Bad versus Bad

Chapter Thirty-Nine

Havyn's P.O.V.

My eyes flutter open at the feeling of someone stroking my hair, the feeling that I am all too familiar too. Without any moment of hesitation, I know that it is Kai. My mind feels fuzzy, groggy. My body aches all over. I reach for my stomach, noticing that it is not filled my baby anymore. I can feel that he is not there anymore. I go into panic mode. I begin to hyperventilate. The faster my heart goes, the more crazy a beeping sound rings in my ears. A sudden realization hits me like a bag of bricks. Walking across the road, a pair of blinding headlights, and then darkness. I was hit by a car. My heart starts racing even faster.

"My baby!" I scream. "Where is my baby?"

Tears start falling down my cheeks. 

"Calm down," Kai tries soothing me. "Our babies are okay. They are in the nursery now, waiting on their beautiful mommy to wake up so that they you can all be formally introduced. You have to calm down first. They will be able to sense you freaking out."

"Why do you keep using plurals?" I ask, confused. "Like they and their."

A bright smile spreads across his face.

"You had twins, Hav," Kai says, grabbing onto my hand. "We have a beautiful daughter and a handsome son. The doctor said they must have missed the extra heartbeat during the ultrasound. It isn't often they miss another baby, but it happens."

"We have twins?" I ask, tears still falling down my cheeks. "Two little babies?"

"Two little babies," Kai echoes. 

"I want to see them," I say. "I need to see them."

Kai clicks a button on the side of my bed. A nurse rushes in seconds later, who leaves just as quickly to get my son and daughter from the nursery. She returns with pushing one clear bassinet, holding two babies, one wrapped in pink and the other in blue. Kai sucks in his breath, this clearly being the first time he has seen them. I know then that he waited on me without asking him the question myself. The nurse picks my baby girl up first, laying her on my right arm, and soon after laying my baby boy on the left. As I look at their sleeping faces, I feel my entire life being complete. I look over to Kai, finding tears running down his face. 

"We made those," he says, sitting on the edge beside me. He grabs our baby girl's hand. She wraps her tiny hand around one of his long fingers. "We made these beautiful babies together. They are our children. I have always had one day that was the best of my life, that day being the day you kissed me to shut me up in detention. However now sitting here with you and our beautiful twins, this day is by far the best one yet."

I cry softly at his words. 

"I know that we are going to have days that are going to be rocky," he starts again. "But I know that we can get through anything together. We have been through hell and back, and now look where we are. You were right the other when you said we hold the world in our hands. Right here in this moment, I know that we do. These two little ones are going to be those worlds we hold in our hands, just like you are another one I will hold. You three will be my universe."

I press my mouth to his. 

"I love you," I whisper. "I love all three of you with my everything."

"Have you picked names yet?" Finn asks, sitting on the couch right beside my bed, my baby boy in his arms. Sarah is sitting beside him with my girl. "They can't always be referred to as baby boy or baby girl. You two do know that right?"

"I think we have," I nod my head, smiling. Kai squeezes my hand, smiling just as bright. "It took some careful consideration, but I think we came up with two we both loved. For our little handsome guy, Everett. For our beautiful baby girl, Everly."

"Those are perfect names," Sarah says, stroking Everly's dark hair. 

"Knock, knock," Mrs. Prince calls out, walking into the room. She hugs Kai and me tightly, before directing her attention Everett and Everly. "Oh my. They are both so beautiful. Everly looks so much like you, Havyn, and Everett looks like you, Kai. I can already tell these two are going to be heart stoppers when they are older, that is if Kai ever lets our little Everly date."

"Maybe when she is thirty," Kai adds in, making us all laugh. 

"No girl is getting their hands on my little man," I add, smiling. "Just like girl will ever love him as much as I do."

"How are you feeling, Havyn?" Mrs. Prince asks. 

"I am doing fine," I answer. "My hip hurts a lot, but that makes since with it broken and all. I can't honestly feel very much with my sole attention on these two. They are going to get me through my recovery."'

"We all are," Kai smiles.  "We are all in this together until the very end."

This is very last chapter, and it was hard writing it. It has been a long journey, but not one that I wouldn't take a thousand times over again. I hope all of you enjoyed reading as much as I enjoyed writing. Thank you all.

There will be an epilogue, and possible a book about the twins in their teenager years.
