I have to…-a contraction- talk to you. Is important.
-Ok, what it is?
Lena had to wait 40 minutes to hear what Stef have to tell her because she was suffering a lot and the nurse want the blonde to have an epidural injection but when she was feeling better Stef started to open her heart to the curly haired woman.
-I know we only know each other for a little more than three months but…um…since the very beginning I had felt something for you. Listen, when I was a teenager my dad found me with my "girlfriend" making out on the couch and he sent me to a priest, he told me I was a sinner and that I had to fixed it marrying a man and having kids and that my family would not love me if I continue being gay. I had tried to hide it for a long time, I had done everything that man told me but when I first show you …um –another contraction hit her – when I first show you it was just me and you, you were perfect but I was afraid. Now I'm bored of being in the closet, I had been a lot of time in here. I can't deny my feelings for you anymore. I'm in love with you, with your beautiful mocha skin, your massy curly hair and your personality, the way your eyes shine every time you smile and the way you always want to warm your hands with my back. Yesterday I was super jealous of that bitch that was making love to you and I know you would not want to….not want to get involved with a single mother of twins, that you would not want to dealt with all my crap but…
And the door open and a nurse interrupted them; Lena has tears in her eyes, hearing Stef saying those words, the words she was waiting 3 months to hear was incredible. The nurse checked on Stef.
-Stef, you are 8 centimeters dilated, I'm going to do an ultrasound so we can check on the babies, check their heartbeats and if they are totally fine in there. Then I think in half an hour you would be ready to have your babies.
The nurse do the ultrasound and Lena grab Stef's hand in hers like she had been doing and when the babies appeared in the screen Stef smiled and Lena squeezed her hand.
-Ok, their heartbeats are very good that means they would be healthy and survive the labor and they are in the good size and pounds. The boy's position is ok but we have to try chance the girl's position a little because could hurt you a little. Maybe you can kneel on the seat with your back in the backrest so her head can move a little. Just do it for ten minutes and I would check again her position. If this not works we can help her in the labor.
So Stef try to do what the nurse had told her but it was hard because she was having contractions more often. Lena went to have some coffee and she went to the waiting area where Jenna and Callie were.
-Lena! She has done it! How is she?
-No, she is ok, 8 centimeters dilated and the babies are fine but the little girl's head is in a difficult position so Stef is trying to help her settled. The nurse told us that she would be into labor in 30 minutes.
-And why are you not happy?
-Because before the nurse came into the room Stef told me that she was in love with me since the very beginning and that she is bored of been in the closed and that I would not like to have a relationship with a single mother of two. She wanted to say more but the nurse enter the room and ruined everything.
-And what are you feeling? You want to be with a single woman of two?
-I'm so in love with her and I think I don't care help her with the kids and have a family with her but you know I have never been with a new lesbian is…complicated.
-Lena she was with a girl before and she is divorced now so there are no problems. You both had been unhappy this three months always wanted to be with the other but without any progress so just do it girl!
Lena went back there and Stef was in the same position talking into the phone with Mike:
-Michael, I had told you that is ok, Lena and all my friends are here with me and mom would be in an hour or so. You finish the work and in two days you would meet your babies Mike. –She hung out the phone and smiled at Lena –You are back!
-Yes, can we finish our conversation? We don't have a lot of time until you start screaming and taking babies away from you.
Both of them chuckled and Stef continue with her speech: I know you don't want to dealt with me and my babies but please, give me a chance, I had told my mom that I'm in love with a woman, a beautiful woman, I have told her that I'm a lesbian because I belong with you Lena.
Lena was crying and when she was about to answer her a nurse enter the room again and check on her and suddenly they heard things like "almost 10 centimeters" "she is ready" and they were taken to the OR. 45 minutes later Lena was grabbing Stef's hand and the blonde was cursing and screaming and blaming Mike for everything.
-Stef, look at me, look at me – Stef look into the brown eyes –you have to breath, in and out, in and out, with me. C'mon.- Stef do what Lena told her and she was relaxing a little.
-Ok Stef at the next contraction you have to push ok? It would hurt but Lena would help you to breath and would encourage you to have your babies into the world.
-Ahhhhhhhhhh,
-Push Stef, push, you can do this, you can do this.
15 minutes later the doctor told her: I see the head, I see the head, c'mon Stephanie, try again.
And Stef push for like 10 more minutes until she feel that something was out of her and she hear someone cry. –Is a boy.
She was overwhelmed, Lena stroke her hair, putting it away of her hair and kissing her forehead. –You had do it Stef, your baby boy is here with us.
-Yes, he is here.-another contraction hit her.
-Ok, the baby girl wants to meet you too Stephanie, this will be faster because she is almost here so push, push.
-Lena, I can't do this again, I can't. I'm going to break, do this for me, please.
-I would do it if I could, believe me but I can't.
Stef push for 5 minutes until she was crying again in Lena's hand so Lena decided it was time to encourage her with the right words: Listen, you are not alone in this Stef, I'm going to be here with you, you told me that I would not want to have an instant family, that's right, I want an instant family only if is with you, in this 3 months I had tried to be with other women but I couldn't stop thinking about you. So I want to be with you, I want you to be my girlfriend because I'm in love with you, so much that hurts and I want to help you with the twins.
And she do it, Lena's lips meet Stef's lips and they shared the most romantic and full of love kiss they had never experience but Stef screamed again with tears of joy in her hazel eyes.
The little girl was 30 minutes later than her brother. The doctor put the boy in Stef's arms and she was overwhelmed with the love she was feeling. The boy open his eyes, green eyes and she kissed his forehead.
-Brandon Michael Foster welcome to the world.
The doctor told her that his little Brandon was 20 inches, 7 pounds and 21 ounces; he was super healthy and very beautiful. Lena was hugging Stef and Brandon, looking with adoration at the boy with those green eyes that she love. Stef put Brandon in her arms and peck her lips but she wanted her little girl with her. The doctor put the baby girl in her arms. She was wide awake and was making little sounds super adorable. The only difference with Brandon was her eyes, Brandon's were totally green but the girl's was hazel eyes: green mixed with brown. Her eyes. Lena let Brandon in his crib and took Callie from Stef's arms, she almost drop the newborn to the floor when she heard Stef:
-Lena Elizabeth Adams, I love you and I want you to be the mother of our babies so I want you to name the girl. I'm sure it will be a perfect name for my little bug.
Lena told her the name with tears in her eyes: Callie Quinn Foster.
-Callie Elizabeth Quinn Foster, Elizabeth because of you, because you have help me with everything and you are the best thing that ever happened to me. Well, one of the three best things that ever happened to me.
-I love you, Stephanie, we will be cool mothers.
Callie Elizabeth Quinn Foster was shorter that her brother: 18'11 inches, 6 pounds and 30 ounces; but she was also healthy and beautiful.
Minutes later Stef, Lena and the twins were in a room where Sharon, Stef's mother was waiting with Jenna and Kelly.
-Oh my god Stephanie, how are you? How are they?
-I'm fine Ma, thank you. They are good too, healthy and beautiful.
Sharon took Callie from Stef's arms and started kissing her face, Lena felt that Stef was missing having her babies with her so she put Brandon in her arms and kiss her forehead whispering an I love you to her blonde and beautiful girlfriend.
-Stef, she is so adorable and she has your eyes. You ok?
-Yes, Kelly, thank you. I'm good but I just want to rest.
-Ok, we will be here tomorrow afternoon. Congratulations!
Lena offered to take them to the car so Stef and Sharon could talk.
-Stephanie, that's Lena? She is wonderful darling.
-Yes mom, she is Lena and I think we are dating now. She had told me that she wanted to be my girlfriend and help me with the twins.
-Awe, that's wonderful. I'm so proud of you my baby. These kids are the best thing you had created doll, they are adorable.
-Thank you mom. I would appreciate a nap right now, you are staying in a hotel?
-Yes Stephanie, I would be here tomorrow morning with your dad. Love you darling, good night.
Sharon found Lena in the hallway and stopped her: Lena, thank you so much for help Stef with this, Mike is a jackass but I'm sure you would be a better partner for her and those kids would be so proud of call you mom one day. Welcome to my family darling.
Lena smiled at her: Sharon, is not a problem, I love Stef and I want to be a good mother for these kids, I had been thinking of them as my own for a while.
-Ok darling, good night.
Lena went to Stef's room and she found her asleep in the bed, facing the children cribs. Lena went to Callie's crib and kissed her cheek then to Brandon's crib and she kissed his forehead. She went to Stef's bed and kissed her lips and forehead before she went to the armchair near the window and in front of her new family so she can protect them all. She was now happy, and she wants to make things work with Stef and the twins.
She whispered into Stef's direction: 'You are finally mine and I'm so in love with you so you are stuck with me forever blondie"
