Author's pov…
Rivelda stood by the glass door looking at her 5 year old kids playing in the yard, she had tears in her eyes as she admired them.
She kept sipping her hot coffee and wondering how her life had a 360 decree turn, and also her sister now had another son making her to have Irish twins cause she gave birth the same year she had Emily.
In the past the life she led was a horrible nightmare, and when she married Leandro it wasn't any much better. But after staying with him for long, she found out he was a complete sweetheart and we now had twins.
And not only that another one was on the way.
"Wifey what are you thinking about" leandro said as he hugged her from behind.
"Well am just shocked how we became happy after all the struggles" she commented as she turned to face him with a smile.
Leandro looked through the yard, then he brought back his gaze to his wife.
He kissed her forehead, but then something was unusual with her face.
Her gaze was down and she kept fidgeting her fingers as she bit her lower lip.
"what is bothering you principessa" he asked in a caring tone.
Rivelda was so excited to spill the beans but she had to have a little fun. She stepped away from his arms and created a
good distance between them, then she smirked.
Leandro looked at her confused, she stood there smirking.
At first he thought he was in trouble then her actions said otherwise. Rivelda made her way to the glass door, then looked at Leandro…
"Children your sister is kicking" she screamed causing them to stop and turn to look at her.
Leandro looked confused then it all made sense and he asked in disbelief "you're pregnant" he breathed out.
She blushed hard and he knew the answer. Leo and Leona ran to her as Leandro picked her up and twirled her around.
"we have more company" all three of them shouted in happiness.
Rivelda…
I was so happy with their reaction as I told them about the incoming baby.
After we had dinner, Leandro tucked the twins to sleep while I got dressed for the night.
I laid on the bed staring at the ceiling when Leandro entered the room fully changed and laid beside me.
"When did you find out" he asked pulling me into his arms.
I kissed his cheek and said "about two days ago. And when I went to the hospital yesterday they told me I was three months pregnant".
He spread his eyes wide at my revelation. The truth is I too didn't know or feel I was pregnant till when I started vomiting a couple of days ago, and Lilly suggested I should test.
"my mom and your mom said we should bring the kids for dinner tomorrow" he said while hugging me tightly.
Those women have been overdoing their grandma role towards Leo.
And both Leona and Emily are being spoiled by Leandro's father.
I nodded then closed my eyes cause I am mentally and physically exhausted.

"Grandmas" Leo ran to hug them, while Emily and Leona met their grandpa shouting "Big d".
They don't like to call him grandpa cause they say he still looks young.
"No hugs for grandma" my mom said pouting as Leandro's mom did the same. They ran and hugged them while Leo and Derrick went to meet Leandro's dad.
"grandpa let's do arm wrestling" they both said with a grin, both Lilly and I looked at eachother then laughed hard.
"Mom, dad what about us" me and Lilly complained, they hissed and in chorus they said "You're too old have some shame" and with that they continued with their grandchildren.
Kass and Leandro rolled their eyes then went to sit at the table.
We all joined them later, the Christmas eve dinner was a blast.
Well the children were busy with their grandparents and Lilly and Kass were doing well you know…
Then I announced my pregnancy and the gender, everyone was happy and shouting.
"Aunt Rivy" Derrick called and we all turned to him.
"well if the girl is born can she be my darwing" he asked shyly.
Lilly quickly covered his mouth and let out a nervous laugh while Leandro and Kass glared at eachother then shouted "absolutely not".
We all erupted into laughter and I asked him "who taught you to say darling" and he pointed to Lilly.
"what. He's talking nonsense ignore him" she said nervously as Kass and Leandro glared at her.
When we went back home, Leandro turned to me with a smile "thank you for never giving up on me".
I was touched and I hugged him back and whispered "well you never gave up on me too".
We pulled away then he cupped my cheek and I said "I love you", he chuckled "I love you more principessa" and with that he kissed me.
The kissed was sparkling and breathtaking, then I knew then and there that I have finally found true happiness and peace.
I became grateful for all the struggles that led to this and I won't ever wish to change anything cause this is my home.
