chapter 71

"I'm gonna need you to push soon" the doctor says. "No... not until derek gets here" I sob.

"Honey" my mom brushes my hair out of my face. "Mom I can't do it without him" I look into her eyes, tears streaming down my cheeks. "He'll be here soon" she says. I sob uncontrollably.

"Call him again.. can you call him again please?" I say. She nods. She kisses my head before walking to the other side of the room.

I look as the doors open. "Derek!" I reach out to him. "Hey" he rushes over to me. I cry as he puts his hands on my cheeks, kissing me a few times. "I'm here" he says.

"Where the hell were you!?" I hit him. "There was traffic" he says. I hit him again. "Stop hitting me" he entwines our fingers. I smile.

"Are you ready to push?" The doctor asks. "No" I say. Everyone chuckles. "Next Contraction I need you to push, okay?" He says. I nod. I feel another contraction. I push.

-----

I hear the baby crying as the doctor picks it up. "Your baby girl" he says. I relax a little as I can stop pushing. I watch derek as he cuts the cord.

They wrap the baby into a blanket. They make sure she's okay before passing her to derek. He gasps quietly.

He turns to me. He gently puts her on my chest, holding her head carefully. I'm still crying a lot as I look at her. "She looks exactly like you" he says. "Your eyes" I smile.

"Okay you're gonna need to push again soon" the doctor says. "No I already had a baby.. leave me alone" I whine. Derek chuckles softly.

"Fine.. hold her" I smile. He picks her up gently, holding her in his arms. "No hold my hand too" I whine. He holds my hand.

-----

I'm sat holding our baby boy as he's holding the girl, stood next to me. Our mom's went to get some drinks. "They're so perfect" he whispers. "I know" I whisper.

He kisses her head softly. I smile. He leans down to me. He kisses me softly. "I love you" I whisper. "I love you too.. so much" he kisses me again.

The babies fall asleep and we put them in the small glass hospital crib next to my bed. I budge forward slightly. "Sit behind me" I say. He smiles.

He gently climbs into the bed so I'm between his legs. I snuggle back into him. "We're parents" I smile. "We have children" he says. "A family" I smile.

He wraps his arms loosely around me. "Skinny" he says. I giggle. "I love you so much derek.. and our babies" I say. "I love you all so so much too" he says.

I pull the blanket up. "You cold?" He asks. "A little" I say. He carefully reaches beside the bed. He grabs the bag. I smile as he pulls out a fluffy blanket, draping it over us both.

He kisses my neck. "Why does nobody tell you how much pregnancy actually hurts.. and how much fucking stuff comes out with them" I say. He chuckles.

"Yeah, that was gross" he says. I turn back. I glare at him. He chuckles. I giggle. "And don't swear infront of the babies.. dickhead" he says. I giggle hysterically, pushing my face into the blanket so I don't wake the babies. He chuckles.

The door opens. "Hey" my mom whispers. Our dad's walk in too. "Shh they're asleep" I smile. Our dad's walk over to the babies slowly, trying not to wake them.

We smile as we watch them see their grand babies for the first time. "They're so cute" my dad says. "They look exactly like you two did when you were babies" Christopher says.

"How are you, honey?" My dad asks. "Good.. it hurt like-" I say. "No swearing" Derek says. "Right" I giggle.

"Do you need anything?" Christopher asks. I smile, shaking my head. I yawn. "We'll leave you to get some rest" my mom says. I smile. They all say bye and leave.

"You want me to get up?" Derek asks. "No stay here.. you're comfy" I snuggle back into him. "Okay" he whispers. I close my eyes.

I open them again as mia starts crying. I go to move. "Its okay" Derek says. He reaches over, gently pulling the crib closer. He carefully picks her up, handing her to me.

"You hungry baby?" I whisper, unbuttoning the top of my gown. I move her close and she immediately latches on.

"She might like my boobs more than you do" I grin. "Oh that's not possible" he says. I giggle.

Lucas wakes up. Derek gasps playfully, reaching over and picking him up. He lays him next to his sister in his arms on my lap.

"I could literally die from their cuteness" I say. "Me too" he chuckles softly. He rests his chin on my shoulder.

Mia stops latching on. I pull her away gently. "Switch" I say. He gently picks up mia as I take lucas. He puts down mia in the cot as I feed lucas before putting him away too.

I cuddle into derek. "Der" I whisper. He doesn't answer. I look at him. He's asleep. I chuckle softly. "I love you" I kiss his cheek and its not long before I fall asleep myself.
