By popular demand, and cause I promised, I'm putting up chapter 4!
Said to say, idk when I'll able to update again. I've got Prom this week, and I'm gonna be gone next week end, but I promise to try to update.
Chapter 4: Here and Now
"Iggy, we should start thinking of baby names. I'm due in two weeks." I complained to him as he cooked dinner for everyone.
"I know Nudge, but every time we try to talk this out, you never like the names I come up with." He complained.
"Iggy, I don't think Iggia is a good, or real name!"
"It is to me." He laughed. I rolled my eyes. He thinks he's so funny. Just then, Angel walked into the kitchen.
"I agree Nudge. He's thinks he's so funny, but he's not always funny."
"Watch what you say Angel." Iggy warned her. "I'll make you eat spinach everyday for the next week if you're not careful."
"No!" she shouted.
"No he won't Angel." Max said as she walked in, Fang right behind her. "I won't let him. So Nudge, how does it feel to be almost nine months pregnant?"
I looked at her like 'duh'. "It sucks!" I said, putting my hand on my stomach. I then felt two sudden kicks. "Ow! Hey, I was only kidding. Besides, do you two know how much trouble it is going through pregnancy three times as fast as a normal person?" By now, Mom, Ella, and Gazzy had come in and takin their seats at the table. Everyone started laughing a little at me.
"Nudge, I don't think they can understand you." Gazzy said.
"Actually, they can." Angel said in my defense.
I felt another two kicks. "Ow! Oh you two are in so much trouble when you come out!" I threatened. I felt one more kick. "Hey!"
"They're giggling at you Nudge. They think it's funny." Angel said, giggling a little herself.
"I can tell. So Iggy, can you actually think up a real name? I think we should both get to name one of them."
"Fine. I'll come up with a good name." he said as he, Max, and Ella set the food on the table.
I turned to Angel who looked at Iggy, and then back at me. "Iggy, Ignia isn't a real name either!" I shouted. He started laughing.
Current time: 2:37am….
Have you ever had someone hit you in the stomach really hard? Well, try having two babies kick you while they try to kick each other. It was 2:37 in the morning, and I was really tired. I groaned as I held my stomach. "Damn it! You two better settle down in there!" I whispered, trying not to wake Iggy.
I moved into his room about two weeks ago. Angel didn't like the idea because her room was so far away from the babies. I told her that she would have plenty of time to read their minds when they're here.
"Nudge, you ok?" Iggy asked.
"Yea. I didn't mean to wake you up, it's just the babies are a little restless right now."
Iggy shifted over a little bit, and put his head by my tummy. "Hey, keep it down you two. Mommy's trying to sleep." He chuckled a little.
I rolled my eyes. "Haha. Very funny Iggy." I closed my eyes, and drifted by to sleep. I've been having dreams of what our lives are gonna be like when they get here.
I was having one of my favorite dreams. Iggy and I were sitting by a lake, eating a delicious picnic that Iggy made, while the twins ran round, trying to learn to fly. "Girls, that's enough for now. Come over here, and eat your food." Iggy called to them. They ran over, and both of us picked one of them up. We sat them both between us.
Then, one of them says "Daddy, will you teach us how to take off?"
Iggy chuckles, and stands up. "Ok. Now watch closely." He takes a running start, snaps out his wings, and jumps as high as he can. It's always fun to watch Iggy fly.
"Mommy?" I turned to look at my two daughters. "It's time mommy. It's time to wake up."
My eyes flew open, and I held my stomach as I screamed in pain "AAAAHHHH!!!!" I screamed.
"Nudge, what's the matter!?" Iggy asked, hopping out of the bed.
"I think my water broke! Go get Mom, quick!" I shouted.
Iggy ran out into the hall as fast as he could. Man, you two picked a great time to wanna come out. I thought. Then, Max ran in, and grabbed my left hand. "Nudge! Hold on. Mom's getting her supplies. Fang and Iggy went to get her somethings. Just hold on."
"Max, it hurts!" I said, resisting the urge to scream.
"Nudge, I'm here." Mom said as she came into the room. Iggy and Fang came in soon after. Iggy ran to my other side, and grabbed my hand, while Fang stood by the door. "Do the breathing exercises we practiced." She instructed
"Nudge, I'm here." Iggy said.
"When this is all over with, I swear to god Iggy, I'm gonna kill you! This is your fault! You did this to me!"
"I know sweetie. I know." He said patting my hand.
"Ok. She's ready to push" Mom said. "Ok Nudge, in the count of three. 1, 2, 3!"
I closed my eyes, and pushed as hard as I could. I thought the contractions were bad, but the pushing was way worse!
I then heard the sudden crying of a baby. I opened my eyes, and saw as Iggy cut the umbilical cord, and held the first baby. "Nudge, she's here. Our daughter is here."
He handed her to me, and I cradled her in my arms. She was beautiful. She had caramel colored skin, green eyes, jet black hair, and dark brown wings. She was absolutely perfect. "Iggy, she's beautiful."
"I know. What should we name her?"
I stared at her for a moment. She needed a name that matched her beauty, and was unique. "I want to name her….Tiara." I said looking up at Iggy.
"That sounds perfect Nudge." I smiled, and handed her to her father. I got ready to push again.
"Ok Nudge. On the count of three again. 1,2,3!" I pushed with all the strength I had left. I pushed until I couldn't push anymore. I was happy that it was over. I heard the cry of my other daughter. Mom handed her to me, and I basked in her beauty as well. She was just like her sister, but her wings were w light brown instead of a dark brown.
"Ok Iggy. Your turn. Name her. And it has to be a real name." I scolded him.
He chuckled a little bit. "I picked a name a while ago. I just wanted you to think I was playing around. Luckily, Angel kept quiet."
I was in shock. "You mean you tricked me?"
"Yep." He smiled.
"I'll deal with you later. Right now, your daughter needs a name."
"I want to name her Crystal. A beautiful girl deserves a beautiful name."
"That's perfect. Tiara and Crystal. Our daughters." I said, before yawning a big yawn.
Iggy smiled, and took Crystal from me. "You need some sleep. I'll take care of them. You get some rest." I didn't even have the strength to argue. In seconds, I was sleeping.
I wake a couple hours later to the squealing of Angel as she watched Iggy rock the babies back and forth to sleep.
"Angel, keep it down, or you'll wake Nudge." Iggy said to her.
"Too late." I said as I stretched and stood up. I walked over to Iggy and picked up Tiara. "Hey sweetie. How are you?" I cooed to her.
She giggled a cute little giggle. Was so happy. I was holding my daughter. She stopped giggling, and started crying. "What's wrong? Are you hungry?"I said as I took her downstairs with me. Iggy and Angel followed close behind me. I walked into the kitchen to see Max and Fang were making out, and didn't see us there.
"Hello? There are children present." Angel said, interrupting them. They pulled away, and blushed from embarrassment.
"Morning guys." Max said as she tried to act normal. "Angel, did you wash up?"
"Well….." she said, trying to avoid the obvious answer.
"Like I thought. Upstairs, bathroom, now." Max commanded. I pulled out two bottles of milk, and put them in the microwave.
"I'd better get breakfast started." Iggy said. "Max, can you help Nudge feed the babies?"
"Sure." I handed her a warm bottle, as Iggy stood up, and handed Crystal to her.
"You know, I would if they have any powers." Fang said out of nowhere. That was a good point that Iggy and I didn't even think of.
"I never thought about that." I said as I looked into Tiara's eyes. "I wonder what they'll have." Just then, it started to get really cold in the room. "Fang, can you check the thermostat?"
"Sure." He turned toward it, and his face changed expressions. Well not really his face, but his eyes. "The temp is the same as always, 72 degrees."
"There's no way. It feels like its 50 degrees in here." I said. Then, it hit me. I turned to look at Tiara. "Angel!" I shouted.
She came running down the stairs, and into the kitchen. "Whoa! Did you guys turn the temperature down or something?"
"No. I want you to read the twins minds. I want you to see if they have any powers." I instructed. She nodded her head, and closed her eyes. "Anything?"
"Yea. Tiara can make things colder just by thinking about it. She can make it snow too!" and with that, it started snowing in the kitchen.
"Whoa. Tiara, can you make the snow go away?" I asked her.
"No. She can't. She can only make it cold. I think once she gains more control, she should be able to."
"Well we'd better do something before wakes up and sees the snow!" and Just like that, it started to melt and evaporate. "I thought you said she couldn't do that?" I asked Angel.
"She can't, but Crystal can. Crystal can make things heat up, even catch on fire." She said, her eyes growing wide.
"So their powers are opposites of each other?" Max asked, looking at Crystal.
"Yep. I can't believe it! they have such cool powers!" Angel said as she went to sit in her usual seat.
"Great. So now we have to worry about one of them freezing everything, and the other torching everything. Mom is gonna freak." I said, feeding Tiara. This is gonna be even harder than I thought.
And that's chapter 4 everyone! Hope you like it. I need reviews to keep going. They give me the energy and drive to continue. And this is not the end of the story people! Not even close!
I will try to update again soon!
Remember: Keep reading, writing, and reviewing!
