"Goodnight Zach, goodnight Taylor." I kissed my 5 year old twin boys, going over to where the door was, turning off the lights before I heard Zach say,

"When's daddy coming home, mommy?"

I turned around, smiling sadly at him.

"Daddy's not coming home for another few more days, Zach....He's on a road trip with the team, remember?"

Zach nodded, before going back to sleep. I went to my shared bedroom adjacent from the boys' room. I changed into a Capitals shirt and a pair of joggers before going on to Michael's side of the bed.

At around 1 in the morning, I heard the front door open and footsteps run up the stairs. I just ignored it and went back to sleep. The bed dipped, must've been the boys trying to sleep with me, before a familiar pair of arms were wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer to him.

"I missed you so much, baby girl." He whispered in your ear, kissing your cheek.

I fully woke up, turning on the lamp that was on the bedside table. I turned around, finding my husband, Michael Latta, right in front of my eyes!

"Michael, what are you doing here! I thought you weren't coming back for another 2 days?" I started to tear up, with Michael wiping away the tears.

"The game in Montréal got canceled. Apparently, there's a severe thunderstorm roaring over Quebec and the airport canceled their incoming and outgoing flights for the next few days..."

I nodded my head, before kissing him on the lips.

"Would you like to know if baby Latta's a boy or a girl?"

"I've been thinking about it ever since I left for the road trip..."

"Would it be helpful if I said we're having a little girl?"

Michael's eyes started watering, before the door opened and in the doorway, stood out two little boys.

"Daddy, you're home!" Zach and Taylor jumped on the bed, tackling Michael in the process.

"Hey boys, I missed you on the road. But, luckily I came just in time for your birthdays." Michael chuckled, running his hand over their hair.

You grabbed your phone, taking a family selfie, when I thought it was the perfect time to say something.

"So boys, what would you like for your birthday in 2 days?" Michael asked the boys, winking at you.

"Well daddy, we would like a little brother or sister to play with..." Zach held on to Michael.

"Would you like a new little sister?" I tickled them and they shrieked with laughter.

"Really!?" They looked with big eyes, "We're going to be awesome big brothers!"

I smiled, kissing Zach and Taylor's cheeks.Michael and I let them sleep with us tonight, since it was 3 in the morning. What a happy family we were.
