Chapter 14:
The day finally arrived. She was relaxing on the couch when she suddenly wailed in pain. "GEORGE!"
"Mary?" He was concerned when she started yelling and screaming. "Oh God! What's wrong?"
"My waters broke!" She wailed. "They're coming!"
"Oh geez Louise!" He made Pete get the emergency bag they'd packed for the hospital two weeks ago while he helped her to the car.
She wished she could have the baby in South Park so she didn't have to suffer the drive to Denver in agony. She clutched her bump and wailed. "OH GOD! IT FUCKING HURTS!"
"It's okay Mary." He tried to reassure her without being patronising. "We're almost there."
"I WANT THEM OUT NOW!" She shrieked.

No one else was allowed in the delivery room. He could hardly contain his excitement. He was about to be a father. He tried to have kids with his first wife, but they just couldn't get pregnant no matter what they tried. He was beginning to think something was wrong with him and he'd never have children of his own.
He reminded himself to thank Alex for dragging him to that council meeting. If he hadn't he'd be back in Long Island working for a charter fishing company and he would undoubtedly miserable. He wasn't even angry at Mary anymore. He'd forgiven her a long time ago and she didn't need to apologise even though she still did on a daily basis. He used to think his life was falling apart, but now everything was coming together. He didn't care if it were secret he was getting the family he'd always wanted.
The twins were safely delivered by caesarean section. Tears of joy rolled down his cheeks as he held his first born child who was wailing in his arms.
"My babies!" His wife exclaimed after the second twin was delivered and she was able to hold her.
He beamed with pride. "I'm finally a father!"

"What are you going to call them?" Alex asked when she finally allowed her children and immediate family to see them. The only cop in South Park Police department who knew about their relationship other than Alex was Officer Knowles who's sister Keisha married her son.
"What do you think George?" She only had one name in mind and couldn't think of any other names that might suit her babies.
"What about Lena?" He shrugged. They struggled to come up with names for their girls since she learned what gender they were.
"You're not suggesting that name because you like Lena Headey from Game of Thrones are you?" She asked curiously.
"N-no. I just like the name." He mumbled nervously.
She looked at the perfect little girl who was asleep in her arms. Both twins had Barbrady's brown hair with a blue streak inherited from her. They also had her hazel eyes. Lena suited the baby she held. "I like it. Her name is Lena."
"What about the other twin?" Pete asked.
She looked at Barbrady. She knew exactly what she wanted to call the other twin. "Olivia." He nodded and they filled out the birth certificates.
She cried tears of joy. "They're perfect." Despite all the chaos in her life recently she was content with how things were. She had given Barbrady children and she could enjoy this moment without Randy's constant harassment. She was glad she hadn't done anything stupid like resign from office. She thanked God because Alex had brought Barbrady back to her and she hadn't lost him forever. Even though he had forgiven her a long time ago and she'd done more than enough to make it up to him she would always be sorry for what she had done.
Her husband kissed her on the cheek. "I love you Mary."
She returned his kiss and she was grateful she still had him in her life. "I love you too George."
