Chapter 89

Babies

One more week to go before the twins join us at last inside the house. The four months that passes by was a stressful one I wanted to forget. It was nerve cracking watching everyday your babies battling for their survival. Once Doctor Ibrahim and his team of interns and nurses exit the room where the twins are place, five or more family members demanded for news. This happens four to six times a week. The hospital staffs were already giving us this look of curiosity. Not only are there a lot of people visiting the twins, bodyguards are always stationed outside the room screening everyone who wasn't part of the family that  goes inside. The doctor and his teams are the only medical staffs allowed in there to check the boys.

This tightening of securities are a precautionary measure for the twins and our welfare. James is still out there just taking his time to make a strike. According to the intel from the Crevestovik's private investigators, James had been busy selling illegal drugs and weapons somewhere in Texas, but he had been sending his men to terrorize us. 

There had been killings according to my eavesdropping despite how cautious Trench and his dad were whenever they received phone calls from whoever they hired for the job. Not from our side but from the adversaries. Sometimes the compound's alarm system is triggered to alert us that someone is daring to break in. I heard gunshots on one occasion before silence follows. My soon to be husband assured me that everything is being taken care of. If only that's easy to feel, because my anxiety level was so high with everything that's been happening. Add up that postpartum syndrome I am feeling triggered by my babies delicate condition. Trench was force to invite a therapist inside the house to check on me. 

As of the moment, I am taking pills to cope up with everything. And I think my daughter's cheerfulness helped too. She was like a light of positivity whenever my depression comes incapacitating my thin hope. She always chanted that her baby brothers will be fine and they will all play together when they come home.

Thankfully she was right of the boys being fine now. The intervention and medical care was a success beyond expectation quite frankly. The constant medical attention did it despite the monstrous fee that accumulated for the past months. Two hundred fifty thousand dollars in total. I'm grateful we afforded that amount. Or we will pay that amount for the rest of our lives. I take that challenge any day if the consequences are a great success in the end.

"One week more," I muttered to nobody. Thoughts of my boys finally coming home made me sigh in relief. This is the news we had been waiting ever since Doctor Ibrahim told us that the twins are progressing healthily. With their progression I finally started to recover slowly from my depression. I'm eating normally now compared to my ill appetite for the past months. In spite of my recent pregnancy weight, it took only weeks for me to lose all of those fats without even exercising. It alarmed Trench and my parents that I was becoming thin with the way I eat poorly. This too was another reason why I needed to undergo a mental examination. Therapist needed to debrief me earlier before it turned severe. I never thought before that depression is a powerful thing, I was grateful I was treated earlier before it got grave. God, I would never want that crippling illness to preoccupy my mind again. Not only was I affected by it but my family as well. I didn't want to put them through that ever. Seriously, I never had suffered that severely in the past, I guess the lives of my babies took its toll on me.

"Sum, breakfast is ready," Trench called behind the unlock door. This had been his habit every morning to make sure I will eat properly.

I pulled the door to reveal my tired fiancé. "Where is Myles?"

"Waiting downstairs, love, now come on you need to restore your health," he sighed.

"I'm sorry for worrying you this much," I can't help apologizing for what I had become after I gave birth to our twins.
