Alex couldn't keep the secret that she ended up telling her parents and Ralph the good news.
"That is great news " Arthur's mother cried. She was so happy.
"My children have made me a proud grandfather," his father said.
They all decided to go to Arthur and Rose's home to see them but were surprised to be told that they didn't spend the night home.
"He never misses a chance to be with her even now when she's pregnant " Sean complained.
"But we just got to know, and Arthur has the right to do anything with Rose they are married after all" Irene answered him.
Dorothy served them tea as they waited for the couple to return.
Rose noticed all the cars in front of the house and wondered why they all came to her home.
She turned to Arthur, " I think Alex and Irene couldn't keep the secret "
"You know they can't " he held her hand and walked in
"CONGRATULATIONS " they all shouted.
Arthur sulked but Rose smiled.
"Thank you so much," she said.
Ralph hugged his sister while Arthur was hugged by his parents.
"I have something else to tell you all," she said.
The room fell silent as they waited for her to speak.
"They are twins," she said.
"WHAT?!...."
Arthur's mother burst into tears as she hugged Rose again.
"That's my son " his father patted Arthur's back.
Sean fainted surprising everyone in the room.
"What's wrong with him?" Ralph laughed.
"He always acts like a fool" Arthur commented.
Irene pushed Sean aside, as they talked about how happy and fascinating it was to have twins.
Sean opened his eyes, he was alone on the couch with nobody around. But heard voices outside the terrace.
Ralph was holding the baby when he saw Sean walk out the door.
"You awake " Ralph laughed.
Rose smiled but Irene hit Sean's head.
"What did I do now?" he cried.
"You don't even remember fainting like a fool after Rose told us she was having twins " Irene yelled at him.
"Am sorry but I was so surprised by the news " Sean defended himself.
"Thank you Sean " Rose passed him a plate of watermelons.
Sean later left for the company since Arthur needed him there.
"Did you get a name yet?" Irene asked.
Rose glared at her.
Laughing, Ralph gave the baby to his mother.
"Giving my sister such a hard task will take time to be done. let's just name him ourselves " he said.
"No. I don't care if it takes a while Rose has to name him " Alex stated.
"Okay," Irene smiled.
"I promise I will " Rose said.
She had been occupied with different things that she had not got any suitable name for him.
"Am going upstairs to think about that name you guys can stay here " Rose got up and left.
Ralph and Alex soon left to leaving Irene behind.
She walked to Rose's room and knocked.
"Come in "
She walked in and sat next to Rose on the couch.
"The others left?" Rose asked.
"Yeah, and since am free today I decided to come up and keep you company, " Irene said.
She helped Rose search for a good name but none pleased her.
"What happened that day?" Irene finally asked Rose.
Rose knowing what she meant looked at her friend.
" I just got frightened by what I saw and my brain shut down. All I wanted to do was get away and think "
"He was hurt I saw it in his eyes and the behaviors he depicted scared me, " Irene told Rose.
"I didn't mean too I was just confused but I realized it later that I might have hurt him "
"You sure did, you keep hurting him over and over again but he keeps loving you even more "
"I know and it's time I stopped acting immaturely and be his wife. Am becoming a mother again which even increases my responsibilities "
"Am happy you guys always fight for your love and I hope you get even stronger " said Irene.
"Enough about me, how are you doing with Sean?" Rose asked.
"I don't even know what to tell you, sometimes I think he loves me but I feel like something is missing," She said.
"He will figure it out don't worry "
After taking a break they resumed looking for a name for the baby.
"Calvin is a nice name, " Rose finally said.
"I once had a boyfriend by that name, he was ll handsome, sexy, and..." Irene wanted to continue but Rose cut her off.
"Okay, I get it. Calvin is a nice name," she said.
She called Alex, " I could not wait since I delayed getting one," she said.
"So what name is it?" Alex asked.
"It's not a special name but I just love the way it sounds "
"Okay, I will like any name you decide"
"Calvin," she said.
There was silence on the other side of the phone.
"Hello, Alex you didn't like the name?" Rose worried.
"No, I loved it but am surprised you choose that. It was the name I had chosen before I told you to get one " she said.
Rose was happy to hear what Alex said.
"Let me call Ralph and tell him," Alex said before she hung up.
"Since we are done with that let's make a baby list for your twins " Irene jumped in excitement.
"Okay ".
The rest of the afternoon was spent making plans for the upcoming twins.
They laughed and had fun as they made lists of baby things.
