Chapter 213 - Finally Coming Home

*Shelby*

**One Month Later**

I watched as Michael gingerly carried Thomas and Amelia's infant carriers down the hallway, away from the NICU where they had lived for the past month. I had never seen Michael so gentle. He held each carrier at an odd angle so he wouldn't bump the babies against his legs. Thomas and Amelia were sleeping peacefully, not aware that they were finally coming home but hopefully completely aware of just how loved they were.

I smiled to myself and pulled out my phone to capture a picture of this adorable moment.

"So cute," I said, looking at the picture that had turned out perfectly.

Michael and I had set up the nursery downstairs in the biggest bedroom of the townhouse. We had purchased everything in twos. Two cribs sat on opposite sides of the room with a twin bed in the middle, where one of us could spend the night if needed. Our bedroom was upstairs, and that was too far away from the babies for either of us to sleep there every night.
