You and Me

Chapter 85

Charlotte's POV

I woke up and noticed that Waverly and Jasmine were back in the room. In their own beds with their babies in their arms I smiled and Ivan noticed I was awake. "Hey beautiful, how are you feeling?" he said and I smiled. "Like I wanna have another baby" I jokingly said, earning a laugh from him. "I don't think having more babies is going to be an option honey." Ivan said and I noticed he was being serious. I looked at him and frowned.

"You don't want more kids with me?" I asked hurt and he shook his head. "No, I would love to have more kids with you but not if it'll put your life in danger." he said and I kissed him. "I want to have more babies. I already talked with Dr. Chang on the last appointment I had with him and agreed that if I get pregnant again I will go on maternity leave after 30 weeks so that labor goes smoothly" I said and he nodded and kissed me.

"I was so scared," he whispered to me. I noticed his eyes were welled up with tears and mine started to as well. "I'm right here" I said, I brought my hands and cupped his face, i noticed the IV on my right hand but I ignored him I leaned in and kissed him.

"Hey! Remind me to murder your ass when I'm able to get off this bed again" Waverly said catching my attention. I laughed and nodded. "You really gave us a scare Char" Jasmine said and I looked down at my hands. "I know, I'm sorry I should've told you guys." I said, they both smiled and nodded.

Two nurses came in and brought two cribs with my little babies and I gasped and smiled with joy. "Sorry I had to take them to run a couple more tests." the nurse said and I nodded. I did little grabby hands and Ivan chuckled at my childish behavior, handing me our little prince. "Oh my goodness aren't you so precious." I said in a baby voice. "Are you going to tell us their names now?" Tony asked and I nodded.

"This little prince here is Issac Jordan Carter Lombardo" I said, grabbing his tiny hand and acting like he was waving and they all laughed. "And this beautiful princess is Avery Blake Carter Lombardo" Ivan said, doing the same thing I did with her little hand.

Some of our family came to meet the babies and talk. Ale seemed upset that she didn't give labor with us but was happy that everything went okay. My dad was so ecstatic that Issacs middle name was Jordan since his name is Jordan. After they left I decided to start feeding the little ones since it was late.

I just finished feeding my little Issac since I fed Avery first. Ivan placed them both in their cribs and then kissed me. "I love you" I said and he replied. "I love you too baby" he said. I scooted over so that he could lay with me on the bed. "I miss Lili," I said and he nodded. "I know me too," he said and kissed my forehead. He started rubbing my back and instantly I fell asleep.

3 days after:

We were on the way home and I am so excited for Lili to meet the babies. She didn't come to the hospital because we figured it would be a boring place for her so we've only spoken over the phone. She's been staying with my brother these last couple of days even though Justin said she's been having a hard time falling asleep because she starts to cry for me which breaks my heart.

We just got to the parking lot and I waited for Ivan to open the backseat since I couldn't because I was in the middle of two baby car seats. Ivan opened the door and started chuckling at me and I rolled my eyes. He took out Issac with his car seat and then I got out, he put the car seat back on and took him out carrying him and I did the same with Avery.

We walked in and saw my brother here with my little Lilly who started clapping when she saw me and Ivan enter. She slowly got down from the couch and carefully walked towards us holding onto the edge of the couch. "Mommy! Daddy!" she said with excitement. Me and Ivan placed the babies in the bassinets before heading to her.

"Hi my little princess" I said, sitting on the couch and picking her up. It felt so nice to carry my little bean without a huge bump in the way. I placed hundreds of kisses all over her cute chubby cheeks and she giggled. Ivan sat next to me and Lili threw her arms at him, he chuckled and grabbed her sitting her on his lap.

"Uh oh! Mommy belly!" Lili said, gasping, putting her cute little hands up in the air. "Mommy's belly got smaller" Ivan said to her and she went down on the carpet and settled between my legs. She reached my stomach and her eyebrows furrowed. "Babies?" she asked, pointing to my belly. I smiled and stood up to get the babies with Ivan's help.

He took Issac and I took Avery. Liliana broke out into a smile as soon as me and Ivan sat back on the couch with the babies. She placed a kiss on their cheeks very gently and I was shocked at how gentle and careful she was being with them.

We talked with Justin for a while and then he left home. I went to the couch and cuddled with Liliana while we watched Pj masks. I don't want Lily to feel that as soon as her little siblings got home all the attention was moved to them. I want to show her to understand that they need more attention but that we love her as much as we love them.

I got up and walked to the kitchen where Ivan was, he was making some spaghetti for tonight. I hugged him from behind and he turned around picking me up and placing me on the kitchen Island. He kissed me with his hands on my thighs and I smiled.

"It's going to be a struggle to give breast milk to 3 kids" I said to Ivan, sighing. I know he could tell how overwhelmed I was. I say 3 because Lili is only 11 months old so her body is still not ready to drink normal milk so I have to keep giving her breast milk or formula for a whole month more. "And you know I don't like the idea of giving the baby's or Lili Formula" I said hugging Ivan.

He slowly caressed my back soothing me to calm down the same way he does all the time. "We'll figure it out and if you struggle too much with it we are going to have to give them formula. It's just one more month. It won't hurt for Lili to have some formula." Ivan said and I nodded.

I got down from the Island and kissed Ivan. "Thank you," I said to him and he kissed me again. I went into the fridge and took out a bottle from the fridge of breast milk I had pumped out a couple of hours ago. I heated it up a little and brought it to Liliana. When she saw the bottle she put the pillow on the couch and threw herself back into a lying position and smiled, clapping her hands.

I chuckled and kissed her nose before giving her her milk. She took the bottle from me immediately and started drinking it. Ivan brought two plates of food and we sat on the couch eating. In a couple of minutes Liliana had made her way over to lay across me and Ivan's laps while we ate.

Every single time we eat in the living room watching Tv she does this. I smiled at Ivan and he chuckled at our little princess. After we finished eating we watched Tv for a little and then it was time for me to feed the babies. Ivan took the plates to the kitchen and I picked up Lili who was now sleeping with her face facing my stomach and arm wrapped around my waist. I layed her across the couch with pillows surrounding her so she wouldn't fall and headed to grab Avery.

I sat on the couch and started to breastfeed my other little princess who was half asleep. After I was done with Avery it was Isaac's turn. Breast feeding them and holding their tiny bodies against mine brought so many memories of when Lili was born.

I smiled at my little Liliana who was sleeping in the same position I left her in and looked over at Avery who was now full and asleep on Ivan's shoulder while he tried burping her, finally i looked down my little only prince and she was half asleep but still attached to me eating. I looked at Ivan and smiled at my perfect little family. Well not so little now right.
