The Cure

Epilogue

 Approximately 9 months later

"Push Maggie, push!" The midwife encouraged Maggie as she did her best to assist her. Jerry was sitting beside Maggie the whole time while holding her hand.

"Just a little bit more Maggie. Give this the final blow." The midwife said.

 

Maggie let out a huge grunt as she gave her best to deliver her second baby. Finally Maggie felt her stomach emptied. She looked down and saw her two babies on the nurses arms before blacking out. 

The nurses took care of the babies. They cleaned them and they brought them to the nursery after they did their job.

Jerry held Maggie's hand as she closed her eyes. "Maggie?" He called worriedly. He pinned his gaze at his wife.

"She's exhausted. She needs to rest." The midwife said to Jerry. "We will wrap things up here. Please leave the room for a moment." Jerry nodded.

Jerry carefully laid Maggie's hand beside her. He leaned over her and kissed her forehead, left the room and decided to go to the nursery room and check their babies. He walked down the hallway of the hospital as he stared at his feet. He is officially a father from now on. He continued pacing the way until he happened to met the nurse who assisted them earlier. She was holding a paper and a pen and was walking towards him cheerfully.

"Sir, can I ask you a question?" The nurse asked.

Jerry nodded in response. "What?"

"What will be the babies name?" 

Jerry thought for a moment before he answered. He had twins as his first born and whenever he thinks about twins, there is only one pair of twins that gave him so much memory. He looked at the nurse with amused face. 

"The boy's name will be Flint Spoke." He muttered. "The girl will be April Spoke."

The nurse nodded as she took down notes and left him. "Thank you sir, please excuse me." 

Jerry continued his steps towards the nursery and stood before the glass window. Just as he reached the place, the nurses also placed his babies before the huge window. The pink bed was tagged as "April Spoke". And the blue bed was tagged as " Flint Spoke".

Jerry touched the window as he felt his heart flutter in joy. He stared at the sleeping infants and imagined his life with them and their mother. He smiled at the thought. 

"Daddy." Jerry suddenly heard a child's voice. He roamed his sight and a child caught his attention. It was Miran.

"Can I see my little brother and little sister?" She was pulling down Jerry's shirt as she pleaded him to show to her, her siblings. "Please?"

Jerry smiled at her and knelt at her level. Jerry touched her cute and plump cheeks and squished it a little. "Sure." Jerry said. Joy was written all over Miran's face. She showed her father her joyful face as he carried her to see her siblings. 

"There you go." Jerry said. Miran leaned over the window and touched it as soon as she saw the babies. She stared at them with eyes full of amazement. Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she looked at them.

"I wanna play with them, someday." Miran said and looked at his daddy. "Can I?"

"Absolutely." Jerry said.
