I looked at Ed through tears as the reality of what I said set in.
" you had sex?" He said suddenly,looking at me with a confused expression. " yes, uh I was drunk" I said, I felt so guilty about it all I could do was cry, I'm surprised I had tears left to cry after the series of events that had occurred in within the space of four hours. " don't cry, its okay, you were upset and lost and- its okay" he said quickly and he smashed his lips onto mine, his warmth flooding my cold skin with a single touch. " I love you so much" I said sloppily through the kiss." Love you more baby " he said back.

Stu had come in earlier and taken James back to the house. We hadn't heard anything about our new born daughters since the smaller of the two as rushed into surgery a little under three hours ago. "Ed I want to see my babies" I said to him as we sat together, cuddling. "soon love, they are gunna be okay" he reassured me, although nobody was certain because of the dangerous stuff id consumed and done during the time I was pregnant, which the doctors had confirmed was one day off eight months. "im not sure Ed, I did bad stuff" I sniffed.  "its happened and it cant be reversed but the past is the past" he said and I smiled at this comment, the why his words sounded so lyrical as they rolled off his tongue. I took a few seconds to admire the man sitting in front of me, his hair which stuck up in all directions, with a few strands sticking to his forehead, the few freckled scattered across his cheeks and nose, his bright blue ayes, which looked more like something from an angel, and the small amount of chub on his stomach, which fit his statue perfectly. I moved my eyes slowly down his body and he caught my gaze as I reached his stomach. " quit eye raping me" he said, mimicking the way I spoke from the first day we met. "im not, I was admiring you" I said, correcting him. he leaned in forward and kissed me, his tongue entering my mouth and fighting for dominance, in which he won.

"Sheeran?" a nurse said as she poked her head around the door, a look of embarrassment spread across her face as she saw Ed and I basically making out, he was now leaning over me on his hands and knees, kissing me over and over again. "im sorry to interrupt" she started, "its fine" I said as Ed sat back next to me, his cheeks blushing scarlet. "You are aware that one of your twins is in surgery as we speak?" she said and Ed and I nodded in unison. "well, your second daughter has also been taken straight in now, she too has a heart defect that needs fixing immediately" she said, I felt my eyes begin to well up with tears yet again, why was this happening?

"thank you for letting us know" I said as I wiped away and turned to Ed, who was sitting with his head in his hands, shaking his head. "are you okay?" I asked him and he turned his head to look at me. "im worried about my daughters, wait they are mine right?" he said nervously, I knew they were his because he was the only one id had sex with since I was fifteen. "yes, of course" I said quickly, reassuring him that they were his daughters. " I love them" he said, " i mean, its not often you deliver your daughter unexpectedly on your sofa is it?" he laughed, and i giggled. " sorry bout that" i said, blushing, "its fine, you didn't know" he said, and i lay my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes "im tired" i whispered as my tired thoughts turned to blackness.

I woke up sometime later in the warmth of arms, i was hoping it wasn't some dream and i would wake up back in the coldness of the park. i blinked a few times and stretched my arms out, "morning" a voice whispered in my ear, sending a warm breath down my neck. "morning" i whispered back huskily, "are they okay?" i added, remembering my babies. as i spoke i looked at my phone, it read 5:00pm, Id been asleep for roughly nine hours. "they're both out of surgery, we can see them" he smiled at me and leaned across for a kiss, his lips were warmer than mine as usual, making me shiver. "can we go now?" i asked eagerly, i was finally meeting my babies in daylight, although they were both so sick. " of course" he said, helping me up form the bed, i wrapped my arm around his waist and we walked down to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

We pushed open a door and were greeted by nurse who took us to a room, where we were told to scrub up our hands and arms, as we were entering a strict no germ premises. After we were scrubbed we were lead to a room which contained two extremely complicated set ups, these were our girls beds. i basically ran towards them, placing my hands on the plastic separating me from my daughters. "Ed look at them" i breathed in disbelief. They were completely identical, the same hair color, a mix between ginger and brown, Ed's eye shape and lips, and my nose. They both slept with their heads turned to the right, showing off their perfects crowns of hair. "wow" Ed whispered as one of them woke up, revealing her beautiful eyes. They were a bright blue, with a tiny speck of brown in each, a mixture of both Ed and I. we stood above our daughters and one of them made direct eye contact with us, staring at us with wide eyed wonder. "hey there beautiful" i whispered, reaching my hand into the provided holes and stroking her tiny head gently with my thumb. 'we need names Ed" i said as he reached in his hand, he smiled goofily as she grabbed his thumb, her whole hand fitting half his thumb.

"you chose a name, i'll choose a name" i said.

"agreed" Ed replied.
