BRIDGET’S P.O.V *Next day* So here we were again, except im not the one in the hospital bed, it’s Declan who is moaning about his leg just to get attention…
That’s when Nurse Julie walked in…I was instantly worried and I told Declan to shut up when he told me he wanted a panadol.
“What’s wrong with her?” I asked. “Nothing, she wants a cuddle with her mum actually” Nurse Julie grinned. “You mean?” I started as they wheeled the crib into the room and gently lifted Anna out and placed her in my arms.
She felt so light..compared to India anyway, she weighed 6.3 when I first held her, she was gorgeous and alert for a premmie, looking around and wondering who this strange woman was that was holding her.
“Hey Anna, I’m mum, that moaning man over there, that’s your dad” I grinned at Declan who took offence to the moaning bit. “Can I hold her?” Declan asked me after a while. “Do you promise not to moan about your leg again?” I asked him. He nodded so I handed her over to him. “Hey gorgeous girl I’m dad, your mum and I have been worried about you but your going to be ok now aren’t you?” He grinned at her, I got out my mobile and called mum.
MIRANDA’S P.O.V “Here comes the airplane Indy” I said trying to feed my granddaughter, although she never seemed to feed from anyone but her mum and dad. My phone rang so I said “Hold that thought” to India then picked it up. “Mum” Bridget said, “Guess what!”. “What?” I knew she was going to say that she held Anna before she did though. “Anna’s in Declan’s arms right now and I just held her, come up!” She said. “Sure I just need to finish feeding India” I told her. “Don’t worry I’ll do that, bring the food here, just come! And tell dad and Rebecca too” Bridget hung up.
DECLAN’S P.O.V I was holding my daughter as my mum came through the door holding India and she was followed by Miranda and Steve. “Hey” I grinned handing Anna to Bridget, “Indy!”. India crawled over and I picked her up, “Meet your little sister Anna!”. India didn’t understand what a sister was but she pointed at Anna and smiled. “I think some photos are in order” Steve got out the camera and started taking pictures of all four of us together.

DECLAN’S P.O.V “Wanna come Dec?” Donna asked me, “You, Didge, Indy and Anna”. “Come where?” I tuned back into the conversation, I was watching my wife as she bottle fed our daughter, India was sitting next to them. “To Echuca for Easter?” Donna asked. “I dunno depends on what Didge wants to do for easter” I said smiling at India who was now walking towards me. “Didge want to come to Echuca for easter?” Donna asked. Bridget looked at me with a concerned look on her face, “We need another car”. I smirked at her, “yes we do, I’m not giving away mine though”. Bridget shook her head and gave me a “We’ll talk about this later” look. “Anna’s finished her bottle, Dec come get her so that I can give Indy a bath” Bridget handed Anna to me, “We’ll take mum and dad’s car”. I nodded, “sure”. I gazed down at my daughter who was now six weeks old, she looked so gorgeous, having only come home the day before Bridget and I were still adjusting to life with two children. “Easters in three weeks, we are going to stay in tents but you four should probably stay in a cabin” Donna ranted on about her planned camping trip, “If we all put in $75 each we should have enough for a week for food, campsite and everything else”. I reached over to my wallet and pulled out $150 and handed it to Donna then started trying to make my daughter giggle. Donna almost looked shocked at my willingness to give away that much money, because she was not a parent she did not understand how little that money seemed after nappies, formula, babyclothes, babytoys, pram, crib, dummies and everyother thing possible is bought just for one baby. “Alright seeya” Donna got up and ran out as if she was worried that I’d want the money back. “Can you dress Indy?” Bridget asked walking back in with my daughter in a towel. “Sure” I said. “I’m going to go bath Anna now” She took Anna from me. “Dadda, dadda, dadda, dadda” India recited as I dressed her in her pink bratz pyjama’s that Donna bought her. I finished and then let her run over to her toys on the other side of the room and I turned the tv on. “So we’re going to Echuca?” Bridget asked me. “Yeah we’re camping there” I told her. “We cant camp with the babies” Bridget indicated Anna on the floor who she was dressing and India who was over playing with her toys. I looked at her then looked away, “maybe we should get a cabin then?”. “We cant afford a cabin” Bridget reminded me. “What about I borrow money off Paul” I asked. “Yeah and how are you going to pay that back?” Bridget asked. “Well he’s my step father now, he owes it to me” I told her. Bridget shook her head, “No Declan”. “I know I know, why don’t we sell Anna?” I joked. Bridget sent me a glare and shook her head, “You’re a dag”. “Well if we aren’t going I’ll have to go get the money back off Donna” I said. “What money?” Bridget asked. “That 150 that I found yesterday” I told her. “What 150?” She asked. “I told you last night just before we fell asleep” I said, “….or I fell asleep”. “Well I don’t remember it, where’d you find it?” Bridget asked me getting up and putting Anna in her bounce seat. “Oh in the parking lot at Lassiters” I told her. “Donna lost 150 there yesterday” Bridget said amused. “You’re joking right?” I asked laughing. “Yep well at least she has the money back now?” Bridget laughed. India started laughing too, which made us laugh harder.

BRIDGETS P.O.V *3 weeks later* After a lot of nagging Declan finally convinced me to go on the camping trip with the others claiming that Ringo and Zeke would cry if he didn’t.
So we borrowed mum and dad’s car, packed our stuff and by 10am we were on the road.
“God car drives are boring” Declan said as we passed through Benalla, “It’s just town after town after town”. “You wanted to come….” I started but Declan cut we off “I know!”.
I looked behind the seat at our two daughters, India in her front facing car seat looking smug that she’s in a ‘big girls’ seat. Anna was asleep with her dummy limply in her mouth, times like these I loved my children, then other times like this morning I don’t.
*Flashback* I heard screaming from the baby monitor, Declan rolled her and mumbled “It’s your turn”. I slowly got up and went into the nursery where Anna was bright red from crying so much. I picked her up, “Hey shh sweety your going to wake your daddy”. Apparently this was the wrong thing to say because Anna started wailing. I quickly ducked into the kitchen and warmed up one of her bottles from the fridge, she decided she didn’t want to take it however pushing it away with her tiny hands. So I checked her nappy, there was nothing there, so I thought that she may have a pain in the tummy, so I sat down and laid her on top of me and rubbed her belly. She stopped crying for a little while and fell asleep but as soon as I moved she was awake again and screaming. That’s when Declan came out to see what was wrong.
“Is she ok?” He stumbled in wearing only his Bart Simpson boxers. I shrugged “I dunno what’s wrong with her”. “Maybe she’s hungry?” He asked. “I tried feeding her already” I told him. “Gas?” He asked. “I think she has a pain in the tummy but I cant get rid of it” I told him. He came over and picked her up, “Pee You! Anna Napier way to make a smell”. I smiled at this as Declan checked her nappy and found it was full, “There’s your problem!”. “But I only just checked if she was wet!” I told him. “Well there’s your problem, she’s not wet she’s pooey” He smirked. I shook my head and yawned, “Well I’m going back to bed”.

BRIDGET’S P.O.V “This is more like it!” I collapsed into bed just after Declan and I finally got India and Anna down to sleep for their afternoon naps. Declan climbed on to the bed too and gave me a seductive look. I shook my head at him. He gave me his puppy dog face. I shook my head again. He shook his head looking disappointed but gave me a ‘we’ll do this later’ look then left. I drifted off to sleep with the thought in my head that I had just had a conversation with my husband without saying anything, and realised that this happens quite often.
I awoke a few hours later to Donna’s yapping in the kitchen of our cabin, Declan was trying to get her to keep quiet but I got up, “It’s ok I’m up” I yawned, “How was your trip up?” I asked Donna. “It would have been good if Ringo hadn’t have put Red Hot Chilli Peppers on for the whole time!” Donna exclaimed. “You suggested it!” Ringo told her. “Yeah but we didn’t need to hear Dani California ten times in a row” Donna told him, “It’s ok your learnding!”. “What’s learnding?” Ringo asked. They continued to bicker as Declan shot me a look and jerked his head to the girl’s room. We walked in there and both our kids were wide awake in the same positions in their cots and not crying. “I think we have perfect kids” Declan whispered lifting India out of her cot. I picked up Anna and then said “Hey Dec, have you ever noticed that we have silent conversations?”. Declan stood for a moment thinking “No but I do now”. “WELL IF THAT’S THE WAY YOU FEEL ABOUT MY SLANG WORDS THEN DON’T USE THEM!” Donna yelled before slamming the door on her way out. “DONNA WAIT” Ringo did the exact same thing. I looked at Declan as if to say I wish that they’d have a silent conversation. he just laughed at me.
