FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN

Xander's POVI couldn't even pay attention to what was happening on the screen. The players blurred together in the TV, my mind going to Liv upstairs. She was taking her nap, her third one now and it's slightly past morning . I came down here because I didn't want to bother her. These past weeks has been hell. I was sacred for my wife. The swelling, the blood pressure and most of all the tiredness was all worrisome.I glanced at the clock, it was mid afternoon. Since I wans't going to practice anymore, there wasn't enough things to keep me busy. Yes I won't deny, I miss the ice and my teammates but Liv comes first before anything else. Grunting, I turned off the television. Walking up the stairs quietly so as not to wake her up if she was still sleeping. I needed to check on her, staying away was getting hard. I entered the room, shutting the door slowly. She wasn't on the bed, where would she be?"Liv?" I called out, my voice echoing a bit in the quiet house.There was no answer

UNEXPECTED SURPRISE

Olivia's POVThe days after the sacred we had blurred together. Also, that incident with Ethan storming into the hospital room to puch Xander in the face. After that day, he incident he moved in with us until I gave birth. Which was ridiculous but he insisted. I tried talking him out of it but he wouldn't budge, saying. "Mom, I'm not leaving you alone with this guy," he'd said, half-joking, half-serious, shooting Xander a glare.Xander took it well, his face still red from the pinch. "Fair enough, man. I deserved that one." The bruise on Xander's handsome face faded faster. The one of my stomach took a lot of time, still hurting and changing colors every now and then.Ethan and Xander reconciled not long after, apologizing to each other. Ethan sating he was an asshole and he acted irrational. They hugged and it made my heart warm seeing them that way.With Ethan around the house, the place felt more refreshing. Don't get me wrong, I love my husband but it was different having anoth

BABY SHOWER

Olivia's PovMy mind still spun from Dr. Ramirez words. “Mrs. Olivia, you're having twins." I couldn't believe I had two little humans in my belly. It was unbelievable. My stomach felt bigger than it already was. Xander was way too excited about this outcome. He was practically vibrating as he sat behind the wheel."Oh my God, Liv," his voice filled with glee. "Twins. We're having two whole babies."I pushed the car seat backwards to settle properly. I felt bigger than usual. "I know. It's... overwhelming. But good kind of overwhelming, right?"He grinned, that big, goofy smile that made me melt into a puddle. "The best kind. I can't wait to tell Ethan. He's gonna freak out."And freak out he did. When we got home and broke the news to him, his eyes widened. He looked from me, my stomach and Xander's face. "Twins? For real? Mom, you're carrying two mini-mes in there?"I laughed, entering his arms he spread open for a hug. "Not mini-yous, you fucker. But yeah, twins."He stepped b

LABOUR AND BIRTH

Olivia's POVThe bay shower wrapped up hours ago. The backyard was still littered with confetti and ribbons. Maya was here with us but have to leave because she had a shift at the hospital. I couldn't believe we were having a boy and girl. The perfect bunch. We were currently in the kitchen with me standing by the counter yapping away as Ethan and Xander cleaned up. Xander was scrubbing the sink tat was littered with spilled food and liquids. Ethan loaded the dishwasher with the dirty dishes. "Mom, you sure you don't want to sit down?" Ethan asked, glancing over his shoulder. "You've been on your feet all day."I waved him off with a smile. "I'm fine. The standing helps with the swelling. Besides I want to stay with you two."Xander turned, drying his wet hands on a towel. "Babe, listen to Ethan. Go to the living room and put your feet up. When I'm done here I'll come give you a massage."The men in my life was so protective. I wanted to protest but I knew it wouldn't nudge Xande

NEW BABIES

Olivia's POVThe delivery room faded behind us as I was being moved to a normal hospital ward. The new room was bigger and so spacious. It had a window overlooking the city, the city lights mixing with the bright lights in the room. The twins were still in my arms screaming their lungs out. They hadn't stopped crying since the nurses cleaned them out. I was gently placed on the bed in the room, the babies placed in a crib at my beside.Xander still held my hand as if he was afraid of letting go. His eyes were red rimmed even know he had a big smile on his face. "You did it, Liv," he whispered, leaning down to kiss my forehead. "You're amazing. Look at our babies, they're perfect."I smiled weakly, too exhausted to say much. "They are. Our little miracles."The nurses bustled about checking my IV fluid and the heart monitor I was connected to. One kind nurses took the babies from the crib, for weighing them and doing extra checkups. "Mom needs a bit of rest now," she said softly.

LIFE AS PARENTS

Xander's POVThe doors of the hospital shut behind us as we stepped into the hot afternoon air. We've just being cleared to go home by Dr. Ramirez. Olivia held Sophia wrapped in a fluffy blanket, while I held Alexander as we made our way towards the car. Ethan was behind us, pushing a stroller that was stacked with bags and other things we brought to the hospital. "Easy there, Liv," I said softly, helping her gently into the car. She still looked beautiful as always even though they was exhaustion on her face.The twins kept us all night with their cries.Who knew babies could have such a strong vocal cord.Them not crying now was a small victory. And please they should be like that till we got home.Ethan quickly assembled the babies chairs, double checking if it was properly placed. "I've got the babies secure. Let's get out of here before they decide to throw a concert again."I chuckled, starting the engine. "Thanks, man. We couldn't do this without you."As we pulled into our d
