The hospital room was filled with a calm, warm light as Adrian cradled the tiny figures of his newborns in his arms. Ethan sat beside him, his heart swelling with emotions he had never fully realized until this moment. The little boy was snugly wrapped in soft blue blankets, and the little girl lay peacefully next to him in soft pink, both of them perfect.
Adrian gazed down at the twins, his heart full to the brim. He felt like he could drown in the love that surged through him for these two little lives. He turned to Ethan, his eyes shimmering with unshed tears.
"What do you think we should name them?" Adrian whispered, his voice hoarse from exhaustion but filled with warmth.
Ethan reached out, gently brushing his fingers across the boy's cheek, then the girl's. He smiled softly. "I've been thinking about it… how about Aurelius for our son? It means 'the golden one,' someone destined for greatness."
