Monumental Valentine's Days!

Our Eighth tops them all!

Only you could give birth to our twin daughters on Valentine's day.

I still remember the day you told me you were pregnant. The deer caught in headlights look you had when the doctor told us we were having twins, will forever be engraved in my mind.

The day they were born was just adventurous and hectic as our lives tend to be. I wouldn't change one minute of it, well maybe the crippling fear I felt.

I just knew you were only calling me from upstairs because you wanted off bed rest or you wanted coffee. I wasn't in the mood to rehash the same argument we been having everyday since you told me you were pregnant. Cut back on your caffeine intake means only decaffeinated coffee. Try telling a Gilmore that.

I made you promise that my princesses will not drink coffee before 13. I wanted 16 but of course you won as always.

I never imagined that you would utter the words, Logan It's time my water just broke.

I've never ran up a flight of stairs so fast in my life.

It killed me to see you doubled over in pain knowing I couldn't really do anything to ease it for you.

Ace you were so mean to me when we got to the hospital. You wouldn't let me comfort you. Hold your hand or anything.

You told me we were going to have a sexless marriage because I was never touching you again.

I never thought my sophisticated, classy, smart and beautiful wife could curse like a sailor. You proved me wrong. You used curse words I never heard before.

I know it was only because you were in pain but it took all my restraint not to laugh when you started throwing ice chips at the nurses.

After 6 excruciating hours, it was finally time for you to push.

You pushed Lovie out but Lori decided to be just as stubborn as her name sakes.

When the doctor said he was going to have to give you a emergency c section, I damn near passed out. I've never been so scared in all my life.

You was losing too much blood and Lori wasn't getting enough oxygen. I felt like I needed oxygen. It really felt like someone had sucked all the air out of the room.

The nurses handed me Lovie and I looked into her blue eyes that was a replica of yours and cried.

I prayed for the first time in years that you and Lori would both be okay.

When the doctor came out that room and told me that you were both fine, I couldn't help but pull him into a bone crushing hug while telling him thank you over and over.

Ace you finally got me back for Costa Rica. I'm truly sorry. I don't think I understood the magnitude of your fear until that day.

I walked in the room holding Lovie and watched you holding Lori to your chest.
Even week, tired, and sweaty you were still exquisite. I don't think I could ever love you more then I did at that moment.

Me and Lovie got in bed with you and Lori and I just kissed all three of my girls on the head while silently thanking god that my family were all healthy.

After everything Lovie Aurora Huntzberger was born at 4:32pm weighing 6lbs and 12ounces. Lorelai Ellie Huntzberger was born at 4:52pm weighing 6lbs and 9 ounces.

This was my absolute favorite Valentine's. The day we became a family.

AN: I'm seeing tons of votes but only one review since I started this short story. I would really love some reviews to let me know how you all are feeling about my newest creation.
