I take a deep breath to stop crying... then, I grab my daughter  "welcome to our family, Hope Beveridge Fletcher". I place a soft kiss upon the baby's forehead....then, I graze the boy's chin  "hey... Lucas... welcome to you too". Cari pulls me by the collar of my shirt to kiss my lips  "I love you so much"  I kiss her once again  "I love you more than anything, baby". the nurse comes claiming the babies  "okay, ladies... I have to take them upstairs..to do all the tests"  Cari pouts. I kiss her hand  "come on, baby..you have to rest". she gives Lucas to the woman. I caress her cheek  "they're gonna be fine..."  the doctor looks at me  "I know, I know...i have to get out of the room..after all these years, I've learned everything". I kiss my wife and then I try to pull away... I chuckle  "Cari...let me go, baby. I'm coming back with our kids, I promise..the four of them"  she nods, pouting..and then adds with her baby voice  "I love you so much". 

"yes, they're perfect. they're doing the tests but I know everything will be okay...okay, mom...don't worry...it was unexpected...I'm gonna call dad...umm...i have to go now, bye... I love you too". "Shannon...wait"  Alex follows me as I rush to the room  "why are you running?...oh"  she stops when she sees the woman with two babies in her arms  "oh my god...you fucking had twins for real"  I chuckle  "no..the whole pregnancy was a joke". "mom...are they our siblibs?"  June asks me, pointing at the babies... I smile widely  "yes...let's go meet them" I reply, grabbing her hand. we enter the hospital room all together.... Cari is whining... "babe, what is it?"  "I'm hurting". I reach her  "you are my hero... you had a multiple birth, babe...it's normal". she stretches her arms towards the babies..the nurse smiles  "they're fine...I'm gonna need you to sign the papers" I turn around to follow her...Alex is crying while Gary and June are extremely curious about the new additions of our family. I giggle  "come on, blondie...you can get closer" I tell my friend. "oh my god, they're so tiny"  I smile, looking at the interaction. then, I grab my older children  "come on...let's meet them". I sit them on the bed...June touches the babies' face  "they're small"  Cari smiles and then asks Gary  "come here, little boy". he looks shy... Cari gives him her hand but he shakes his head. I laugh  "he's so cute". 

I'm helping Cari with the gown...the babies are hungry..  "you're crazy...how are you gonna do with four kids?"  Alex asks us, looking at the struggle I'm having to keep the twins in my hands. "umm...June and Gary are gonna help us...right?"  the little girl nods...the boy looks lost in another dimension. I graze his hair  "Shanny...are you okay?"  he immediately nods, making me chuckle. then, I turn around and my heart melts... Cari is breastfeeding Lucas and Hope  "this is insane...a boob per baby"  Alex says, making me laugh...but then, I focus on the most beautiful view in the world. I caress Hope's tiny hand...she grabs one of my fingers... I feel a huge emotion..and by the looks on Alex and Cari's faces I know they're sharing this emotion with me. June grabs Lucas' hand, getting the same reaction... the older sister laughs  "he took my finger!". I look at Cari who's about to cry... I caress her hair and place a kiss on her lips  "my super woman".

"okay, mom needs to rest...let's go home"  i tell my kids..June protests  "no, I don't want to..."  "hey, little lady.auntie Alex wants to buy you an ice cream". the girl crosses her arms  "I don't care". Gary rushes to our friend's side, giving her his hand... I sigh  "June...mom is tired..you're gonna see her tomorrow"  "no, I don't want to". Cari is falling asleep...the twins are sleeping in the cribs..I'm about to lose my patience. I kneel down in front of my daughter  "there's nothing interesting here.. it's an hospital room.."  "the babies"  "oh...do you wanna stay because of them?"  she nods. I think for a second  "okay...but tonight, you're going home"  the girl smiles  "okay mommy, I love you". I turn to Alex  "I guess she's staying...i'll see you later?"  I tell her  "yes...we're gonna get the ice cream and then we're gonna head to the luna park". I kiss my son  "be a good boy..mom and i love you"  he looks down  "Gary..."  his lip is trembling  "now, you and mom love the new babies"  "aww....yes, we love them...but we love you...always". I plant multiple kisses on his face. he tightens the grip around my neck  "awww...my man...my gentleman"  he giggles  "Shanbee"  "no, I'm mom". I smile, looking at my friend and my son getting out of the room.
