Xavier’s POV
We went to the small park and sat down there, I gently pushed her from behind so she swings to and fro on the swing, we didn’t say anything just silent, a peaceful one.
We admired the moon and the stars together, ever since we got pregnant we haven’t had time like this to ourselves to see these simple things or admire them, we stayed like this till Jessica broke the silent.
“Do you think she is telling the truth?”
“Who?”
“Laura, do you believe her when she said it isn’t painful?”
“Well I believe her, she is a woman so she probably knows her body more than anyone”
“I think she is lying, I noticed it when she stood up to walk, her gait was different ”
“She just gave birth of course it will be”
“Xavier, if I wanted a cesarean session to give birth, will you let me?”
“Is that what you want?”
“Yes, I think it will be painful, having two kids at the same thing and I don’t do well with pain so am doing a cesarean ”
“Baby listen, as long as it’s what you want, I won’t stop angel, do whatever makes you comfortable I will be in support ”
“And since we had twins, can we stop having children? Not that I don’t like them, I just think that it…”
“Shhhhh, baby whether you have given birth or not I will still love you okay, if you want us to have two only then I will make sure if it”
“Really?”
“Yes, really ”
“Thank you so much Xavier, I know am being selfish and all but thank you ”
“Babe you aren’t selfish, I understand you because I feel the same way about this so it’s okay”
She hugged me tightly, I kissed the top of her head and patted her shoulders in gently.
It has been four months since Laura gave birth and she and her child are both doing well, she has resumes working too, that lady is something else, meanwhile we are getting ready to welcome our kids into our household, we have prepared their room, a big bed that can fit four kids at the same time so they have spaces where they can crawl if they want to.
Baby’s jungles and toys filled in the room, almost everything in here was gotten by grandfather, we had to keep some in their box because it was too much, we already told the doctor’s our decision concerning the surgery, we already fixed a date which is tomorrow, Jessica’s tummy has gotten quite big, the doctor once joked that he wouldn’t be surprised if a third or fourth child pops out after everything, we agreed that he should make the cesarean scar as light as possible.
Not that we are embarrassed or anything just our choice that we don’t really want any scars, the ones she gotten over the years she lived is enough, no more.
“Baby, are you all packed for tomorrow?”
“Yes, I have prepared everything I and the babies will need at the hospital , you?”
“Me? I think am ready, I can’t believe we are going to be parents starting tomorrow ”
“Same here Xavier, it’s really hard even though am the one pregnant ”
“I just hope they take after you because of they are anything like me then that’s trouble”
“Why do you say so? You are adorable, I would want them to take after you ”
” Nay, am adorable only in your eyes but am stubborn and strong headed”
“Well I still want them to take after you especially your height ”
“But I like your height, it’s meant for me, well I will like a mini you too, running around here”
“Me too, let’s hope the girl looks like me and the boy looks like you”
“And have your character, both of them”
“Okay then, if you say so but I want them strong willed like you”
“You are strong willed look at what happened so far in your life, you are strong baby okay”
“Okay”
“Now let’s sleep we have a long day ahead tomorrow okay, goodnight and sweet dreams ”
“Same Xav”
We went to sleep but I couldn’t sleep, I was thinking about tomorrow and how it will go, the doctor assured us that it wouldn’t be hard because both mother and child is in good health and I can stay there to observe as long as I don’t distract them or interrupt, I agreed immediately because I will like to be with her always.
The next day, we all prepared, she didn’t eat or drink anything, once we were done, the driver drove us because I couldn’t trust myself with a wheel right now, Jessica was chatting all the way to the hospital, I feel it’s her own way of coping so I listened and put in when I can, we arrived at the hospital and as usual we were using a VIP and the doctor taht should be performing the surgery as already arrived, they were setting things up for the surgery.
Grandfather and Aunt aren’t aware of it yet, we wanted to tell them after, am kind of scared grandfather wouldn’t agree with her decision to give birth with a cesarean because grandfather is very traditional and I don’t want him to mistakenly say something that will upset Jessica and in turn upset them and I do something we all will regret later, as for Aunt, she knowing might make us nervous, we don’t need anything that will add to the cold feet (literally, my hands and feet tend to get very cold when am nervous) and hands am getting , myself is enough for me.
They finished the whole preparation and then it came to mine and Jessica’s, they didn’t waste time, in a few minutes they are fine and we were taken into the surgery room, Jessica was wheeled in, I can see the relief in her eyes once she saw me going in with her, I need the necessary things required before going into the room, once she was sedated, the surgery officially started.
