COLTON
We arrived at the hospital and Dr. Belle Johnson was already there waiting for us. I placed Shana into the wheeled stretcher or known as Gurney. I could feel the pain Shana was feeling when I looked at her. I feel like crying and wish that I would take her pain away.
They proceeded to the Labor Room and of course, I was with her. I put hospital gown on me as required. She transferred to another bed inside the Delivery Room. I was holding her hands and she was sweating.
"Hey, baby, hang on. I am always here for you." I said as I kissed her forehead. She smiled at me and I kissed and kissed her again.
They changed her putting on the hospital gown too. Dr. Belle says it is time because she can see the head of the baby.
I was nervous and a little bit scared as I looked at Shana. She never even complained as I see her in pain.
"Okay, Shana you can do this. I can see the head already. More strong push." Dr. Belle said with encouragement. "Just take a deep breath and push."
Shana do as what she's been told. She pushed and pushed and pushed. I could not count how many pushes I heard. Because I could feel her squeezing my hand as she was pushing. Holding her tight as she does that.
"Don't stop just one strong push." Dr. Belle said to Shana until the doctor raised the baby. She spanked the butt then we all heard baby's cry. She gave to the nurse when her assistant spoke. She said the first baby was Baby Boy.
"D-doc, I-I think there is another one coming.," Shana said and Dr. Belle looked at Shana she was pushing again. Shana is still holding my hands. My eyes were blinking as what she just said. Do not tell me we have two babies.
Then I went back to reality focusing on Shana. I can see her trying to push again and again until then the doctor raised the baby and she did the same with the new one. They cut the cords too and gave it to the nurse. Dr. Belle announced it was a girl this time.
Another doctor replaced Dr. Bell to do something in her, down there. I did not know what but I set my eyes on Shana. Her eyes were tired I know that.
"I am very proud of you, baby. Thank you!" I kissed her forehead and she smiled at me.
Dr. Belle told me to wait for her to her room as they will finish cleaning with Shana. I came out and went to her assign room. I saw George, her best friend and Eddy inside.
"Hey, how is she? Is she okay? How's the baby?" George asked me as she got up. I can see her worried eyes but I am happy that Shana has a true friend.
"Yes, she is fine and I cannot believe we have twins." I said with wide smile. "I do know their gender boy and girl but they cleaned them first."
"Oh my gosh, she gave birth to two babies. Just like Zari and her. I knew that she was having twins because her tummy was so big. But I was so glad even it was surprisingly to us that she was having two babies." She said excitedly and laughing all the way.
Her laughed was contagious that both Eddy and me laughed. Shana decided that she do not want to know the gender until it was time because she wants to make it suspense for both of us and I agreed.
The door opened and there was Shana sleeping in the bed. Dr. Belle walked towards me as some people transferred here to another bed.
"Congratulations Colton for being a father." She said smiling at me. "Let her sleep for a while since she was very exhausted from giving birth." Dr. Belle reminded. Then the door opened and the babies were in one cart. "You two both have a boy is the eldest and the girl is the youngest."
"Wow, I cannot believe I am a father with twins." I went closer to them and they are so tiny, so cute. I cannot imagine I have babies now. I have one boy and one girl.
My friend doctor left us, we all gathered around the babies, and George could not help crying.
"Oh, my goodness, I cannot imagine two little cuties were inside Shana's body," she said wiping her tears and Eddy was comforting her. I smirked looking at them. Someone is interested to someone.
"I think I need to go now. I will buy foods we haven't had eaten since 6 in the evening." George looked at her wristwatch. "It is already nearly morning now. I will come back with the food so you could also rest." I nodded.
"Eddy, you go with George too and bring us clean clothes." I instructed him.
"Okay, boss." He replied.
After they left, the nurse came to get our babies. I was stroking Shana's face. She gave me the best gift ever.
"I love you." I whispered, holding her hand. I am also tired that I fell asleep joining her.
I woke up when Eddy came with some foods and paper bag with him.
"Sorry boss, I tried not to disturb your sleep." He apologized. "I brought you everything and George even cooked Chicken and Ginger Congee (Rice Porridge) for Shana when she wakes up."
I nodded. He took out microwave container. Then some other dishes he placed it on the table. I stood up to where he is. I am hungry since I do not have eaten anything last night.
"I should be going boss and rest." He spoke. "Do you have anything else you need?"
"No, you should rest too. I will call you if I need you." He nodded and left. Eddy goes to the same area where I am living. I gave him a condo unit in Tower 2. That's why he can easily fetch me any time unless he goes to his parents' house.
After eating and showered, changing clean clothes. I lay to the couch near Shana just in case she wakes up.
Closing my eyes and join her to sleep again.
