I stared at my beautiful babies. They looked soo peaceful as they slept. I took out my phone and snapped a picture of them,sending it to their uncle immediately. I just couldn't believe I was carrying twins. I smiled to myself. They are my everything. Now I have Gladilous, grandma Olivia and my babies. My life is complete. Though there is no father around, I believe that I will be a good mother.
"You are awake" Honey said with a smile. "Your babies are cute. What are you going to name them?"she asked. I looked at my children and smiled.
"Zachary and Zoe "I answered. Honey just nodded.
"Any way since you are a new mother, Luke and I have decided to let you stay with us for at least a month. Also, to prevent Mark from haunting you again, we have decided to employ you here as a receptionist. What do you think?"she asked. It's true that Mark sometimes comes to my workplace to mock and try to lure me but still.
"Oh Honey, you know you shouldn't have done that. I don't want to cause any problems in your marriage. See what happened in As.."
"Sarah, it's a command"she said cutting me short. "You know that you deserve it
Though I've not known you for long, I know that Mark was telling lies. Don't worry okay " she comforted.
I knew I couldn't say no. After all, in case of anything, I will go back to my apartment. I was discharged shortly after and lived in Luke's house. One thing I realized was that, Zoe loves breast milk more than Zachary. Whenever I breastfeed them,I feel happy and special.
They were growing too fast. I can stare at them and feel as though, I only gave birth to them yesterday. But they are 3 years now. We only stayed at Luke's place for 3 months. Nothing happened but I didn't want to be a burden on them. In just a matter of 3 and a half years, my life has changed. I don't regret ever giving birth to Zachary and Zoe. But I realised something. As they grew, I realised that Zachary looks like someone I know. Zoe was the exact photocopy of me except her black eyes. I tried to remember who but I couldn't place my hand on anyone. I just shrugged the feeling off. Maybe when they grow I'll find the person.
Working in the hospital helped me. My salary was good and I was able to care for my children and even Gladilous and Grandma Olivia. I'll will visit them soon. Very soon.
