"They're here!" syed grinned as he watched the car pull up outside of their flat.

"At last! I thought i was going to go insane if i had to wait any longer." Christian replied as he finished tidying some of Matilda's toys.

A knock at the door disrupted the two.

"Daddy!" Yasmin cried out as she ran into her fathers arms as Trish smiled warmly. 

"I missed you so much love." Syed said as he held on tightly to Yasmin.


"And here is Matilda!" Trish said as she handed the four-month-old over to Christian. 

"Hello cheeky!" Christian beamed as Matilda roared with laughter.

"I just need to go through a bit of paperwork and then i'll be off. Shall we sit down?" Trish asks as Christian nods.

Neither of the girls wanted to leave their parents so they end up as one massive group in their very small kitchen.

"So, you are aware that you'll have regular visits from your assigned social worker?" Trish cheeked as Syed nodded.

"Yes of course. We are willing to do anything." Christian replied.

"I'm glad to hear. I just need you both to sign this form and that will be all." Trish says as she hands the papers over.

Once the papers had been signed and Trish had left, both men relaxed.

"I'm glad i'm home." Yasmin smiled happily as she sat on the sofa, one parent either side of her. 

"We're happy you are home too. Both of you." Christian said as Yasmin giggled.

Deciding to celebrate, they ordered some pizza and spent the evening watching Disney movies.
