Camila POV:

Six months later...

"Oh no, not again" Sebastian says in disgust.

He's changing Sofia's diaper at the moment, and I just finished feeding her. The twins started eating solids this week and let's just say it's not a pretty sight. He came back from practice today not to long ago and still wants to help with the babies. He's a godsend.

The past six months have been far from easy. Having two babies at the same time as learning how to be a mother, moving to a different state, having no help whatsoever, has been difficult. After the twins were born, I suffered severe postpartum depression. I still have my days where I'm not myself but therapy and Prozac pills have saved my life. Literally.

I still can't believe we have twins. We were in complete shock that I was carrying two babies inside of me instead of just one. From never knowing about Romeo, we had to buy double of everything we already had at home for Sofia.

No one tells you the ugly truth about having babies. I almost died... it was life changing and traumatizing. But also completely liberating. It brought Sebastian and I's relationship even closer to than it was before.

We live in our new house in New York, Sebastian is getting to live his dream playing for the New York Knicks and I'm getting to live mine. I'm a mom of two beautiful babies and that's all I've ever wanted truly.

Romeo is a precious gift. He's a miracle. Our tiniest baby. We weren't expecting him, but we wouldn't have it any other way. I'm singing a lullaby my mother once use to sing to me as I rock him back in forth in the rocking chair.

Romeo has big brown eyes with a hint of green, dark curls on his tiny head, tan skin like his dad, and the cutest dimples you have ever seen. Both Romeo and Sofia are identical twins, the only difference is how small he is compared to her and the eye color. She has vibrant dark green eyes that are definitely going to break some hearts in the future. Romeo will eventually grow normally but for right now he's a small baby and that's okay. They say it's because he didn't have enough space to grow as much in the womb, I'm not sure. But he's healthy, they eat normally, and that's all that matters.

"Baby.. can you help me please?" Sebastian grunts hating to even ask me.

I snicker and get up from the grey rocking chair in the nursery, putting a sleeping Romeo gently down in his crib.

I walk on over to the changing station and see Sebastian struggling to wipe all the blowout.

I laugh quietly and he shoves me with his elbow on my shoulder since he's so tall compared to me. "Hey I'm trying here" he defends himself. I quickly take over, helping him as much as I can and finish dressing Sofia in a white onesie, to put her to sleep in her crib. Her eyes slowly shut when I place her down and I walk out of the room remembering to put on white noise and a night light that shines above on the ceiling portraying little stars.

It's there afternoon nap, and I finally get to have me time. Which includes cleaning up the kitchen, working out for a bit and taking a nice warm shower.

I walk into the kitchen to see Sebastian already almost done cleaning it. "Hey I was going to do it" I wrap my arms around his waist from behind kissing his muscular back. "Thank you anyways, I appreciate it." He throws the dish towel on the counter and holds onto my hands and turns around walking forward until my back is against the island in the kitchen.
