It has been at least 3 hours and I am 6 cm dilated. My parents arrived, Alya and them sat in the room with me until I had to be checked. I had been getting up and walking around the room, to help dilate faster. It worked until the contractions got to the point I couldn't stand.
---
I finally ate and it's been at least 4 hours since I got here. I am now 7 cm dilated, and it seems I am dilating slower. Contractions are getting closer together and are painful. I cried multiple times and my body kept shaking. It was the worst pain I have ever experienced in my life.
---
It's been at least an hour and I am 8 cm dilated. Alya decided to go back to my apartment and sleep, my parents stayed with me. I was laying down when the nurse came in.
"Ms Dupain-Cheng, you can get an epidural if you would like." The nurse notified me.
"What happens if I get the epidural?" I questioned.
"It will relieve the pain of your contractions." The nurse said smiling.
"Can something go wrong with the epidural?" I asked.
"It could cause nerve damage." The nurse stated. I looked at her, my eyes half lidded.
"I'll pass." I sighed.
"You sure?" The nurse asked.
"Yes, I am sure." I said closing my eyes.
"Okay." The nurse said smiling and then leaving the room.

After she left I drifted off into a peaceful sleep. I woke up half an hour later and had very bad contractions. I started to wish I took the epidural. The nurse came in and checked how dilated I was. I was 9 cm dilated and I should deliver soon. I groaned and fell back asleep.
---
1 hour later I woke up. The contractions were getting closer and worse. I kept taking deep breaths and exhaling slowly. I was still 9 cm dilated when the nurse came to check on me. I felt terrible. Half an hour Alya came back and talked to me a bit. The nurse came in and checked me.
"You're now 10 centimeters dilated! We are going to tell your maternal doctor and you should be ready to deliver soon!" The nurse cheerfully announced.
I just smiled and cried. I was so happy, it was almost over. It hurt so bad and it would be over soon. I looked down at my stomach and whispered "Come on Louis. Mommy is getting tired." Alya and my mom heard me, and laughed.
---
It's been a few more minutes and I was really regretting not taking the epidural. It hurt so much but my doctor had just walked in with some nurses. I was getting ready to deliver so my dad left the room, my mom stood at foot of the bed with a camera and Alya was by my head.

The doctor got everything set up and got me into position. Alya held my hand and my mom turned on the camera. I was about to have my baby boy.
---
"I see his head! Keep pushing mama, he's almost here!" The doctor encouraged.
"You can do it Mari!" Alya cheered.
"I c-can't do this." I said breathing heavily.
"Yes you can, I believe in you." Alya encouraged.
I pushed again. It hurt so badly, I was sweating so much.
"Almost there! Just one more push!" The doctor cheered.
I took a breath and pushed once more. I heard my mom gasp and saw Alya smiling.

The nurse cut the umbilical cord, wrapped him up in the hospital blanket, and handed him to me. I smiled and looked at my baby. As I cradled him, I had this undescribable feeling as I looked at him. He had little black fuzz for hair, his skin was soft, his cry was adorable, and his eyes were so beautifully green. I didn't even realize I was cleaning him as I held him.
My mom smiled as she took a photo of me and the baby. I gasped as another pain hit me. The doctor immediately got back in his place and gasped.

"There is another one!" The doctor announced.
"ANOTHER?!" I gasped.
"Get the baby." The doctor instructed.
The nurse came and took Louis from me, I felt more pain. And I thought I was done.

I grabbed Alya's hand and my mom got her camera ready. I took deep breaths and gave the biggest push I could.
"The head is out, give me another big push!" The doctor instructed.
I took another deep breath and pushed with all my might.
"It's a girl!" My mom cheered.
"A girl?" I asked hazily.
"Yep." The nurse said wrapping her up and handing her to me.
I looked at my surprised baby and giggled. She had a dark blonde swirl and her cry was sweet. I looked at my mom and smiled.

It has been some time since the delivery and my twins were taken to be cleaned. They brought them back with little hats on and swaddled in a blanket. Alya and my mom were excited, and held them as soon as I got done. My dad was confused as to why there were two but I guess he figured it out.

The next four days I spent in the hospital were okay. Alya had to leave after the first day and my dad went home to run the bakery. Mama stayed and set up another crib up at my apartment for me. She helped me get the babies home and showed me how to make a bottle for them. She spent 2 days with me and then she went home. I was stressed but happy. I named my surprise baby Emma, after her dad's mom.

It has been a month and I have been busting my butt. I took care of my babies, went to class, and had a job. My friend Carrie babysat for me while I worked, and I took my classes online. My clothing line has been doing very well and I make a lot from it. I use the money from my website for diapers, baby wipes, clothes, and toys. My mom bought me a baby swing and a bouncer. She suggests I tell Adrien so it will be easier on me, but I have come so far without him, why ask for help now? I created secret social medias and blocked risky people. I posted about mom life and baby photos. People enjoyed my photos and I got a lot of followers and likes.

I walked into my apartment and was greeted by Carrie. I paid Carrie 20 euros and she left. I unloaded my groceries and checked on my babies. I changed Emma's diaper and then made bottles for them. I made myself dinner and gave the babies a bath. Once they were bathed they easily fell asleep. I then finished some assignments and headed to bed.

TBC!
