Only his surrogate

Fourty four - 3 months later

- April -

I was officially the size of a house. I had to take maternity leave early simple reason I couldn't walk for a matter of 10 minutes without aching or getting pains somewhere I didn't think pain was doable.

Leyton spent as much time in his office as possible before the babies come; now I was at home there wasn't a lot for me to do.

The nursery was decorated ready for our arrivals, I was informed by my midwife to expect not to go full term, as that's not expected when you're carrying twins.

So I always made sure my hospital bag was with me at all times.

Maggie and Sean moves away ... it wasn't a decision made lightly it was a joint decision, they loved Greece so much they got offered job opportunities. It would of been silly to not accept it.

We had our last few days together we went shopping, dinner ... got all of our conversations into three days. We keep in contact which is all I can ask for.

I had a month left and I was so ready for these two to arrive.
We already chose our names but they were staying a secret until birth.

I had nothin to do! So I took the idea and made dinner for us both this evening, any chance we get we spend as a couple because as everyone knows when you're parents you don't get enough time together.

I cooked his favourite - steak. He arrived home at 6:30pm! Just in time, the table was set the candles were lit.

"What's all this?" He smiles as he approaches the kitchen. "Well seen as I don't have much to do anymore I thought I would cook us dinner ... and we'll you work hard you deserve it"

"Well it's beautiful thank-you baby"

We spent the evening cuddled on the sofa watching movies ... the babies were more active than normal and I didn't feel myself.

As I fell asleep upon Leytons lap, a sharp pain went through my stomach to my groin. It woke me up in a start.

"Shit" I gasped clutching the pillow tight. "Leyton!! Wake up!!" I tapped his leg vigorously.
"April?" He startled himself. "What's wrong?"
"I ... don't know. I've got pain all around my stomach"

Surely this wasn't normal?

Now I was scared.
