Chapter 19: Picnic
Maria´s POV:
I sat down on the chair beside Gio who was holding Christopher. Christopher and Adrianna had been born a month ago 3 weeks early and I was so scared but the midwife convinced me that it was normal. Christopher was born first, weighing 6 lbs and was 20 inches. Not long later, Adrianna was born weighing 5 ½ lbs and was 19 inches. They were born very healthy and were able to come with me and Dougie home just 2 days old. This first month had been very hard for Dougie and I with all the crying (when one twin woke at night and started screaming the other twin would wake up and start screaming too). The twins only slept 3-4 hours at a time the first two weeks or so but they were starting to sleep more, not longer than 5-6 hours, though.
I looked down at Dougie and the almost two year old Isabella who sat on the floor holding Adrianna. I smiled as Isabella starting caressing Adrianna´s head whilst smiling really big. It looked so adorable as I sat there watching them. I looked at her as Gio called me back to reality and asked me to take Christopher again as she needed to use the bathroom. She handed him over and I looked down at my son. I started caressing his head, there almost wasn´t any hair but the little amount of hair that there was, was the same dark brown hair colour that Noah had, had. The eyes were Dougie´s too. In fact Christopher looked a lot like Noah, apart from the nose and ears and mouth. Christopher had gotten my ears and my nose and my mouth while Noah had gotten Dougie´s. Adrianna had gotten my eyes but mostly looked like her father apart from that.
I hadn´t heard that Dougie was calling my name before he stood right in front of me and waved a hand in front of my face. "Hello?" he asked and smiled his brilliant smile at me. "What?" I asked confused. "Adrianna´s hungry," he said and kissed my cheek. I smiled back and handed Christopher over to him so that I could feed my daughter. She looked very peaceful as she lied there feeding and I couldn´t help but feel proud. My two little miracles was the result of the love that Dougie and I shared.
Dougie was back just two minutes later holding Christopher and told me that he was hungry too. I giggled at that.
That night as Gio and Tom had left and we finally had gotten Christopher and Adrianna to sleep, we were lying in bed just enjoying the silence. I was lying with my head on his chest and listened to his heart that was drumming beneath my ear. Dougie was running his fingers through my hair. He looked thoughtful. "Will you go out with me?" he asked and looked down at me. I was confused. "What do you mean?" I asked and sat up slightly so that I could see his face. "I mean on a date," he told me and smiled a sweet smile at me. "Erm…Sure, but what about the twins?" How would I be able to say no to him? But things just wasn´t like they used to be. We hadn´t been out at all since we found out that I was pregnant with twins. I really didn´t have the energy at all and the belly - that grew almost twice as fast as normal - kept coming in the way. "Can´t we ask Gio and Tom babysit?" he asked and begged me. I really couldn´t find any more excuses to say no to him so I gave in.
Dougie had been keeping a secret from me, I could tell. It was probably something with the date that he was preparing. I was standing in the bedroom and looked into my closet. There was nothing pretty in here at all. Of course there was the clothes that I´d worn pre-pregnancy but there was no way I could get into that anymore. I sighed and just grabbed a set of casual clothes that still was a bit pretty. As soon as I´d changed into the clothes I heard the three knocks on the door that signaled that Dougie would be here. He´d been gone all day and had taken Adrianna and Christopher to Danny´s place – Tom and Gio hadn´t been able to babysit, so Danny or Harry had been our last options. Harry had a date and somehow I wasn´t much for letting Danny taking care of my 1 months old babies alone. Dougie had convinced me that he would do fine before he took the twins away.
I walked down the stairs and opened the door to see Dougie standing there in his shorts and blue t-shirt that barely covered the tattoo on his right arm. He smiled at me adorably and I smiled back at him. He held out his hand and as I grabbed it, he led me to the car. Before I got in, he put a blindfold over my eyes and helped me get in. We drove for about a quarter of time before he stopped the car and a few seconds later he opened my door. I grabbed his hand tightly as he helped me out of the car again. We walked for a while and then suddenly he stopped. He unfolded the blindfold over me eyes and I saw the blanket and the wine and the delicious food. I was amazed and really didn´t know what to say. I felt Dougie´s eyes at me and saw the hopefulness in his eyes. "Do you like it?" he asked after a while. "Yes! I love it," I told him and kissed him on the lips. He kissed me back and when he pulled away, he took my hand and we sat down at the blanket where he grabbed the bottle of wine and filled the glasses. We sat there talking and just enjoyed it only being the two of us again for just a short amount of time. After we had eaten, we were lying down on the blanket and I had my head on his chest. We were lying there in a long time and just enjoyed the silence.
Then suddenly Dougie sat up pushing me away from him. I was confused and then he pointed at the bushes just a few yards away from us. I looked closer and then just before I could see what it was there were flashlights blinding me totally. From behind the bushes, a man with a camera crawled out and took pictures of us. Dougie stood up and held his hand out for me to take it. I grabbed it and he started running. We both started laughing as we ran hand in hand through the almost empty botanical garden. The few people that was in the garden, was looking at us, probably thinking we were weird. We reached the car and got in quickly. As we both had stopped laughing, we looked at each other and smiled. He leaned closer to me and kissed me on the lips.
The End
