"Aww, you're so darn gorgeous, my love," I croon to my daughter as I sway her teeny tiny body side by side.

She stares at me with those big, wide, sparkly blue eyes of which are completely identical to mine. Her nose scrunches up in this totally adorable way. 

Brandon then hands me my son, and I hand him my daughter reluctantly because she is simply a total cutie!

"Oh my gosh, you're so handsome, my love," I croon to him, cradling him. 

He looks like my girlie's bro for sure, but I don't think anybody could ever guess that he's her twin. That's because he has these small, beady, dull hazel eyes of which are completely identical to Daniel, his father (I feel so bad for both of the babies that they're cursed with such a terrible guy for a so-called father...). But he is still super adorable...his cheeks are so chubby, his hands are so little, and his nose also scrunches up.

"How did I get blessed with the most perfect children ever?" I ask rhetorically, smiling down at him and her and smiling up at Brandon.

"Hmm, let's see, you had unprotected sex with your ex-boyfriend Daniel Walker..." Jokes Brandon, grinning mischievously.

I playfully punch his shoulder and laugh. "It was a rhetorical question, you turd!"

We both laugh and continue to trade each other the babies for the next several minutes, just looking down at them and crooning words like "aww, how freaking adorable you are!" and "you're just so darn precious!". 

Just then a nurse appears with two pieces of paper that looks like birth certificates. 

"Miss Barry, you must fill out those birth certificates for your children," She informs me.

I nod my head in understanding and reply, "Right. Of course."

Yes, that's right; I decide that Brandon rightfully deserves to be the father of my babies because he's the only man in our lives who has been there for us and has supported us and encouraged us and loved us to bits and bits unlike their jackass biological father. Brandon fully accepts the position which makes me very satisfied.

And Brandon and I decide not to give the babies matchy names just because they're twins; so I name the girl Daphne Rose and Brandon names the boy Jared Asher. And I let them take Brandon's last name.

"Thanks, Brandon, for everything..." I say to my Brandy Bear with love and gratitude and happiness. I give him a loving and grateful kiss. "I love you so much, Brandy Bear."

"No problem, Allison...it is my  absolute pleasure to participate in the life of the most amazing, fascinating, wonderful, and beautiful - inside and out - young woman I ever met..." He replies, planting smooches up and down my unusually rosy cheeks. "I love you so much, Allie Bear."

Another person suddenly appears. This time it's Delilah.

"Hey, Del!" I exclaim but with a quiet voice because Daphne and Jared are asleep in their separate cots next to mine. 

"Hey, Al, hey, Brand!" She exclaims quietly, running over to us and throwing me a friendly hug. 

"I missed you," I tell her, smiling. 

"I know, it's been, like, three days since I saw you, Al," Delilah comments, sitting down at the nearby chair. "And, well, I saw Brandon this morning at school, haha."

 Brandon chuckles in response.

"Do you wanna see Daphne and Jared?" I offer, gesturing to the babies, smiling.

"Of course!" She says, brightening up.

She stands up and carries both of them ever so carefully and gently, and she manages not to wake them up. 

"They're so gorgeous, Allison," She tells me in amazement.

"I know right?" I reply, my smile never fading, my eyes twinkling.

Brandon then announces that he's legally the babies' father of which makes Delilah very content and proud.

"You'll be a great daddy," She says to him with a sincere smile. And she adds, "And Allison, you'll be a terrific mommy."

"Thanks, Del," Brandon says, his grin also never disappearing, his eyes also sparkling.

"Yeah, thanks for that sweet comment, Del, and thanks for being the greatest best friend to me," I add, my grin growing wider and bigger.

Delilah giggles then gives me another hug as well as a friendly peck on the cheek.

I'm so, so, SO blessed to have a great boyfriend and a great best friend and great two children!
