| Evelyn started to wake up and once she did she looked over at me. "How are they?" She asked rubbing the sleep out of her eyes and yawning. "Wonderful. Maddy is asleep," I said as I motioned towards the baby bed that was beside her. I walked over with Aiden "but Aiden is awake, but on the verge of going to sleep." I said as she took Aiden and started to cry. "I'm sorry, I just can't believe it. Yesterday they were still in me, and now they are out and we get to see what they look like and it is just overwhelming." She said. I sat down on the bed and wiped away her tears with my thomb. "I know." Evelyn held him for about 10 minutes before he fell asleep and I laid him in his bed right beside Maddy's. I then returned back to the bed beside Evelyn. "Baby, you look tired. Lay down." She said as she scooted over to make room for me. "I'll get a nurse to bring me in something to lay on. You need this bed!" I said as I went to get up. Evelyn put her hand on my chest and stopped me. "Lay down. There is enough room on here for both of us. Besides I want you to stay in here with me tonight. I want to be in your arms. This bed is so empty and alone, by myself, please" She said as she gently pushed me back onto the bed. She laid down facing me. I pulled her close and wrapped my arms around her. "I would, but the doctors might get mad." "Honey, I just had babies not surgery, and if I want you to sleep in this bed with me tonight there is nothing that they can do about it." She said as she smiled at me. Evelyn had always been a strong minded person, and it would take a near miracle to sway her mind. One thing that I knew was that the doctors, wether they liked it or not, would have to get over it. "Alright. I love you." I said as I gently raised her head up with me finger and kissed her. "I love you. And thanks for giving me my babies." She said as she kissed me. "You gave them to me too." I said as we laid in each others arms and thought of today and how the rest of our lives would forever be changed, but we didn't mind. We would be together with our babies and that is all that mattered. |
