Avery nodded, looked at Gracie and then hurried over, just as they were finishing up with Harper. The nurse turned and gave him a smile. "Nothing major to be concerned about..." The nurse began, but that's all Avery heard, all he needed to hear. She passed Harper to him and he walked her over to Gracie. He couldn't help but admire how beautiful she was. "Gracie girl, Harper wants to say hi." He was prepared to put their first born in her arms.

Gracie heard the nurse's words to her boyfriend and smiled. As he walked over she grinned and looked at the baby in his arms. "Can I hold her?" she asked with a weak look up to him. She didn't want to take time away from him, but she honestly couldn't wait to get her hands on that little girl. She'd been living inside for almost eight months, it seemed she was empty and she needed that little girl. "Just for a few minutes and then you can hold her again, I promise."

Avery smiled as he passed Harper to Gracie. "Babe, you have every right to hold her for as long as you'd like." He kissed her cheek and the baby's head and went to check on Devyn. Lucky for him, the nurses has finished cleaning her up and checking her out as well and he was free to hold her while Gracie got Harper. "Take all the time you need, babe." He walked over with Devyn in his arms and after a kiss to her forehead he began to admire her tiny fingers and all the other tiny features. "You're going to make next week impossible..." He said to the tiny newborn.

Gracie smiled down at the little girl in her arms. She was grinning so wide that it was probably scary. "Hi there, pretty baby," she said softly. "How do you like the world?" She ran her finger along the newborn's cheek and then played with her tiny fingers. She looked up at Avery and smiled again then looked back down. "You're beautiful. Look how pretty she is." She didn't take her eyes off of the little girl but offered Tally a look as well. "She is. They both are. I'm going to go outside and tell everyone that they're perfect. You guys take as long as you need. Come get us when you're ready for visitors, Avery."

Avery nodded at Tally and then sat on the edge of Gracie's bed with Devyn. He angled Devyn up for Gracie to see as well. "You did so good, Gracie girl." He kissed her cheek and ran his hand gently down Harper's head. "Let me know when you want me to go get everyone."

Gracie smiled and looked up at her other baby girl. She nodded, "I just wanna look at them for a few minutes. I know they'll be dying..." She let out a soft, happy sigh and then kissed Harper's forehead. She looked back up at Devyn and smiled. "I don't know which one to look at. They're both so gorgeous. I love our little family." She shook her head before she looked up at Avery. "I love you. Thank you. You're the best boyfriend ever."

Avery couldn't agree with Gracie more, he just wanted to look at them and hold them for forever, but he also knew that his mother would probably kill him if he didn't let her see and hold one or both of her precious grand daughters. "I love our little family too, I'm going to be thinking about the three of you non stop when I'm gone. He passed Devyn to her, put an extra pillow beneath the arm holding Harper and kissed her on the cheek. "I'll be right back." He went out to the waiting room and with a huge, unremovable smile on his face, he greeted his family and Gracie's. "I'm sure Tally's already told you, but they're absolutely gorgeous, come see." He stood to one side and put his arm around his mom's waist as she joined him. "Gracie did good."

Gracie grinned as she was handed her other daughter. She stared down at the two babies and shook her head lightly. They had come from her. She and Avery had made them and now they were here, perfect and beautiful, but Avery was going to be gone within the week. She sighed, "You guys aren't even gonna know your daddy until you're at least one. He's an awesome man. I wish you'd be able to see that before he leaves... But you probably won't remember him when he comes home. You'll think he's uncle Monte..." She sighed again and watched her little girls, a tear fell from her eye and she leaned down to kiss each of the girls' foreheads before she could hear footsteps coming.

Avery, Monte, Leah and Guy hung back to let Ms. Conner and Tally go first. Monte seemed to be back to normal and was back at his brother's side. "Should I introduce myself as daddy when I meet them?" He whispered, a joking tone clearly evident. Avery glanced at Monte and shrugged. Leah on the other hand was not at all happy with her son's comment and made it clear with a flick to Monte's ear. "Joking mom..." He leaned in closer to Avery. "Damn, I didn't think I was that loud." Avery ran his fingers through his hair, his eyes glued on his two girls. "You might as well, hell our chemical make up is exactly the same, they could be yours..." He took his eyes off his beautiful girls for a second to glance at his mom and with a mischievous smile looked at Monte, lowering his voice he added. "You know the doctor's could have got the age of the girls wrong, they could be yours, you know..." Monte flicked Avery's ear. "Don't play, they're yours and you and I both know it and I'll make sure when you come back in a year, that they know who you are..." Avery's eyes had returned to his daughters, but were suddenly turned back to Monte. Monte didn't have to say anything else and Avery didn't need him to, he already knew what Monte meant.

Gracie smiled as the two families walked in, hers stepping up to the bed first. At first they just looked but then they were all about it, Gracie handed Harper to her mother and Devyn to Tally. "They look so much like their daddy," Tally said with a slight smile. Gracie looked up at Avery and smiled proudly. She was glad that he was the father of her baby. Karissa smiled at her daughter and the baby in her arms then handed her back to Gracie. "I love you honey. I have to get back to work, I wish I could stay longer. I'm proud of you." Gracie smiled as her mother kissed her forehead and then she nodded for Avery's family to come over and see the little bundle in her hands.

Avery gently pushed his mom toward Gracie's side and then stepped back to give the excited grandmother room to admire, coo, and be smitten with Harper. Guy joined his wife and played with Harper's little fingers and Avery joined Gracie. "Hey, they look like you too."

Gracie smiled at the girl's grandparents as they played with her. She watched them and then glanced at Avery with his statement. She nodded. "Yeah, but they have your pretty eyes..." She said softly. She looked up at Leah and smiled. "Do you wanna hold her?" she asked, offering her the baby in her arms. Tally smiled and looked at Guy, "I'll share too. Here, Grandpa, hold your grandbaby."

The excitement in Avery's parent's eyes was hard to hide they were over thrilled to hold the two girls. Leah took Harper from Gracie and Guy took Devyn from Tally and then went back to one another's sides to share each bundle with the other. "I bet you won't have a hard time calling my parents over to give you a break." Avery grinned, kissing Gracie's lips gently. "I bet that's the only feature of mine they'll keep as they get older. The dark hair will probably fade to your lighter color, just you watch." He didn't know that for sure but he could dream. "How are you? You want me to clear these guys out of here so you can rest?"

Gracie smiled and shook her head, "I doubt that. I bet their hair will get darker, that's usually how it happens. I was blonde when I was born." She shook her head lightly again and looked at him. "No. Let them spend a little time with the girls. I'll be fine. You're going to stay here tonight, right?" she asked lightly. Tally glanced at her sister and then at the babies with a smile. "I'm going to call Zane and tell him that the babies are here. I'll be right back." Gracelyn nodded and then looked back at Avery. "I really can't wait to get them home. I bet since they're healthy they'll get to come back at the same time as a regular baby..."
