*** SKYLAR'S POV

I stood and began to pace to and fro unable to keep sitting. The wait was getting frustrating.
I stop in my tracks and stare at the door. Should I leave?
I bit my lip.
Yea, maybe I should. Cam doesn't even know I left the house.
Yea, I should go. He must be freaking out . The moment I took a step forward, the door burst open and the doctor stepped in.
I sigh.
"Hello Mrs Knight. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting" she says cheerfully walking over to her desk and shrugging off her coat, placing it on her seat.
"It's fine" I mumble.
"How are you doing? Is everything okay? Your next appointment isn't until two weeks from now right?"
"Yes..uh..I'm fine.. I'm Here for something else actually"
Great now what do I say? That one moment I was in the kitchen trying to find some cereal to eat and then the next thing I knew, I was in the living room, grabbing my purse and leaving the house to hail a cab to the hospital and have an ultrasound because I suddenly felt my belly was too big at just six months? Great Sky.
"Uh...I came for an ultrasound" I finally say.
"Oh....very well then...please come with me. Are you here with anyone?" She asks gathering her files as she gets up.
I shake my head.
"Okay

. Please follow me".
I obliged, following her out of the office and into another room down by the hall away from the patient's ward.
"Please have a seat. A doctor will be with you soon" and she left, shutting the door behind, silence engulfing me once more.
I sigh, guess I have to wait.  I'm already here, better get it over and done with. My phone rang and I quickly pulled it out of my bag, answering.
"Hello?"
"Hello Sky? Is everything okay? You didn't show up today"
I pull the phone away to stare at the called ID. Oh great, it was my colleague from the culinary school I'd started barely three months ago.
"Everything is fine Tasha. I just had a doctor's appointment" I lie. Well, half-life.
"Oh...well, I recorded today's class. I also have the recipe for the éclairs we made today. I could forward them to you if you want"
I smile.
"Thank you Tasha. I'll be very happy if you forward them..." The door burst open as a doctor walks in.
"Uh..I got to go. The doctor just arrived. Talk to you later yh?"
"Sure. Call me after"
I hang up, putting it on silent mode before shoving it into my bag.
"Hello, I'm doctor Grace and I'll be taking you through the ultrasound" 
"Hello, I'm Skylar"
"Alright Skylar, shall we get started?"
Before long, I was lying on my back on a bed, with my top pulled up revealing my huge belly. I chew on my lips as the doctor squirts a cool liquid on my belly. Next, she grabs a certain device and places it on my belly, and then begins to move it in slow circles. On the screen, I noticed it. Curled up in a foetal position.
"There are your babies Skylar"
I blink. What?
"What?"
I look at the doctor to find her pointing at the screen. I turn, noticing it. It wasn't just one. Two. There were two babies. My God. I'm having twins.
"Oh...oh my God... I'm having twins.. I'm having twins.. Oh God" emotions overwhelm me.
"Are you okay? Would you like some water?" Dr Grace asks me.
"No..I'm fine..I..just...okay, f*ck!" My eyes widen
"Sh*t sorry my loves...mummy didn't mean to curse in front of you" I pat my belly. I look at the doctor who was grinning.
"Okay, I think I'm freaking out. Water will definitely be good"
Nodding, she walks out and returns almost immediately with a glass of water. Thanking her, I take it from her and chug the entire glass down.
"Would you like to have the sonogram photos printed out?" 
"Yes.. I'd really like that" I answer in a heartbeat. I came here without telling my husband, I think it's fair I brought him some pictures.

****
When I got back to the penthouse, almost everyone was gathered in the living room. By everyone, I meant Julian, Marie, my mother in-law and dad. Cameron was pacing to and fro, talking to someone on the phone. Nope. Actually, he was doing less talking and more shouting and he looked quite agitated.
"What do you mean you couldn't find her?! What do I pay you for? I swear to God..." He stops when he sights me standing by the door. Relief washes over his face as he visibly relaxes.
"Princess" he breathes and rushes to me, gathering me in his arms.
"You're safe...I was going crazy when I came home to find the kitchen in a mess and you were no where to be found. I thought the worst." He pulls away and let's his eyes roam over my body.
"Are you hurt? Tell me love"
I don't say a word, instead I hug him again burying my face in his chest. He tenses.
"What's wrong princess? Why are you quiet?" He pats my hair softly and I sigh, leaning further into him.
"I was at the hospital" I mumble.
"Hospital?! Skylar you were at the hospital?!" He pulls away again, horror in his eyes.
"No no, it's not what you think" I say quickly before he could start imagining the worst.
"I'm fine...I just went for an ultrasound.. I'm sorry I told no one..it was spontaneous. One moment I was in the kitchen trying to find something to eat because I was hungry and the next I was in a taxi going to the hospital"
"You haven't eaten? Jesus Sky, what's wrong with you? It's half past six!" Cameron scolds, running a hand through his hair.
I bite my lip, tears beginning to well in my ears. These pregnant hormones are just too much. I end up crying at the tiniest of things.
"I'm..I'm sorry" my voice cracks.
Cameron cups my face, concern swirling in his features.
"I didn't mean to scold you princess. Come, have a seat. I'll order something to eat then you can tell me what happened at the hospital yeah?"
I nod and he leads me to the couch.
"No...I'll just fix you guys something to eat" my mother in-law offers. Now I feel bad.
"No mother. Don't bother. I'll just order food for everyone. It's fine"
"Count us out. We're going out for dinner" Julian speaks up and that's when I notice he was all dressed up with Marie by his side. She comes up to me and gives me a hug.
"I'm glad you're okay"
"Thanks Marie. Get going now and make sure to bring me good news hmm?" I wink gesturing to her ring finger and she blushes.
"Let's hope so. Bye!" She calls out as they walk out hand in hand. I turn to face my husband. He'd just finished ordering pizza and was putting his phone away.
"Where's Sean?"
"He's in his room" he takes my hand in his.
"Now tell me why you were at the hospital".
Slowly, I pull my hand away from his, reach into my purse and pull out the brown envelope then hand it to him.
"Open it"
Wordlessly, he does so and looks through the black and white photos in confusion.
"What's this? And why are each photo labelled A and B?"
"Photo A stands for baby A and photo B stands for baby B"
"Baby A? Baby B?" Obviously he still didn't get it. I watch him stare at the photos for a while longer until recognition flashes in his eyes and his eyes settle on my belly.
"Baby A and baby B? Meaning....meaning two? Like twins? We're having twins?" His eyes were wider than mine had been when I found out.
I nod.
"We're having twins Cam"
It was comical, really. Watching his expression morph from excitement to shock then surprise then horror and excitement again. I couldn't help the giggle that escaped my lips.
"Say something Cameron" I say when he sat there, open mouthed, not uttering a single word.
"F*ck!" He blurts out suddenly and I glance at my dad and mother in-law just in time to see them wince at the use of a cuss word.
"We're having twins? Damn baby, I f*cking love you" he pulls me to him, peppering my face with kisses.
I giggle
"You make me so happy love. So happy. You're so amazing"
"Congratulations little one" dad gets up smiling widely.
"Dad, I'm no longer little" 
"You'll always be my little one" I roll my eyes at that.
"Congratulations Sky"
"Thanks mother"
"Oh dear..I can't wait to have two babies running around...." Her eyes lit as she begins to rant on and on about how she's going to dress the babies and take them for walks..
Just then, Sean decides to grace us with his presence, literally hoping into the room.
"No jumping" i scold
He stops in front of me, smiling.
"Sorry mom" His eyes rest on my belly and then he frowns.
"When is the baby going to come out mom?"
"Very soon baby"
"But it's been soooo long. Can't they just come out already?" he whines. I laugh with a shake of my head.
"It doesn't work that way honey. We have to wait a little bit longer."
"Hmm" he nods
"I'm hungry" he blurts out after a while. Right on cue, the doorbell rang.
"That must be the pizza guy" I say as Cameron gets up to answer the door.
"I love pizza" Sean licks his lips and I chuckle. Cameron returns with four boxes of pizza.
"I'll get the plates" I volunteer.
"No! You, sit. Don't move an inch" Cameron says and I roll my eyes. I was so tempted. To remind him I was pregnant and not crippled. But of course, it'll start an argument. So instead, I remain quite as he sets the table while Sean brings in the plates.
When he was done, he came over to me and helped me up.
"You know I can get up on my own" I mutter.
"But I could get used to this attention I'm getting from my lovely husband" I add with a grin, settling in the chair, filling my plate with three slices of pizza.
"I'm lovely aren't I?" Cameron smirks sliding into the seat next to me.
"So cocky." I roll my eyes, pouring myself a glass of juice.
"Yet you love me" he winks.
"Stop flirting!" I swat his hand that was making it's way towards my thigh.
"I can't resist you love"
From of the conner of my eye I notice my mother in-law blushing, obviously embarrassed at our PDA.
Rolling my eyes, I grab a slice of pepperoni pizza and take a huge bite.
"Roll your eyes at me once more princess, and I'll drag you into the kitchen and take you with our family right outside eating. And I'll have you a moaning mess" he whispers so lowly I'm not sure anyone else heard.
My eyes widen as I gasp slightly, the pizza almost spluttering out of my mouth. I swear I will never get used to his vulgar mouth.
I shut my mouth after, unable to come up with a perfect comeback, images of Cameron making love to me filling my head.
I lift my eyes to see him smirking smugly at me. He winks.
Of course he knows what I'm thinking.
"I hate you" I whisper.
"I know. I love you too"
Damn this man.

***
THREE MONTHS LATER.

"Cameron!"
"Yes love?" He stares at me, lying casually on the bed, his arms behind his head. He was smiling.
"This is not funny!" I snap.
"I know. You're adorable"
"Come on Cam, tell me what to wear. Help me here" I pout, staring at the pile of clothes I'd scattered all over the bed.
Cameron had asked me to get ready because he had a surprise in store for me. A surprise he wouldn't give me a hint to and now that I'm desperately searching for a dress that doesn't make me look like a whale, I can't seem to find one. All these clothes are too tight. I bite my nails in frustration.
"None of these clothes fit me Cam, I'm so big now, nothing fits me!" I cry out in exasperation, stomping my feet for effect.
Dramatic, I know. That's me.
My husband sighs, finally getting off the bed and walks up to me, cupping my face.
"Hey, you look beautiful. You do not believe me do you? Come" he leads me towards the mirror. Standing behind me, he wraps his arms around my belly, kissing my neck.
"Just look at your reflection and tell me you don't look beautiful. You look beautiful, gorgeous and you know something, I could never thank you enough for carrying our babies. I love you"
I sigh. Sometimes he just knows the right things to say to calm me down. We continued to stand for a while longer when suddenly I felt something wet trickling down my legs. I look down.
What the hell.. Since when do I pee and not feel it? Granted, pregnancy made me pee almost every damn hour but at least I felt the urge and rushed to the nearest washroom so why....
My breath hitched.
F*ck....
"Cameron..." I say slowly, trying not to panic.
"Yes?" He nips at my earlobe. No time for romance buddy!
"Get...get the things...the stuff..the babies stuff" I crouch slightly, feeling the cramps.
It wasn't painful but it was there. A few minutes from now and I'll be screaming my head off.
"The babies stuff? But.."
"Get the f*cking stuff Cameron! My water just broke!" I shut my eyes, taking in deep breaths.
Cameron tenses behind me.
"W...what..your water broke? You having the babies now?"
"No! I'm having them on Christmas day! Get me to the damn hospital!" I can't help but snap.
"Right.. Right...yes..umm..the stuff....yep the stuff" he mumbles as he rushes out of the room to get the things. In another situation, I would have had a field day laughing at him, but I couldn't because even I am freaking out.
Cameron returns a few seconds later with two bags slung on one shoulder and talking loudly with someone, I presume is his mother through an earpiece.
Several minutes later when I was finally in the car, the pain hit me. Crouching lower in my seat, I let out a groan gripping the dashboard for dear life. Oh God..
"Cameron... Cameron it hurts...drive faster please" I wheeze out.
"Hang on princess.. Please hang on. We're almost there" he assures but I couldn't be fooled.. He was freaking out. It was evident in his voice and from the way he kept glancing at me anytime I screamed out.
I try to keep calm, taking In deep breaths just like I did when I was pregnant with Sean but f*ck this is so much more painful. With Sean, I passed out most of the time and woke up after they'd performed caesarian section on me. But this, this was going to be my first natural birth and I feel like sh*t, for lack of better words.
"Cameron...please...drive faster, please" my voice cracks, tears blinding my vision.
"We're here princess.. We're here" I caught a glimpse of the hospital as Cameron drove into the compound, blocking the entrance totally. Nurses came scrambling out wheeling a wheelchair. I was helped out of a wheelchair and wheeled inside. Everything was a blur after that. I couldn't think. Not even when the doctor asked me to walk around for a while because I wasn't dilated enough. Cameron held me in his arms all along, helping me walk until my legs felt too heavy to be moved and my contraction was getting frequent.
"Cameron please...I can't... I can't keep walking.. Please, it hurts please" I grip his collar so hard I'm sure I was strangling him. Cameron stares at me, eyes filled with pain.
My legs finally gave out under me and I almost fell, thanking God for the strong arms that secured me.
"Hey you! How long do you want my wife to keep up with this stupid exercise? Can't you see she's in pain?! Get your f*cking asses moving and help us!" Cameron bellows.

***
Before long, I was on a bed in the labour room, legs spread.
"Sir, if you'll like to stay then please go put on protective clothing" a nurse tells my husband..
"Uh okay...."
"You'll be back won't you? Promise me"
He bends to kiss my forehead.
"I promise. I'll be back"
True to his words, he returned with the protective clothing on and a headnet.
"Alright Mrs Knight, when I ask you to push you push. And please take in deep breaths alright?" The doctor says, placing his gloved hands on my thighs,sl spreading them apart further.
I nod quickly, sweat forming on my forehead.
"Push!"
Oh God..

***
Hours later, my head drops onto the bed, letting out a sigh of relief, my body sagging as the cry of babies fill my ears. My babies. Mine. I shut my eyes for a while, trying to catch my breath, the salty taste of sweat trickling down the sides of my face and landing on my lips. I open my eyes later to find my favourite pair of brown eyes staring back at me, caressing our son in his arms wrapped in a white cloth. He was still covered in sticky fluid but I didn't care. I reached out to touch him. God, he was so tiny. I was yet to set eyes on our daughter too.
"Hey Mr chocolate eyes" I mumble, smiling.
"Hey Mrs Knight" he chuckles slightly, eyes shiny with unshed tears. A single tear escapes.
"Are you crying?"
"You tell anyone about this and I'm murdering you" he warns playfully and it was my turn to chuckle.
"You did well love. He's beautiful. Thank you for this gift princess" he kisses my forehead, letting his lips linger..
I blink, fighting to stay awake.
"I'm sleepy Cam" 
"Go to sleep princess. I'll be here when you wake up" 
"Promise?"
"I Promise"
And I shut my eyes, letting the darkness engulf me.


***
When I woke up afterwards, I was met with several pair of eyes staring back at me. I blink slowly.
"Mom?" 
"Sean?" He was seated at the edge of the bed looking down at me with shiny eyes.
"They're two mom!" He squeals.
"What?" God, my throat feels so dry.
"My brother!" He whines like I should know what he's talking about.
"I have a baby brother! and a baby sister too. I saw them. They're so tiny"
I reach out to ruffle his hair.
"That's how tiny you were too when you were a baby"
"But I'm a big boy now!" He puffs out his tiny chest.
I laugh.
"Of course you're my love"
"I'm going to see them again. I want to give them my pickles!" Before I could say anything, he was rushing out of the room.
I smile, leaning back in the bed and that's when I realise I wasn't alone.
"Hello dear, how are you feeling?" My mother in-law sits next to me.
"Tired. Apart from that I think I'm okay"
She takes my hand in hers, looking at me in a way that made me miss having a mother. A real mother. But no. Mine was away in jail. And never coming back.
"Where's my dad?" I ask, trying to steer my mind away from going further.
"Oh, he left few minutes before you woke up to get some clothes for you"
I nod.
"And Cameron?". Right on cue, door opens just then. My husband walked in, a bouquet of red roses in hand and a box of chocolates in the other.
My mother in-law excuses herself to give us some privacy.
"Flowers and chocolates for the most beautiful and amazing woman on earth"
I grin, taking the roses and sniffing.
"It's beautiful Cam, thank you"
"Not as beautiful as you my queen" he flicks my nose.
"So now I'm your queen? What happened to princess?" I raise an eyebrow.
"Well we have a little princess now. So I have to move your status up"
I roll my eyes, running a hand over my face.
"How are you feeling? You okay?" He scoots closer.
"Yeah. Just tired... I look a mess don't I?" I sigh, imagining how my hair must be sticking all over the place.
But my husband seemed to think otherwise. Husband, how I loved calling him that.
"You look perfect princess. You'd still look perfect even if you were bald and wore rags"
"Jeez Cameron, thanks for the compliment" I mutter sarcastically and he grins. We fall into a comfortable silence after, basking in each other's presence. Soon, Julian, Marie and everyone else was going to barge in to destroy our private moment. Better enjoy it now.
"Cam? I want to see my babies. Where are they?" I break the silence, desperately wanting to hold my babies  
As if on cue, the door opens and two nurses step in, carrying my little bundles of joy.
Handing the babies to us, they exit and I'm left staring at my baby girl in my arms. She grabs my finger with her entire hand, attempting to push my finger into her mouth, staring back at me with large brown eyes.
"She has your eyes Cameron" I say, unable to take my eyes off her.
I plant a kiss to her chubby cheeks.
"I love you my little one. I Love you so so much" I coo and her lips stretch into a grin..
"Cameron?" I look up, watching him rock our son.
"Hmm?"
"You wanted to surprise me before I went to labor"
"Oh..yeah..I actually wanted to give you the umm... license"
I frown "license?"
"Yeah. I finally got it. license to finally start your restaurant."
My heart soar with joy.
"Really?!" God, how I wish I could throw my arms around him and kiss him.
"Yep really..and.." He pauses, looking away.
"And?" I probe further.
"I..I called my brother and dad and asked them if they wanted to come visit our babies"
My eyes widen in surprise at the new information.. He called his brother and father here? Did this mean he had forgiven them?
"I'm proud of you Cam and I'm looking forward to meeting my father and brother in-law"
He smiles.
"Cameron?" I say after a while.
"We're going to be okay aren't we? I mean, I've never been in a relationship and now here I am, a wife, student, mother..

Read " The Last Virgin " by the same author ( eliza )

. I'm worried I'll screw this up" I sigh.
He balances our son on one hand and reaches out to caresses my face.
"I'm not promising you a perfect blissful life princess. And I'm not promising you I won't screw this up at some point because I'm still learning. But like I told you princess, no matter what, rain or shine, we're in this together. We'll always be in this together. You and I, against the world"
"I love you so much Cameron. Thank you for loving me"
"And thank you for loving a sh*t mess like me" he smirks.
I laugh.
"Now...." His gaze rests on our babies.
"Shall we start thinking of names for our kids? Sean came up with a few ideas" his eyes twinkle with joy.
I smile, leaning back, rocking our daughter in my arms.
Names. Of course we need to name our babies. Names that signifies the birth of our new little humans into the world, just like the birth of my new found happiness, sprouting and blooming like roses and lilies in a field.
And This, this was the birth of my happiness, and this time, it had come to stay.
And I couldn't ask for more.

THE END...
