This Time I Will Not Leave Your Side

Epilogue

The twins were born four months later on a beautiful spring day, both of them girls. Their birth left Wei Ying totally and utterly exhausted, but nothing could put a damper on the joy on his face when Wen Qing told him that they were both girls. He looked over to where his grandmother and another healer were cleaning the two newborn baby girls while Wen Qing cleaned him and with the help of an assistant they took of the soil sheets and place clean ones on the bed before helping Wei Ying back on the bed once again.

"Thank you, Qing-jie."

He said softly as tears stung his eyes. He did not even know that the tears had escaped his eyes, not until Wen Qing wiped it away tender and carefully. A small happy smile on her face as she looked at her brother.

"No need to thank me. You did all the work A-Ying. "

She said softly as she talked past the knot in her throat.

"Well, let me go and inform your husband and the boys and A-Ning. I know they will burst in here if I don't."

She said with a soft chuckle, and Wei Ying nodded his head at her. His eyes shone with tears as he looked at her. Wen Qing turned on her heels and walked out of the bedroom. Boashan turns around with two clean babies tightly wrapped in their white blankets with soft blue clouds and pink blossom flowers beautifully weaved into the fabric.

"Congratulations, A-Ying. They are beautiful and perfect."

She spoke softly as she walked over to her grandson, who had stretched his arms out, ready to take them into his arms.

"Thank you, grandmother."

He answered with a loving smile as she placed the two girls into his arms carefully. Wei Ying looked down at them as soon as they were placed in his arms. Wei Ying smiled, stretched across his whole face as he took in the two babies.

"They are perfect."

He whispered and looked at his grandmother, who watched him with a softness filled with love.

"I will go and warm some milk for them so they can be fed."

She said as she gently rubbed Wei Ying's cheek. He nodded without looking at her, and she turned around and walked out of the room.

As soon as the door opened, A-Zhan and the boys and Wen Ning attention immediately went towards it. Wen Qing stepped outside with a tired smile she looked at them before she spoke.

"Congratulations, A-Zhan, you and A-Ying have two beautiful girls. "

She informed him, and tears flowed down his face as he looked at Wen Qing in disbelief.

"Both of them?."

He whispered out with difficulty, not trusting his voice as he dropped to his knees.

"Yes."

She answered as the A-Yuan and A-Ji kneeled next to their father, their arms flung around him in a hug. Wen Ning had a soft smile on his face as he looked at the three.

"Do you want to meet your baby girls A-Zhan?."

Wen Qing asked, and A-Zhan lifted his head and nodded it furiously. Wen Qing chuckles softly as she stretches her hand out, and he takes it, allowing her to pull him up. Once he was standing, he wiped his face and walked with shaky legs through the door.

"Boys, you and A-Ning will meet them soon. We don't want to overwhelm your father he just gave birth and is tired."

Wen Qing said as she patted the two boys' heads.

"We understand Qing-jie."

The boys answered but were a little disappointed that they could not go in with their a-die to meet their little sisters. Wen Qing turned just as Boashan stepped through the door after meeting A-Zhan halfway out of the bedroom.
