"LET OUT ONE MORE BIG PUSH, BROOKLYNN!" The nurse said to me as I laid there. "Come on baby you got this." Jimmy said.

"I can't." I sighed out loud. "I'm so tired." I panted "it hurts so bad." I cried.

"COME ON BROOKLYNN, ONE MORE."  She told me.

I pushed, one more time, giving it my all. I then heard another cry.

"We have the boy!" The nurse said.

I let out a big cry. I was in so much pain. The nurse then laid my son out on my chest.

"You did great, baby." Jimmy reassured me. I looked up and smiled at him "yeah?" I asked, still smiling. "Yeah." He told me, shaking my head.

The nurse took them to clean them off a bit. "Can you get me some water?" I asked. My throat felt like sandpaper.

"Yeah of course." He told me, before leaving. I watched as the nurses handled my children. They were so small. I can't believe they came out of me.  Two nurses walked back over to me, each holding one of my babies.

I held both of them in each arm, and kept taking turns admiring both of them.

"What're their names?" The nurse asked. I looked up at her.

"Well, my husband and I agreed on James Patrick Page III for our boy." I told her. She nodded with a smile.

"What about her?" The second nurse asked, and I shifted my gaze onto her.

Flashback:

"Freddie, I am not naming her that." I told him, laughing. He was cracking what.

"Why not? Freddierina is beautiful, dear!" He said, trying to hide his smile.

"No thank you... besides, what if they're two boys?" I asked. 

"No. One of them is definitely a girl. At least one." He said, sounding certain.

We stayed silent for a moment before he spoke up again. "How about..."

FLASHBACK OVER:

My thoughts were interrupted by knocking. Jimmy popped his head in, and behind him was Freddie.

"Hiii!" I called out, excited to talk to Freddie.
"Forget the small talk, dear. Where are they?" He asked.

I laughed. "They're right here." I said, glancing down to the babies.

"Awwww." He said, poking his lip out.  "What're their names?" He continued.

"Welll." I started. "This is James." I said looking over to the boy.

"And thisss." I began, taking a second to look at her before continuing.

"This is Mileena"  I told them, and Freddie's eyes lit up.

FLASHBACK:

That's actually pretty... I guess that can be a possibility." I told him. "YES!" He cheered, and we both laughed.

Mileena Page... It has a ring to it.
