Chapter 14

Nellie's stomach swelled to a great size over the next couple months. She is sitting on the couch with her legs stretched out in front of her rubbing her stomach. Sweeney walks in the front door and turns into the living room and sits down at the other end of the couch. He looks upset. Nellie opens her eyes and lifts her head off the back of the couch.

"How was work?"

"Terrible. Why are you wearing your boots?"

"Oh Toby and I went to the market. Then he went to his friends. I've gotten so big I can't take them off."

Sweeney moves closer to Nellie's feet and starts unlacing her boots. He pulls them off. She sighs, relieved from the pain her feet had been in. Sweeney throws Nellie's boots on the floor and starts rubbing her feet. Nellie lets out another sigh and lays her head back on the back of the couch.

"You're the best." She says.

Sweeney ignores her and continues to rub her feet. Luciana stands up in her cot and starts making noises. Sweeney stops and gets up to get her.

"Set her on the floor and watch what she has been learning." Says Nellie smiling. Sweeney listens. Luciana grabs hold of the couch and pulls herself up. Then she steps away and walks around the table hardly needing to hold on to anything. She stops right in front of Sweeney and smiles at him. He smiles back at her. Even though it was about an hour before her bed time Luciana starts rubbing her eyes.

"Come here baby." Says Nellie. Luciana walks up to her and Nellie lifts her off the floor. Luciana sits on her mother's legs. She eventually gets so tired that she falls asleep with her head against her mother's large stomach. Nellie laughs.

"Good thing this one isn't moving or she would be awake again." Says Nellie placing her hand on her stomach. "Can you take her upstairs?"

Sweeney nods and lifts Luciana up and carries her up the stairs. Nellie stands up just as he comes back down. He smiles at her and walks over. He puts a hand on her round belly.

"You're huge."

"Ugh, I know!" says Nellie as she places her hand over his. "I swear this baby is 2 times bigger than Luci was." She turns her head and looks up at him. He kisses her.

"You're still beautiful, even with the huge stomach."

Sweeney hardly ever said things like that but each time he did Nellie's heart flutters. "Really?"

He answers back with a kiss. They walk upstairs and crawl into bed. Nellie lays on her side and faces Sweeney.

"Of course it starts kicking now." Whispers Nellie.

Sweeney places his hands on her stomach to feel. "How many legs has it got?! It feels like more than 2."

"I know. I think it punches and kicks at the same time."

Suddenly the kicking stops but the baby starts moving as if it doesn't have room. "Do you feel that too?" she asks Sweeney.

He nods looking at her stomach confused. It definitely feels like more than one baby.

"Sweeney, what if it's twins?"

"Do you think?"

"Maybe." Says Nellie with an excited laugh.

Sweeney cups his hands around Nellie's face and pulls her into a kiss. He has a smile on his face when he pulls away. Nellie tangles their hands together.

"What do you want this time?" she asks.

"What?"

"Genders. What do you want?"

"Oh… uh… I don't know." Says Sweeney nervously.

"If you want a boy you can tell me. It's not like I have much of a choice as to what the gender is."

"It might be fun to have a boy that's our own." Says Sweeney as he rolls onto his back. Nellie snuggles up to him and closes her eyes.

"Yeah." She says just before she falls asleep.

About a week after the doctor confirms that Nellie is having twins. She comes home so happy that she ignores the doctor's order of taking it easy since she was getting really large. She is in the kitchen about to serve out dinner when Sweeney comes home. He walks in and grabs a plate looking really upset.

"Bad day Love?" asks Nellie sitting down at the table next to Toby. Luciana starts fussing wanting her food. Nellie pulls Luciana's high chair over and gives her a spoonful of her mushed up food.

Sweeney grunts in reply. Nellie can't help but smile.

"Well I had a lovely day." She says looking over and winking at Toby who already knew about the babies. Toby smiles back at her.

Sweeny says nothing a shovels more food into his mouth.

"Ow." Says Nellie putting a hand on her stomach.

"You ok?" asks Sweeney who had decided to break is silence.

"Yeah, just a pain. I'm fine."

"So.. uh… what did you two do today?" asks Sweeney trying to make a conversation happen just so it wasn't quiet.

Toby decides to talk first. "Just a normal day at school for me."

Sweeney takes another bite of food. Nellie can't restrain herself anymore.

"I went to the doctor. Told me everything was great with the babies, but they were due about 2 days ago so he said I need to take it easy."

Sweeney chokes on his food.

"Are you alright?!" says Nellie.

"Did you say babies?"

Nellie gets a big smile on her face. "Yes, I did." She says as she gets up and takes her and Toby's plates to the sink.

"Twins?"

"Yes."

Sweeney stands up and pulls Nellie into a hug. He pulls away smiling. Nellie's smile gets bigger and she breaks away to take Luciana into the living room. Toby runs off to his room to read.

"Can you watch her while I go take a bath?" asks Nellie handing Luciana to Sweeney seeing as she can't hardly bend over to place her on the floor.

"Yeah."

After she finishes she comes downstairs with wet her and in her night gown. Sweeney is sitting on the floor smiling as Luciana runs circles around him. She stands in the doorway with a hand on her stomach smiling at them. Sweeney grabs Luciana and starts tickling her making her laugh like crazy.

"Let her breathe!" laughs Nellie as she walks in to sit on the couch. Sweeney jumps at the sound of her voice.

"How long were you there for?"

"A couple minutes."

Luciana settles down and crawls onto Sweeney's lap rubbing her eyes.

"Aww." Says Nellie.

"I'm going to take her upstairs." Says Sweeney and he lifts her up and stands to walk out of the room. Nellie nods in reply. She had been having more pains while she was in her bath and now that she was out they were worse. She almost yells when Sweeney walks back in and sees the pained look on her face.

"What's wrong?" he asks standing awkwardly in the doorway.

"I don't know. If I didn't know better I would say I'm having contractions but my water hasn't broke yet." Nellie's eyes get wide. "Unless it broke while I was in the bath."

"Do you think it did?"

"I think so." Says Nellie as she has another pain.

"We need to go then." Says Sweeney as he helps Nellie off the couch.

"We can't leave Toby and Luciana by themselves."

"Toby!" yells Sweeney.

Toby walks out of his room. "What?"

"Could you make sure Luciana is ok while I take Nellie to the doctor? She is sleeping in her cot so you don't have to watch her that closely. Just got up and check every once in a while. I'll come back once I get Nellie there."

"Yeah. What's wrong?"

"Nothing sweetheart." Says Nellie putting on her best smile as they walk out the front door.

Nellie had in fact been in labor and it went a lot better than her last one. Sweeney had left once Nellie was with the doctor so that Toby and Luciana wouldn't be home alone all night. The next morning Nellie is sitting in her bed at the hospital holding one of the babies while the other is in the cot. Sweeney walks in.

"There you are." She says smiling at him.

"Sorry I had planned on coming back but Luciana wouldn't sleep and…"

"Shhh" says Nellie. The baby in the cot had started fussing. "You'll wake her up and she refused to sleep last night."

Sweeney walks over and looks down at the sleeping baby with a small smile on his face.

"I just spent most of the night in a lot of pain so that you would have babies to come back to but by all means take your time in comforting me." Says Nellie trying not to smile. Sweeney walks over and kisses Nellie.

"Better?"

"Much." Says Nellie smiling up at him. The baby in Nellie's arms start fussing. "How would you like to hold your son?"

"Son?" says Sweeney smiling.

"Yes." Says Nellie handing the baby to Sweeney. He looks to awkward holding the baby. Like he doesn't want to break it.

"Relax. You aren't going to hurt him."

Sweeney sits down in the chair next to the bed. "Did you name them?"

"No. Thought you would want a choice as to what their names were."

Sweeney looks at the baby with a look of thought on his face. "How about Henry?"

"Very cute." Says Nellie. "Since I named Luciana you can name her too."

"I'm clueless on girl names."

"I was thinking Clara. If you like it…"

"I love it."

They smile at each other both feeling extremely happy.
