Chapter 17
After a week of staying in the hospital Emily was discharged and able to go home. She hated to leave without the babies but they were going to be in the hospital for a least a month or so longer. The boys were doing very well each gaining about 2 oz’s a day and the jaundice had pretty much was gone and they didn’t need to be under the lights anymore. Emily had spent almost every waking moment in the NICU and just the past 2 days she was able to hold the boys. Gracie on the other hand was still too sick. Emily and Caleb were able to hold her hands and stroke her face for the stimulation but she wasn’t ready to be held just yet.
The day Emily went home she went to say goodbye to the babies and give them kisses one last time for the day not only was she going home empty handed it was also Christmas Eve. She decided that she would come back in the morning with Caleb and stay for the majority of the day with them. Caleb took 2 weeks off of work to help me around the house and then when the babies came home he would take 2 more weeks off to help with them. What Emily didn’t know as Caleb had something very special up his sleeve for his new family. He took Emily home and got her all set up for the night with the TV remote and snacks so she didn’t have to get up. Emily was pumping breast milk for the babies to take in their tube feedings in hopes that it would help them get better quicker so she needed to eat small meals throughout the day and drink lots of water and milk. Once she was all settled he gave her a kiss goodbye and left to go work on his little surprise.
After 3 more weeks the boys were finally able to go home but Gracie was still not doing so well. She had gained weight but not quite enough to be able to go home, but the best news was Caleb and Emily were finally able to hold her and dress her up in the tiny little clothes Emily had bought her. Most of the newborn things were still way too big for the babies but the preemie stuff fits perfectly. The day the boys got to come home Caleb was finally ready to give them his surprise. He drove their new van that they decided to buy since the car was just not big enough for 4 car seats, a few blocks out of town in a nice rural country area and stopped in front of a very new looking house. Emily looked at Caleb but didn’t say anything. She was a bit confused but she figured she would keep her mouth shut and just go along with him. Caleb dug around his pockets and took out a single key and unlocked the door.
“Caleb…..” Emily said her voice trailing off not really knowing what she was going to say. She didn’t feel right going into someone else’s house but then again when she walked inside carrying Logan she just about fell to her knees. Hanging in the entryway across the banister was a huge sign that read “WELCOME HOME LOGAN, AUSTIN, JAYSON, AND GRACIE” Emily was speechless.
“I wanted to surprise you all on the day the babies came home, I wanted Gracie to see this but I just thought it couldn’t wait any longer. We didn’t have enough room to bring the boys home to our old house today so I figured we could bring them home to our new house.” He said. “I’ve been painting and decorating everything as much as I could without you.” He chuckled.
Emily still didn’t know what to say so she just gave him a kiss on the cheek and said “Thank you.”
Caleb gave Emily the tour of the rest of the house but saved the best for last. They stopped outside of a closed white door and Caleb told Emily to close her eyes. She did as she was told and Caleb opened the door and lead her inside the room. He told her to open his eyes. When she did she looked around and felt like she was in a baby wonderland. The room was huge and it was perfect, just the way she had envisioned it to be when she was pregnant. They put the babies in the cribs and looked down in on them. Everything was perfect. Well just about everything.
