Since people were asking me to continue this story. I decided to. Here it is.
Stef's POV
I haven't stopped smiling since she told me. I'm so excited to be a mom again. I know most parents don't look forward to the late nights and the no sleep but I don't care. I'm too excited. Now I get to do it with the love of my life and two babies. We're on our way to our first official doctor appointment. "I can't believe we're having twins." I look at her for a quick second. I reach for her hand and kiss her knuckles and rest our hands on the center console of the car. I have probably said this about a hundred times since she told me. She looks at me with the same smile on her face. It's infectious. I'm taken back to the day we told our parents. And it makes me kind of sad.
3 days earlier
Lena's POV
I couldn't wait for our parents to get here. I've been dying to tell them. But Stef and I decided to wait and tell them together. We had already told our other kids and they were ecstatic. They couldn't wait to have 2 new babies in the house. Stef was worried sick that her dad wouldn't accept these babies because I was carrying them. "Don't worry, honey. Everything will be fine." Secretly I was also worried about the same thing. But I decided to only be happy. I was finally pregnant after so many failed attempts and sorrowful weeks.
Our parents arrive just as Stef is pulling dinner out of the oven. She smiles at me as I come down the stairs into the kitchen. She walks up to me and pulls me into her arms. We see a flash and turn to see everyone smiling at us. Everyone except Stef's dad. But we say anything we were too happy. "Welcome everyone, have a seat at the table and we can eat." Stef put everything on the table and dinner started.
Stef's POV
Dinner conversation flowed easily. My dad stayed extremely quiet. He looked very uncomfortable. No one payed him much attention. Lena and I made special cupcakes to give to our parents. Lena brought out the cupcakes and set one in front of each grandparent. They all looked up at us after seeing what was written on the cupcakes. Each cupcake either had Grandma or Grandpa written on it. Both grandmas looked at us with huge smiles on their faces. "How, When" They both stumbled. "Lena is about 9 weeks pregnant. But there's something else." I couldn't help but mess with them. "What is it? We need to know." Lena laughed because she knew what I was up to. "I'm having twins!" Lena laughed as she said this. She was so excited. Both grandma's came around the table and hugged us both tightly. They were almost squealing, they were so excited. We told them she was due in the middle of summer. All of a sudden, we heard our front door slam shut. My dad had stormed out without saying a word. "Forget him, he should be happy for us not running out."
Present
Lena's POV
"Stop worrying about your dad." I knew she was pulled into the past when she got a distant look on her face. She looked at me and gave me a sad smile. I returned the smile and said the only thing I could think of to make her smile and be happy. "We're going to see our twins today." I said this with the biggest smile, one that she, thankfully, returned.
We walked into the doctors office with our hands linked tightly together. Stef had to fill out all of the paperwork because I was to fidgety to hold the pen. I felt her put her hand down on my shaking leg. "Love, relax, everything's going to be fine."
The doctor came out and called us back. I changed into the gown, but not before Stef came over and kissed my still flat stomach. She loved doing that everyday. She always kissed my belly and talked to the babies. When the doctor came in with the machine, I got really excited. I laid back and lifted the gown to reveal my stomach. "This will be a little cold." The doctor said. I reached for Stef's hand when the gel touched my belly. "Yeah, you're right, it is cold." I said with a gasp. Stef laughed next to me and kissed my forehead. The doctor moved the wand around searching for the twins. She flipped a switch and a sound so great filled the room. The beating of our babies' hearts. They were so fast. "They look perfectly healthy." I turned to Stef and saw tears in her eyes. I wiped them away with my thumb. She hasn't taken her eyes off of the screen the whole time. She has a smile that's no match for the sun. When we leave the office, she pulls me too her and just holds me close with our heads resting against each other. "I love you more than anything in the whole world." I looked into her eyes and I could see nothing but raw emotion. I smiled at her and gave her a kiss that left no room for her to doubt my love for her.
