Kenny's POV
"KENNY!"
I groan as I flip onto my stomach and bury my head into my pillow.
"KENDRA!"
"No I'm tired." I mumble into my pillow.
The dogs start barking uncontrollably as they get louder and louder. I feel one of the dogs jump onto my bed as whoever it is continues to bark. I open one eye as I peek and see it's Arlo.
"I don't even wanna know how jumped onto my bed. You're still small. Now leave me alone and stop barking. Or stay and sleep here."
"KENDRA RUIZ MY WATER BROKE."
My eyes widen as I quickly wiggle out of my bed and run into Izzy's room.
"Nuh uh put the water back in you're not due for another two weeks. No no no we had it all planned out. I MADE A PLAN WITH CHRISTEN. I don't do plans or schedules. BUT I DID FOR YOU."
"Kenny my contractions are three minutes apart. If you don't get me to the hospital now I will drive myself there."
I open my mouth to say something but close it as I bounce on my toes. I look down and back up and down again and back up again.
"So what do I do? What do I take? I wasn't prepared for this." I say.
"Grab the bag that's in the closet and that's it really." Izzy says.
"Easy enough." I say with a shrug.
I quickly grab the bag from the closet as I help Izzy get to the car.
Once in the car I start heading to the hospital as well as calling Christen.
"Hello?" A clearly groggy Christen answers.
"She's in labor get here ASAP."
"Excuse me?" Christen asks.
Did I stutter? Was I not clear? What the fuck Christopher.
"Hi babe, I'm not in labor. My water broke and contractions are three minutes apart. I'd say labor is right around the corner. So maybe jump on a plane and get here before your sons pop out." Izzy says calmly.
"Yeah Christopher get here ASAP. She's about to pop them babies out soon."
"God you sound like Kelley." Christen says.
"Just get here soon babe, I don't think they're gonna wait if they're like you." Izzy says and I snort.
"Yeah Christopher if they're like you they're definitely not going to wait."
I pull up to the front of the hospital as I rush inside and inform the people in front.
Two nurses come back out with me and a wheelchair along that I wish they could've pushed me in. I grab the bag as well as whatever else Izzy told me to bring. I then realize I have to put everything back in to move the car.
Once they help Izzy onto the wheelchair I move the car and run back inside. The camera Christopher said to not forget and to video tape the whole thing just in case.
So here I am.
"How you feeling?" I ask Izzy as I kiss her head.
"Like I'm about to pop." Izzy grunts.
I turn the camera to face me and I smile.
"This is going well so far. Christopher when you see this I hope you remember I was here through it all. Ow. What the hell."
"Sorry it just hurts." Izzy says as she squeezes my hand.
"Christopher better get here soon."
"Stop calling her Christopher."
"Never."
"Call Christen's parents." Izzy says and I nod.
"Right right. I got it."
Christen's POV
"I'm here. I'm here. Where is she?" I ask as I set down my duffel bag on the chair.
"She's in the room." Mom says.
"Is it time? Am I too late?" I ask.
"You're not too late. But Kendra did say she's close to begin labor." Mom says and I nod.
I walk to the counter as I ask the nice young man who helps me out.
I walk to another to put on the appropriate attire to be with Bella. Once that's done I'm headed to the room.
"You made it." Bella says and I smile.
"I'm here." I lean down to kiss her forehead. Bella grabs my hand and squeezes it. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm in pain, but it's bearable for now. I'm so glad you made it. I didn't want you to miss this." Bella says with a weak smile.
I lean down to kiss her forehead as I stand next to her.
"Alright Isabella. It's time to start pushing." Maria says. Maria looks up at the both of us and she gives us a warm smile. "Relax Christen she's in safe hands. Izzy push whenever you're ready."
"You got this baby."
"Easy for you to say you're just standing." Bella says and my eyes widen.
Note to self. Next pregnancy just shut the fuck up.
After a couple of minutes Bella starts to push. I don't know how parents record and not cry at the same time. My hands are shaking, but doing my best in holding the camera.
After pushing for a while a cry is heard. I lift my head up as I hear the crying.
"Baby boy number one. Christen do you want to cut the umbilical chord?" Maria asks and I move the camera towards her.
I walk over towards Maria, I point to the camera elsewhere as I cut the chord.
"Baby he's adorable."
Maria bring him over to Bella to see and quickly takes him back to get him clean, weigh him and measure him.
"Seven pound seven ounces. Seventeen inches."
"He's big." Bella says with a watery laugh.
"He is." I say with a water laugh as well.
"Alright Izzy let's get that second little one out." Maria says.
Bella starts pushing again and I feel my hands shaking as I continue to record. After a couple of minutes another cry is heard.
"Baby boy number two. Christen?" Maria says.
I walk over and cut the umbilical chord again as I look at him.
"Here he is." Maria says as she shows Bella.
"You did amazing baby." I coo as I move her hair from her face, kissing her forehead.
"Seven pound seven ounces, seventeen inches." A nurse says.
"When they said twins I didn't think they meant literally." I say laughing.
"Here they are. Baby number one and baby number two." The nurse says as she hands both over to Bella.
"These two are our sons so welcome my two handsome boys. They're absolutely adorable. They got their cuteness from their mom definitely not me."
"Christen." Bella says sternly as she looks at me. I roll my eyes as I move the camera back to the boys.
"Fine. Both of us."
"Go tell your family and Kenny. I'm pretty sure they want to meet these two." Bella says and I smile.
"You'll be okay?"
"I have Maria I'm sure I'll be okay."
"Maria I'm counting on you." I say.
"She's in safe hands now go tell them."
I'm a mom!
