-----9 years and 5 months after the end of season 3-----

Delfi was standing in a spare room which should be turned into a room for her and Pedro's twins. She was looking at Pedro, who was standing on a stepladder and was painting the whole room with orange.

Delfi was now 21 weeks along, which meant that she had already planned everything about the babies room, their clothes and stroller, and all those baby things.

Pedro had painted two walls when he stated. "I need a break, my arms are hurting from all the painting. I'll finish it tomorrow." Delfi looked at him in disbelief.

"How tomorrow? I understand that you need a break, take a rest for as long as you want, but it has to be finished today. Tomorrow I wanted to place in there the furniture."

Pedro started laughing. "Delfi, please, tell me that it's a joke. You can't place there the furniture, the walls will be still wet. We have to wait at least one week until it wither itself. If you don't wait, the walls will be moldy and that's not healthy to live in moldy rooms."

Delfi thought about it for a while, then sighed. "I'm sorry, Pedro, I didn't realize that. But what do I do now? I had everything planned perfectly."

Pedro had quickly climed down the ladder and rushed over to Delfi. He started whispering soothingly. "Delfi, it's no big deal, darling. We'll take here the furniture other time. The most important thing now is to relax and stay healthy. Come on, let's have a rest, lie down on the couch or something and I'm going to make you a cup of tea, yes?"

Delfi smiled at him amorously. "Thank you, Pedro. I don't know what would I do, if I didn't have you." She hugged him in the same moment when Pedro exclaimed warningly. "Oops, Delfi, be careful, I am all orange from the paint!"

But it was late, Delfi had hugged him already. Pedro looked at her waitingly, expecting a monologue about how the dress she was wearing was expensive, but nothing came out of her mouth.

After a while Delfi started laughing and Pedro joined her. She laughed. "I look like some painter. Never mind, I'm going to change into some other clothes and you should do the same. I'll wash it later."

Delfi changed into new clothes way faster than Pedro, so when Pedro came to the living room, he found his wife lying on the couch. Every five seconds she was changing her position, in an desperate wish to find some in which she would feel comfortable.

After few more minutes Pedro had enough. He asked caringly. "What's wrong? You've got the backache once again?" Delfi whined. "Yes. My back hurts and I'm fed up with it."

Pedro got closer to her and offered. "I can massage your back if you want." Delfi lit up. "Yes? And will you do that for me, please? It's terrible!" Pedro smiled softly. "Of course, darling."

Delfi sighed in relief, when Pedro started massaging her back. She stated. "If you told me a year ago that the pregnancy pains are stronger when you're expecting twins, I wouldn't believe you."

Pedro laughed, but then got more serious. "I'm sorry that you have to go through this, darling. I would take the pain instead of you if I could. But it will be worth it in the end. We are expecting two healthy children, which is amazing, don't you think?"

Delfi nodded and lit up, as always when she was talking about her babies. "Yes, it's amazing. I can't wait to finally meet them and hold them in my arms." She smiled happily. Pedro nodded with a soft expression on his face. "Yes, me too. I'm very curious how they look like."

Delfi smiled. "I bet that they look like you." Pedro disagreed with her. "No, I think that they look like you and have your beautiful eyes." He carressed her cheek. Delfi blushed, but then she remembered something.

Pedro noticed how she tensed and asked. "What's wrong?" But Delfi just exclaimed, completely horrified. "Oh no! Pedro, we still didn't choose any baby names! We have to do it now!"

Pedro widened his eyes. "How is this even possible? How could we forget to think about the names?!" Delfi whined. "I don't know! That's terrible!"

Pedro then realized that he should be the sensible one, since Delfi's hormones caused the fluctuations of her moods very quickly. So he took a deep breath and took Delfi's hand. He said calmingly.

"Delfi, try to calm down. We still have at least three months to decide and that's a lot of time. Relax. We'll find the right ones, I promise, but you have to compose yourself, yeah?" he smiled at her tenderly. Delfi took a deep breath and nodded. "Yeah, you're right. I'm sorry, Pedro. You have to be tired of me, I'm so hysteric now."

Pedro smiled and held her hand. "Me? Tired of you? Never. I love you, Delfi and I understand that it's going on a lot of in your head, in your body and in your life as well. But as long as we're together, nothing can hurt you. I love you, never forget it."

Delfi smiled. "Thank you, honey. I love you too." Pedro then deleted the gap between them and kissed her lips softly, so she was feeling like some princess.

When they pulled away, Pedro had placed his hand over Delfi's big baby bump and whispered. "Hello, twins. How are you today? Get ready, today we're going to pick out names for you. I hope that you will like them. We love you. But don't be naughty again, mommy needs sleep and last night you didn't let her sleep at all."

He was reffering to the babies movements inside of Delfi's belly last night, which caused that Delfi slept only two hours in the night, because the twins wouldn't let her sleep. Pedro was tired, but he stayed up all night with Delfi out of solidarity.

Delfi laughed. "It was very nice of you that you stayed up all night with me, but tonight I can't let you do that again. You need to sleep. And we have to think about the names." Pedro agreed. "Yes, let's go. Altough Nico told me that when he and Jim were discussing baby names they argued almost constantly."

Delfi glared at him seriously. "That can't happen. We're a great team." Pedro sat down at the kitchen table and nodded. "Yes, we are. What about Malena or Magdalena for a girl? And for a boy...Agustín?"

Delfi was already shaking her head. "No, no, no. These names are too archaic, especially Magdalena. What about...Helena or Ana? Or Xabiani?"

Pedro said dismissively. "No. These names are too common, everyone is named like this." Delfi sighed. "I guess that Nico was right." Pedro looked at her intently. "Don't give up as easily, we have just started."

Pedro was reading the names in the book and once in a while he said. "No." Delfi was searching through the Internet. But then suddenly, Pedro exclaimed proudly. "I have a perfect name for our boy. Listen. Orlando Arias. What do you think?"

Delfi lit up. "This name is beautiful, Pedro! I like it! So we have a name for our boy." Pedro laughed. "Yes, I'm good! Let's continue with a name for our girl."

Delfi suddenly shouted with an victorious smile. "I found it. What do you think? Gloria Arias." Pedro looked at her satisfiedly. "Beautiful name for our beautiful girl. I guess that's it. It wasn't that bad."

Delfi smield and told her baby bump. "Good evening, sweethearts. We have names for you. Welcome, Gloria and Orlando. Gloria means 'glory', which I'm sure you'll achieve. And Orlando means 'heroic', and I'm sure that you'll be as brave as your daddy, which means that you'll be a hero. Both of you will be strong and famous." She smiled. Pedro carressed her belly.

Both of them felt a movement inside of Delfi's baby bump. Pedro smiled. "Looks like we picked out good names."
