Chapter thirty seven - February - March 2011
Everything was progressing nicely, the babies are doing fine, the house is going good should only be a few weeks from completion, we also found a new place here in New York to call base for when we are here, and it's actually ours not a rental like the last couple of places we have had.
I think I will miss New York when we move to Georgia but it's for the right reasons, as I'll miss Norman too much if he was away for six months as it's twelve episodes this season.
We had a Boondock convention to attend to in mid March, which I was asked to attend Sean Clark said he will make it as easy on me as possible even thou I'm due on the 18th of April but I could go any time from the middle of March so I was on tender hooks wanting both of us to attend as so many fans would be disappointed, also I'd hate to take Norman away if I went to early labour which I really didn't want but I'm not expecting to go full term, seeming they are twins.
I woke up for the third day of the of the the convention which has been awesome, feeling not so great today but I'm going regardless, the fans have been so nice. Actually most have been so friendly it's usually just sign something and take a photo, I was in the middle of getting pictures done when all of a sudden my water broke, "I'm so sorry ma'am I've wet your shoes, Joanne can you get Norman and tell him what's happened oh fuck. I'm so sorry for swearing ma'am can you give me your address and I'll get you a gift card so you can get new shoes okay."
"Honestly honey, it's okay, you don't have to do that." Norman came rushing over.
"Delta are you okay?"
"Not really babe, bloody hell, I don't want them here what are we gonna do?
"Let's get you to the hospital and have some babies."
"Okay, ouch, that hurts." The paramedics that were stationed at the convention came to us.
"Okay ma'am we are here to take you and your baby to the hospital.
"Babies."
Okay babies."
"Oh god I feel like I have to push."
"Well let's take you away from here, otherwise people might see more than they came to see.
"Okay, oh that hurts."
"Was that another contraction?"
"Yes.
"That's about two minutes apart we're not going to make it to a hospital you're going to have them here I'm sorry ma'am."
"Delta call me Delta I hate ma'am it's so phoney."
"Okay, delta. Now I need to see if you're dilated." He feels me. "Okay you feel fully dilated I can feel a head which is good. So you can push anytime you feel the urge."
"Are you sure I'm having them natural my last two were Caesarians."
"We have an ambulance coming but it might not reach here in time."
"You know just once Norman I'd like to your baby in a normal setting."
"It doesn't look like it's gonna happen babe, do you need to push."
"How's things going delta?"
"Really bad time Sean Patrick, but come here give me you're hand. I gotta push. Oh god."
"Push del."
"Here comes your first the heads out okay here's the hard bit, getting the shoulders out. Big push. 1 2 3 push."
I felt like I was being ripped apart man this is why I never had natural births before and why if I had I would only had one naturally.
"Oh god del, you're hurting me."
"Sorry, Sean."
"There you go delta there's your first little girl. Dad you wanna cut the cord?"
"Stop taking photos oh my ho ha, seriously."
"No I'm fine I might do it for the next one."
"Ok delta you're almost over I can see the head this one should be easier. Big push."
"Woo ah easy little girl you're in a rush, that was a big push, you did great ma'am. So do you have names picked out?"
"Nora and Tate."
"Well happy birthday Nora and Tate you definitely go in the more remember able things I've done."
"Congrats guys I'm very honoured to be here to experience this with you. Thank you."
"Thank you it's because of you, this family is complete."
"Oh look at that these two have dark hair."
"Delta, Hey where does that come from?"
"My dad had dark hair maybe it skips a generation. Oh hello Nora oh look at those eyes there your daddy's eyes aren't they?"
Tate was passed to me, they weren't identical I was so happy I would hate not to be able to tell them apart. She had dark hair like Nora but she had a mole like Norman and green eyes so pretty.
The ambulance officers finally arrived and we were taken to the nearest hospital. When we got to the hospital the girls were surprising given the all clear thou they would need to be monitored for the next few days, they were a good size 2.6kgs each.
"Hello mum."
"What's happening delta?"
"Mum I'm in hospital we had the babies."
"Oh are they okay?"
"Yeah they're fine, beautiful mum."
"You're in Cincinnati right? We're coming over right now we'll get the next plane we can."
"Ok we'll see you soon. Love you."
"Love you too."
"Was that your mum del?"
"Yeah she'll be over as soon as she can with Kass and Conner."
"Same here with mum. Man, del I'm glad these are the last ones I don't think I could go through that again babe. Damn woman you are a one of a kind person. Who else has babies at a convention. Definitely a convention to remember."
"I'm sorry I honestly didn't think it was a possibility when I woke up this morning, but hey look at these two they are healthy, beautiful."
"Of course they are beautiful you're their mum. I love you del."
"Love you too. I can't believe their hair, it's so dark. My dad would be so proud of them taking after him. And I can't believe they're not identical, man that's so cool babe you what that means not only did you knock me up once but you knocked me up twice that's cool and they're both girls."
"Yeah I am that good."
"Hey guys, how you doing delta?"
"Hey Sean I'm good little sore but overall better than when I had Caesarians, now they were bad."
"La la la, I'll pretend I didn't hear that. That being said you two do make good looking kids. Hey where does the dark came from? I swear I have done nothing?"
"My dad silly, he had dark hair, it's the only explanation."
"Well they are good looking kids. What are their names?"
"Nora and Tate."
"I get the Nora but Tate?
"She's named after Sharon Tate. I love her. Kassandra middle names Sharon, I always wanted to call her Tate but it suits this one better even with the dark hair. Tate Reedus I like it."
"Yeah it's pretty cool. What do you think dad?"
"I like them but I have no say."
"You do if there's something you like I'd be cool with it babe."
"No I love them and I know how much you wanted Tate as a name and I love that Nora is named after me."
"I gotta go I've got a few things to complete to do with the con, we'll talk soon ok?"
"Bye Sean." Just as he left the other Sean in my life came in with Lauren.
"You know Del, you're really suppose to babies here not in a convention centre and not squeezing my hand to death, man you got a grip on you."
"I'm so sorry about that man, but hey you were there had to something to you."
"Oh they're gorgeous delta, may I?"
"Yeah sure Lauren. Here's Nora, who's a pretty girl, you and your sister are that's who, in fact all our kids are beautiful, but I guess all mum's say that don't they?"
"Yeah they do, but you sure are, but you and your sister both have lovely eyes."
"Tate has eyes just like Conner but these look so much prettier on her."
"Delta that's a horrible thing to say about your son."
"Well green eyes look better on girls but that's just me."
"Anyway where are the other kids, are they on their way here."
"Yeah not sure when they will get here but my mum said she'd get the next flight over."
"Delta I don't know how you could say Tate looks prettier cause these two are just the sweetest babies ever, honey I think I'm getting clucky."
"You are that's awesome Lauren, cause I've been thinking it's time for us to set the date and get married and then have some kids."
"Oh that's so exciting you two. Well I hope you're lucky and our kids can be friends cause that would be awesome. Before you go, Norman come here." I whisper in his ear, he nods and says "ask them"
"We love it if both of you would be the girls godparents I know Sean your Conner's godfather, I can't think of better godparents. Cause you know how I feel Sean because of you I wouldn't have my family, thank you so much man. Come here."
"I hugged him."
"You know you've thanked me enough Del, we're even now."
"I know but I well forever be grateful. I can't help Sean, Lauren I know you know but you have a wonderful man. Thank you Sean for butting in on my life, otherwise I wouldn't have these kids or this man I love. Okay you two I'll see you later okay, and we better get an invite or else you two."
"Of course, you're like on the list already babe after family, in fact you're probably ahead of some. After all I'm either godparent or uncle to your kids so we're family."
"Yeah brother from another mother."
"Yep that's me, we better get going, Lauren wanna leave which one is that, Nora?"
"Yeah you've got Nora."
"No I wanna take her with me."
"Hey no fair you better go and start making your own. We'll see you later."
My phone starts ringing, I answer it "hey mum."
"We weren't able to get on a plane till just now we're about to board, I think we'll miss visiting hours we'll come by tomorrow what hotel you staying at?"
"Radisson wasn't Norman?"
"Yeah, I call see if we can get you are room." He starts calling I can hear yeah great thanks heaps thanks see you later.
"All set Judith."
"It's all good mum just turn up at the radisson and I'll see you all tomorrow. Safe trip mum kiss the kids okay. Bye."
"Yeah I see you later delta."
"We did good didn't we Norman?" Grabbing my iPad and taking some pictures.
"Yeah they are beautiful just like all my kids, delta I know said I'd do it once we're married, but I want to adopt Kass so we are all one big happy family."
"Really you mean it. I'm so happy, Kass will be so happy she already thinks of you as her daddy."
"Yeah who would think it five kids I think we've given brad and Angie a run for their money. But it's enough."
"Yeah but I'm glad these were natural born at least I've done and know what all the fuss is all about."
"It was pretty amazing. I was there when Mingus was born but this was a different experience. And that was a very clinical experience. I love you delta, I don't know if this is the right time but I love you, I can't imagine my life without you, it makes perfect timing I wanted to ask you if you wanted to marry me Delta Macintosh?" He gets on one knee in front of me.
"Oh I have to think about that. Hmmm of course I will, I've been waiting for you to ask me. Of course I want to marry you Norman. I'd be honoured."
"Oh you will. You've made me the happiest man twice in one day today. I have something for you I've been carrying this around for a while." He reaches into he's backpack and pulls out a box. "I saw this in a shop a long time ago. I know you love old things hell you're with me aren't you?"
"Your not old, not to me mister."
"Well anyway I saw this I just knew it was what you would love I hope you do." Then he opened the box it was a beautiful emerald and diamond ring, it looks old like an antique which I love. "I love it Norman it's so beautiful. Get up here you sexy daddy."
We kissed. It was the perfect day.
