Five hours after they arrived at the hospital, Rebecca gave birth to two healthy twin boys. Rebecca was resting in bed, and John was sitting in the chair next to her.

Rebecca looked down at the baby boy sound asleep in her arms.

Rebecca: We really need to give them names.

John: I know, have you thought of any?

Rebecca: I have some ideas.

John: Tell me what you're thinking.

Rebecca looked at her son one more time before saying?

Rebecca: Caleb John Hollar.

John: I love it, now we just need a name for baby b.

Rebecca: How would you feel about naming him, Mason Finley?

John: Mason Finley, it's different. Caleb John and Mason Finley I love it.

John sat next to Rebecca on the bed; he leaned in and kissed her.

John: You did great babe, I'm so proud of you.

John: Welcome to the world, Caleb and Mason.

Rebecca just smiled at John as she watched him hold Mason in his arms.

John: I'm going to go tell my dad and brother that you're ok.

John placed Mason down in the bassinet and moved him closer to Rebecca. John left the room, and Rebecca was alone with the boys for the first time.

John came back five minutes later with his dad and brother.

Ron: Hey, Rebecca, how are you feeling?

Rebecca: Tired, but really happy.

Don: Congratulations Rebecca.

Rebecca: Thank you.

John: Dad sit down; I want to introduce you to your grandsons.

Don sat down in the chair, and John handed Mason to him.

John: This is Mason Finley Hollar, Mason this is your grandpa.

Don sat and bonded with his grandson while Ron bonded with his other nephew.

Ron: So, who am I holding?

Rebecca: You are holding Caleb John.

Don: Are you planning to go back to New York right away?

John: We haven't had a chance to talk about that yet. Rebecca will be released tomorrow, then we will come back to the house, and then we will make our plans.

Don: We are going to head out give you guys a chance to rest, but we will pick you up tomorrow.

John: That sounds good, dad; thanks.

Don and Ron left, giving them some time alone.

Rebecca fell asleep, and John sat in the chair by her bed, holding both of his sons in his arms. John sat there watching Rebecca sleep, he looked down, and both boys were asleep as well. John couldn't believe how much he already loved his sons as soon as they were born and he saw them for the first time he didn't want to be away from them.

The nurse came in a little later to check on Rebecca and the boys. John was the only one awake.

Nurse: You should sleep when they are sleeping.

John: I can't stop starring at them.

Nurse: You're a proud new dad, I understand I've seen it many times before. Your wife is going to need your help when they wake up so I would get some sleep while you can.

The nurse took one of the twins and put him down while John placed the other down. John went back and sat in the chair, he closed his eyes; and drifted off.

Later on in the night, the boys started to fuss, Rebecca woke up and saw that John was asleep, so she hit the button for the nurse.

Nurse: Everything ok?

Rebecca: Yeah, I was just wondering if you could give me a hand.

The nurse pushed the boys closer to the bed so that Rebecca would be able to pick them up and feed them.

John woke up while Rebecca was feeding Caleb.

John: Hey, why didn't you wake me up; I would have helped you.

Rebecca: I didn't want to wake you, the nurse said you just fell asleep not long ago.

John: I'm awake now; how can I help?

Rebecca: Can you take Caleb and burp him while I feed Mason.

John: Yep.

John stood up, picked up Mason, put him in Rebecca's arms, and took Caleb and burped him. John placed Caleb back in the bassinet, then burped Mason and put him down.

Rebecca: Come, sit next to me.

John sat on the bed next to her, she leaned her head on his shoulder, and he kissed her forehead.
