THE NANNY #BILLIONAIRE WIVES 1

EPILOGUE

Dee's POV.....

I was a nervous wreck. I barely slept last night and the fact that the girls decided to make a kicking festival in my stomach didn't help ease my nerves. Alex said it was probably because they could feel how nervous i was.
"Hey....you look beautiful, i don't think you'll even need make up." Said my elder sister, Pam, who had again flown in from Spain with her daughter, where she was now a fully fledged lecturer at a university in Barcelona.

It had been five months since the fateful disaster wedding of Cara. Stephen and Miranda were both serving time, Stephen a life sentence for murder and Miranda twenty years for associating with him.
Everyone had moved on, with majority of the Rodriguez choosing to stay for our wedding. Yes you heard me right. I'm getting married. Finally!!!

Alex didn't want to rush things but the rollercoaster our lives had been the last few months, i didn't want to waste any more time. Plus, the babies were going to come any moment, since being pregnant with twins was unpredictable. I didn't want to wait another year. I wanted us to focus on our family.

Speaking of family, both my family and the whole Rodriguez clan plus our friends were here for the big day. Alex and his gang of best friends made sure that transportation and accommodation was taken care of, though all they had to do was fly them to the island where we had been staying for the last few months. Travel restrictions and all. His mum, aunties, sisters and cousins plus my girlfriends worked together in planning the wedding arrangements and i was only called upon to approve when necessary though i trusted them completely.

Honestly though, that didn't bother me. Weddings have never been a huge deal for me. I was never one of those girls that dreamt of their big day. I could have eloped in Vegas for all i cared. But it was a big deal for both our families. Plus it would have been a good time for both families to finally meet.

We decided that we would live back in my country after we got married and settle down there. Alex wanted to expand in Africa and decided that Kenya was a good place to set up headquaters. Though he decided to leave most of the CEO work to his cousins and Cara and he would oversee to the major decisions. I was honestly happy to be going back home, close to my family. We promised to be in touch with his family and planned that all of us, our friends included would always celebrate holidays together.

We were in a good place and i prayed it stayed that way for a long time to come. We were happy, especially Zoe and Zack who couldn't wait for me to be their mum officially. Last week, they started calling me mum and i broke down at the sweet gesture. I already considered them as my own and i had vowed that even if Alex and I didn't work out, they would always be my children and i wouldn't have treated them any different. The kids are ecstatic to be moving to my country. They can't wait to make new friends, explore what Kenya had in store for them and since Zoe and Pam's daughter had fast become best friends, they couldn't have been happier.

Someone knocked on my door, bringing me back to reality and Pam opened the door, revealing my aunt or mum as i had called her since she took me and my brother in after our parents passed. Behind her was my paternal uncle, the only living uncle from that side i had left and his wife. Growing up, he had always been the father figure in our lives, especially financially and honestly i wouldn't have been where i was without him and his family being there for me. I had requested that the three of them walk me down the isle. I mean it was only fair.

"Oh my! You look beautiful my baby!" Exclaimed my mum, coming to give me a hug, tears in  her eyes.
"Oh stop mum. You'll make me cry too!" I told her as tears came to my eyes faster than i could blink. Damn being pregnant made you ten times emotional. My other aunt wasn't left behind as she came to give me a hug with tears in her eyes too.

"Please don't start guys. You'll ruin a perfectly good day." Teased my uncle and i stood up to hug him. He pulled back and looked at me, tears in his eyes too but the smile he had told me he was anything but happy.
"My girl is all grown up. Just the other day, you were dancing lingala like a crazy child in cute pigtails." He said.
"Well, your grandchildren will now be taking that mantle." I told him and at the mention of them, the two angels started kicking like crazy, making us laugh.
"Well, ill tell you what i told your cousin when she got married. Even when you get married, you will still always be my baby girl."
"Aww....i love you too. So much. Thank you for everything." I tolf him, embracing him.
"Well, we came to check if you were ready. Its almost time." Said his wife beside him.
"Im as ready as ill ever be." I told them.
"Not yet. Give her ten more minutes." Interrupted Pam, taking me back in front of the mirror.

Just as i was about to take a seat down, i felt something warm trickle down my legs. Then it was followed by a sharp pain that made me cry out loud, alerting everyone.
"Oh gosh! Dee, are you okay?" Asked my mum, coming to my side.
"I think...i think im going into labor." I said just as another sharp pain came. Oh no no no....they werent supposed to be here for another month.
"Right now!" Exclaimed my uncle.
"Yes!!! Call Alex. Call the doctor." I exclaimed as i was taken to bed to lie down. The sharp pain came again and this time tears came with it.
"Okay. Relax. Take deep breaths. Everything will be okay. Dont panic." My aunt came to my side, taking my hand which she rubbed in soothing circles trying to comfort me.

Alex came in a few minutes later, though to be honest, it felt like a lifetime, rushing in lik a tornado. He reached my side and took my other hand in his.
"Hey, hey. Its going to b okay." He said reassuringly.
"Easy for you to say. You aint the one being torn into two!" I said, screaming as another wave of pain came.

Luckily, we had a doctor nearby and although he wasn't far away, i felt like he was on the other side of the world. If this is what giving birth felt like, i officially respected the women who went through this over and over again. I was reconsidering ever giving birth again.

Fourteen hours later, the Rodriguez family welcomed two beautiful bouncing baby girls.  Willow Achieng' Rodriguez and Barley Anyango Rodriguez. Yeah we apparently got the gender of one wrong but it didn't matter anyway. They were here. With us.

"Guess the wedding will have to wait now." I said a few hours later after they were born. It was only Alex, Zoe, Zack, I and the girls who were asleep in our arms in the room. The older siblings had joined their sisters an hour ago, crushing on the large bed i currently occupied.
"That doesn't matter. We can even get married officially when we are in our eighties. You are mine and i don't need a ring or some papers to show the world that." He said kissing me on the head.
And from the festivities outside in the garden, our guests were enjoying themselves to the fullest. We may have not gotten married as planned but we ended up having our kids with us and i was content.
"Thank you for giving me hope and lighting my world." I told him.
"Its should be me thanking you for giving me a reason to continue living. I love you." He said, tears in his eyes.
"I love you too." I replied before kissing him on the lips. But before i could deepen it...
"Eeeewww!" I heard from beside me, Zack looking at us in disgust and we burst out laughing, waking up the rest of th gang.

And even with the chaos around us, i smiled, happy that i had finally gotten my happily ever after.

Th end....
