July 20th
Carly was nervous as she glanced up at the hospital clock. It was nearly 9:00 AM, and the doctor would be in soon to get her prepped for her scheduled C-Section. When Ted walked into the room with his bottle of water, he instantly noticed the worried look on his wife's face.
"Baby, what's the matter?" he asked as he once again took a seat in the chair next to Carly's bed.
"Ted...aren't you a little nervous about the twins? I mean...double the night duty, double everything. I am more nervous about when you go back on the road. I just hope I can handle 3 kids under the age of 2."
Ted then slipped his hand into Carly's and gently squeezed it. "Babe, everything is going to work out fine. I am home for a month, and even after I'm gone you know that help will be around for awhile. My family lives nearby, and your mom, dad and step-dad all said they were going to fly in and stay too. Plus, as soon as we get home, we can try and get the babies on a schedule...that way it might not be so hard."
Carly only grinned and started tearing up. Ted then sat carefully on her hospital bed, and wiped away her tears. "I love you, and I am extremely proud of you."
"I love you too," Carly whispered. "By the way, how did Alex take you leaving him with your parents this morning?"
Ted smirked. "Mike & Christy were there, and soon as he saw Uncle Mike, he ran toward him. When I gave his duffel bag to my dad and left, he didn't even notice."
"Well, I guess that's good," Carly replied as Dr. Rodgers walked in.
"Good morning Ted and Carly. We are ready to get you prepped. Are you ready?"
Carly glanced at Ted, who winked at her. She then took a deep breath. "Yeah, I think I'm ready."
Another nurse came in and helped the doctor wheel Carly's bed toward the operating room with Ted following close behind. Once in the room, they began to numb her and Ted took his usual spot, sitting down by Carly's head.
"You know what I just realized Ted?"
"What's that?"
"These babies don't even have names. How could we forget to pick out names?" Carly exclaimed.
Ted chuckled. "Well, it's not like they are going to live without names forever. Plus, the only reason they don't have names is because we couldn't agree on any."
"Carly, we are about to begin. You'll soon feel some tugging," Dr. Rodgers explained.
Within moments, Carly could in fact feel the tugging, and scrunched her face in discomfort. Ted then scooted closer and held her hand. "You doing ok?" he asked.
"Oh yeah. Ted, what do you think about more children?"
Ted was surprised by the question. "Carls, your on the delivery table now and already asking about more kids?"
"Well, I mean 3 is a nice round number. After going through 2 C-Sections, I think I can safely say I'm done."
Ted smiled as he kissed her forehead. "3 is a nice round number..."
Before Ted could say anything more, they both heard the first baby cry. "It's a boy!" Dr. Rodgers exclaimed. Carly couldn't help but cry as she heard her own son's cries for the first time, and from the way it sounded, he had a healthy set of lungs. After cutting the umbilical cord, Ted kissed Carly's forehead once again.
"I love you, and I am so proud of you," he exclaimed.
A nurse brought over the infant so Carly could see him, but soon brought him over to get cleaned up and dressed. Within a few minutes, Ted and Carly heard cries again as their daughter was safely delivered. "It's a girl!" the doctor exclaimed.
Carly was able to see her daughter for a few minutes before she was also taken to the other side of the room to be cleaned off and dressed. "Carly, your son was born at 9:33 AM and weighed 6lbs and 4 oz and 20 inches long. Your daughter was born at 9:35 AM and weighed 6lbs and 5 oz and 19 1/2 inches long," the doctor explained.
"They are both healthy right?" Carly asked as she wiped away a few stray tears.
"They are both very healthy," Dr. Rodgers exclaimed.
Within another hour, Carly was moved back into her room, and the babies were with her, both content as could be. Ted had stepped out of the room for only a minute, calling his parents and Carly's, and when he walked back into the room, he couldn't help but smile.
"Mom and Dad are going to bring Alex up here in a couple of hours," Ted explained as he sat down next to Carly on the bed. "They want to make sure you get some rest before everyone comes."
"Ok. Did you happen to call my parents?" she asked as Ted carefully took their daughter from her arms.
"Yep, and they are already in town, but also said they would be up this afternoon." Ted then looked down at his daughter, and smirked as she wrapped her tiny hand around his finger. "I don't think it can get any better than this."
Carly smiled and then glanced down at her sleeping son. "I don't know why I was so worried. I don't think I have seen such content babies in my life. Alex was alot like this."
Ted nodded his head in agreement. "Well, do you think we should try the name game again?"
"Yeah we should. How about we each pick a name?" Carly suggested.
"That's fair enough."
As Carly looked over at Ted and their daughter, only one name came to mind. "Ted, I think I just thought of the perfect name for our beautiful daughter."
"What's that?" he asked.
"Ally Marie DiBiase?" she suggested.
Ted smiled at Carly, fully knowing the meaning behind the name. He then glanced down at the baby girl in his arms and nodded. "I like it. She definietly looks like an Ally," he said as he leaned forward carefully and quickly kissed Carly.
"Now, what about this little guy?" Carly asked as she wiped away a stray tear. "What are you thinking for him?"
Ted pursed his lips as he thought for a moment. "Since we have Alex and Ally, does his name have to start with an A?"
"Not necessarily. Did you think of one?"
"No, that's why I asked," Ted said, chuckling. "I went through that baby name book of yours one night, and didn't read any that I liked. The only names that I really liked for a boy was either Dylan or Tyler."
"I like either of them," Carly said. "They were both on my list."
"Alright then, let's make this easy. How about Dylan Tyler DiBiase?"
"I love it. It's absolutely perfect."
A nurse soon came and took the twins to the nursery so Carly could get some rest. When she woke up about another hour or so later, she noticed she was in the room by herself. Just as she was about to reach for her cell phone to see where he went, he walked back in the room, with a vase full of flowers in one hand, and a bouquet of balloons in the other. "Aw Ted, you shouldn't have!"
"Carls, you've given birth to my children...it's the least I could do," he said, smirking.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Ted's dad poked his head through. "Are you guys up for some visitors?"
Ted glanced at Carly, who nodded. "Sure, come on in," he gestured.
Jan walked in the room behind Ted Sr. with Alex in her arms. As soon as Alex saw his dad, he immediately tried to wiggle out of Jan's arms, and then toddled toward Ted.
"Hey buddy!" Ted exclaimed as they sat closer to Carly. "I missed you!"
"Mommy missed you too!" Carly said as she took Alex from Ted and hugged her oldest. "Are you ready to meet your brother and sister?"
Carly could only smile at Alex's facial expression, knowing full well he really didn't understand what was going on. Ted returned to the room within a few minutes, and with the help of a nurse, brought in the babies.
"Oh my Gosh, how adorable!" Jan exclaimed as she held Ally.
"Do they have names yet?" Ted Sr. asked.
"Yes. Mom, you are holding Ally Marie DiBiase, and this little guy in my arms is Dylan Tyler DiBiase," Ted said proudly.
"How adorable. I love your name choices!" Jan exclaimed.
Ted's brothers and their wives, as well as Carly's parents soon joined everyone at the hospital, and Marlene couldn't help but pull out her camera.
"I want to take a family picture of Ted, Carly and the kids."
"Mom, that's a great idea!" Carly exclaimed as she moved Alex in the middle between her and Ted, and held Dylan in the other arm as Ted held Ally. They all smiled brightly, and soon saw the camera flash. Marlene then reviewed the picture.
"Oh what a cute picture!" she exclaimed. "You guys look like the perfect family."
Marlene then showed it to Carly. "Aww, I love that picture! I definietly want a copy."
Ted also looked at the picture, and nodded in agreement how good it looked. "We have a good lookin' bunch, don't we?" he whispered in her ear as he kissed the side of her head.
"Yeah we do. Like you said earlier, I don't think it can get better than this!" Carly exclaimed.
