The Strong One

Episode 10

It has been 6 months yes I know 6 months, the pregnancy has been tough but I’m proud to say that my little girl and boy are as healthy as they possibly could be, and in one month I will be able to meet them.

Mum tried to convince me to move the nursery into the room next to mine however I decided not to as I want my babies close to me, however we did build 2 rooms for each one of them for when they are toddlers, the rooms are right next to mine so it works perfectly, I have gotten so attached to my babies.

I haven’t been to the warehouse in months but that doesn’t mean I’m not training, well not physically but all my other training has been continued from home, one of my parents always stays home and one goes to the warehouse as they don’t want me get back on all my progress, however there’s one thing I’m not going to do and that is the training I was supposed to do away, I wouldn’t be able to leave my babies and wouldn’t trust to take them with me.

I have two guards with me every second of the day which at first annoyed me but then I realised it’s for my babies safety.

Lee, Diego’s dad was over but my mum just said I was resting and so I was able to avoid that situation.

My babies have been kicking a lot, they are obviously going to be very energetic.

Even though my family all supports me I could still feel like they were disappointed in me, however they hid it very well but the last few months it completely changed, they are as excited as me for the babies to come.

My mood swings have gotten worse, I will burst into tears out of nowhere, I will get mad at any minor inconvenience and I had to get a new guard as I stabbed one, my cravings have also gotten crazy but nan is enjoying that as she gets to make the craziest food combinations all day. I am extremely big but god forbid anyone mention so or they will get stabbed (sorry Trey).

“Alex.” Mum screamed for me from the living room.

“Coming.” I said and made my way down the stairs, as I got to they door I was shocked by a liquid running down my legs.

It took me a second to realise what was happening but when I did I screamed for my mums help.

“Oh god.” Mum also realising what was happening said helping me to the car and then running back into the house to get my maternity bag.

Even though I could go back to our family doctor I decided to stay with the one I already had as she had been an amazing help and I came to trust her.

As we got to the hospital I was rushed in as I had started to feel awful contractions and I was in tears.

“Are they going to be ok.” I asked panicking as even though most woman pregnant with twins tend to go into labour earlier it was still too early.

“They will be fine, don’t panic and take deep breaths.” The doctors said checking me up.

“Alex I want you to get ready to start pushing ok.” The doctor said calling in some nurses to help.

“I can’t.” I said in a lot of pain as I said no to an epidural.

“Yes you can, come on time to push they are ready to come out.” The doctor told me looking at me and nodding encouraging me.

I never felt so much pain in my life but all that was nothing when I got passed my babies, I was so freaking happy I started crying, happy tears, my babies are perfect 10 fingers 10 toes in each on, their skin has a lighter tan than I do but it’s still there and they have a light brown hair, all I wanted was to see their eyes but they still hadn’t opened them but it was ok, their cries filled the room but stopped when I fed and as weird as this sounds their cries didn’t annoy me they made me happy, to know that it’s all real and my babies are actually here, since they were born prematurely they will have to have some care but that didn’t matter as long as they were safe.

I could feel myself getting sleepy from the exhaustion and that’s when the nurses helped put the babies down after being burped.

Before I fell asleep I remember my parents walking in going to see their grandkids.
