In this chapter I am going to quote the lyrics to Cascada's Everytime We Touch which I Do Not Own the Rights of The Song Either. Hope you enjoy this. I know for C.C's pregnancy I went a little fast but I'm to excited to bring the birth of the twins and how C.C and Niles react to their birth.
As far as C.C and Niles relationship went and as they witnessed it was never better. Even if they did have arguments and disagreements they did not stay mad at each other for long. Their attraction at the end of the day was so strong that they couldn't bare it. Even when C.C was having her mood swings which for a while were strong and heavy. But Niles knew and understood and that was what made them perfect for one another.
One night C.C could not sleep so she went into the living room and sat on the couch turned the T.V for some noise and sat there and thought of all the times they had bickered at eachother and thought about the number of times he would take her out on a date or even share a dance with her time and time again. She thought about the time they were drunk and how that night she planned something but Maxwell but he was out with Miss Fine and how her and Niles called each other names such as Bellboy and Brunette.
Then thought about that kiss that had happen that night. That one kiss that had changed her world. She didn't tell anyone or wanted anyone to know. So she kept it between herself and herself alone. So that is why she continued to bicker at Niles and made jokes about him. Niles on the other hand admitted to himself that the kiss had changed him and his feelings towards Miss Babcock. Even though he didn't know how or when he would tell her or if he would tell her.
Tears started to roll down her eyes when she thought about the time he had his heart attack. She thought about when they bickered that day and how she could clearly call what happened she didn't hear a zinger from him, told him don't make me get ugly, how his blue eyes rolled into the back of his head and he had collapsed on the floor in front of her. To when she thought she may had killed him and said "oh please don't leave me" and started sobbing. She had never felt so scared to lose someone in her life. Then when she got back to the Shefields house, she felt empty and alone. She had never felt this way before. And for the first time in a long time she realized that she missed and loved Niles.
Of course she did not want to admit it to anyone. She didn't think anyone not even Niles would believe her if she did love him so why admit it?. Fran though knew from the way she acted that she missed Niles and would try her best to comfort C.C as much as she could. C.C still blamed herself for the heart attack and hoped to God if there was one that he would be okay. She needed him as much as she hated to admit it. She knew she did not hate him and admitted to Fran she didn't. But as for Niles did he hate her? She wouldn't know the answer until months or even years to come.
She was glad later that day when she found out that he was okay. She wanted to let him know right then and there but was afraid to admit it because of what he would say. She knew that her parents in their minds wouldn't like the idea of her and a butler. It wasn't in her league. He was below her, but she would not admit her feelings, until in years to come Fran told her to admit it, and give Niles the chance to make her happy and feel wanted again. She would eventually forget what her parents told her and wanted for her. This was because she was in fact in love with Niles and if her parents had a problem with it, they would have to get over it or just leave her life for good. She smiled thinking that because no matter what anyone would had or would say, she would say I love Niles and nothing you say can change that. And I am marrying him once and for all. After this flashback C.C started to fell asleep on the couch with the T.V on for noise.
Niles later that night realized the love of his life was not in their bed. So he got up and went out to the hallway only to hear the T.V on and looked down stairs and saw her past out on the couch. He smiled as he reach the bottom of the stairs and looked at her and said to himself " My beautiful wife". He whispered it so he wouldn't wake her. He got into the living room and shut the T.V off and bridal carried his wife upstairs to their room. Even though the pregnancy weight was against him, he knew he could carry her. He had to carry her and their unborn children. He got upstairs into their room, carefully placed her on her side of the bed, then turned the lights off, got on his side and went to sleep. He didn't want to wake her so he didn't curl up with her so he fell asleep dreaming that he was holding her in his arms and that's where he wanted to be.
That night he had a dream and it was a good dream. He dreamed of the birth of his children and how happy it had made him and C.C but also how scared they were of raising them at a older age. The dream became more clearer in years to come when their children grew up and had their own lives. Then it lead to after they left what would happen to him and C.C? Would they grow old together and die together or would something prevent that and one of them die first? The dream wasn't that clear. He would hope he would die in the arms of the one he loved more than anything. He would hope not only the best for their children but also from them. The dream was real he knew it because in the end he would be with the love of his life and that was C.C or in his mind Chasity Claire.
That morning C.C woke up and realized she was in their bed. She didn't know how or when she had got up there but was surprised. Niles was already up in the kitchen preparing food for the Sheffield's and had already done some of his chores. As far as C.C was concern she got up and showered and then got dress with a nice looking blouse and some nice pants. Her dirty blonde hair was pulled back into a bun, her light make up covered her blue eyes and her blush made her skin look pale but not pale white. Her skin had color to it as light as a light pink. She decides to make an entrance down stairs and see's everyone having their breakfast.
She makes a good morning entrance and saids hi to everyone including Gracie, Jonah and Eve which are eating their own breakfast that morning with bottles in their mouths as mother Fran trying to keep them calm. Niles who already knows the answer if she would like a cup of coffee, gets her a cup and starts to pour her a cup.
Gracie finishes her breakfast then gets ready for school and leaves soon after that. C.C sits down and Niles brings her plate of chocolate chip pancakes, eggs and bacon to her. She gives him a kiss on the cheek to just say thank my dear for this meal. As a glimpse in his eyes he see's it and as well returns a look to say "your welcome my love". Soon after she sits down, everyone starts to leave and go on with their day. He sits down beside her and they share their breakfast and share their meal.
While eating C.C asks him "How did I end up in our bed, I thought I fell asleep on the couch". He saids you did fall asleep on the couch, I realized that you weren't in our bed anymore last night and came down stairs because I heard the T.V and saw you sleeping so I bridal carried you into bed and let you sleep on your side of the bed. She saids "oh why would you want to carry me"? He replies "because you are my wife and soon to be mother of my children". She smiled, she liked the sound of it, it has a nice ring.
She thought about a song she had heard on the radio in her mind he went perfect for them but she didn't say anything.
I still hear your voice, when you sleep next to me.
I still feel your touch in my dream.
Forgive me my weakness, but I don't know why
Without you it's hard to survive.
'Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling.
And every time we kiss, I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side.
'Cause every time we touch, I feel the static.
And every time we kiss, I reach for the sky.
Can't you feel my heart beat so...
I can't let you go.
Want you in my life.
Your arms are my castle, your heart is my sky.
They wipe away tears that I cry.
The good and the bad times, we've been through them all.
You make me rise when I fall.
'Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling.
And every time we kiss, I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side.
'Cause every time we touch, I feel the static.
And every time we kiss, I reach for the sky.
Can't you feel my heart beat so...
I can't let you go.
Want you in my life.
'Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling.
And every time we kiss, I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side.
Niles, she finally saids after breakfast could we share a dance, I have a song I want you to hear. It has some special meaning to me. He saids "of course my dear, just let me pick up the kictchen and in here and we can have that dance. So after breakfast he picked the plates and mess in the dinning room and kitchen.
Then C.C put the song on and they danced to it as if the world had stopped. They looked into eachothers eyes and payed no attention to anyone else. This is the day that C.C saw a side of him like never before even if he was a bellboy to her. He made her dreams come true by giving her that dance. She whispered the lyrics in his ears which made him tinge. It was good to know they still had that spark like they did in the beginning but it also was good to know that she could still insult him and he insult her back.
After the dance they both had to do their jobs even though they did run into each other all day they usually just kept the insults regularly
C.C would usually say bellboy to Niles and he would give it back to her with a brunette comment or trollop.
It was something that didn't really fade. She was so used to calling him dust mop or something like that and it sometimes slipped and she would feel bad after she laughed but knew he would take the joke.
Nothing really changed in the months but C.C's stomach. She started to grow and grow more in the months of her pregnancy. Somedays she would wish that the babies would come already but knew in the first five months that wouldn't happen. By her 8th or 9th month she started getting bigger but that didn't change anything between Niles and her because they still were crazy as ever with each other. Sometimes they got a little to crazy that they'd gross the rest of the house. But by the 9th month of C.C's pregnancy things started slowing down.
The reason was because C.C's ankles started swelling, her back started to bother often and the doctors had requested her on bedrest and diagnosed her with Braxton hick contractions and wanted her to take it easy. As all know C.C was not thrilled, she would say time and time again I have work that needs t be done I cant be in bed doing it.
Niles who was busy with the house, painting and decorating a nursery and taking care of C.C very rare had time anymore for anything else. The nursery he decided was going to be a surprise for C.C and the babies. Fran, Max and Gracie when she could would help out with decorating. Niles and Max had already set up the cribs and changing tables which was done prior to the painting and decorating because it would be easier to move them in the hallway during the panting project.
To flashback a little Niles and C.C had decided for a bit they would stay with Max and Fran until the babies were a little older and then they would find a house close to the Sheffield's and make it there own. This is what would make it easier on them and their children. C.C and Niles were happy with the decision .
Then down the hall everyone heard the news "Someone come quick, I think I am going into labor. They all run into see C.C into pain. Her bags had been packed. Niles started to dial the doctors and tell them they were on their way to the hospital. They got C.C into the car and started on their way to the journey of an amazing new lives being born.
Meanwhile in the car, Niles sat with C,C coaching her the best he can as Max and Fran drove the fast as they could to the hospital.
C.C was in labor for sure as her contractions were minutes apart and the babies at any minute could be born but what was bound to happen would be a long road ahead of them.
They got into the hospital and had got C.C checked in and right into a hospital room. Niles had followed her up there while everyone else stayed down stairs waiting for the birth of the wonderful babies.
He knew C.C was in pain so everything she would say to him that was mean he didn't take offense to it. He didn't take it to heart, he knew after the twins were born he would be the happiest man in the world even though just having C.C made him happy.
Hours past and her contractions got worse but she did not want any drugs or anything. She wanted a normal birth. She wanted her children naturally and that's how it would be even if she was in labor for 15hrs straight.
As far as her calling Niles names she called him everything to every swear word in the book. He didn't take it offensive though because it was the labor causing it and she loved him even though she was in pain. 8hours had passed still nothing had changed but by 10 hours her contractions were more apart then ever and she was fully dilated and that was when the doctor wanted her to start pushing. She took Niles hand and started to push, by a few pushes baby A was out. Doctor had announced it was a beautiful little girl. She was a little beauty she had blue eyes like Niles but also had blonde hair like her mothers and was absolutely beautiful. The nurse took the beautiful little girl and weighed her and cleaned her off. Then the doctor told C.C one more time around. She told C.C to start pushing and she did. She held Niles hand as she was pushing. By five or six pushes later Baby B had came out he came to be announced as a beautiful little boy. He had blue eyes like Niles and dark hair like him. He looked a lot like Niles did and that made Niles happy.
After they both seen the babies the grins on their faces expressed how happy they were. The nurse took the little boy and cleaned him up and weighed him. The little girl weighed 6lbs 10.4onces and the little boy weighed 6lbs and 10onces. After they both were cleaned up the nurse handed them to C.C and Niles and now they were complete. They decided to name the little girl after her mother. It was Niles idea because she was as beautiful as C.C and looked a lot like her. So the little girl was also named Chasity Claire. The little boy was named Jayden James after Niles one great grandfather that he always looked up too.
Niles looked at C.C and said "I'm so proud of you my darling, you did wonderful, you brought our beautiful children in the world and they are beautiful I could not imagine having them without anyone else. This brought tears to her eyes and said "I feel the same way Niles". They share a kiss. Niles tells C.C I will be back I am going to tell Max, Fran and everyone. He went down stairs and shared the news. They all were happy for them. Niles also told them the names and they all went up with him to meet the new Babcock's.
Everyone comes up to see C.C and the babies. They all look with amazement to see these children look like their parents. As they say that Chasity Claire who was named after her mother looked exactly like C.C and how Jayden looked so much liked Niles. Gracie asked C.C if she could hold Jayden. C.C said "Sure Gracie I wouldn't mind at all. Gracie starts talking to him to cooing him. Fran then takes little Chasity from her mother and they start to bond. C.C just looks at her children and thinks what a perfect world there is nothing else in this world I would rather have. Then gives Niles a little look as to say thank you. He gives her a look back into almost saying your welcome love. Everyone enjoys the babies until the nurse tells them that C.C should have her rest and then they all leave and head home. Niles on the other hand doesn't leave her but stays with her and there bundle of joy and that first night he sleeps on her shoulder and they sleep peacefully until the babies need attention.
The next few days get hettic with the new bundles of joy with night feedings to diaper changes. Niles and C.C barely have time for one another and usually to exhausted to do anything when the time comes. Life with the new lifes and chatoic but also fun because C.C would usually hum a lluabye to them or sing softly to them. She had got so used to taking care of Frans children that with her own she became a loving and caring mother and person. It was a part of her no one saw and thats what Niles liked a loving side of her.
As weeks and months past they grew up and became their own individuals. Chasity became like her mother but had the loving side of her. Jayden who was looking more like Niles had a temper but didn't use it as much as one would think. The children became close to eachother and if one was gone the other one would try to look for the other one. Life in the sheffields was rough with babies around. Niles as the butler had more responsibilities to do as far as keeping the house clean and making sure chores were done for Max. C.C couldn't get a break with bottle feds or anything.
One day came when Max told C.C that she needed to take a break from work and be with her kids. C.C told Max there was nothing to worry about but Max didn't buy it and told her that once the children were a little older she could come back.
C.C told Niles later that day and Niles told her it would be best because then he could have a chance to get some work done around the house and that with two babies plus the Sheffields children that it was too chaotic. C.C told Niles that she wasn't ready to just quit her work and be a stay at home mom, it wasn't her thing and what would happen if something happened. He told her not to worry I believe in you.
Having twins in that house was chatotic but fun somedays it worried C.C of how much Niles was working. He didn't see his children enough she thought. One night while in bed they had an argument.
"Niles I see the children everyday, I play and take care of them while your at work why can't I get a day for myself"?
"C.C I can't take off work just like that Max won't go for it"
"I'll ask Fran then I doubt she would care if I wanted to go out for a bit and have you take care of them".
"Your not asking Fran to take care of our children just because you want a day off"
"Niles all i am asking for is a couple of hours away"
"C.C its not a good idea I am telling you this"
" I am doing it Niles no matter what you say"
Niles finally had enough and said Fine I'm sleeping on the couch you can argue with them tomorrow
He left her and went on the couch. She couldn't understand why he acted that way but knew he couldn't stay mad at her all night, he would be back in bed with her in time. To come to surprise he didn't he slept on the couch all night and when they both saw each other in the kitchen they didn't say a word. C.C passed him and whispered I'm Sorry but he didn't hear her. During the day all she thought about was that fight. She cried a few tears before going to find him and to tell him he was right she only wanted a break because she was overwhelmed with the kids and understood that he didn't want to watch them. But thats when he and her ran into eachother in the hall. He looked at her and saw her tears and thats when he opened his arms and let her just cry in his arms and then realized he was way out of line and that he would not want nothing better to be able to take care of the children and that he would tell Max she needed a day out.
They didn't say a word but knew one another was sorry and that's when Niles said "Dear I'll watch the kids go have fun, you need it more than anything and I can tell your overwhelmed and I'm sorry for the way I acted it wasn't right of me to say the things I did". She forgave him even if she didn't say anything but other than gave him a kiss on the cheek as a thank you. It was then and there they realized that they loved each other too much to fight over the little things. And that their love was real and true and that no matter what they could get thru anything. Even in years to come they would realize that there love was strong and that no matter the storm they could overcome anything and everything as long as they had their children in their lives.
