A Kiss of Goodbye

47: Babies Are Safe

                        It's the best thing I have heard in my life. "Your babies are safe, you are safe. You are just a little stressed. Stay away from it. But you have to stay for the night for observation. I will call your partner." I was about to protest but I don't have enough energy for it.

                     "Hi!" He looked at me dearly but remorseful. I turned my head to the side still thinking if I should listen to what he would say. I'm not ready for all his lies. He stayed at the foot of my bed waiting for me to say something.

                     "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry for being so impulsive. I loved you Aevey and I still do." He grabbed the opportunity I silently made for him. -"How can you tell me that when I have been calling, texting, messaging you non stop making a fool out of myself expecting that one day you would return any of my calls or reply to my texts and messages? But you didn't, for 5 months, I have been longing for your presence although I kept on denying it. Just to save myself from the embarassment. People asked me about my babies' father but I couldn't tell them. Oww." I felt a sudden pang in my stomach, reminding me of the situation.

                       "Aevey, slow down. You are hurting yourself." He paused for a moment and sighed. "I caught into an accident that day I asked you to be my girlfriend, after I left you I went straight to the bar. I accidentally stepped on stray glass bottle, slipped and hit my head on a sharp rock. I had a deep concussion that left me in coma for 6 weeks, got amnesia and reversible paralysis for 3 long months. I can give you my medical records to prove that I didn't stay away from you on purpose." He explained with sadness in his tone, not moving.

                              All the doubts and disbelief has been lifted up. Why didn't I think of it? Was I that selfish and inconsiderate? "I heard you say our babies, what do you mean?" I was snapped out from my thoughts as soon as he asked me. He seemed to be truthful with his words; he deserves to know. I slightly raised my arm as a gesture for him to come nearer.

                         -"I am carrying twin baby boys." I said as I lightly squeezed his hand. He is now seating near the headboard close to my upper body. "And the father?" He playfully asked, although he seemed to know it. -"I only had sex with you freak!" I slapped his arm and he squeaked like a girl. We both laughed at how it ended up.

                           -"Gregg! What about the marriage? You are still getting married right?" I asked him with difficulty but I have to know, I need to know where I should stand. "I will not force you to stay. You have told me from the beginning but I did not back down. You don't owe me your attention. Letting you know that I am carrying your babies is more than enough for me." I told him while he kept touching my baby bump.

                              "There will be no more marriage Aevey. Few weeks after my accident, the company received notice from the investors I was desperately waiting for. However the company merge still happened. My father gambled half of his share for it. We have been constantly receiving project contracts from then on. My father has to take over while I was still not well and able. The company is slowly going back on it's track."

                         The happiness I felt right now is indescribable. I have never seen this coming. I've only been preparing myself for the worst not for the best.

                       We both introduced eachother to our parents. And I introduced him as the father of my babies to Hal and Brien. He was taken aback with the revelation but accepted it nonetheless.

                        We decided to name our boys "Atlantis Greggor" and "Akker Greggor" taking my name's initial letter and Gregg added in his name.
