     I knew my happy days wouldn't last forever...they didn't even last a week. Three days after moving to the new house when everything looked almost perfect I had one of the scariest experiences in my life....

-Miss.- I heard our maid's concerned voice making me look at her.- You're bleeding.
-Breathe love, you need to breathe.- I knew they were talking to me but I just couldn't understand anything. I just stood frozen...

      Fearing the worst but hoping for the best I tried to calm my nerves snuggling into him while waiting. I loved that safe feeling he was giving.

-You're telling us that everything is okay?- It took us some time to understand what was going on.- How that can be normal? She was bleeding.
-Some bleeding is normal for twin pregnancies.
-Twins?- We both said together.
-I take this reaction as you didn't know but yes. Two babies, and two really strong heartbeats for this time of pregnancy.

-Fuck...- I whispered.

-We lost one twin in our first pregnancy, I'm sorry but it would take much more than everything is normal for us to believe you. We can't go through that again.
-I can't promise that everything will be fine tomorrow or the next month but right now all three of them are fine and healthy.

    Once we got back I just wrapped myself in my fluffy cover and fell asleep. I just needed to forget this day, maybe the whole week...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Everything slowly got back to what it used to be. I enjoyed spending the last warm days outside watching Lilith play with the puppy. I didn't know why but I named her Pearl. She was nothing like a pearl but it just stuck.
    I was still scared shitless about everything but all my appointments would end up being good... Some pains gave me chills and he would "fly" me to get checked only to get back after hearing only good things. Both were growing as they were supposed to and had strong heartbeats. I just refused to know the baby's gender as knowing it wouldn't make them less loved. Maybe not planned but already loved.

   Once my bump started showing up I couldn't get him off me. It was annoying sometimes as I already wasn't happy with my looks and now I felt even bigger than usual... And he had to have his hands on the bump all the time even when we were sleeping. I liked the cuddles and all the attention but as long as it wasn't on my roundness.
 
    When the first snow fell I hit 23 weeks and his obsession with me grew beyond sane level. I was shadowed by him 24/7 and it was super annoying. 

-Why are you doing this by yourself? - I heard him asking as I hung some decorations. We had more thn enough time till Christmas but I wanted to put some bubbles on.
-It's pretty and I can do this without anyone's help.
-And what if you hurt yourself? Hang them but I'm staying and holding you. We don't need any accidents.

  Most of the nights we were cuddling in the bed after putting Lilith and Pearl to sleep. Of course, his hands always were on the roundest part of me and it was making me uncomfortable.
-Olivia and Daniel.- I heard him say as his fingers moved slowly on the bump when I was almost asleep.
-What?
-Can we name the babies Olivia and Daniel?
-Loved? - I wasn't sure I said it loud enough for him to hear.- It's cute, I like it...
