A week Later.
"How is Day doing?" Patrica asked as she had brought some food over for her son and daughter in law.
"She's exhausted. We went to her doctor the other day and she was already 2 cm dilated and 50 perfect effaced." Roman said. "Dr. Becker said it could be any day now."
DayAnna had been feeling contractions off and on over the last week but they weren't consistent she had been in contact with her doctor and had even had an in office visit. It was just a matter of time before the twins would be arriving.
"It sounds like it. Is she resting now?" Patrica asked.
"Yes I told her to take a nap she's so uncomfortable." Roman said helping his mom put the food away.
"Being 37 weeks pregnant with twins I bet she is. That is why I brought you over some meals for the freezer and some groceries. That why you don't have to worry about that. Is everything all set to go?" She asked.
"Yes I put in both car seats. We packed the hospital bags we are good to go. But Mom you really didn't have to go through all this trouble." Roman said slowly sitting on the stool feeling tired himself.
"Yes I did. I am gonna be a Grandma again it's the least I can do. I know these last several months haven't been easy on either of you but right now I want you to focus on your health and your wife and babies."
"That's all I can think about right now Mom. Is my boys I can't wait to meet them and hold them." He said as his mother looked at him.
"Roman how have you been feeling?" Patrica asked getting him some juice.
"I'm fine Mom. Right now my priority is Day and the boys. They need me right now." Roman said thanking her for the juice and taking a sip.
"Roman Joseph I am your Mom don't lie to me." She said sternly.
"Mom I am just tired. It's been a busy week with appointments and I've just been trying to make sure everything is set for the boys. Not to mention making Day rest she's been going non stop." He told her.
"I know honey. But how did your appointment go this week? I know you had two of them. Did Day go to both?" Patricia asked.
"She went to one of them but the other was first thing in the morning and she had a restless night so I let her sleep in."
"How did that go?"
"It went fine." He stated sipping his drink.
"Is that all I get?" She asked.
"Mom everything is fine. For now all that matters is Day and our boys. I need to focus on them right now." He said.
"Alright I wont pry." She said hugging her son.
Patrica then made them some dinner before leaving for the evening. Reminding Roman as she left to call her with he needed anything. He then took a small plate of food up to DayAnna as she was laying in bed half a sleep rubbing her belly.
"Day?" Roman asked softly.
"Hmmm yeah?" She answered softly.
"Baby girl you alright?" He asked putting the food down and sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Yes." She breathed out softy.
"Contractions?" He asked rubbing her back.
"Yes. I've tried to time them but they are like every 15 minutes or so." She said.
"Think you can sit up to eat something?" Roman asked.
She nodded as he helped her sit up a little as he handed her the plate.
"Your mom was here wasn't she?" She smiled looking at the delicious food.
"How do you know that? Maybe I made Cheese Ravioli." He said with a smirk.
"Sure wait did you?" DayAnna asked with a smile.
"Oh Hell No. It was totally my mom. She brought a few things over and made dinner." He smiled getting comfy on the bed.
"I thought so." She giggled feeding him a bite. "How are you feeling today? You look a little pale."
"I am fine baby girl. Just got a few things done around the house. How are you feeling?" He asked moving a piece of hair out of her face.
"Honestly I don't want to complain but I have to pee every two minutes. I waddle when I walk. I am feeling pretty miserable." She said.
"Day listen you are very pregnant with twins. You aren't complaining. But I have to say that waddle is sexy." He smiled kissing her.
"You are just saying that but thank you for lying to me." She smiled kissing him back patting his face.
"I wasn't lying." He smiled. "You are beautiful and soon very soon we are gonna meet our boys." He said rubbing her belly.
That evening DayAnna managed to get out of bed and she helped clean up the kitchen. They even cuddled on the couch and watched a movie together. Roman timing her contractions that were still irregular.
At around 2 am DayAnna woke up with a sharp pain in her lower back. She winced in pain as she breathed through it. She slowly stood up and waddled her way to the bathroom. She wasn't in there long when she felt a small gush of water between her legs as it started to trickle down a bit.
"Roman!" DayAnna called as she reached for a towel. She waited a few moments and didn't hear him get out of bed. She waddled back towards the bed and sat down slowly touching his shoulder softly. "Roman! Rome babe wake up."
"Baby? What's wrong?" He asked slowly opening his eyes still tired.
"My water broke."
That statement was all Roman needed to hear before he was out of bed and getting dressed. DayAnna changed into something else as well while Roman called the hospital to let them know they were on their way. He grabbed the bags and helped DayAnna to the car.
"Are you ready for this?" She asked rubbing her belly. "We're gonna meet our boys."
"More than ready." Roman said taking her hand and kissing it.
The next several hours were a whirl wind for DayAnna and Roman. As soon as they got to the hospital she was admitted and taken to a room to be put on monitors. When they checked her progress she was at 5 cm. Roman had called both sets of parents to let them know the news. DayAnna's contractions started to get more frequent and more painful. Roman never left her side as he held her hand. He felt helpless because she was in pain and there was nothing he could seem to do for his wife. After a few hours in labor her Doctor recommended getting an epidural to relieve some of the pain since this was a twin birth. After talking with Roman she choose to do that.
She was resting in the bed eating Ice chips as Roman was holding her hand.
"Thank you for being so amazing." She said kissing him softly.
"You are amazing." Roman said.
"I don't feel very amazing." She said eating some ice.
"Well you are." He stated as he sat down on the stool.
"Roman have you eaten yet?" DayAnna asked at it was already late morning.
"Baby you can't eat so I am fine." He said.
"No you need to eat and take your meds." She said.
"Day…" Roman started to say before she interrupted him.
"I am in labor with our twin boys are you really going to argue with me?" She asked giving him that stern DayAnna look.
"Of course not baby girl." He said putting his hands up in defeat. "I just don't want to leave you."
"Roman I understand but I am not gonna have these babies any time soon so please go take your meds and get something to eat." She said.
Roman didn't want to leave her but new she wouldn't let up about it and wanted her as relaxed as much as possible so he kissed her again before heading down to the food area to grab something to eat. While Roman was gone the Doctor came in to check on her and the position of the babies.
"I see your husband finally went to get something to eat." Dr. Becker said.
"Yes I made him. He needed to take his pills and I can tell he's getting tired." She said biting her lip.
"DayAnna listen the most important thing he is that he is here with you right now. He is going to be here to witness these boys being born. That is what we hoped for. He also does need to rest and try and save his energy as well." Dr. Becker said.
"I made him sleep last night once I got the epidural it was easier for him to relax I think." DayAnna said.
"Well you are doing great and it shouldn't be long now. So I am gonna call the OR and get things set up there. DayAnna you are doing great and you are almost there." Dr. Becker said before leaving the room.
"I saw Dr. Becker in the hall she said they are gonna be taking us to the OR soon. Baby Girl we are gonna meet our boys." Roman said leaning down to kiss her.
"Yes. Soon our little boys will be here." She said rubbing her belly. "Roman look before they get here there is something I want to say to you. I love you so much and I am so damn proud to be your wife. These last few months haven't been the easiest for us but together I know we can get through anything. These boys are our fresh start they are our reason to fight. I love you Roman."
"DayAnna I love you too. I am so damn proud of you. You are the strongest woman I know. You are giving me one of the greatest gifts in life. I am about to be a father a role that I take seriously." He said kissing her softly.
With in the next hour or so Roman had changed into scrubs DayAnna was prepped and in the OR. She had began pushing. Roman held on to DayAnna's hand and watched her strength and will power as she brought their first baby boy into the world. As soon as they heard his cries DayAnna looked down at their son and then at Roman.
"He's here." She said in tears looking up at Roman.
"He is here baby girl." Roman said kissing her forehead and looking at his son. "Hi Matthew I'm your Daddy." Roman said in tears.
DayAnna didn't get much time to rest before the nurse took baby A to the warming bed and she started pushing again. 5 minutes later they welcomed another baby boy into the world.
"You did it Day! Our boys are here." Roman said kissing her as he was in tears.
"I love you Roman." She said so thankful that Roman was still here to witness the birth of their sons. As Roman went over to the warming beds and was looking at their sons. DayAnna took a minute to pray to God. "Lord thank you for our two health little boys. Thank you for having Roman be here with me. I just ask that you continue to heal him because I need him now more than ever." She said to herself as she was over whelmed with joy and emotions.
The Next Morning.
"I still can't believe they are ours." Roman said as he was holding Matthew in his arms.
"I can't either. Can you believe they are gonna let us take these perfect little boys home?" DayAnna smiled holding the other baby in her arms. "They are perfect."
"So perfect." Roman smiled. "HI Matthew you are so strong already aren't you my boy." Roman said to him.
"Is it bad that I don't want visitors today or like ever? I want to be selfish and not share you or our boys with anyone." DayAnna said looking down at the perfect little boy in her arms.
"No because I don't either." He smiled. "I say we just take them home and never leave the house the four of us is all we need." He smiled.
"I agree." DayAnna smiled as he heart was so full watching Roman with their sons.
Matthew Leati Anoai was 6 pounds 4 oz and Bentley Joseph Anoai was 5 pounds 3 oz. They were both healthy happy baby boys.
As Roman stared at his wife and sons he knew that no matter what his current diagnoses was he was going to fight it. He didn't want to miss a moment of his sons growing up. Seeing their faces and holding them in his arms made it even more real that he was now a father.
"Guess what DayAnna?" Roman said looking into her eyes.
"What?" She smiled looking back at him.
"I can't wait for this next chapter in our lives." He smiled. "Do you know why?"
"Why?" She smiled.
"Because I love you and our sons with every inch of my being. You three are my life and my whole world."
"We love you too Roman and you are our whole world." She said touching his face and kissing his lips softly.
