Thoughtless Love

Chapter Seven: Forever Home

I went to my appointment before my surgery to have a hysterectomy. They drew blood and then did an ultrasound to check if I had cysts so they could have the tools needed for that.

The sonographer looked puzzled.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"There's two masses in your uterus. I'm going to get a closer look. Can you pull your pants down a bit?" She said.
I pulled my pants down a bit and she turned on the sound.
I think I fainted at what I heard.
Heartbeats. And not only one. I was in shock because we had already make a decision and life gave us a different plan.

The sonographer printed out pictures. And I went home.

Nicholas was filming another movie at this time and was going to come back the day before my surgery.
He called me right before bed.
"How did everything go at the doctor? Did they give you a date for the procedure so I can let everyone know here?" He asked.

"They had to postpone it a bit."

"How long?" He exclaimed.

"About 10 months!" I cried.
He looked completely startled and confused.
I held up the sonographer's photos.

His eyes grew wide and his mouth opened. He was in complete shock. He couldn't even speak. He kept running his hands on his face nervously.

"It's twins again." I said, "I love you so much, but my goodness we keep on popping out babies."

"My doctor did say that at my 6 week checkup after the twins are born that we'll do the procedure right away."

Nicholas took a deep breath in.

"Are you mad?" I asked.

"Babe, I'm not mad. I love you so much and all of our kids. This is a beautiful thing. And I know we had talked about not having anymore but maybe life was meant to be different. Maybe we are supposed to continue having our children. Maybe they'll change the world. But you know, that means you are going to have to sell the house and we will have to buy a bigger one."

"Finally!" I exclaimed.

Nicholas finished filming his film and he came home. Then we began looking for our perfect home. We needed a house with at least 9-10 bedrooms because of all the children we had and were having.

Matthew was 10 years old, Olivia was 8 years old. Daisy was 3 years old. Phoebe and Delilah were 2 years old. Liam was 6 months old. There I was 30 years old with 6 about to be 8 kids. It was beautiful though.

We searched and searched for houses but we couldn't find the right one. Most of the bigger houses were taken. So we decided to build our own. Since I owned the land we were currently living on, we decided to just add to our current home and create our dream home together.

We added 5 more bedrooms to our current home. We also built an 8 bedroom home on land I owned in my hometown. We wanted to use this home and a vacation/getaway home.

Our vacation home was done before the additions to our forever home were. So we went and stayed at our vacation home for a while. It was magical.

Since we were living in South Texas for a bit I decided to see my original OB that delivered my first two children. She welcomed me back with open arms and was super excited to meet Nicholas. She was the perfect doctor for this pregnancy. I was always tired and exhausted and she gave me solid advice on how to proceed and what I could and could not do. Everything was falling into place at this moment.

Finally the day came to give birth to the twins. A boy and a girl. Caleb Luke Galitzine and Chloe Fath Galitzine. They were so beautiful and looked so much alike. It was a full circle moment and things couldn't get any better.

Since I wanted to go ahead and have a hysterectomy this time she said to wait until my 6 week appointment because I needed to heal a bit before surgery. She said to avoid any sexual encounters to avoid the possibility of another child being born.

We of course didn't listen and did sleep together one time before my 6 week visit. But we were pretty sure we were okay and not going to have another baby. Everything was so perfect during this time and I don't think anything could change the amazing feeling that I was feeling. Or could it?
