Bab 290: Welcome Home

The Hale twins were lucky; they only needed to be in the NICU for two weeks. During half of that time, Keeley was still in the hospital recovering from giving birth. Aaron refused to leave her side until she came home and pretended he had the flu to get out of work without his father suspecting anything.

The new parents spent a lot of time doing "kangaroo care" holding the babies with skin-to-skin contact against their chests. The NICU nurses highly recommended it to help the babies' development but it also helped calm Keeley and Aaron down. It was proof that their children were okay.

They got a steady stream of visitors too, starting with Valentina. Keeley gave birth in the hospital she practically lived in so the word got around that her friend was staying in the maternity ward fairly quickly.
