Love Lasts Forever

already pregnant with baby two and three

I can't believe it's only been ten months since I gave birth to our beautiful daughter, Demi, and now I'm already 2 months pregnant with twins! I'm filled with excitement and a bit of anxiety as I think about how Charlie and I will handle three kids under the age of two.

Charlie comes into the room, holding Demi in his arms. "Hey, beautiful," he says, giving me a kiss on the forehead. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm good," I reply, smiling up at him. "Just a little overwhelmed with everything that's happening."

Charlie sits down next to me on the bed and starts bouncing Demi on his knee. "Hey, we've got this," he says, looking into my eyes. "We're a team, and we'll figure it out together."

I lean my head on his shoulder, feeling grateful for his support. "I know," I say. "I just can't believe how fast everything is happening. It feels like just yesterday that we were worrying about how we were going to afford diapers for one baby, and now we're going to have three!"

Charlie chuckles. "Yeah, but we've come a long way since then. We're both working now, and we've got a good support system in place. Plus, we've got each other."

"That's true," I say, smiling up at him. "I don't know what I'd do without you."

Charlie leans down and gives me a kiss. "Likewise, babe. Now, let's talk about names for these twins. I was thinking Taylor for a girl and Nicholas for a boy. What do you think?"

I rest my hand on my growing belly, feeling the twins kick. "I like those names," I say. "Taylor and Nicholas it is."

Charlie beams with pride. "I can't wait to meet them," he says. "I know they're going to be just as amazing as Demi."

I feel a pang of guilt as I think about Demi. "I just hope Demi doesn't feel left out with two new babies in the house," I say.

Charlie shakes his head. "She's going to be fine," he says. "We'll make sure she knows how much we love her and how important she is to us."

I nod, feeling reassured. "You're right," I say. "We'll make it work. We always do."

Charlie wraps his arm around me, pulling me close. "That's right, babe," he says. "We're the Hayes family, and we're unstoppable."

I rest my head on his chest, feeling his heartbeat. "I love you," I say.

"I love you too," he replies. "Now let's go enjoy some time with our beautiful daughter before the twins arrive."

Charlie stands up, holding Demi in his arms, and I follow him out of the room. As I look at my little family, I feel a sense of peace and happiness wash over me. We may not have it all figured out, but as long as we have each other, we can handle anything that comes our way.
