| I went back into my room and grabbed an old sweatshirt of his and a pair of sweat pants that were made for pregnant women, after changing and pulling my hair up I grabbed Hayden some clothes. "Here you go. You might recognize those." I handed him a pair of his pajama pants and a hooded sweatshirt that was his. "You don't look like you have gotten much taller, so you should fit into them just fine." "I can't believe you still have these." He said as he went into the bathroom to change. About 5 minutes later he emerged from the bathroom. He looked so cute standing there. I could tell he had ran his hands through his hair. The rain had matted it down and now he had a mass of messy spikes on top of his head. "I had to have something of yours here with me. I used to wear those to bed a lot but once I started getting really big I couldn't. I don't know why, but no matter how many times I have washed those, they never lost their smell of your cologne. Whenever I would be going to bed, especially when I really missed you, I would wear them and it would smell as if you were laying in bed right beside me. I really missed going to sleep in your arms. That has been one of the hardest parts of all of this. Waking up and not seeing you beside me." I said as a tear streaked down my cheek, I yawned. I was really tired from work, and emotionally tired from everything that had happend today. Hayden walked over and helped me up. Once standing he put his arms around me and told me that everything would be alright. As our bodies were pressed together the baby kicked. It was somewhat new to me everytime, but Hayden jumped back and stared wide-eyed at my stomach. I grabbed his hand and held it to my belly were the baby was kicking. "I am going to have my hands full with them." I said "Them?" He stuttered "Yea, they're twins, a boy and a girl. That is why I am soo big. My doctor told me that I shouldn't be working, that I should really be staying off my feet. But I get paid really well at my job, and I work any chance I can. I had the money I had saved up, from before I moved her, put in as a huge down payment for this house. It covered atleast half, which in turn cut my monthly payment down to only $150 a month instead of $400. So I was able to get a really nice place and pretty decent furniture. I even have a nursery. Plus the girls I work with pitched in and bought me matching cribs, changing tables and strollers. So all I had to get was two swings, clothes and diapers and little things like that." I said "Well I'm glad to know that you haven't been struggling here." He laughed. "Yea, plus I worked a lot to keep my mind off of the babies coming. At first it was easy, because I would be getting their room ready and getting the house all child-proof, but after all of that was done, it was nothing but sitting around and waiting." I went into my bedroom, where Hayden hesitantly followed me in. "I'll bet, have you thought of any names?" He asked. He looked so cute as he walked in and looked at all the pictures of him and I, and of my family that were setting around. "Yea, sorta. I was thinking of, for a girl, Bailey Cheyenne or Madison Cheyenne, and for a boy Aiden Riley. What do you think? If you don't like them then I have thought of a lot more, those just seemes so unique." I said, kind of hopping he would like them. "I really like Aiden Riley and Madison Cheyenne. Whose last name are they going to have?" He asked as he rubbed his hands slowly over my very round belly. He had sat down next to me on my bed. "Yours. I am so glad you liked those. I liked Madison too, because you could call her Maddy for short. So it is set. Madison Cheyenne Christensen and Aiden Riley Christensen. I even know which is which. I had an appointment two days ago and my doctor said that Aiden is up at the top and Madison is down at the bottom. It is really funny to, you are going to think I am crazy but I talk to them and I've even started calling them by there names. Even though I had two girl names I always, for some reason, called her Maddy." I said as I yawned again. Hayden did the same. "I don't think your crazy." He said as he looked at me. "You are so beautiful. I always thought you were before, but now you are radiant. Most of it is all from within now. I love how everytime you talk about the babies your eyes light up. It is beautiful." He said as he slowly leaned in and kissed me. Everytime I kissed him it was like I was kissing him for the first time. Something I would never forget. "Would you stay in here with me tonight?" I asked as we had our foreheads resting against each other. He nodded his head and as I layed down he turned the lights off and crawled under the covers. He rested his body up against mine and his arms around my waist. At that moment. Feeling his warm breath on the back of my neck and the kisses on the back of my shoulder, I realized. It was actually him in the sweatshirt this time. I slowly drifted into a peaceful dreamless sleep. |
