Emma's POV

It has been two weeks since we came home. Everyone is doing great. We have all adjusted to having two newborns in the house. 

I get out of bed and walk to the closet to get dressed.

I put my hair into a messy bun and walked downstairs. I wasn't surprised to see the kitchen empty. It is four in the morning no one in their right mind would be up at this time. I am up because it is my only chance to get some time alone. With the twins here I spend every waking second with them. Not that I am complaining, I love them both so much. Livi is a great big sister, she helps me with them when Sandro is working.

I fixed a cup of coffee and walked to the back patio. I sat down and watched the sun rise. I enjoyed the peace. 

I was brought back to reality when I hear one of the twins crying. I sit my mug down and walk upstairs and to their room. I see Abby laying in her bed crying. I pick her up and sit down in the rocking chair. I rocked her until she was fast asleep. 

I got up about ten times last night to come check on them. Sandro got up about seven times. It is like they never sleep. 

I sat her back in bed and walked back down to the patio. I seen Maggie sitting outside with a mug in her hand. "Hey" I said taking my seat and picking up my mug. "Hey" she said smiling over at me. 

"Why are you up this early" I ask her. "Same reason you are, I need a minute to myself." she said winking at me. I chuckled and took a sip of my coffee.

We sat there enjoys the peace and quiet. After and hour of sitting there I stood up and walked to the kitchen. I washed my mug and put it back into the cabinet. 

I felt strong arms wrap around me. I turned around and seen Sandro standing there. "Why did I wake up alone" he asked peering down at me. "I woke up early" I told him. "Why" he asked. 

"I needed some alone time." I told him grabbing his face and kissing his lips. He gave me a small smile and unwrapped his arms from around me. He sat at the counter and I walked over and stood beside him.

"The kids awake" I asked running my fingers through his hair. He shook his head and lay his head down on the counter. "You good" I asked. He sat up and leaned on his hand. "I love you" he said. I smiled widely and wrapped my arms around him. "I love you too" I said. 

"I am so happy we are growing a family" he said into my neck. I smiled and squeezed tighter. 

I released him when I heard the twins begin crying. I walked up stairs and into their room. They were both sitting up crying. I picked up Abby and sat down rocking her. Sandro picked up Ace and sat in the other chair rocking him. 

I smiled at Sandro and he smiled back. Livi walked in and looked between us. "They cry a lot" she said. I chuckled and nodded my head. She walked over to me and kissed Abby's head. She did the same to Ace and then stood beside Sandro admiring her baby brother.

"How about we have a family day" Sandro said looking at me. I smiled and nodded my head. I stood up and laid Abby back in her bed. Sandro did the same and we walked to our room. Livi sat on the bed and Sandro and I walked into the closet to get ready.

We walked out and Sadro took Livi to her room to change and I walked to the twins room. I picked them both out an outfit and changed them.

Sandro walked in with Livi and she looked surprisingly good.

I put the twins in their travel seats and we walked downstairs. Sandro put the twins in and I helped Livi buckle up.I got in the passenger seat and Sandro climbed into the driver side. He pulled out and onto the road.

He laid his hand on my thigh as we drove down the road. "Where are we going" I asked. He looked in the back seat and saw the kids asleep already. "I was thinking we would go Christmas shopping." he said smiling at me. I gasped. Christmas was two weeks away. I forgot that our wreck happened during Thanksgiving. "Yeah" I smiled over at him. 

I laced my fingers through his and kissed the back of his knuckles. He did the same to my hand.

"Baby wake up" I felt someone shaking me. I opened my eyes and seen Sandro hovering over me. "Where are we" I asked sitting up in my seat. "We are at a mall a couple hours from home" he said unbuckling my seatbelt. He helped me out of the car. 

He got Livi out while I adjusted my clothes. I walked around the other side and pulled out the stroller. I unfolded it and put the twins in buckling them up. 

I pushed the stroller and Sandro walked beside me with Livi in his arms. When we got inside Sandro grabbed a shopping cart and buckled Livi into the front part of it. I walked behind him as he led me all through the stores. Everything Livi glanced at he would put in the buggie.

We were in the shoe store and Sandro was helping Livi pick out shoes. I looked down at my ring finger and played with my ring. I looked at the twins and smiled. I am so happy my life is going so great. 

Ace started crying so I took him out of his seat and held him to my chest. His little hands played with the necklace around my neck. He got my hair stuck in it and I hissed when he pulled it. Sandro's head snapped up and he walked over to us. 

"Baby, careful" he said taking Ace's hands from my necklace. He grabbed my necklace and hair and started detangling it. Once he was finished he looked at Ace and said, "You can't do that buddy, it hurt mommy" Ace looked at me and cocked his head. I chuckled and kissed his head. I put him back in his seat and buckled him up. 

Sandro went back and helped Livi. After she got shoes we walked out and went to the food cart. 

By the time we were done in the mall the trunk was full of presents for the kids.
