Kenneth took a picture of his twin boys and posted them on his social media but kept their faces hidden. He knew when Nkuli woke up she was going to scold him for posting them so soon but he had to share first with his followers. He kissed them before recalling that he had not called anyone to notify them that his sons were here. Nkuli had had a successful operation three hours ago and the boys had no problems even though they came a month too soon. They were even the same weight as his older twins who were full term.
' Hi'
Nkuli greeted him after she woke up to him starring at the boys. He had explained himself when he supported her during the procedure. He had even told her what Jessica tried to do. To think she had warned him about this but he felt then that she was just being jealous.
' Hey. I think they'll be the most peaceful of our children. They have been sleeping since they got here.'
' Probably just exhausted from showing up a month too early but could you bring them so I can breastfeed.'
Kenneth gently placed the first baby on her side and she placed her arm underneath him for support while feeding. She brushed her nipple against his lip to wake him up and without opening his eyes he latched onto the breast and suckled for his life.
' Are you okay?'
He asked concerned when her face contorted in a grimace of pain.
' I'm fine, just the uterus contracts when you breastfeed so it's a bit painful.'
' Okay, do you need me to do anything?'
She replied no just as his phone rang and she knew it was Jessica since she was the only one who would call this late. Nkuli did not like how he ended the call just as she did not believe that he did not sleep with her when she tried to seduce him and that this was the first time she tried to get him to sleep with her.
' You're ignoring her calls?, what are you hiding Kenny?'
' I am not hiding anything. I just want to spend time with you and the boys without any interruption.'
Which was completely true on his part. Jessica did not really need him at this time and he was certain she was about to be on some bullshit because she had called earlier because she missed him.
' Yeah whatever. Please hand his brother.'
This was supposed to be a special moment between the two but there was too much tension for them to enjoy it.
' I am sorry.'
' For what?'
' For not believing you when you warned me about her.'
As much as she wanted to rub his nose in it, she did not. She accepted his apology and kissed him when he asked for it to prove she was not mad.
' Sorry to interrupt but I have to check on mommy.'
Kenneth took the baby from her and rocked him to sleep while the nurse checked her incision and vital data. She left thirty minutes later after giving her pain medication. Kenneth put the twins in the cot provided by the hospital and spooned with her.
' I am really sorry for everything I've put you through.'
