Chapter 24

My beautiful baby boys ^^^

HENRY POV

"He is so beautiful". I said to Jace.

That is the very first thing I say when I see the tiny figure in the crib. He is sleeping so I try not to make any loud noise or touch him, I could only admire from afar. My beautiful boy. I know I have tears in my eyes and I don't bother to wipe them off. Jace was silently by my side as we took in the view of our newborn baby born unaware of the world he is in and the fact that his twin is undergoing a life saving operation.

"We made that, can you believe it." I said turning to Jace

"Yeah we did. And you did a damn good job."

I want to touch him so bad but I don't think I can wake him up, the best thing for me to do is to gain my strength back so I can be healthy enough to take care of my children, all of them.

"No I didn't, I wasn't even awake for it." Regret laced my voice, if the doctors hadn't been quick enough I may have lost my babies.

"It couldn't be helped and all in all, they came okay. I'm proud of us." That brought a smile to my face.

"Okay, I believe you. Come on lets go back to my room, there is no point crying over it now. All I can do is get better and stronger so that I can take care of our kids properly."

"Good news is now that you are no longer at risk of miscarriage and will be free to walk around soon, I say we start planning our wedding." Happiness blossomed in my heart, there are no longer dark clouds ahead, its like I am seeing clearly for the first time in a long time. There is no more sadness and no reason to be sad. I know my baby will be okay so I will only look on the bright side from now on.

"Sure, why not. But I want a Winter Wedding. I always have." Jace smiled down at me, by now we are reaching the VIP ward which is where Jace had them put me I am sure of it.

"Your wish is my command."

It was a few hours later, Jace had just gone to get me something to eat when the doctor came into my room and told me that my baby is gong to be okay and that he in recovery. He just has to get used to breathing on his own which would take up to two weeks but after that he will be well enough to go home.

Henry came in at this particular moment.

"Doctor, what are you doing here?" He said bringing in a tray of what looks like oats and jelly.

The Doctor turned to him smiling.

"Oh nothing, just telling Henry the good news, your son is out of the woods, he just needs time to recover and then you can take him home." I didn't even know hpw to express how happy I was, but Jace helped.

"Thank you Doctor, you just made us the happiest people on the planet. How can we ever repay you?"

"Oh no need for that, I'm just doing my job. Although I know this is hard to request the parents of what is going to be a healthy growing boy, but if you can please keep his physical activities to the minimum in the future, he is a special boy and I don't want to see him anywhere near and OR ever again."

"You don't have to worry about that, with any luck he would be allowed to leave the house, we might just have him home schooled." I said not willing to let him out of my sight once I have him in it.

Jace looks amused but he knows very well that I am serious.

"Henry we are not going to lock him up, ease up a little okay Honey. He will be fine." I couldn't help it I felt helpless, I don't want to lose anybody.

"I know, I'm just so scared." Jace hugs me closer to his chest. I felt safer in his arms and I calmed down a little.

"I know and as long as we have eachother everything will be fine, he will be fine."

"Okay, its going to be fine." I say. I turned in Jace arms to look at the Doctor.

"Can we see him?" I asked.

"Yeah, just this way. Jace don't forget to put your husband in his wheel chair, I have heard that he is very stubborn and we don't want him tearing open his stitches."

"You don't have to tell me twice Doctor." Jace said already rolling over the moving chair to my bedside.

Once I'm fully on the roller chair, Jace and I are led to our baby.

He was taken back to the room he was in before his surgery and that means that he is with his brother.

Their cribs were side by side, the only difference was the tubes and wires hooked up to one of them.

"He still needs help breathing but all that will be removed from him soon, he is making progress in his recovery so it wont be long." I choke on a sob as the Doctor said that.

"He is really going to be okay?"

"Of course, he is a really lucky boy."

"Jace, take me to him, I want to see my baby." He does, he pushes me closer to the cribs and stops between the cribs, #1 was awake and more than happy to have company so Jace picks him up and starts gushing at him.

This is the happiest moment of my life, both my children are alive and healthy, and I really can't ask for anything more.

I look at Jace with #1 in his arms and reach out my hand for him to put our baby in my arms so I could carry him for the first time since his birth, he doesn't waste anytime and places the baby very gently in my arms, and at that moment, I felt at peace like I never have before, I felt like every shitty thing that has happened to me in this life all the heartbreaks and loneliness has led me here with these children and my new family.

I brought them to this world and they are going to depend on me for many things and I am going to have to be strong enough to give them the life they deserve. it felt really good to be wanted and needed after years of feeling like I don't deserve to be happy. people have made me feel worthless, but now I see that it was all a test because I am not worthless, I am worth something to be the people that love and that is all that matters.

I looked at my baby with a smile on my face, he smiled at me too with his gum filled teeth.

"He looks just like you, they both do." I heard Jace say, I looked up and he was standing beside me.

"Jace they are so beautiful, I'm so happy." I said with tears in my eyes, he leaned down to lay a kiss on my forehead.

"Hey baby, I'm your, well uuh, Jace how are we gonna do this because they are not going to call me mommy and I think birth giver is a bit too complicated for a newborn?" Jace just laughs, very loudly I was afraid he was going wake #2.

"How about this, you are going to be Papa and I'm Daddy, sound good." He said smiling at the baby who is looking between the two of us giggling like he understood what we were talking about.

"Well I guess that could work." I said and turned to the baby. He lay calmly in my arms a chubby giggly mess and he looked so cute.

"Hey baby I'm your Papa, I'm the cool one and I just want you to know that I love you and your brother very much." I lean down to kiss him on his cheeks but he just grabs my curls in his chubby arms and giggles.

We both turned when we heard fussing coming from the incubator beside us.

We were pleasantly surprised to see #2 moving tears came to my eyes and I had to blink them away.

Both my babies were going to be ok. They were alive!!!

I looked up at Jace and he was already staring at me with a smile on his face.

"Jace he's gonna be ok, he's really gonna be ok" I said happily and then looked down at the baby in my arms.

Our eyes locked and it felt like he was looking right at me, we held the eye contact for what felt like a longtime, and I know it sounds weird and he is just a baby but it It felt like he could see right through me. When he was done, a huge smile broke out on his face and I felt like I had been psychoanalyzed by my new born.

I wanted to tell Jace what happened but when l looked up at him, I found him with hands in the incubator through the hole touching and trying to cuddle our son. it was a very beautiful sight and I wished I had my phone with me so I could capture the moment. At this moment we were all happy, Jace was playing with #2 and I was playing with #1 Speaking of which-

"Jace they need names." I said with a deadpan expression.

"Heh!" he said turning to me with a confused look on his face though his smile was still there.

"They need names, we can't keep calling them #1 and #2 forever, l even call them that in my thoughts." He burst out laughing but stops suddenly.

"You're right. I call them that in my thoughts too." He comes to me and picks up the baby in my arms.

"So what do you want to name them." he said distractedly while making silly faces at #1. I watched in fascination as he squeezed out a few giggles from the baby. Then I remembered what he said.

"Mee!! What do you mean me, you're the father, besides you have more experience with naming your kids.

"That's why I want you to do it besides you gave birth to them, you're re the amazing person that carried them for nine months so I think you deserve the honors."

"But what if I give them a weird name, they're going to resent me forever."

"They are not going to hate you and you are not going to give them weird names and even if you do I'm here to guide you on the right path." He said giving me his signature smirk.

I don't know what it is about that smirk but anytime I ace looks at me this way, it feels like all my doubts are washed away and are replaced by happy thoughts. Right now I had no doubt that I would become a good parent to my children.

So with a light heart I finally said

"Their names are...."

"Wait a second, where are the kids?" Jace said interrupting  me, which is actually good because I hadn't thought of any names that are good enough for my babies yet.

"Well you sent them out with Jensen and Lacy." He looked thoughtful for a while and then nodded.

"Why don't you call Jensen, I'm sure they went to get the kids something to eat, you know how excitable they can get."

"You're right hold on a second let me call Jensen." He said and set the baby that he managed to rock back to sleep in his crib beside me. Meanwhile I am lost in thought, thinking about some good names for my little boys.

I wheeled myself close to the incubator and stared at my baby in there for a long time, happy that he is going to be okay and worrying but also thankful.

I put my hands through the hole an for the first time I felt what it was like to be complete. I felt all these feelings hit me at the same time. He was still awake and he grabbed my finger in his. he smiled when I started rubbing his side. He looked so happy despite everything that has happened to him in his short time on earth.

You know in all those cartons when the character has a really great eureka moments and it's like there is a light bulb floating on top of the character's head? No? OK well I just had that moment.

Jace came in at that particular moment.

"Jace I have the perfect names, their names are......."

Hey guys, I know its been a while and I'm really, really sorry. Lots of stuff happened and then other things happened on top of the lots of stuff that I really had to take care of and I've hardly had times for myself.

Anyway you guys didn't come here to hear about my problems soooooo, this is just a little something that I had written and I really hope you like it.
