Conor's P.O.V

I drove as fast as I could to St Thomas's Hospital. Me, Jack and Milena jumped out from the car I ran to Lillie's side opening the door, I can see that she is in agony, I wish I could take the pain away from her,

"It's fine baby, you and the twins will be fine," I say kissing Lillie's temple,

"CAN WE GET SOME HELP OVER HERE?!" Milena and Jack shout. A paramedic come running over to my car,

"Hello, sweetheart, what's your name?" A female paramedic asks

"Lillie-Louise Bennett," Lillie says grabbing onto my arm in pain,

"Are you in labour?" The paramedic asks,

"Yes I am,"

"How far into your pregnancy are you?"

"Just gone past nine months,"

"Ok, I'm gonna get you on a wheelchair and take you into the maternity ward. Are you her partner?" The paramedic asks,

"Yes, I am. I'm Conor Maynard, this is my brother Jack and our friend Milena," I say going out of my mind with worry,

"Ok, come this way," the paramedic says rushing Lillie through on a wheelchair, I grab onto Lillie's hand, I don't want to let go of her.

Ten minutes later we're all in the maternity ward. I've rang Lillie's family telling them that she's in labour and to get down here as soon as possible. Lillie keeps asking for her Mum, she really wants her here for the birth,

"How far away is Mum?" Lillie says before taking some more gas and air,

"Twenty minutes away, your Dad picked her up. He's on his way with his family,"

"Wow, I'm surprised. Let's hope they're being nice," Lillie laughs a little, again before taking some more gas and air,

"Lillie you're ten centimetres, which means you're now fully dilated, we want to to start making small pushes now," the midwife Helen, says to her,

"I need Mu-" Just before Lillie can say anything else her family walks in. Her Mum runs to her bedside grabbing her hand,

"Come on darlin', we'll do this together," Her Mum smiles stroking her hair and kissing her head,

Twenty minutes later, Lillie's pushes are becoming more frequent and intense, the twins are on their way!

Lillie's P.O.V

The pain is excruciating, harrowing, agonising, extreme. I have never experienced this pain before, it's the worst pain I've ever experienced. I am so happy that I have my family here for support, I just really want to meet our babies,

"Come one Lillie, one more big push and baby number one will be born," the midwife says. I take one big breath in and push as hard as my body can go. I feel a small sense of relief, I can hear our baby crying, but before I can hold my baby the pain returns with a vengeance.

After another five minutes the babies have both been born! They're both brought over to me and Conor, we're both a crying mess. Happy tears of course. This feeling is just overwhelming, I'm an emotional reck! Our families are filming these moments, I could've sworn I saw Jack vlogging it.

We done it. Conor and I are now parents! I want to spend the rest of my life with him and our babies. I am so happy and grateful that I have him, if I didn't have him I wouldn't be feeling these feelings that I do right now, with you our two little girls and with being with the man of my dreams.

The journey that we're now gonna take, is going to be a change, however, it's something that we can wait for.
