Ocean Eyes // A JESSA STORY

Part 34

Nessa:
"Ness, they're- they're perfect," Josh tenderly says as we look at our newborn babies. My water broke at 2:38 AM; I came into the hospital at 3:12 AM; I was dilated 10 centimeters by 4:50 AM.

My sweet baby girl, Katherine Eileen Richards, was born at 5:48 AM. My sweet baby boy, Drew  Alan Richards, was born at 6:07 AM.

It was now around 9:30, and I was holding Drew, while Nessa was feeding Katherine. It's crazy to think that I've been a dad for over 3 hours. I lean over and kiss Nessa's forehead and look down at Katherine, who is adorable and tiny and perfect. Drew starts crying, and I have no clue what to do. I look over to Nessa, hoping for some guidance. "Josh, just walk around with him and shhhh him. See if he'll take the paci," Nessa explains while grinning.

So, I do just that. I walk all over the room and shhhh with Drew and slowly give him his pacifier. Just as Drew is going back to sleep in my arms, Katherine starts crying. Ness just slowly leans her head back in exhaustion. We swap so that I am walking around with Katherine and Nessa is feeds Drew. Slowly, but surely, Katherine falls asleep, so I put her in the little bassinet next to Nessa's bed. She attempts to feed Drew for 5 ish more minutes before she lays him down in his bassinet next to her.

She sticks her hand out to me, so I take it and kiss it. "No, doofus. Come cuddle me," she quietly whines. I snicker at her as she moves herself over to the opposite side of the bed, making room for me to lay next to her.

I get into the bed and she cuddles herself into the crook of my arm and neck. "I cannot believe that I am a mom," Nessa whispers.

"I cannot believe that I am a dad," I whisper back at her. I feel her cheeks lift up as she smiles into my neck. "I love you," I tell her as I kiss her. She replies with "I love you."

"I can't believe how big the twins are," she says. "It isn't common to have 5 pound twins," she continues and I nod.

I slowly start to feel her drift into a sleep, as I do the same. We are both abruptly awoken by a nurse coming in at around 12 to check Nessa's vitals and see how the twins are doing. Nessa then picks up Drew and starts feeding him again. I get on my phone for a bit, when all the Sway boys start calling, asking if they and their significant other can come visit. "Let me check with Ness. There's a lot of you, so you'll probably have to come one at a time," I reply. I hear audible groans, due to them having to wait.

After taking with Ness we decide that two couples can come at once. We invite Mads and Jaden and Bryce and Addison first, with little baby Olly, after Ness gets done nursing.

When they come in, Bryce and Jaden come and bro hug me and congratulate Nessa. Addison and Mads are on the verge of tears as they look at Drew and Katherine. "Bryce," Addison starts.

"You just had one," Bryce says, not wanting to hear her moaning about wanting more kids. They all leave about a half hour later.

I go and get Ness food, while she feeds Katherine.

After Nessa finished eating and finished feeding the twins, we invite Griffin and Jorja and Garrett and Katie over. Their reactions were the same if you saw a newborn baby. Excited, in awe, cooing at them. They left after an hour, since Katie wanted to talk to Nessa.

Next came Avani, Anthony, Tate, Blake, Amelie, and Kels. Kels and Tate were fighting over who should get to hold Katherine, even though neither of them could really even talk. This little tiffy of their's resulted in a full on temper tantrum. This is what caused a very tired looking Avani and Anthony to leave. Blake and Amelie stayed around for a bit longer, after they calmed Kels down.

Last Quinton, Cynthia, Kio, and Sab came. Quinton wanted to hold Drew and Kio really wanted to hold Katherine. They are both huge softies and love babies. Cynthia told Nessa about some of the most recent drama with her family, while Sab painted Nessa's nails. They stayed for a couple hours, but had to leave when the twins were getting hangry.

After everyone leaves we Facetime my parents and then we Facetime hers. They claimed they would definitely be at our house before we got home. They asked Ness and me how we were doing. This was my only response:

"I am a fucking dad."
