Kshitij got Kritika [Completed✓]

Epilogue 💌

POV :~ KSHITIJ 𓂃⋆.˚

One year later.

I still can't believe life changed so fast and in the most beautiful way possible.  Before, it was just Kritika and I, and I absolutely can't believe how time changed so fast and ended up giving us the reason for our lifetime happiness, our biggest blessings — our children.

Life has become busier, yet infinitely more fulfilling. Every cry, every giggle, every new milestone our little children achieve, it's thrilling. It's like watching magic unfold right before our eyes.

I've learned to juggle my responsibilities differently - between work, family time, and taking care of my darling wife. I've become more patient, more understanding, and more loving. Kritika is not just my wife now, she's also my partner in parenting our kids and I couldn't have asked for a better one.

Oh wait !

So yes, WE HAD TWINS !

Twins ! I still can't believe it sometimes. Two little bundles of joy, keeping us on our toes 24/7.

Our love, our entire life. Vedant and Ipshita.

We came to know about it at the 20-week ultrasound appointment of Kritika. The doctor was moving the wand around, and suddenly, there was a second heartbeat. Kritika's eyes widened, and I think mine nearly popped out of my sockets! I still remember that moment. So clearly.

When the doctor confirmed that we were having twins, I was stunned. Just stunned? No. I was excited, mad with happiness, and a little terrified all at once. Kritika was crying happy tears, and I just kept repeating, “Twins? Really? We're having twins!”

That night, after we got home, we celebrated with lots of s*x and a lot of laughter. We started planning - two cribs, two changing tables, double the diapers... It was overwhelming, but so incredibly wonderful. We planned about what we would be doing if we have twin daughters, or twin sons.

But when the time came, and our babies came into this world with a loud shrill cry, we found out it was a baby girl and a baby boy. Vedant was born first. I had my fingers crossed, almost losing it out of happiness and curiosity. Exactly seven minutes later, Ipshita was born.

Seeing them for the first time, so small and perfect, it was like my heart just expanded to make room for these two tiny humans. I looked at Kritika, tears streaming down both our faces as we held our babies. We were happy. Our families were happy.

To be very honest, I was terrified during my wife's delivery. Kritika was in labour for nearly 30 hours, with the twins causing the chaos in her belly and I wondered what they would do to my wife after they finally step into this world. I felt utterly helpless watching her endure so much pain.

When Vedant was born, the relief was indescribable. But then, the reality of there being another baby hit me like a life threatening accident. All the excitement from earlier vanished away. It was just fear, and only fear. Kritika was exhausted, and I was terrified that something might go wrong with the second birth, because I had literally read so many research works and magazines with such a high record of cases in which there are such problems with twin kids.

I was downright scared.

The doctor tried her best to reassure me that everything was normal, but I was a mess. Complete mess. Even more than Kritika actually was. I held Vedant close, looking at him as I tried to stay strong for Kritika. And then, Ipshita's cries filled the room, and I felt like I was finally able to breathe again.

But what actually brought a smile to my face was seeing my wife holding our babies, made out of our pure love, covered in sweat and tears, but radiating with pure joy and triumph on her face. It was the most beautiful and happy moment of my life. Even more beautiful than my wedding.
