Millie Smith and Lewis Cann were over the moon upon the revelation that they would become parents. Having a number of twins in their family Millie had the gut feeling that she was carrying two babies herself and her mothers instinct didnt fail her.
The ultrasound showed that she was indeed expecting twins but even at the beginning of the pregnancy doctors could determine that one of the babies wasnt likely to survive.
