Chapter 1 - The twins
1.45am Monday
Daisy was born first, weighing 7'4. Her mother, Violet looked at her with such love but her work was not finished. The second was not far behind; Rose followed at 1.50am weighing 7'3.
Violet held both her daughters as tears of joy ran down her face. Looking over to her husband Jenson, she smiled and looked back down at her girls. Her beautiful bundles of joy that had caused her horrid heartburn for 6 out of the 9 months she was pregnant.
Jenson kissed her forehead.
'I am so proud of you Vi. You truely are a wonderful woman and i know you will be an amazing mother to our girls'
Violet turned to him and nudged the baby on her left. 'This one is Daisy and the other is Rose, what do you think?’
He looked at her, before kissing both his girls on the top of their heads.
'Welcome to the world Daisy and Rose Bow'
An hour later the nurse; known as Harriet, asked Violet how she was feeling and as a first time mother, she wasnt sure. She was happy, overjoyed infact but she was also scared. Scared of failing, of not being good enough for these two precious angels, whom already filled her heart with love she didnt know she had.
The birth of the twins had been an easy one. She had gone into labour at 12:00. By 12:20 she was in the hospital and half way dialted. The twins came into the world with zero complications meaning Violet could go home this evening if she was comfortable and both babies were drinking milk.
At 19:00 she was in the car and on her way home.
Violets brother, Oscar, had been at their house, making sure everything was ready in the girls bedroom. Him and Jenson had assembled the cots and laid the new carpet a few days before the girls due date. It had been a busy few weeks for the whole family.
The room was beautiful. Its dusty pink walls, accompanied by the light grey carpet, cute lampshade and little pink elephant curtains made her smile.
She had also purchased two shelves and some bunting which she had asked Oscar to put on the wall for her as she wasnt very good at DIY.
Opening the door, she exhaled, excited to start this new journey.
22:00 Monday
They wouldnt stop crying. Both of them.
As if they were connected. When one cried, the other was sure to cry. It was driving Vi nuts.
She sat on the sofa with Rose, feeding her a bottle, whilst Jenson was beside her feeding Daisy. Both mother and father were exhausted and couldnt wait to slip into bed.
Once both girls were in their cots soundly sleeping, Violet took a shower, brushed her teeth, put her pjs on and jumped into bed; making sure the new baby monitor system was working. She looked at both her babies one last time, before finally closing her eyes, meeting sleep.
But she would not be sleeping for long...
