Five hours into the labour Kim was finally ten centimetres dilated - It was time to push. Ron was still outside and was still feeling sick, but he raced in to see Kim when he heard about her pushing.

“Ron, if you still feel sick watching might not be the best idea.” Kim’s mother told him.

“Yeah… Wait… outside… If… You want.” Kim said between pushes and breaths.

Ron stood outside the room and tried to keep calm. He couldn’t believe that he was going to be seeing his baby soon.

"It’s a baby boy!" her mother cried with joy as a baby came out after many pushes.

The crying baby was carried off to be clean, dried etcetera. Kim thought that was the end, but no…

"Hold on. I feel another baby.” The nurse stated, her hand placed at the opening to the vagina.

"It's another baby?!" Kim’s mother gasped in shock. Kim was just as shocked.

“Keep pushing!” the brunette nurse instructed to tired Kim. "You’re having twins!"

Kim did her best despite being tired and minutes later the baby was out.

“It’s a baby girl!” the nurse told Kim who was taking breaths.

“One of each!” her mother chuckled.

Kim gave a small and tired smile. “Can I see them?”

Once both babies were dealt with and clean, the nurse gave the girl to Kim first and the boy to her mother. She looked from the girl to the boy in complete awe. She just couldn’t believe that she created them and had brought them into the world.

The nurse went and told Ron that it was over. She didn’t tell him that it was twins, because she thought it would be a fun surprise.

He entered and saw Kim holding the girl who was wearing a small pink hat.

"A baby girl!" Ron shouted with joy.

"Ron, honey.” Kim’ mother said getting his attention.

He turned towards Kim’s mother and was shocked at what he saw. “A boy?!”

“We have twins!” Kim giggled weakly. She was very tired.

Kim’s mother gave Ron the wrapped up baby boy in a soft, blue hat. He looked down at him in awe. He was gorgeous.

"Well done, Kimmy.” He whispered.

“We didn’t have many scans because of the drama between us, I wasn’t aware of how many!” Kim told the nurse.

"Well, luckily, they are both healthy and fine.” She smiled, then added, “Thought of any names yet?"

"Well, we liked Poppy or Ella for a girl, and Eric or Justin for a boy." Kim replied, smiling at Ron who stood next to her still cradling their son.

"I think we'll use Eric and Ella. Y'know because they are twins?" Ron added, “Kinda of fits with the names beginning with the letter E.”

“So it's Eric and Eric." the brunette nurse replied with a huge smile. “Welcome to the world.”

"Would you mind taking a picture?" Kim's mother asked politely.

"Sure, I don't mind. You are not the first to ask, trust Me." The nurse replied, taking a digital camera from Kim's mother.

She must have packed it previously Kim thought.

The blond nurse held the camera, ready to take the picture. Ron got closer to Kim and the two held their children close together. Kim’s mother stood next to the bed and smiled directly at the camera. The nurse took the picture and Ron kissed Kim on the head.

"Well done, sweetie." Ron whispered to Kim. “I’m proud of you.”

The nurses took the babies and placed them into little beds and kept an eye on them throughout the night. Kim was exhausted and was left to sleep and Ron and Kim's mother went home to inform other members of the family.

Ron went to his own house and told his own family the situation and everything. Kim's mother went home, told her husband and the twins what had happened. It would have been too late for Kim’s dad to come. After that she went straight to bed because she was shattered.
