Chapter 15: Twins
I looked at my newborn babies' pump round faces.
They barely had any hair, of coarse, and their eyes were shining brightly.
They had dark brown hair, like me and my mom, and blue green eyes, like Bo.
Bo looked at me and smiled.
I let him hold them. The boy tugged on his hair and the girl gurgled and laughed when she touched his nose.
Twenty hours of labor had been worth it.
He handed them back to me and we both watched them as they played.
"What should we name them?" Bo said, already knowing the boy's name.
"Justin and…" I said. "Danielle."
"Danielle… That's a beautiful name." Bo said.
Not trying to brag, but Danielle is gorgeous.
Justin grabbed Danielle's hair and made happy gurgling sounds.
Danielle waved her arms happily and laughed.
Luckily, mom had sent us girl and boy baby clothes, since we didn't know which it was going to be.
She said she'd return all the other clothes and buy more for whatever kind of baby it was.
I sat up in the hospital bed and gave Bo a kiss.
"Thanks for sharing one of the most magical times of my life with me." I said happily.
After another hour, Bo and I went home with our newborn babies.
We decided to let the babies sleep with us in our bed until Pascal could get us two cradles.
I brought the babies around the house and then lied down on the bed with them.
Bo came in and then went into the kitchen.
He brought me fish stew and went into the kitchen too eat his.
After I ate, I fed the babies, and then put them to bed.
"Some day huh?" he asked jokingly as he sat down beside me.
"Heh. I'll say." I answered weakly.
"Perry says you'll need a few days rest before you can get back to farm work." Bo said.
I sighed.
"Until then. I'll take care of the farm." Bo said.
I looked up at him in astonishment.
"I've already taken care of everything. And it's only three days." Bo confirmed.
He grabbed my hand firmly and said, "You trust me, don't you?"
I smiled and said, "With my life." And then I gave him a kiss.
Jack jumped up on the bed and sniffed the babies.
Then he walked in a circle, and curled up beside them.
"I guess Jackie knows who his knew little masters are.
"I guess so." Bo answered.
Bo and I snuggled up on the bed, and fell asleep almost instantly.
We were exhausted.
***
We woke up to the crying of two little babies.
I looked at the radio alarm clock next to the bed and moaned.
It was two thirty in the morning.
I got up and changed their diapers.
They still whined. So I fed them.
Then I rocked them to sleep.
And I, Thank God, also fell asleep.
And did not wake up again that night.
Author's Note:

I'M SO EXCITED!!! Lol. Sorry. It's been really hard to keep this secret; especially from Shari, who is my cousin and a reader. She thought it was just gonna be a girl! I'm never gonna stop laughing! Sorry for babbling on. Hope everyone was as shocked and surprised as I hoped. I've been in a writing mood this week. Thanks for reading!
