Isla POV
Being pregnant with twins definitely had it's downsides, now that I was almost due I felt like I was as big as a house and due to the size of my bump it was difficult to do certain things like help Joe finish the nursery.
I had been sat downstairs with my feet up the couch per Joe's orders while he did the finishing touches, frustrated didn't cover how I felt, I wanted us to finish it together but I appreciate that Joe wants to take care of me.
"I am definitely ready for you two to get here" I sigh as I run my hand over my huge bump
As my due date was so close my mom decided it would be a good idea for Maddie to stay with her just in case we had to rush off, She was two now and she throughly enjoyed having a joint birthday party with daddy. Their bond just keeps getting stronger but I did worry from time to time that that would change once the twins arrived.
"Rooms all done butterfly, do you want to come and see?" Joe asks holding out his hand to me
"Sure I guess" I say taking his hand and letting him help me stand
"I know you wanted to finish it with me, but maybe next time?" He says cupping my cheek
"Next time?" I say looking up at him "Joe you ain't putting another set of twins in me"
"It might just be one next time" he chuckles "now come on I want you to see the final thing I added"
Holding his hand I walk with him to the nursery, we enter the room and he stands behind me with his arms wrapped around me as I look around the room.
My eyes fall on a large framed image of a tree, on my side is my family and on the other is Joe's, it joins in the middle with Joe and I and underneath or names are three other names Madison, Willow and Kai all with the surname Anoa'i.
"Joe it's perfect" I say "what made you think of it?"
"Well I wanted a way for Maddie to know regardless of genetics she is my daughter" he says "As far as I'm concerned I'm a father of three and I'm going to love her just as much as the twins, my love for her is never going to change"
"I swear sometimes you can read my mind" I say turning to face him "it's like you knew I was worrying about that"
"I had a feeling" he smiles "remember butterfly I know you better than you know yourself, while i was finising up in here i got to thinking about something"
"Oh and what would that be?" I ask
"Well I was thinking this place is OK for now but as the twins get older they are going to want their own rooms, and if we were to have more children we'd need more space" he says "so I was thinking that maybe we could look for a bigger place together, a family home"
"Joe I can't afford anything bigger" I say "I would love to but its just not doable for me"
"Butterfly I'm asking you to buy a house with me not on your own" he chuckles "we'll both own it"
"Oh I mean are you sure?" I ask "I'm sorry I've just always had to do things myself, I'm not used to having some one to share it with"
"I know but you will never have to do anything alone again" he says kissing the tip of my nose "everything we do, we do together, and yes im completely sure"
"Then let's do it" I smile "have you thought about where?"
"Well I was thinking Pensacola" he says "That's where my place is, the kids will be near the sea and we can take them to Disney"
"And you get me away from Callum" I say and his face falls a little
"I don't trust him butterfly with you or our daughter" he says "I wouldn't be comfortable leaving you here while I'm on the road, not after....."
"Hey it's ok" I say cupping his cheek "I think Pensacola is a great idea, if I'm honest I don't feel safe being here without you"
"I love you butterfly, so much" he says resting his head agaisnt
mine
"I love you...ooh oww" I gasp placing my hands on my bump
"What? What is it?" He asks looking down at my bump
"I...I think it was a contraction" I say
"What do we do? Do I take you to the hospital?" He asks a hint of panic in his voice
"Not yet, we wait until either my water breaks or the contractions get closer together" I say "don't worry superstar I know what I'm doing" I smile
"It's actually happening, we're going to meet our babies" he smiles placing his hands on top of mine
