Double Celebration

Fiero's

It's now Alex's 8th month of pregnancy. I took my leave from work and my dad took over the company temporarily cause I want to focus on taking care of my wife and the twins.

Alex and I were just sitting here on the couch placed on the wide balcony of our house on the 2nd floor. My hand was resting on the back of the chair. She's smelling my neck while closing her eyes and caressing her stomach as well.

"One month to go, babies," she whispered in her stomach.

"Yeah," I said and hold her huge tummy as well. As soon as I hold it, I felt her tummy moved. The babies are moving erratically. It's moving away from her, so she's being pulled by the force of the twins.

"Ahhhh," she moaned loudly. The pain and joy were obvious in her eyes. The movement of his abdomen also lasted for one and a half minutes. Then she comfortably came back to my neck, looking exhausted.

"Sorry," I said.

She fixes her seat and looks at me, confused.

"For what?" she said, laughing.

I carefully pulled her into a hug, which she also obliged.

"I'm sorry I can't do anything to ease the pain that you're feeling," I said.

She chuckles, "Next time, don't be in a hurry to put it all inside. We're not in a race of 'who makes the baby fastest' you dumb!" she jokingly said and continue laughing at me.

"I'm serious, baby," I said, annoyed, but she just laughed at me.

A few minutes had passed and her tummy moved again, and this time it looks like it's more strong and more painful.

"I think we must go to the hospital," I said, looking frustrated at her state.

"No! I can still do it," she said, looking like she was having a hard time

"No, we must go!" I said and didn't let her speak.

I scooped her in my arms and asked Yaya Lucy to bring the bag I prepared and put it in the trunk of my car. Alex is continuously feeling the pain based on her face and her tight grip on my neck. I don't care if I choke from her grip. All I care about was her and the baby!

I drive to the hospital and asked her gynaecologist if we could let her in for a few days. The doctor checked her up. We did a few talking and doing paper works that's needed to be signed. Sitting in a wheelchair, I pushed her and walked to her hospital room.

Along the way, I met a colleague from my college days.

"Fire? Fiero! It's you! Long-time no see. What are you doing here?" she said happily and without saying a word, she hug me! I looked at my wife and I can see anger and jealousy in her eyes. I immediately pushed Nita.

"Hey, Longtime, I'm, Um-a, I'm here with my grumpy, pregnant wife and heading to our room," I said straightly. Her eyes look shocked and go down to someone who's sitting in the wheelchair.

"You're too bad you didn't even invite me to the wedding!" she hissed.

"Sorry, I forgot. I'll just invite you to our baby's christening," I said, "If you're still alive from my wife's deadly glares," and added at the back of my mind.

"Yippee okay, see you, congrats to he both of you Mr. and Mrs. Logan," she laugh saying her goodbye. When she's gone, I walked over and push the wheelchair where my wife was sitting. When we entered the room, Alex was silent, yet deeply staring at me.

I exhaled.

I know what she's thinking, and I needed to explain my side before these gets on another level of anger.

I fixed her IV bag and her bed first before explaining.

I explained to her all the things she missed way back in my college days. At first she was suspecting I'm cheating, but hell, I won't. Even in the darkest days of my life, I won't. A beer would suffice. After that long talk and explanation, she fell asleep.

A perfect sight to seize the goddess look of this woman is when she's asleep. She thinks when I'm on her side, I'm sleeping. Little did she know I'm seizing the moment she sleeps to appreciate her beauty inside and out. I've been fund of doing that habit since we got married. After 3 days of stay at the hospital and making sure nothings to worry about when the tummy's moving, we went out and just comeback when it's her due.

Time flies really fast. Today is the probable date of Alex giving birth to the twins. We already planned their names. We fought about this for 3 hours and 47 minutes.

Felix Simon Logan and Faire Briahna Logan…

Such wonderful names.

Alex is currently laying down on a hospital bed inside a private hospital near our house. I don't want to risk getting into a traffic and having accidents along the way in case his water bag explodes.

I don't like it because I'm frantic with emergencies. I don't know what to do first. Yes, I said I'll calm but no. What you said differs from what you really act.

So, overacting may it seems but their safety is my number one priority. I am now sitting on the couch inside her room as I watch her sleep. Getting bored sitting, I go near her and gazed at her lovely face. I brushed my fingers over her head and sit beside her bed.

I felt her move. She's awake.

"Sorry, did I wake you up, baby?" I asked as I continue to comb my hands against her hair.

"It hurts," she said hoarsely before I saw that her bed looked wet and there was blood running down her legs.

"I'm going to give birth, love!" she shouted softly, so I pressed the intercom and called the doctor.

They immediately assisted her and bring her inside the operating room.

On our way to OR, I can hear screams of pain. "Don't leave," she said weakly when they're about to go inside the room. I look at the doctor and asked permission. When we got in the OR, they assisted me in wearing things I needed to wear. After that, I go near my wife and held her hands.

"We can do this," I whisper to her as I held her hand tight and comb her hair out of her sweaty forehead.

"Babies, don't torture mommy," I whispered while just staring at her stomach when she moved. It was as if someone's wrestling inside. My children were fighting over who would come out first!

"Push it out. As hard as you can," said the doctor, and that's what my wife did.

Two and a half hours had passed and I can still hear her shouting in pain. The boy came out, but the doctor said that the girl was left in her womb with an umbilical cord tied around her neck. It doomed me when I heard it and I don't know what to do. The doctor said I must go out now cause they'll do a lot bloodier thing that I don't really know. I looked at my wife, who looks near at passing out but still tried nodding her head. Getting it was a sign that she's allowing me to go out. I walked out of the room and wait outside.

I called my parents to say the news. They said they'll immediately come, so I sat on the chair near the OR and wait for a few more minutes.

After 50 minutes of waiting. I heard two loud cries of babies and just a perfect time, my parents arrived. I stood up and hugged them both.

"I'm now a Daddy! Dad, Mom!" I softly screamed at them.

"Congrats my baby," mom said and we laugh. Even though she knew I had a baby, she still considered me as hers.

We were laughing when the doctor came out and said her congratulations to us. She said, they'll just clean up and send Alex to her room together with the babies. We just nod and followed what she said.

We wait for the room number that they have assigned to Alex. A few more minutes, two nurses assisted Alex into his room. She's sleeping.

I immediately go near her and kissed her forehead.

"Thank you for bringing our twins to the world. I love you," I whispered to her.

It's exactly 3 o'clock when the nurses delivered the babies. I excitedly go near the hospital bassinet and look at the babies. They both look like me. I am so lucky to have them.

"I love you both," I whispered to the two sleeping cuties. Not so long after the baby arrived, Alex woke up. I pulled the two cribs and lead to her way. I carry our baby boy and gave to her. I carried our baby girl and go near her as well to let her see the babies. She's smiling and I know despite the pains she's been through, she's happy giving birth to these two little cuties.

We were happily smiling at each other when we heard a clicking sound of a camera.

"Sorry can't help it. You guys look good together! Right hubby?" Mom said, grinning and my dad just nod.

We laughed our hearts out. Mommy's so compassionate and loving. She entertains my children. Even though they can't understand her, my heart melts at the sight of her loving my family. Mommy really is so caring.

We laughed our hearts out and celebrated the birth of my two children.

Welcome to the world, baby Felix and baby Faire. I, your dad, promise to be the best dad for you two…
