Love At First Sight Part Two

Chapter 201 - So Beautiful

The next morning Erling meets with Thomas while I stay at home. I first clean our apartment and then want to study a little. I've just made myself some tea as an unknown number calls. "Eve Steyns. Who's there?", I say as I pick up the phone. "Hi, it's Gigi here.", I hear my friend say. "Hey, Gigi, are you and the babies okay? Do you need anything?", I ask before taking a sip of tea. She chuckles and then answers: "We're doing fine. But I would really like to have some company. Benji had to leave to Munich already but the twins and I have to stay until they're strong enough to breathe alone which will be in two weeks or so. Would you like to come here?" I'm immediately as keen as mustard and agree to come to the hospital. I drink the rest of my tea and then put on my shoes and jacket. Also I take my bag, then I leave the apartment and enter the car. On my way to the hospital I stop at a little flower shop. With the help of one very kind employee I assemble a flower bouquet. It's a mixture of different pink and purple flowers and I feel like it fits Gigi perfectly. I thank the woman and give her a pretty big tip. She just deserves that. Then I get back into the car and continue driving. I make another stop at a supermarket and buy a few healthy yet very yummy snacks for Gigi. My next stop is the hospital, finally. I enter it and directly go to the ward where she's at. I tell the nurses my name and follow them to Gigi's room. I knock on the door and then enter it. "Hello mummy. How're you?", I say quietly whilst walking towards her. She smiles bright and answers: "I feel pretty good. I'm still exhausted as hell but yeah... The two miracles make me very happy." I also smile and then hand her the snacks whilst putting the flowers into a vase at her night desk. Gigi thanks me and immediately gets a chocolate bar out of the bag of snacks and eats it. "Damn, this is so much better than the hospital food. You're a literal angel.", she groans happily which makes me laugh a little. Then Giovanna asks: "Do you want to see the two now?" and as I nod she walks over to the two baby beds I somehow didn't notice yet. She carefully takes one of the babies out of one of the beds and then comes towards me. She gently places her child in my arms and at the same time says: "That's our first born, Chiara Yasmine Pavard. Chiara because my ancestors came from Italy to Brazil and this Italian name is my favourite. Yasmine because Benji loves the name." I stare at this little miracle in my arms and my eyes fill with tears. I was supposed to hold my own baby girl by now. That kinda makes me sad but at the same time I feel so damn happy because Gigi was blessed with this miracle. "She's so beautiful.", I whisper whilst stroking over her face, careful to not remove the things that help her breathe. She really is gorgeous. She is a perfect mixture of her parents and just looks so cute and little. Gigi smiles bright and then walks to the second bed to get the second child out of it. She comes closer and shows her son to me, saying: "And this is Théo Henri Pavard." I look at her son and my smile becomes even bigger. He already looks like a perfect little copy of Benjamin. "They're both so gorgeous, Gigi. I'm so happy for you. And I'm so proud of you. I mean... You've grown them and you gave birth to them. Those two are your and Benjamin's little miracles. That's so wonderful.", I whisper, still looking at the childring, pretty much admiring them.
We adore the two for a few more minutes but then have to give them to two nurses who take them to one examination room where a doctor is waiting already. Meanwhile Gigi and I talk and laugh a lot and even go for a little walk. It's so crazy that we've only known each other for a day but I feel like I've known her all my life already.
