Chapter 6
Lena's POV
I couldn't help but laugh at my wife. She was being more hysterical than I thought. No one would guess that she's the one who has given birth before. She was calmer when we got in the car. Thank goodness! I actually wanted to make it to the hospital to see my babies. Babies! I couldn't believe we are having two babies. "This is real, right?" I couldn't help but ask. "Yes love this is real." Now she's laughing. I took her hand and she started driving to the hospital. I looked behind us and saw Brandon driving our other car. I was glad he decided to bring all the kids to the hospital.
Stef's POV
I felt Lena's hand squeeze mine, tightly! I thought my hand was being broken. "OH MY GOD" Lena almost yelled in my ear. I looked over at her with a pained look on my face. When I saw the same expression on her face, I knew what was going on. Her contractions were starting. We arrived at the hospital just as the contraction was ending. "Love, you have to let go of my hand if you want to go in. Or we can stay here and you can have the babies in the car." I really don't know when to keep my mouth closed. The death glare was not the first I was going to get today. I ran out of the car into the hospital. I yelled for some help as soon as the doors were open. Three nurses ran out of the hospital with a wheelchair for Lena. Another contraction hit her as soon as she was in her room. I grabbed her hand so she could squeeze it. "Squeeze as hard as you need to Love. I know it hurts." She had a look that made me want to cry. I wanted so bad to take the pain away from her. I would trade places with her if I could. "Love, I'm so sorry you are in so much pain. Are you sure you don't want the epidural?"
"No! I want to do this naturally." Personally, I think that is a crazy idea. I only made it through half of the birth with Brandon before I was begging for the drugs. I can't imagine how it is with twins. "Okay. The doctor said he will be in any minute to check on you." The doctor knocked on the door about 5 minutes later to check on Lena. "Okay Mrs. Foster, I need to check your progress." The doctor did what he needed to do and left the room. I didn't like that one bit. I don't like seeing anyone between my wife's legs. "Already 5 centimeters. That's great. You're already half way there." I tried to sound encouraging but I was a wreck on the inside. Two more kids is a lot to handle. But one look at my wife and I knew we could do it.
2 Hours Later
Lena's POV
"Okay Lena time to push." The doctor was talking but I could barely hear him. The pain was so great. It was the worst feeling I have ever had. I just want these babies out of me. "You keep pushing. You fucking did this to me." That was the best comeback I could come up with at the moment." And in a roundabout way, she did. "Okay Lena you need to start pushing. Baby number 1 is ready to meet you." Thank goodness, this is almost over. I felt a giant relief and heard the most beautiful sound I have ever heard. "And it's a girl!" I had tears clouding my vision. I was so happy. She was the most beautiful baby I had ever seen. "Sofia Grace" I whispered. She was whisked away so quickly. I looked at Stef and she was smiling and crying at the same time. She leaned down and kissed me on the head. "I love you so much Lena." I felt another pain radiate through me. "Okay, baby number 2 is ready to come into the world." The pushing was a little easier this time. I only had to push for about 5 minutes before the baby came screaming into the world. "It's a girl" I started crying all over again. She was also so beautiful. "Samantha Marie" My girls were adorable and I was so happy they were finally here. "Stef, they're so beautiful. Just look at them."
"I know Love, I'm so proud of you. Thank you" A nurse brought both babies over and handed me Sam and handed Sofia to Stef. "I can't believe they are here. They are so amazing." Stef was crying as she said this. I was crying too. This was the most wonderful experience of my life. But I am so tired. When I yawned Stef noticed. "Lena, go to sleep. We'll be here when you wake up." Stef took Sam and sat down in the chair next to the bed. I fell asleep looking at three of the most important people in my life.
Stef's POV
I can't believe that I have to more daughters. They are so beautiful. Light brown skin and dark hair. They are just a shade lighter than Lena. And they couldn't have been any cuter. "You guys have the best family in the world. You have three older brothers, Brandon, Jesus, and Jude. And you have two older sisters, Callie and Mariana. They can't wait to meet you guys. And your mama. She's the best. She loves you guys so much. You are so lucky. I love you guys with my whole heart. I'll do anything to make you girls happy and safe." I kissed both of my daughters on the head before I looked over at my wife. She was awake and smiling at me. "You are the best mom in the whole world." I blushed at her compliment. I stood up and handed Sofia over to her. Someone knocked on the door about 20 minutes later. All of the kids and our parents walked in. "Come on in guys. There's some little people who would like to meet you." Everyone crowded around me and Lena to get a look at the babies. "Can we hold them?" Jude was the first to ask. Everyone got to hold the babies before they were ushered out by the nurses. The room was finally quiet. The babies were sleeping away in their hospital cribs. I walked over to my wife and sat on the bed next her. I leaned back and let her snuggle up to my side. "Thank you so much Lena. You have given me the greatest gift anyone can give a person." She smiled and we both fell asleep holding each other and dreaming about our lives with Sam and Sofia, our daughters.
