More Than Friends: Lucain - Completed

Chapter Twenty Eight

"Me neither." She replied.

I lifted her hand to my lips and placed a soft kiss against it.

"I love you." I whispered against the back of her hand.

"I love you, too." She smiled.

I started driving slowly, making sure not to hit any members of the press that were still crowding around the car trying to get pictures of the twins.

It took at least twenty minutes just to get out of the hospital car park but once we were out, the drive home was fairly quick.

Lucy and I got the twins out of the car and took them into the house. We introduced them to the dogs one at time because we thought introducing all three dogs at once could scare them.

Dustin and Dahlia both liked all three of the dogs. Jack, Bailey and Mochi all liked the babies too. They were gentle with them and didn't bark at them.

After we introduced the babies to the dogs, Lucy and I took the twins upstairs to put them down for a nap.

Lucy placed a gentle kiss on Dustin's forehead and told him she loved him before she carefully laid him down in his crib.

"Daddy loves you so very much, baby girl." I said to Dahlia as I gently put her in her bassinet.

I kissed her forehead before I went over to Dustin's bassinet and Lucy came to Dahlia's.

"And daddy loves you so very much, too, little guy." I said as I placed a kiss on his forehead.

Lucy and I stayed in the room with the twins and watched them until they'd both fallen asleep. Lucy turned the baby monitors on before her and I left the room, taking one of the baby monitors with us.

"What do you want to do now, honey?" I asked her.

"Can we just lay in bed and cuddle while watching a movie and eating lots of popcorn?" She responded.

"That sounds perfect." I replied, picking her up.

I carried her to our bedroom and set her down on the bed before I walked back over to the bedroom door.

"I'll go make the popcorn, can you get a movie ready and make yourself comfortable?" I asked her.

Lucy just smiled and nodded.

I went downstairs to the kitchen and made the popcorn. I also got some drinks before going back to the bedroom.

When I got back in the room, Lucy had changed out of her clothes and into one of my shirts. It was far too big on her and she'd left some of the buttons undone but she still looked extremely adorable to me.

"You look so cute." I told her as I sat next to her on the bed, placing the popcorn between us and the drinks on the bedside table.

"I look like a mess." She replied.

"No, you look exhausted. There's a difference." I said to her. "And you still look beautiful to me."

Lucy smiled and snuggled close to me as I wrapped my arms around her.

"Thank you." Lucy said quietly, almost in a whisper.

"What for?" I asked her.

"For staying with me. For helping me with the babies."

"Why wouldn't I stay and help you with them? They're my babies, too. I love them both so much and I love you." I responded.

"I know you do but we weren't together for long before I got pregnant. We weren't ready, we hadn't talked about having children. Part of me was scared that you would've left me."

"Hey, goose, look at me." I spoke softly.

Lucy looked up at me and I placed a gentle kiss on her lips.

"I would never have left you to raise our babies on your own. I'm not going to leave you. I promise." I told her with a soothing voice.

She smiled at me before pressing her lips against mine. We pulled away from our sweet kiss a few seconds later.

"I love you so much, Shmian." She said to me with a smile on her face.

"I love you, too, honey." I replied as she placed her head on my chest.

She played the movie before taking a handful of popcorn.

Lucy and I didn't even get half an hour through the movie before Lucy had fallen asleep on me.

I decided to let her sleep because I knew she was exhausted. She didn't get a lot of sleep during the pregnancy because the babies kept kicking and waking her up. She got even less sleep in the hospital because, with the towns being born prematurely, she didn't want to take her eyes off of them in case something happened so she would wake herself up at least twice an hour to check on them.

I stopped the movie and put the popcorn on the bedside table text to the drinks before I carefully moved Lucy off of me and tucked her into bed, making sure that the covers would keep her warm. I turned the tv off and closed the curtains to make the room darker before going to check on Dustin and Dahlia.

Once I checked on the twins and made sure that they were both okay, I went back to our bedroom and got back in bed with Lucy, wrapping my arms around her petite body.

I wasn't going to sleep, I just like holding her when she sleeps because she says that she always sleeps better when I'm holding her.

"I love you so much, Lucy." I spoke quietly to her before placing a soft kiss on her forehead. "I'm going to marry you one day."
