(Nikki P. O. V)
After putting a blindfold on my eyes, Cole helped me stand up from the bed and led me to where my surprise is waiting for me. After walking for a few minutes, we stopped, and I heard him open the door of another room and lead me inside the room. Then I feel him remove the blindfold from my eyes.
I open my eyes to see a beautiful nursery room in front of my eyes. The walls were decorated with light blue colors, and many different cartoons and animes like the cartoons of a power ranger, the mini-adventures of Winnie The Pooh, Nobody, Yona in the Dawn, etc.
There is a bathroom on the right side of my hand; besides that, there is a huge closet, divided into three- sections. One section is for toys; another is for all baby products like baby soap, shampoo, oil, lotion, diapers, and food product, and the last one is for clothes and accessories.
There is an L-size Couch in front of me, filled with soft pillows and soft toys. There is a small self over the table with some of our photos and books between empty photo frames. When I asked Cole about empty photo frames, he said they are empty because he decided to keep the twins’ photos when they come into this world. Beside the Couch, there is a balcony.
When I walked towards the balcony, I felt something soft under my feet and saw grass under my feet.
“I have specially ordered this grass carpet for our nursery room, one week before our appointment with the doctor. The softness of the grass felt real, but it was fake grass, so we did not have to worry about getting the floor dirty or getting grass squished under our feet. And that’s not it,” Cole said to me and walked backward and closed the lights. Then he signals me to look upwards, and when I look up, I feel like I am standing in the open field under the sparkling stars; The ceilis decorated with artificial sparkling stars and moon.
“When did you start preparing this room?” I ask him in awe.
“Since you told me that you are pregnant, I started planning for this room,” he said while hugging me from behind.
“And that is not it. There are two secret doors in this room. One door is on the left-hand side, which opens directly to our room,” Cole said and led me to the left-hand side self, which is decorated with books, toys, photos, albums, and whatnot. Cole puts his finger on the red button, and the wall is divided into two parts and gives us a way to pass through it, and we enter our room directly.
“Does it open from both sides?” I ask him.
“Yes, come, I will show you,” Cole said and showed me the button and the wall divided into two parts, and we entered the nursery room.
“Now I know why you made us sleep in the guest room and didn’t allow me to enter this room for three days because you were installing this function, right?” I asked with a smile on my face, and he answered me with a smile.
“What about another secret door?” I ask him.
“Another is inside the closet. I will show it to you when we come home after your delivery,”
“But what if someone knows about it and uses it? Won’t it put kids and all of us in danger?” I ask, feeling anxious.
“Don’t worry. I have put the biometric system in it. It will only recognize the fingertip of the registered family member and allow them to pass through it. Other people than family members who use it will get paralyzed due to Emma’s spell put on it. So we don’t have to worry about it.”
“Now, let’s stop worrying about it and explore the rest of the nursery room,” Cole said and led to outside on the balcony. The balcony is very spacious, and we can see the whole garden and training ground from here. The children can run and play in it since the metal bar surrounds the balcony, so we don’t have to worry about the toddlers falling from the balcony. There are also some tables and chairs and a swing on the terrace; so that we can enjoy some fresh air while having some tea.
After sometimes resting on the balcony, I walk inside the room. There is a table with lots of soft toys, a music system, and a TV over it near the entrance door of the room. When I asked Cole why he put a music system in the nursery room, Cole said that he had read in the book that soft music helps children fall asleep quickly, and that why he decided to put one there.
“So do you like my surprise?” Cole asks me.
“I love it, and I know the twins going to love their room too,” I said while smiling and caressing my baby bump.
“Since I have taken a few days off, how about we go to the mall to do some shopping for the necessities like baby products and other things, and we can go shopping for their clothes and other things when we find out about their gender?.” he asks me.
“Sure, but can we eat something first? I am hungry,” I said to him while pouting at him.
“But, you had your breakfast just an hour ago,” Cole said, looking shocked at me.
“Don’t look at me like that, Cole. I was eating for three people now. Am I not allowed to eat food now when I am hungry?” I ask while feeling my eyes with tears.
“No, no, that’s not what I mean by it. I was just worried about your health. I don’t want you to get a stomach ache because of eating so much. Anyway, what do you want to eat?” He asks me.
“Nutella and cheese sandwich,” I said while wiping tears from my face.
“Okay, but first, let’s go to our room. You must be tired after walking so much. I will tell Omega to bring it to your room,” Cole said and led me to our room. After some time, Omega comes with a food tray containing a sandwich and a fruit salad mixed with yogurt. After finishing my food, I get back to sleep, and this time Cole also joins me in bed.
After some hours, Mom comes to wake us up for lunch, and we all go to the dining room to have lunch. After lunch, we change our clothes and walk to the garage, and then I remember that we don’t have a list of the things we need and want to buy for the kids.
“Cole, we forgot to prepare the list of the things we need and want to buy for babies,” I said while panicking.
“Hey, relax, I have a list that mom prepared for shopping when she was pregnant for Stella and me if we can come and buy it when we go shopping again when we find out the baby’s gender,” he said, I nodded my head and then helped me to get inside the car. We spend the whole day shopping and arranging things in the nursery room.
