Chapter fifty-two
Brandon's POV
"Abby" I kiss her bare shoulder lightly as I listen to the running about in the room next to ours.
"Hmm" she murmurs as she turns into my embrace, her head burying in my chest. I press a light kiss to her lips before pulling away from her gently, making sure not to wake her up. She was up with the children all night last night, just because they demanded that mommy take care of them. Well, Kimberly did; Sam wanted me, but I unfortunately had to go out last night so she was on her own with the children. I soon made up for that when I got home, and she enjoyed the repayment.
"Daddy's here now, you need to keep quiet otherwise you'll wake mommy up" I tut at them as I walk into their room.
Kimberly is dressed in her pink pyjamas as she sits on the floor playing with her teddy bear; she named the stuffed toy Philip. Very original. Sam is sat on his bed looking at a picture book where he is grinning at one of the pictures; I will assume it's his dinosaur book. He loves dinosaurs; his pyjamas are blue with green dinosaurs on them. He has an obsession with them, but I will admit that I enjoy teaching him about them.
"Daddy, you play dolls with me?" Kimberly, my 3 year old daughter, asks as she holds up Jasper, her toy rabbit.
"Of course, Sweetie" I smile at her as I sit on the floor next to her, Jasper in hand as she starts telling me what the little story plot she wishes to act out with the toys is.
"Daddy, what this word say?" Sam probes as he passes me his picture book, each of the dinosaurs have their name written underneath it.
"It says tyrannosaurus-rex. Do you think you can say that, Sam?"
"Tyrannasarus-wex. And I prefer Sammy, Daddy. You know that" he shakes his head at me as he retakes his book. I chuckle at him just as the door opens; I turn my head to the side to see Abby stood there, dressed in a pair of jeans and one of my shirts, smiling at me. She agreed to let me turn her vampire, with Amelie's permission and of course she would have to show me how, but she refuses for me to turn her until the children are 4 years old. So only another month and she will forever be by my side. I will admit that she has grown into quite the beautiful woman.
She will forever be preserved at that age once the children are 4, she will forever look 20. I was turned when I was 21, so we will look like a normal couple; we will probably look more natural than we did when she was 15, the first time I met her.
"Mommy!" the twins shout out in unison as they run over to her, Abby bending down where she sweeps them into her arms. Placing a light kiss on each of their foreheads.
"Hey, guys. How are you two loud monsters today?" she probes as she starts tickling them, both of them laughing as they run away from her and over to me. I take a good look at my children and smile.
Kimberly has beautiful light brown locks like her mother, as well as blue eyes like Abby. Samuel looks similar to Kimberly with the facial features and the eye colour, but he has a darker shade of brown hair. I am also pleased to say that their true father has been sentenced to life in prison, he knows nothing of the twins and I pray to God he never will. Who knows what he would do if he found out; he could try kidnapping them, he could try for custody or he could try to hurt them. I will not allow for that to happen. This is my family and I will protect them for as long as I live in this world.
"Sammy, can you do me a really big favour?" Abby inquires as she motions for the twins to go over to her.
"Yeah, mommy?" he queries as he smiles at her, Kimberly looking confused.
"Can you go brush your teeth, and take Kimberly with you? Make sure she cleans them properly as well" she smiles at him, Sam nodding before taking Kimberly's hand and leading her out the room. Sam feels as though he is the responsible twin because he was born ten minutes before Kimberly. He takes the role of big brother very seriously; I can still remember the birth of them as clear as day.
Being stat in this meeting is very boring; there isn't even a topic behind it. It's just Amelie and Oliver nattering away at each other, the rest of the participants are just sat around not getting a word in edge ways. To think that I could be sat at home with my 8 and half month pregnant girlfriend right now, rather than being sat in this meeting room listening to a pointless argument. Just as I am about to interject with their shouting, my phone rings in my pocket. I quickly whip it out and answer it, not even bothering to ask permission. This could be an important call.
"Brandon, I need you at home" Abby sounds somewhat…strained. I wonder what's wrong.
"Abby, I am in a meeting and cannot leave until it's finished" I remind her, Oliver and Amelie shooting me glares. They want me to hang up.
"I'm in labour, Brandon. I need you right now" she hisses into the phone, my mind made up as I jump up out of my seat and put my phone away, after telling her I would be there soon.
"I'm sure you heard the conversation, I need to go" I point out to Amelie before making my departure where I rush home. Thank God it's late at night; I hope Abby has called her mid-wife. When I get home I go straight into the living room where Abby is sat on the floor puffing and panting.
I go to her side instantly where I hold her hand in mine, the mid-wife getting her to breathe deeply before demanding that Abby push. An hour later we are holding our beautiful children, Abby holding Kimberly and me, Sam. She's crying soft tears of happiness as we cuddle our children. Our children; now what a strange concept that is.
That day will always remain in my memory; that was the day my children were born. It was the day I became a father and Abby a mother.
"Brandon, are you okay? You blanked out" Abby giggles as she sits on the floor in front of me, her arms wrapping around my neck. I wrap mine around her waist where I pull her close to me, my lips gently brushing hers.
"Just thinking about that day we became parents" I admit honestly before kissing her again, and that's when Sam and Kimberly come back in and jump on us. I laugh at their antics before hugging them both. My family.
