Molly hugged her friend ‘You are so right’

‘Your mum’s thrilled, by the way’

Molly looked across the lawn to where her parents and Dad’s new lady stood together, watching the proceedings, as though unsure hoelcome they were ‘I know, and this ti to accept that We both made mistakes, and I don’t want those to ruin the future My babies need their grandparents to be there for them like Gran was for me’

‘Babies? As in plural?’ Nathan had appeared beside her, two glasses of chane in one hand

She stretched up on the tips of her beautiful, pointy cream shoes and whispered, ‘Twins’

He shoved the glasses at Lizzie, reached for Molly and spun her around and up into his arhters, not one’

So h the first tri and cheeky colasses were raised, and finally Molly got one of her own to take, not one or two, but three s it aside No more for her until the babies were born ‘My husband, baby one and baby two I love you all’

‘Glad you rehed tiredly ‘Want to hold someone?’

‘Yes, you’ He placed the teddies on the only chair and held out the flowers ‘I bought every last Dutch iris in the shop’

‘Did you get so at hi and happiness

Dahter were a bonus It was Molly he woke up for every day ‘I love you, Molly Lupton’

She nodded ‘I know Love you back Now, about names’

That was an ongoing debate Hopefully they’d have it sorted by the time everyone went home Tomorrow
