Coming Home For Christmas

'A dad is a son's first hero and a daughter's first love'

Logan's

P.O.V.

I don't know if I've ever felt fear quite like what I'm feeling right now.

I always knew my wife would feel intense pain whilst in labour and I also knew that she'd have to have a cesarean as well because of complications with her first pregnancy, so I'm not completely naive about this but still, it's not easy watching all of this unfold. Lacey has helped to ease most of my fear just by being calm and relaxed herself.

I remember talking with my mom about the labour and what I should expect when it happens and she told me that I should always go off what Lacey's feeling and her demeanour if that makes any sense.

Like for example, if Lacey's not panicking or feeling scared then I shouldn't, so I'm trying to calm myself down and keep myself calm because I need to be my wife's tower of strength right now and I can't exactly be that if I'm freaking out now, can I?. After Lacey told me her waters had broken, I immediately brought her to the hospital and my parents followed behind us with our kids in their car.

When we arrived at the hospital, the doctors checked Lacey over before making arrangements to have her brought down for surgery and that's where we are right now.

The doctors are preparing to bring my new babies into the world and I can't help but feel really nervous as I wait for them to be born and to hear the sounds of their cries.

"Are you ok, my love?"

"Am I ok? shouldn't it be me asking you that question, Lace? you're the one being cut open, after all"

I say with a nervous smile and Lacey waves her hand at me.

"I'm fine, Logan, I've got you this time and you're a way better birthing partner than Carmella was"

"Why? because I'm your husband and I'm so handsome?"

I say jokingly with a cocky smile on my face and Lacey smiled back at me.

"That's one of the reasons, babe, the other reason is because I don't have to worry about you serenading me with some annoying a*s song unlike Carmella who wouldn't stop singing that stupid baby shark song during the entire time that I wa in surgery, she was even doing the dance moves as well"

She says while rolling her eyes and I chuckle.

"There's something not right with that girl" "You think"

Lacey said and we both laughed.

Our laughter was quickly cut off however by the sound of a loud cry.

"Congratulations, Mr and Mrs Black you've got a beautiful and healthy baby girl"

The doctor said whilst holding up our daughter for us to see and my heart skipped a beat upon seeing her.

She was then taken away by one of the nurses to get cleaned up but her cries were still loud and proud all over the room. "She's loud, baby, our daughter's got a good set of pipes on her"

"Yeah, she has, I think she's gonna be like Dayton, he screamed the hospital down too when he was born"

"Oh god"

I groaned and Lacey chuckled as I rested my forehead against our entwined hands.

Dayton is our wild child and I hoped he'd be our one and only wild child but it seems his partner in crime may have just been born if Lacey's words are anything to go by.

After cleaning up our daughter, the nurse brought her over to us and she was wrapped up in a white hospital blanket.

She was then handed to Lacey for about a minute or two before she was handed over to me and I couldn't resist shedding a tear as I looked down at the beautiful little princess that I helped to create.

Not long after I was handed my daughter, our son made his grand entrance into the world and he was just as loud, if not louder than his older sister.

"Congratulations once again, Mr and Mrs Black you've got a handsome and healthy baby boy"

Just like with our daughter, the doctor briefly showed us our son before he was taken away to be cleaned up, he was then brought over to us and he was handed to Lacey who was smiling down at our little boy with tears in her eyes. It seems that some sentences in this chapter require you to read the complete chapters on Job ni b.c om in order to avoid an incomplete reading experience. I stood up and placed my daughter on Lacey's chest so that she was lying on her front but facing her brother, I then wrapped my arms around my entire world and kissed Lacey on her head before resting my forehead against hers.

"Thank you, baby, thank you for giving me everything that I've ever wanted in my life"

"Ditto, babe"

Lacey smiled up at me and I smiled back at her as I leaned in and kissed her lips.

A Few Hours Later...

"I think for my sister we should call her either Elizabeth, Catherine, Sophie or Charlotte and for my brother, we should call him William, Harry, Henry or Charlie"

"So, anyone who is affiliated with the royal family, Teddy baby?"

Lacey asks our daughter with a chuckle as Teddy smiles brightly at us whilst nodding her head.

"Well, whatever your sister is called it has to go with your grandmother's name"

"What about, Bugs? she can be called Bugs Bunny then"

Teddy says excitedly and we all chuckle.

"Not Bunny, baby, I meant, your grandma Ruth"

"Oh"

Teddy said as she looked down at her sister and smiled.

She's so cute.

"What about, Sophia Ruth?"

Lacey and I looked at each other and I knew that she was seeing in my eyes what I was seeing in hers.

"That's not a bad idea"

I say and Lacey nods her head.

"Sophia always was my favourite Golden Girl as well, so it's perfect for her, hopefully, our daughter isn't as sassy and hasn't got a sharp tongue like Sophia Petrillo when she's older" Lacey says with a chuckle as she looks down at our brood.

"And what about this young man over here?"

She asks the kids with a smile whilst gently caressing our son's forehead with her thumb.

"I think we should name him after your grandfather, babe"

"But Duke's a silly name for a baby, dad"

Dayton says and I chuckle whilst shaking my head.

"I meant your grandfather's actual name son which is Joseph"

"Hmm, I like that"

Lacey said with a smile.

"Then it's settled then, our son's name is Joseph Oliver Black"

I said with a smile which got bigger when I saw Lacey's face scrunch together in confusion.

"Oliver? where did you get Oliver from?"

Lacey asks me.

"It's the male version of your middle name, babe"

I say whilst stroking Lacey's hair as her mouth forms into an O.

"We don't have to do that, Logan"

"I know but we've already tributed myself through our eldest son, so it's only right that we tribute you through our younge son, well, our youngest for now, that is"

I say with a smirk and Lacey chuckles slightly.

"Mummy, can grams and gramps come in and see Sophia and Joseph? they've been waiting to see you for ages now"

Dayton says and Lacey's head snaps up to me.

"Your parents are here, why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I didn't think you'd be up for visitors, love, you've just had major surgery and I can tell just from looking at you and looking into your perfect green eyes that you're exhausted" "Babe, go and get them"

Lacey says with annoyance in her tone.

"But Lace, you're tired"

"And I'll sleep when I'm dead, Logan, now go and get your parents"

She says and I wince when she says this.

I know it was just an innocent comment but still, I don't want my woman talking about her death in any kind of way, not even as a joke.

"Ok, fine"

I kiss Lacey's head before getting up and going to get my parents.

Unfortunately, when I got out there, I found that it wasn't just them who was here, our siblings and their partners had shown up here as well. "Hey guys"

"Hey son, how's Lacey and our grandchildren?"

"They're fine, they're great actually"

I say with a big smile on my face.

"Can we see them?"

My sister asks excitedly.

"Yes but you guys can't stay long because Lacey's exhausted"

"Oh, we won't, we just wanna see them and make sure they're ok"

My dad says and I nod my head.

"Well, come on then"

We all headed towards Lacey's room and my smile grew bigger and brighter when we walked in and I saw Teddy singing You Are My Sunshine to the twins.

"Oh, how precious"

My mom says whilst looking at my babies.

"Hi grams, come and look at the babies"

Teddy says and my mom giggles as she walks over towards the bed with my dad and everyone else in tow.

I made my way back over to my wife and I sat next to her on the bed wrapping my arm around her shoulders as I did. "Oh my, they're so beautiful"

"Have you guys picked out any names for them yet?"

My dad asks as he looks down at the twins in awe.

"Actually, we have, we've decided to name our son Joseph Oliver after Lace's grandfather and herself and this beautiful little princess over here is called Sophia Ruth after you, mom"

I said and my mom gasped.

"You named my grandbaby after me?"

"Of course, we did Ruth, my parents and David have already been honoured through our eldest three, so it's only right tha our newest princess would be named after her grams"

Lacey says and my very emotional mother hugged my wife and thanked her as tears filled her eyes.

My parents and our siblings didn't stay for long as promised, they just stayed long enough to congratulate us and also, so that they could all have a hold of the twins.

After everyone left, I sat and comforted my wife who was crying because the triplets had left to go home and spend the night with my parents.

My fears of Lacey having postpartum depression started to kick in when I saw her getting upset but she quickly alleviated any fears I had when she told me that this was the first time she's ever been away from our kids and she was just emotional because she didn't wanna be away from them.

The rest of the afternoon was pretty uneventful, Lacey and I had something to eat and she breastfed the twins simultaneously which was pretty amazing to watch.

I always knew my wife was a superwoman because she can do pretty much anything her mind sets itself to but this absolutely blew my mind and it made me love my wife even more than I already do which I didn't think was possible but it

is.

We also facetimed with Duke and Bunny who are currently on a cruise and they said they would celebrate the birth of our babies with some bubbly and we also facetimed with Luca and Klayton as well who were super excited to meet the twins. Klayton and Cassidy are also expecting their second child and I'm guessing that they're having a girl this time around because of the way their eyes lit up when we put the camera on Sophia, not to mention, Cassius expressed how much he wanted a sister like his cousins and how excited he was for his parents to give him one.

Right now, Lacey is fast asleep getting some much-needed rest while I'm sitting in a chair next to her bed with both of our twins sleeping peacefully in my arms and I couldn't contain the ecstatic smile that was on my face.

Not many people in this world are lucky enough to have one of their birthday wishes come true but I've been fortunate enough to have two of my birthday wishes come true.

The first wish I made on my birthday was when I was a younger lad and that wish was that god would bless me with Lacey as my wife when I was older and the second wish, as you all know is that our twins would be born on my birthday and they both came true.

I've got my dream girl, I've got five beautiful and incredible kids and my youngest two were born on my birthday like I wanted.

I'm feeling so unbelievably happy right now and my heart is so incredibly full.

This has honestly been the best birthday ever.
