"The house to ourselves", Neil said loading the last of the dishes into the dishwasher.
"Whatever will we do?", Fynn laughed pushing herself away from the counter.
"A nap?", he laughed.
"Actually, I thought we could go look at some furniture for the twins room."
"We don't really have anything do we?"
"Not at all", she said taking a drink of water,"We can at least look at cribs and dressers. No colors until Friday."
"You sure you're up to shopping?", he gently rubbed her stomach.
"You will just have to be patient when I have to stop to go to the bathroom every half hour and walk slower to keep up with my awesome waddle."
"I think your waddle is adorable," he kissed her tenderly.
"Mmm, you are sweet", she smiled against his lips,"Won't it be nice not have this between us for much longer?"
He laughed,"You are gorgeous Fynn, though being able to hug you will be nice."
"I thought so," she teased and stopped as she felt a jab in her side.
"Fynn?", Neil rushed back to her side,"I'm okay, think one of the babies got a little rowdy."
"Are you sure?" he asked concerned.
"Yeah", she replied,"I'm not due until February."
"Still love, it's twins you're having. Sometimes things don't go as planned."
"I know, but it wasn't a labor pain", she winced as she felt another twinge.
"You're going to the hospital."
"No, no", she placed a hand on his arm,"Let me go lie down for a bit. It may just be the babies moving or something I ate for breakfast."
"Come on", he said holding her arm as they made their way up to their bedroom. He had her lie down putting a pillow against her back,"Is that good?"
"Yeah", she said closing her eyes,"Lay with me?"
"Of course", he moved to the other side. He adjusted so that he could rub her back,"Feeling better?"
"Yes, just a little uncomfortable in the front, but it's the territory."
"I can have Keith & Lauren bring Mia home."
"No, let her stay with them. I'm fine, just going to sleep for a little while," she began to drift off as Neil sang softly.
Fear gnawed at the pit of Neil's stomach. Fynn was still about two and a half months from her due date. What if the babies came early? What if there were complications? He closed his eyes praying silently that Fynn was right and that it was just the babies being restless. He couldn't bare the thought of anything being wrong with her or either one of their twins. He sighed and rubbed his eyes. He listened for Fynn's breathing before he climbed out of the bed. He went downstairs to call Keith and Lauren.
"Is everything okay?", Lauren said breezing through the front door.
"She's asleep right now", Neil said, it had been about an hour since he had spoken with Keith on the phone,"I probably freaked out over nothing."
"Neil, she's having two babies,"Lauren patted her brother-in-law's shoulder,"Plus you know my sister, she will hold out until the last second. I'll go up and check on her."
"Thanks Laur," he smiled as Mia came inside with a yawn,"Hey love!"
"Hi dad", she allowed him to pick her up,"Where's mommy?"
"She was a little sleepy, so she's napping."
"Oh, okay. Can I have a snack?"
"Sure thing," he put her down as she scampered to the kitchen,"Sorry to disrupt the afternoon," he looked at Keith.
"You actually saved us", he laughed with a gesture to the toddler asleep against him,"Sean is out & Mia was wearing me out."
"You want to put him on the couch?"
"Yeah, Lauren go to check on Fynn?"
"She's up there now," he said before going to the kitchen to check on Mia.

"Hey Fynn", Lauren sat on the edge of the bed.
"What is it?", she yawned not opening her eyes.
"Neil was worried and called."
"I told him it was nothing", she placed a hand against her stomach feeling the babies movement.
"You sure about that?"
"Laur, I'm not do until February and it's only December fifteeth. I should be fine."
"Have you had anymore pain though?"
As Fynn was about to answer she felt a sharp pain shoot through her spine,"Just now," she winced.
"Honey, your babies may make an early appearance," she said with a smile.
"Not this early Laur, it's not good."
"You want me to get Neil?", she asked as her sister took another deep breath.
"Please", she sighed.
Lauren made her way downstairs where Sean was still asleep on the couch while Mia watched a movie and munched on a snack. She heard Neil and Keith in the kitchen,"Figures you two would have opened a beer already", she put an arm around her husband.
"Hey, running around with kids is tiring," Keith laughed kisisng the top of her head.
"Is Fynn okay?", Neil looked at her.
"She wants you to come up", she replied,"You two may end up having two new ones before Christmas."
"Is she in a lot of pain?"
"No, seems to be only every so often. Keith and I will keep Mia if you want to take her to the hospital just to be sure."
"I probably should", he turned leaving the kitchen. He took the stairs two at a time,"Hey there," he saw Fynn sitting on the on the edge of the bed,"What's going on love?", he knelt in front of her.
"Not sure", she shook her head squeezing his hand,"It's just too early for them to come."
"Lauren and Keith are going to look after Mia so I can take you to the hospital."
"Okay", she agreed squeezing her eyes closed against another pain.
"Is it bad?", he asked softly.
"It's only going to get worse", she gave a stiff laugh.
"I'll get you a few things and we'll go", he placed a finger under her chin,"Everything will be okay."
"I hope so", she replied as tears welled in her eyes. She laid back as Neil began putting things into a bag for her.

Fynn was exhausted, her body ached, but she couldn't sleep until she knew her babies were okay,"Can they get a wheel chair?", she looked at Neil.
"Nurse is on her way with one right now", he came back to the bedside. He took his wife's hand, stroking her cheek gently,"You look more beautiful than I ever thought possible."
"Liar", she laughed closing her eyes.
"Fynn, you just gave birth to two children at once!", he kissed her softly,"You are glowing right now and I couldn't be more amazed or in love with you than at this very moment."
"You weren't so bad yourself, dad."
"Have to get more used to that now," he smiled,"What happened to getting a kid already out of diapers?"
"You lucked out on that one", she looked up as a nurse came in with a wheel chair.
"Here you are Mrs.Byrne", the woman said kindly,"We'll just help you up and into the chair and then we'll go see those babies."
"Thank you", Fynn said as Neil helped to steady her as she pushed herself up and then lowered herself into the wheelchair. She kept her hand in his as the nurse wheeled her down to the NICU where the twins were. They had been born after nearly sixteen hours of labor, barely three minutes a part. A baby boy and a baby girl. The boy was a little over five pounds and their girl was just at five pounds. Due to their premature delivery they had to be put on oxygen and kept in incubators until further tests were run.
"Here we are", the nurse said as they came to a double door,"We'll just get your hands all washed up and put some scrubs on and then in you go."
Neil helped Fynn wash up and placed the scrubs over her as best as possible. The nurse took them into the NICU room and parked the chair between the two incubators,"Why are they separated?", Fynn looked at the woman.
"Their development must be assessed before they can cosleep," she replied looking at the chart.
"When can we hold them?", Neil asked.
"Soon as the doctor as given them a full evaluation", she smiled,"Take your time and let us know when you're ready to go."
"Thanks", Fynn said placing her hand through one of the openings on the incubator. She stroked the soft hand of her little boy and looked at Neil who did the same with their daughter,"Any ideas for names?"

Patrick Donovan and Anastacia Rauri Byrne came home just after New Years, their first Christmas had been spent in the hospital, but made as merry as possible. The house was a flurry of activity and anticipation as Keith, Lauren, Sean, & Mia waited for Fynn and Neil to pull into the driveway.
"Look!", Mia jumped up and down excitedly,"They just got here!"
"Calm down Mi-pea", Lauren laughed capturing her niece in a hug,"The babies might be asleep."
"Why would they be asleep?", she looked to her Aunt.
"Because babies sleep a lot", she smiled ruffling her hair.
"Welcome home!", Keith said opening the door for Neil who carried both car seats.
"My babies!", Mia almost squealed.
"Shhhh", Neil knelt down next to the car seats,"Ana and Paddy are sleeping love."
"Sorry daddy", Mia sat on Neil's knee staring at her new siblings. Their noses and cheeks were flushed from the cold outside, the rest of them covered and warm.
"Happy to be home?", Lauren hugged her sister.
"Happy to have my family all together", she sighed,"Everything still set in the nursery?"
"We made sure the rugrats stayed out", she smiled.
"Listen, why don't we give these guys some time to themselves and come back in the morning?", Keith suggested.
"Sounds like a good idea", Lauren grabbed Sean's coat from the couch.
"You guys don't have to", Fynn said.
"You need to get settled in with your new little ones", she replied zipping the jacket up on her son,"call us in the morning or whenever, we'll come back."
"Thanks for everything", Neil hugged his brother in law.
"Any time", Keith said with a smile,"See ya cutie", he kissed Mia's cheek.
"Bye Unlce Keith", she hugged him,"I'm going to help with the babies."
"Bet you are", he smiled. They waved and closed the door leaving the family by themselves. Neil looked to Fynn who gave a nervous smile. He lifted the car seats and headed upstairs with Mia and Fynn in tow.
"Welcome home guys", He said opening the door to the nursery.
