Steve was waiting for Catherine to be moved into the bedroom. While waiting, he took the opportunity to look at his babies. Steve was thoughtful. How much time he lost, because of his insecurity. He could have married Catherine so long ago. He could have had his kids earlier. He now felt a huge responsibility, with Catherine, with the children and with himself. He did not know what the future held. There was the transplant, there was the radiation ... He wanted to see his children grow up ... He did not want to leave Catherine alone ...

Commander!

Steve, was taken from his thoughts, by the nurse.

Yes? Steve asked.

Your wife is already in room 502.

And the babies, too, are going to the bedroom?

Yes, after the mother gets up and takes a shower.

OK thank you. Steve went to Catherine's room.

Hey, Cath!

Hey, Daddy Steve.

How are you feeling?

I am fine. Still in pain, but I'm fine.

I was looking at the kids.

How are they? When will they come here?

They are well. They will come when you rest for a while and then take a shower.

And what are they like? I could not see them well. I just know they're beautiful.

John and Michelle, I think they look like me. Emily definitely looks like you.

Catherine smiled. I want to hold them in my arms soon.

Me too. Steve said kissing Catherine's head.

You look worried, "Catherine said.

Is nothing. I'm just tired. And sore. I did not know you were that strong. Steve said smiling.

Sorry, Steve. But it was a lot of pain.

I know, my love. I'm going to have breakfast, okay? I also need to call Danny to tell him that I'm not going to work today or in the next few days. Can you be alone for a while? I'll be back.

Yeah, that's okay.

Steve had breakfast in the canteen and called Danny.

Hey, Steve.

Hey, Danny. The team is now under your command. My babies were born today.

What? Good news, Steve. But would not it be next week?

But they were in a hurry, Danny.

Congratulations, Steve! How's Catherine?

She's fine, the kids too. Thank you friend. Tell the rest of the team.

Certainly.

Steve went back to Catherine's room. She was sleeping. He sat down beside her, watching her. She looked prettier than ever. That girl he met in the Navy was now, the mother of his children. The woman in his life, now more than ever. Some time later, Catherine woke up, took a shower, and waited for the babies to be brought. The nurses came with the babies and put the cribs next to Catherine's bed.

Oh My God! My loves ... Look Steve! She looks like me, but her eyes are just like yours. You're Beautiful! Catherine said, taking Michelle in her lap. Catherine kissed Michelle's forehead and handed it to Steve.

Steve held his daughter. He was very happy. She really looks like you.

And you, my little one? You look a lot like Mom. You're Beautiful! Catherine said, taking Emily on her lap and kissing her. Steve put Michelle in the crib and got Emily.

She really is beautiful, Cath.

And you, my beautiful boy, Who kicked Mother's tummy so much. You are the faithful copy of your father. Catherine said kissing John.

Steve put Emily in the crib and picked up John.

Hey buddy. Steve said smiling broadly. Steve heard a noise. Cath, I think John did something.

So take it! Said Catherine passing a diaper to Steve.

But Cath, I don't know ...

So, you're learning now, sailor. You can start...
