CHAPTER Five let's do it!

  I walked into the house,and the first thing I heard was Nadia's voice,"Mummy,we missed you.Is Alex staying?Can he please?"I couldn't help but smile at my twins.They were so adorable and innocent,and their excitement was contagious.

  I turned to Alex and said,"Looks like you're stuck with us for a while."

  Alex grinned,"I wouldn't have it any other way."

  The twins ran up to Alex and gave him a big hug."Alex,can you play with us?"Nadia asked,her eyes sparkling with excitement.

  "Of course,I can."Alex said,getting down on his knees and hugging them both.They were jumping up and down excitedly,and Maria came in and laughed at their happiness.

  "I'm so sorry that I can't stay any longer."Maria apologised profusely as she glanced at her watch and grabbed her handbag.I smiled at her and shook my head.

  "It's no problem.Thanks so much for having them again.I am so grateful for you."I told my dearest friend and gave her a quick hug goodbye.
