“Sorry, my love. Just a little more while and we will have them in our arms. You have done so well and I’m really proud of you.”
“Are you craving anything? I can make it for you and spend time with you.”
“You’ve been truly supportive. I feel I nag a lot, get too cranky, and also get on your nerves. I’m sorry for always nagging like a bitch. I honestly don’t deserve you.”
“Honey….” He cupped her face in his hands. “Please don’t speak that way. You are doing so much by carrying our boys and I’ll do all I can to support you till the very end. I know I can’t feel the discomfort you are feeling but I’ll try my best to make sure you are happy and that you feel good.”
“You are not in any way being bitchy to me. I understand that You need your rest and the boys want to play. You are doing so much already by having them in your womb. Then the least I can do is to be here for you.”
“But if you attend to me, what about your work? You are meant to be in Germany but you didn’t go because of me and yet I’ve been disturbing you.” She said, looking at him with guilty eyes.
“You’ve got nothing to feel guilty about, Babe. If I choose to retire today. Our children’s children would still have so much to benefit from.”
“Yes, I’m meant to be in Germany but the board knows I’m on maternity leave with my wife. I have people taking care of all I need to do so there is nothing to worry about.”
“I shouldn’t be here. I came down here to send an urgent email but I’m done. You should have called me and I would have carried you downstairs or brought you food. I don’t want you stressing yourself.”
“You do so much for me. Besides, I happily took the stairs. Anything to enhance the boys to come faster.”
“We all want them out so bad but are you sure you are not going to miss them in you?”
She shook her head. “I don’t know. Maybe and maybe not.”
“They only have a little time left to spend in your belly so let’s cherish the moment.”
“And I’ve always told you, you don’t have to feel Indebted to me as though I’m doing you a favor. We are in this together and I made you a promise to love and cherish you at all times.”
“I missed so much with Sophie and I don’t want to make that mistake anymore.”
“What will I do without You?” She pouted.
“I don’t think I can do without you either. That’s why we are a couple. To compliment each other and to take care of each other.”
“We are going to make the best out of life together, okay?”
She nodded.
“Let’s go get you something to eat.” Placing a k**s on Vicky’s cheek, Oscar placed an arm on the small of Victoria’s back and ushered her out of the home office to the living area. He made her sit comfortably on the couch after which he came back in a few minutes with sandwiches and some ice cream.
Vicky took three bites from the sandwich and decided she was done. Oscar served her some ice cream which she seemed to be enjoying.
Oscar happily watched her eat and once she was done having her ice cream, he cleared the place.
Coming back, he cuddled next to Vee on the chair, extending the blanket she had over her body to his body.
His hand went to her belly and he smiled when he felt no movement. The twins had calmed down a bit.
“Do you think they were being naughty to you because they miss their big sister? Sophie would always sing and read to them every night. They probably know their big sister isn’t here so they were being all fussy.”
Vicky smiled. “You’re right. They miss her. But I’m glad they are calm now.” “Me too. I don’t like it when you are sad or worried.”
“I wasn’t sad or worried. I just felt so exhausted. My body was tired and I needed to sleep so badly.”
“You’re a strong woman.”
“I’m only able to go through this because I have you and Sophie. You both take care of me real good.”
“At some point, I was battling with my confidence about looking like a whale but the way you always look at me filled my heart with so much joy.”
“You are so far from looking like a whale, my love. If there’s anything, you are even more attractive than I’ve ever known you.”
“You can’t take your eyes and hands off me. Even up to this morning. That made me realize.”
“I love you and I will do anything for you,” Oscar said, k**sing her cheek. “I love you too,” she said, yawning.
“Let’s get you to bed.” Oscar rose to his feet, picked up his wife in a bridal style, and carried her to the room. He tucked her in, then undressed and got under the duvet, cuddling her to sleep.
Oscar had no idea how long he slept for. But he knew he was enjoying his sleep when he felt a nudge by his arm.
“Hmmm!” He answered, half awake.
“I peed on myself.”
“What do you mean?” He mumbled, still with closed eyes.
“Or maybe my water broke. I don’t know. I feel so much pain.” This time around, Oscar heard her crying voice loud and clear. His eyes flew open and he literally jumped down from the bed, forgetting any form of tiredness he was feeling.
Oscar reached for the clothes he discarded earlier and wore them back as fast as he could. He went over to the nightstand and picked up his phone and car keys. He tucked his phone in his pocket but still held onto the car keys. He rushed over to where Vicky was, lifted her from the bed, and carried her out of the room in a bridal style while saying soothing words to keep her calm.
He placed her in the car, buckled her up then went over to the driver’s seat, driving as fast as he could with a very nervous mind. Since it was midnight, the roads were free but Oscar didn’t bother to obey any of the traffic lights.
After what felt like forever, he got to the hospital and the nurses assisted in taking Vicky in after which the Doctor attended to her and they started preparing the labor room for the delivery of the twins.
From that moment, Oscar was no longer in control of himself. He had prepared for this day mentally, physically, and in any other way possible. But now that the time was here, he honestly had no idea what he was doing or how he was feeling.
Vicky was eventually fully dilated and was moved to the labor room. According to the Doctor, the twins were ready to be out and Oscar was given an overall to change into since he wanted to be there with his wife.
With shaky hands, he accepted the overall, properly washed and sanitized his hands before he was given access to the room.
“You can do this, Mr Wayde. Your baby girl needs you now more than ever. Go on.” Dr Natalie encouraged, before going to join the rest of the team.
Oscar nodded, approaching Vicky. His heart went out to her. Her hair was messy, despite how cool the room was, she was sweaty and was in so much pain.
Oscar k**sed her cheek, then went ahead to intertwine his hands with hers.
Since Oscar was on her right-hand side, Dr Natalie approached Vee on the left-hand side.
“Hey mama, I’m so proud of you. Just a couple of pushes and your little angels will be here Take in a number of breaths, just as we’ve been practicing and then you give us a very big push, okay?”
Vee nodded.
“Thank you.” Dr Natty smiled at her and then went to join the rest of the team.
“You can do it, my love. Hold my hands as tight as you can and let’s push together.”
Just after a couple of pushes, the room was filled with a very loud cry. Oscar burst into tears immediately, crying along with his newborn. He didn’t want to let go of Vicky but he was asked to come and cut the cord so he did that crying, with shaky hands, and then went back to his wife. He k**sed her forehead, before going back to holding her hands.
“He’s so perfect. More than we imagined him to be. You can do this baby. Just a few more pushes and his brother will be here too.”
Vicky gave her all and in three minutes, baby number two was out. The cry was even louder than that of baby number one.
“Thank you, God ” Vee mumbled,with tears in her eyes as her head rested on the pillow.
