Because they had been twins and because they had been slightly early, the hospital had kept Paige, Patrick and Amanda overnight at the hospital. Lucas had slept near them in a chair, waking at every sound or cry from the babies. He almost felt like he was going to wake up and find that this had all been a dream...a dream of the family he never thought he'd have.
But it wasn't.
And the next day, with no complications, they were sent home. Lucas got Paige safely situated so that she could rest, and moved the cribs to the living room so that they could both care for the little ones as they needed them. Then he sent a message to friends and family that if they wanted to come over and meet the new babies, they were welcome to come. In the meantime, he was torn between watching Paige and watching his little ones, all of which were magical and beautiful to him.
