*Gabriella’s POV*
When our parents arrive, they smother Xavier and me in cuddles and kisses.
Then they go and look over the babies.
Our mothers pick them up and begin to coo at them and speak to them.
While our fathers make themselves comfortable in the living room and watch football on the television.
I go to the kitchen and make them coffee and then slice some of the cake that Ruby baked for their arrival.
My adoptive mother comes and helps me. “Congratulations, Gab, they are perfect,” she says as she allows me to take the cake and coffee to the living room. I smile at her “thanks, Mum”, I say as I place the coffee down on the coffee table. Then I turn to her and hug her.
I take in her scent and enjoy being held by her, the woman who loved me even though I wasn't her blood.
