Esmeralda knew she wanted children someday but she didn't expect that someday was today. The moment she had told her boyfriend, he freaked out but he stayed, he was there with her through everything. She was scared, as was he. But it worked out in the end.
Or did it?
Giving birth was the hardest and the most painful thing she had ever experienced. She was never doing that ever again, those 16 hours were the most painful and worst hours of her life. But in the end she gave birth to two beautiful boys, it was all worth it.
But what she didn't expect was to die. She was fine one minute and dying the next, it all happened so fast. She woke up with a gasp, her breathing going unevenly, her eyes swirling around with fear.
Everything was different, she felt completely different yet everything was the same. She felt the same but something had changed within her. The door to her hospital room opens revealing Jeremy who rushed towards her bringing her into a bone crushing hug.
"I thought I had lost you," he murmurs into her neck, holding her tightly afraid if he let go she'd disappear. She desperately holds onto him, fear shaking throughout her body, within her.
"I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere," she whispers back to him. "The babies?" she asks him, searching his face for answers, anxiety seeping into her body like a plague.
Sensing her worries he calms her, "they're fine, they're beautiful. I'll ask the nurse to bring them."
Her nerves still didn't leave, she had to see them with her own eyes to believe his words. He kisses her on the crown of head before leaving the room to go talk to the nurse to bring the twins.
Jeremy came back soon after he left, carrying one of the twins while a nurse carried another, she carefully handed the baby to her, Jeremy also handed the other baby to her. She looked at the babies in her arms with nothing but adoration and love.
Esmeralda had never felt happier than this very moment. She had everything she needed, she had her boys. Her two beautiful babies. At first when she first learned that she was pregnant she freaked out and was honestly not planning on going through with the pregnancy, seeing as they both are only 16.
But she later came to a decision on her own that she would go through it. She had an amazing support system, she didn't lack money, she was in a great place with her mental health and the father of the child would present.
Jeremy supported her choice, it was her body and she was allowed to do what she wanted with it. He had no control over it, it wasn't his nor was it his place to do so. So if she didn't want to put her body through pregnancy then he was more alright with it.
But when she told him that she was going to keep, he was nervous but thrilled to be a father. He supported her through the entire pregnancy. His parents didn't exactly approve of it but this was his life and he wasn't going to leave her and the baby. He was going to present. Nothing was going to keep him away from them.
And when they found out that they were going to have twins, it took them by surprise but they were nervous and happy about it. Their small family was expanding. Sure, they're 16, but this was their choice, mostly entirely hers but he supported her.
Esmeralda lived on her own, she had done well for herself and started a daylight ring business the second she got a hang of her powers which brought in a lot of money. Jeremy had moved in with her and got a job so he could help her out and their kids. None of it had to be entirely on her, they would both work together.
Esmeralda wasn't the best cook so Jeremy cooked for them, they split the chores so they both contributed. They both would take care of the babies cause it takes two tangle and make a child. They both held responsibility and they both owned up to it.
So here they were two weeks later, Esmeralda and the twins came home a week ago. Esmeralda and Jeremy had switched to online school so they wouldn't go to school in person, one it was hard for Esmeralda due to her pregnancy and two teenagers were mean, Jeremy went online because he wanted to be there for her. He didn't want her to go through it all alone.
Jeremy had stayed out of the supernatural drama, he had learned about it when he was ten when Esmeralda had told him about it. Well seeing as she was a part of the supernatural community. He didn't want to get involved at all, he loved his sister but he wasn't going to risk not only his life but his pregnant girlfriend's life. Now it still stayed the same, he's a father now, his children needed him so did Esmeralda. He wasn't going to put them in danger.
Esmeralda and Jeremy went over to the Gilbert's house, his old house. The babies in their carrier, Jeremy was carrying them both while Esmeralda had the diaper bag as they walked into the house after Jenna let them in of course.
"Oh my god, they're soo cute," Jenna sequels, gushing over the babies.
"They're cute until they keep you up all night," Jeremy mutters with Esmeralda nodding agreeing with him. They both took turns staying up with the babies so the other one could sleep, at least one of them had to get a good night's rest.
Jeremy sets the carrier down on the couch and Jenna wasted no time getting them out of the car seat, taking one of the twins, carefully holding the baby with the help of Jeremy.
"Jeremy, I know how to hold a baby, I took care of you and Elena, stop it," she exclaims feeling annoyed, moving away from her nephew.
Elena comes out of her room and looks at Esmeralda then at her aunt who was holding one of the twins. "Oh my god! The babies!" she exclaims with her eyes wide. She runs over the baby carrier and takes the other twin out of it and holds him with the guidance of Esmeralda.
"Oh my god, they're adorable," she gushes, looking at the baby with awe.
Elena looks at the new parents with confusion and slight worry, "which one am I holding? How do you tell them apart?"
Esmeralda lets out a small chuckle at her worry. "You're holding Helio and Jenna's holding Hugo," she tells her with a gentle smile trying to ease her worries.
Jeremy wraps an arm around his girlfriend. "We can't tell them apart, we got bracelets with their names engraved on them and plus we color coded them," he confesses with a sheepish smile.
Alaric comes over to Jenna to look at the baby and gushes on how cute Helio is. The family continues to gush about the babies. Elena and Jenna jokingly tell the parents of the twins that they were going to kidnap them.
