All I Have

Chapter 29

'Who knows what true happiness is, not the conventional word.. but the naked terror. To the lonely themselves, that wears a mask, the most miserable outcast hugs some memory.. or some illusion.'"

Weeks Later

Haley locked her gaze on Chris. A wide smile going across his face as he felt multiple kicks.

At 20 weeks along. The babies were the size of three mangos. Chris and I signed up for infant CPR were narrowing down our baby name list and we told our friends the news of the pregnancy. There were mixed joyful, happy, and excited reactions.

I wanted to keep Chris's diagnosis a secret. Unable to handle everyone in our life knowing. But Chris was insistant. So he told them. I was by his side the entire time.

We were met with more love, understanding, and support then i could handle. The dinner we had put together soon came to an end. Leaving Chris and I alone. Which was exactly how i wanted it.

We made love three times that night. Selfishly i was desperate to hold on that much tighter to the happiness and joy we felt.

Eventually we were completly spent unable to speak or move.

At some point. Chris and I locked eyes.

I smiled up at him. Focusing solely on him as he spoke.

"You are the miracle. I will never be worthy of. Before you i didn't think about the future. Couldn't bother to focus on the present. The past dragged me back every chance it got."

"I will love you. From the first day we met to my last." Chris said.

Haley leaned over kissing him hard. "You are the love of my life." She said. Tears falling from her eyes.

Many Weeks Later

At 40 weeks pregnant. My water broke. Early in the morning.

Pain overcame my entire body. As Chris and i made our way out of our room then our home. He helped me into the car. Driving as fast as he could.

Making it out of the car. And into the hospital was a blur.

The labor pains. Sweating and swearing through hours of labor almost breaking his hand with how hard i was squeezing it.

After i was sure i couldn't possibly take it anymore. The final push brought forth. Me hearing you say how much you loved me. How proud and in awe you were of me.

As i laid back down on the hospital bed. And loud cries filled the air. Three strong healthy babies. Were brought into the world. Two boys and a girl.
