Sebastian's POV It's been three months since Carter and Abel, my two beautiful sons, entered our lives, and to say it's been a whirlwind would be an understatement. Life has certainly changed, and every day is an adventure in this new chapter. Shelly, my amazing wife, has been a superhero in her own right. Even through the sleepless nights and endless diaper changes, she manages to keep a smile on her face and warmth in her heart. There's a certain resilience in her that is just unmatched, and I admire her more every day. She not only navigated her recovery from childbirth with such grace, but she's also embraced motherhood in the most wonderful way. As for me, I've taken it upon myself to shower her with appreciation whenever possible. She's truly my world, and the gravity of what we have together our family anchors me. Seeing her at home with the twins, I often reflect on how lucky I am. Especially since I often have to leave for business trips, something that has be
Shelly’s POV The incessant beeping was driving me mad. Yet, the comforting hand on mine brought a sense of peace. I attempted to open my eyes, but the brightness forced me to blink repeatedly until I finally adjusted. I saw Sebastian beside me, asleep in a chair, his hand gently grasping mine. I tried to move, but a sharp pain shot through my stomach, halting me. With deep breaths, I attempted again, using my free hand to gently stroke Sebastian's head, my fingers combing through his hair. He stirred awake. Sebastian lifted his head slowly, disbelief widening his eyes. “Hello, handsome. Did you miss me? Because I sure missed you,” I said, my voice groggy. Tears blurred his eyes as he caressed my face. Confusion swirled within me. Where were the babies? Was that why he was crying? Reading my worried expressions, Sebastian leaned in, kissed me quickly, and began explaining everything. “Sweetheart, the boys are fine. They're in another room, waiting for you to wake up. You’
Unknown POV The beauty of this place is unlike anything I have ever encountered before. I can see a meadow spread out before me, adorned with a kaleidoscope of flowers, their vibrant colors blending into a picturesque panorama that stretches endlessly in all directions. I sense an unfamiliar serenity washing over me; it’s as if the burdens and shadows of despair that once consumed me have been lifted. No longer am I engulfed in the oppressive darkness that held me captive. Yet, amidst this overwhelming beauty and tranquility, a singular question echoes in my mind, demanding answers: Why am I here? The memory of the hospital room is still vivid. I remember the ecstatic moment of giving birth to our children, followed by the overwhelming joy of seeing my twin boys for the first time. Memories of their tiny, perfect faces bring warmth to my heart. But confusion soon follows; where are they now? Where is Sebastian? I long to hold my children, to bask in the presence of their
Sebastian's POV As I shifted closer, my heart swelled with pride and emotion, leaning over to brush a tender kiss upon Shelly's lips while whispering softly. “Baby girl, you did it. Our boys are here, and they're absolutely beautiful. You've brought them into the world, and I'm so proud of you,” I said, my voice trembling as tears began to well in my eyes. I don't remember the last time I cried, perhaps when my dad passed away but the sight of my sons was a moment that overwhelmed me with emotion. I've always been one to hold back my tears, presenting a stoic front to the outside world. But witnessing the birth of my first sons cracked open the dam. Spilling forth feelings I didn't even know I had. They were perfect, and Shelly had been incredible, enduring all with grace and strength. As I gazed at Shelly, I noticed with growing concern that her complexion was far too pale. Her hand, cool and lost, began to slip from my face. Horror and panic clashed within me as her ey
Shelly’s POV I begin to feel the effects of the epidural as it flows rapidly through my body, relieving the intense pain and bringing me a sense of calm. However, the only parts of my body I can still move are my arms and my head. The anxiety that grips me is not because of the procedure itself, but because of the looming fear that one of my precious sons might not make it. This thought races through my mind, sending shivers of dread coursing through me. Beside me, I clutch Sebastian’s hand tightly, finding solace and strength in his unwavering presence. His support in this moment means everything to me, and I know I couldn’t face this without him by my side. My heart skips a beat as I hear the door swing open and see Brittney entering the room, arms laden with supplies essential for the C-section. The reality of what’s about to happen begins to sink in deeper. Doctor Gray diligently prepares the area, setting up everything needed with precision and care. Once ready, she
