Tim steps aside and allows the visitors to enter the room.
Coco & Emily: "Mummy!" Tim closed the door to give them some privacy.
Lucy: "Hey darlings, are you ready to meet your new siblings?" Both girls were nodding.
Coco: "Daddy can we meet out baby siblings?" 
Tim: "Of course, there's two of them so you can take turns holding in each of them. Now remember to be gentle."
Coco & Emily: "Yes sir." Tim giggles while helping the girls onto the bed, before getting in himself. He took Lexi from Lucy and held her.
Tim: "Who wants to sit with me?" The girls looked at each other then at their parents.
Coco: "I'll sit with you daddy and Em can sit with mummy." Both girls settled on their parents laps, then Tim and Lucy places their sisters in the arms to hold them.
Lucy: "Girls, these two are your baby sisters."
Emily: "Sisters? Do they have names?"
Tim: "Yeah they do. Em you're holding Phoebe Rose Bradford and Coco you're holding Lexi May Bradford."
Lucy: "Lexi will need some extra help and attention as she is the smaller twin."
Emily: "Can I help you with her mummy?" 
Lucy: "Of course Em, you want to protect your younger sister." Emily nods. The girls admire over their sister before they swap. Emily was extra careful with Lexi, the twins open their eyes.
Coco: "Phoebe has daddy's eyes."
Emily: "And Lexi has mummy's eyes." Emily was looking down at Lexi, Lexi was looking up at Emily and she snuggled against her older sister with a smile on her face. Tim, Coco and Lucy watched the interaction between Emily and Lexi.
After some more time, Tim texts Angela letting her know the other could come in. After some time, the others entered the room.
Nyla: "Hey Lucy, how are you?"
Lucy: "Hey, I'm a little sore but very happy. I would like you all the met Phoebe and Lexi Bradford."
Angela: "Tim's a girls father. He's outnumbered."
Tim: "Doesn't matter, I've got my favourite girls in the world so it doesn't matter."
Grey: "Can we hold the girls?" Lucy nods. Tim gets out of bed taking one twin at a time over to the others. Emily and Coco carefully cuddled up to Lucy. Emily was carefully looking over at Lexi, Angela notice this.
Angela (whispering): "Tim, Emily is watching Lexi like a hawk." Tim turns around to see what Angela is talking about.
Tim (whispering): "Yeah, I'm guessing Emily wants to protect Lexi as they are similar. Both the smaller twin, Em went through hell so she doesn't want Lexi to experience the same thing."
Angela (whispering): "Yeah that makes sense." After a few hours of hanging together, the gang said their goodbyes leaving the family alone.
Tim requested for a second bed in the room. Tim and Coco settled down on the other bed while Emily and Lucy were on the other bed.
Coco: "Daddy, how long is mummy going to be in the hospital?"
Tim: "Just a few days."
Coco: "Okay, will we be going to school?"
Tim: "I'll speak with your mum. We might send you a few days and then keep you home. It will depend on how everything is going." Coco and Tim said goodnight. While was cuddled up to Lucy.
Emily: "Mummy, will I be able to you will my sisters?" Lucy could see something else playing on her mind.
Lucy: "If you want to, but is there another reason you want to help out?" Emily just nods.
Lucy: "Hey, it's okay to share it with me."
Emily: "It's Lexi. She is just like me, the smaller twin. I just want to help and protect her like Coco did for me."
Lucy: "Oh Em, that's so sweet of you. You're going to be the best big sister for Lexi, she's lucky to have you as her sister. Now let's get some sleep."
They all fell asleep, Lucy only had to feed the girls once but other than that they also slept through the night.
