You mean they come home with us?"

"They sure do."

She looked a little uncertain at first, but then giggled and clapped her hands together.

"So..names?" Kendall asked, eyeing James and I.

"Well...We had discussed a few. Not knowing we were going to have twins." James began. "Don't know if your still considering the ones we named?"

"The ones we first liked, I'm considering." I said.

"Then we present to you, Hudson and Arabella."

"It's adorable!" Taylor exclaims, proudly.

"Those are going to be some cute ass babies." Logan says, sarcastically.

"They will! With both James and Brooke's looks!" Octavia says, smacking Logan on the arm.

"Or maybe just James' sexy looks." Carlos adds, jokingly.

"Or just Brooke."

In a quick few minutes the hospital room was filled with laughter.

"We have some news of our own." Octavia said, grinning.

"Spill!" Angelina said.

"We decided to take after James and Brooke and adopt a little boy."

"What?!" We all said erratically.

"We checked out a few orphanages and there was a little boy who is from Italy. His parents were murdered when he was 1 and he was left on the doorstep of a church. So they transferred him to America."

"When do you get him?" I asked, smiling ear-to-ear.

"Sometime next week." Octavia said.

"But!" Logan chimed in. "Not only that, but Octavia is also pregnant."

"Gee! You guys got hitched and didn't mess around!" Carlos joked.

"That's amazing you guys." James said, smiling.

There was a knock at the door and the same nurse came in returning Hudson and Arabella.

"The paparazzi showed up hoping to get a picture of James and his wife's new babies." She said, smiling.

I threw my head towards James as he began to shake his head, but it was too late. 4 paparazzi and their cameras bolted in like lightning. I held my hand over my face trying to block the camera flashes. The flashes continued going off until Logan went and pushed them all out the door.

"Everything's fine." James said, looking over at me. "Never in a million years will Troy see those pictures."

"Half the time those pictures don't even get out." Carlos assured me.

"Don't sweat it, darlin." Kendall added.
**********************************
We had come home a week ago with all 3 of the kids. Gabriella was flabbergasted with having two knew siblings. She wasn't too thrilled with all the crying that filled the house each evening at around midnight. Gabriella had been going to preschool throughout the weeks while James and I stayed home with the kids. On Thursday we sent Gabby off and James was preparing to leave to go out with the boys.

"Are you sure you'll be okay with both of them?" He asked, playing with my hair as I stood at the kitchen counter.

"I'll be fine. They'll sleep half the day anyways." I assured him.

"And you'll call if you need anything?"

"Yes, James. I'll call."

"And-"

"Go! I'll be fine!"

I pushed him out the door and began to shut the door, but he propped it back open. He quickly placed a kiss on my lips before he walked to his car and drove off.

I made myself a quick cup off coffee and proceeded up the stairs once I heard Arabella and Hudson begin to cry. I trudged up the stairs, already tuckered out. As I got upstairs, the crying stopped, but I carried on into their room anyways.

I pushed open the door and found them both on the lap of someone in the rocking chair. (The anonymous person's face covered by a book.)
I stopped in the doorway and watched as the book lowered from the persons face.
With a grim smile, 5 words were spoken: "Glad to see you're alive."

My coffee cup fell to the floor with a shatter.

•lol. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. "Omg, it took forever for you to update."
I realized this 3 weeks ago. But I've been so tired and stressed for the past few months. I've been writing so, so much and I literally am trying so hard to keep up. So I apologize.
Merry, early, Christmas. (If you celebrate it.) If not, then have a magical week.
If you haven't noticed, I put up a new fanfic called "Let it Snow" for the Wattpad Christmas contest. I totally don't plan to win, but it was fun writing a short story. "Forbidden Love" obviously sucks. Tbh I think Wattpad is most popular for fanfics. Which means I'm just going to have to find another writing community for the others...
Buuuuuut about this one.....vote and comment because I know you'll all be ticked about the ending. Fyi though, I'm writing like 3 more chapters and an epilogue and James and Brooke's story will be done. (Kinda makes me upset....) But anyways..goodnight.•
