After everyone had a cuddle from each baby, Joshua kicked them out saying that we would be home tomorrow and they could hold and cuddle them till their hearts content. They argued but gave up when they saw my eyes closing. I was beyond exhausted and for the life of me I couldn't stay awake another second even if you paid me. Elise had slept the entire time and as much as I wanted to wake her up I didn't want to give grandma more work, as she had done so much for us already.

Wakening up the following morning, to the sunlight shining into the room, I looked around to see if I was just dreaming but seeing Joshua holding two babies, I smiled.

"Morning baby" Joshua's head snapped up. Seeing so much adoration in his eyes I couldn't help but smile. "Isabella I still can't believe this." He said sounding still as shocked as I felt. It was as if we were given an extra miracle.

"I know" I whispered as I looked down lovingly at our babies.

"Morning love" he said as he stood up whilst being careful not to disturb the two sleeping babies in his arms. Placing our little boy into my awaiting arms he then leaned down and kissed me on the lips. It was gentle but full of love. "Who would've thought this would happen to us?" Joshua laughed.

"Like I told you before my love, we are well and truly blessed." Leaning forward I met his lips once more only this time I deepened the kiss. The sound of the door opening broke our kiss but hearing the squeals of an over excited Elise I couldn't help but smile. She squealed sounding just as cute as she looked in her little pink lace dress.

"I'm sorry but I couldn't keep her away any longer, she just kept screaming for you both." Joshua and I laughed knowing full well how Elise can be a demanding little one when she wanted to be .

"It's ok mum thank you for looking after her." Seeing her eyes sparkle with so much love melted my heart. I just wished it could've been my own parents here showing their grandbabies the same amount of love.

"Oh Isabella I am so proud of you sweetheart. Joshua, can you believe I have not two but three grandbabies now." Joshua stood so his mother could have his seat. As he passed our baby girl over to his mother before he scooped up Elise and swung her around making her squeal and giggle. She is such a daddy's girl it's unreal, but I love it. It reminded me of when I was smaller when my daddy and I were like that. I often wondered what I had ever done to stop him from loving me the way he once did.

Elise began chatting well more like gargling as she poked and prodded her brother and sister. I got a little worried encase she'd hurt them but I soon settled down when I saw how gentle she was being. Elise wasn't even a year old yet and believes me; she is well advanced for her age. I guess that's due to the fact of being around so many adults all the time.

After a while Elise started getting restless, so as always daddy was to the rescue. Joshua took Elise down stairs to get her some ice-cream while I waited to see the doctor. I just couldn't wait to get home to my own bed. I know that this sounds stupid but the entire way through this pregnancy I had made Joshua promise me that he wouldn't leave me alone in the hospital. I know I was being ridiculous but I didn't want to chance anything happening, like it did when I had Elise.

Thankfully, we haven't heard or seen Audrey since the court but even so, I still didn't want to take the risk of being alone with my new borns. The nightmares are slowly fading now and that is all thanks to Joshua. I have never been so happy and now having two more babies in our family just adds to my happiness.

Joshua and I had set a date for our wedding but had to postpone it, due to me being pregnant. Joshua didn't want to postpone, either did I but I was getting so big so quick that I really wanted to wait. I guess I know now why I was so big so early on in the pregnancy. As well as being tired and cranky all the time towards the end, I laughed to myself.

Elle called me telling me that she would be around right after work with Lisa Paul and Jack. I smiled knowing it was killing her not been here right now. Elle loved babies, just everyone else's as she didn't want any of her own just yet which I could tell Jack hated. Jack loved children and couldn't wait for one of his own. Where Paul on the other hand, didn't want any children, yet Lisa was dying to start a family of her own.

I still laugh how the four of them are. It's like they're perfect for each other but at the same time they need to swap partners. The funny thing is Elle who was the wild flirty quirky and never stick with one man woman, has now totally changed into a one man woman. I haven't even seen her look at another man, well that's a lie, let me rephrase that, touch another man because Elle always has to look. That is Elle and we all love her for it, even Jack. Lisa on the other hand is still as quite but she is growing wilder by the day. It's as if Paul has brought out the devil in her. Elle and I tease her non-stop about it but hey, that is how our friendship always is and nothing will ever change us.

Just as the doctor finished checking the twins and me over, Joshua and Elise came back. With the three of us being cleared of perfect health, the doctor thankfully told us we were good to go home as soon as we sign the release forms. Joshua followed the doctor out after passing me Elise. Elise began wriggling around as she hated being held but as soon as grandma held Leanthony in front of her she stopped the fight to get down and just looked down, looking almost memorized by her baby brother.

My heart melted at the sight of her. My baby was growing up so quick yet she was still only a baby herself. Joshua came back and just like me he stood just staring at the sight before us. This was our family. The family Joshua and I had longed for. Joshua moved to sit on the bed beside us. Wrapping an arm around me and then another around Elise we looked down at our three babies with so much love. The love I could only dream of receiving as a child.

Everything was perfect, life couldn't have been any better than it is right now. Sometimes I would sit watching my family whilst thinking, is this real? I have even pinched myself a couple of times to make sure I wasn't just dreaming. Silly I know but I never thought I would ever end up being this happy or happy at all for that matter.

My lifelong dreams of a fairy-tale happy ending have come true. Joshua and I are still in love, as the day we admitted our love to each other. Joshua is one in a million and I was that lucky one out of that million. Joshua makes me feel like a princess and even treats me like one. Joshua has been working from home since the twins were born to help out and grandma had moved in with us to help out as well. Having three children under the age of one was no joke. However, I wouldn't have it any other way. I loved the chaos our house has become and I am slowly getting into a routine with the twins. I managed to breast feed for the first six weeks but then stopped due to exhaustion and since I started bottle feeding, life has become a little easier for everyone.
