It was a month later and Sophie and Sky were in the family room talking about their twins. "They'll be here soon" Sky smiled caressing her baby bump softly in circles. "I know and I can't wait" Sophie smiled. "It feels like a lifetime that I have been pregnant." Sky nodded "Just waiting for their entrance into the world" Sophie smiled. ""Why can't it just happen already?" She said. "I wish it would" Sky said. Sophie stood up smiling and was about to go to the kitchen when a sharp pain hit her hard. "Ow, Sky, I think your wish just came true. My water just broke" She gasped. "Oh my god" Sky said shocked, standing up quickly and rushing to her. "Sky get me to the hospital now! Arghhhh" Sophie screamed as a contraction hit her.
Sky nodded and supported her to walk. "Do you want your mum to come?" He asked. Sophie nodded her head. "Okay" Sky said trying to keep calm. "Donna!" He shouted. Donna came rushing in. "What's wrong?" She asked. "The twins are coming" Sky said quickly. "Oh my god, come on I'll drive you both" said Donna. Sky helped Sophie to walk. Another contraction came. "Oh dear god" Sophie screamed. "Shh, it's going to be alright" Sky said softly. "Hold my hand as tight as you want" Sophie groaned. "I don't want to hurt you" She said. "Its fine babe" Sky said. Sophie smiled weakly.
"Come on let's get you to hospital" Sky smiled reassuringly, supporting her to walk. Sophie nodded. Sky helped her into the car and Donna drove them to the hospital. Sky held her close all the way, whispering soothing words to her. Sophie breathed her way through the contractions as they came. "That's my girl, stay nice and calm" Sky said softly. "I don't think I can do this" Sophie said. "Shh, you're going to be just fine" Sky said. Sophie tried to smile. Sky kissed her. "Trust me, you're be fine" Sophie nodded. Sky held her close. Donna soon came to a stop at the hospital. Sky helped Sophie from the car.
Another contraction hit as she used the breathing technique that her midwife had taught her. Sky and Donna walked her to the maternity ward and Sophie was quickly taken into a room. Sky helped her get comfortable on the bed and held her hand. Sophie breathed deeply in and out as contraction after contraction hit her. Sky kissed her head. "Everything is going to be alright" He whispered. Sophie nodded. "Ice, I need ice to eat, bite on whatever that thing is they give people in movies" She said. "Okay" Sky replied. "Donna, can you go get some, I don't wanna leave her"
Donna nodded and rushed away through the door. "How far apart are the contractions Angel?" Sky asked. "4 minutes" Sophie breathed as Donna came back. "Okay" Sky nodded. Donna handed the ice to Sophie and sat besides her holding her hand. Sky caressed Sophie's stomach. "Look at it like this Soph, you'll be holding our girls soon" He said. Sophie nodded. "Yeah, I can't wait to hold them in my arms". Sky smiled. "Me either". Sophie lay there, chewing up pieces of ice as the contractions hit her hard for what seemed like hours, Sky running his hand up and down her arm softly. A contraction hit her again and she groaned out loudly through the agonising pain. Sky sighed, hating to see her like this.
"Sky, I think they're coming" She breathed. Sky looked at her for a moment before rushing to get a midwife. Donna held Sophie's hand tightly. "You're doing great baby girl, they'll be here soon" She said softly. Sophie nodded. Sky came back with a midwife. "Soph thinks they're coming" He said. The midwife parted her legs and checked her. "Ok Sophie, they're defiantly coming now" She said. Sky sat back beside Sophie and held her hand. "When the net contraction comes you push, Ok?" She said. Sophie nodded. Sky kissed Sophie's cheek. "You can do this babe" He said.
A contraction come and Sophie pushed. "That's it, keep going" The midwife said. "ARGHH" Sophie screamed while pushing. Sky bit his lip as Sophie squeezed his hand. She stopped and collapsed on the bed. "You're doing great. Her head is crowning" The midwife said. Sophie turned to Sky. "I can't do this" She breathed. "Yes you can, keep going for our girls" Sky said softly. "Okay Sophie, start pushing again" The midwife said again. Sophie pushed twice as hard, as a sharp crying noise came. Her first daughter was born. Sky smiled. "See there is twin one" He said.
Sophie sighed. The midwife checked her again. "Twin number two is coming; you push like you did with your other one". Sky held her hand caressing her palm."You can do it, you did before" He said. Sophie cried. "Shh Shh" Sky soothed. "You can do this baby girl" Said Donna. Sky gently ran his fingers through her hair in attempt to sooth her. The contraction hit and she started pushing again. "Good girl babe" Sky said. Sophie screamed out through her tears. Sky hoped the baby would be born soon; he wanted Sophie's pain to stop. "Come on Sophie, keep pushing. You can do it" Said the midwife.
"You can do it angel" Sky said. "I can't, I can't, I can't. It hurts" Sophie cried. "It's alright, Shh baby" Sky soothed. Sophie kept pushing. "Her head is out and now her arms. Come on Sophie" Said the nurse. Sophie pushed as hard as she could as a cry could be heard. "Well done baby you did it" Sky said happily. The nurse cuts the cord and wrapped her up in a blanket. "You did great baby girl" smiled Donna. Sky kissed Sophie's forehead, caressing her cheek. The nurse brought both of them to Sophie and laid them on her chest. "Oh my God" Sky smiled seeing them for the first time.
"They're so beautiful" Smiled Sophie. "Yes they are, they look like you" Sky smiled softly. Sophie smiled through her tears. "Are they happy tears now?" Sky asked. Sophie nodded and smiled. Sky smiled, a tear coming down his cheek. He hugged his three girls. The nurse came. "We have to take you to recovery now" She said. Sky nodded hearing her. Two nurses come and took Sophie to recovery.
Sky smiled to Donna. "Wow, Im a dad". Donna smiled and hugged him. "Congratulations, they're perfect". Sky smiled brightly. "How long will they be in recovery for?" He asked. "It's usually 30 minutes I think" Donna said. "Okay" Sky nodded, smiling brightly unable to believe any of this. "Wow and Im a grandma. That's scary" Donna giggled. Sky chuckled. "I can't believe my baby girl has her own baby girls now" Said Donna. "I can't believe they're finally here" Sky said. "I know" Donna agreed.
30 minutes flew by quickly and they wheeled Sophie back in but she was sleeping. Sky smiled seeing her peacefully sleeping. He sat on the bed beside her, gently stroking her hair. Donna held her hand and kissed it. Sky kissed Sophie's head gently. "I love you so much" He whispered. "I love you too" Sophie whispered back, without opening her eyes. Sky smiled. "Sorry I woke you" He whispered. "Its okay" She smiled. "How are you feeling?" Sky said. "Great. Where are the girls?" Sophie asked. "The maternity ward nursery, sleeping like little angels." Sky smiled. Sophie smiled. Sky moved to lay with her on the bed.
"I did it, they're here" Sophie smiled. "Yes you did it, my brave strong girl" Sky smiled. Sophie smiled softly. "I'm so happy I did" She said. "Me too" Sky smiled. The nurse came in wheeling two cribs. "Our girls are here to see us" Sky smiled. Sophie smiled brightly at her girls as the nurse left. Sky carefully pulled the two cribs closer to the bed before helping Sophie sit up more. "I want to hold them" Sophie smiled. Sophie nodded and smiled. He looked to the girls before lifting one into his arms. "Hello gorgeous, you have a cuddle with mommy" Sophie smiled and held her arms out.
Sky smiled and laid one of their tiny daughters into Sophie's arms before picking up the other. "Hello baby girl, I'm your mummy" Sophie smiled brightly. Sky smiled watching her, holding his other daughter. "Which one is going to be Louisa and which one is Annie?" Sophie asked. "You choose beautiful" Sky smiled moving closer so she could see both their lovely little girls. "I think the one that you have looks like a Louisa and this one looks like Annie." Sophie smiled. "Okay then" Sky smiled. He kissed the baby in his arms forehead and smiled. "Welcome to the world" He smiled. "Happy birthday my beautiful Annie" Sophie smiled kissing her cheek.
