Mirabella
For a second, I forgot how to breathe.
I turned to Alex, heart hammering against my ribs.
His eyes were wide, stunned, his mouth slightly open.He stared at the screen where it showed two bodies curled up against each other..
"Twins," he whispered, a breathless kind of wonder in his voice.
"Two of them."
I laughed—a wild, broken sound that turned quickly into tears.
Alex leaned down and kissed my forehead, his own cheeks wet.
"They’re strong," the doctor added, pointing to the little flickering beats on the screen.
"Two healthy, perfect babies."
I reached for the screen like I could somehow touch them, feeling the weight of it all crash over me.
Two lives.
Two pieces of us.
Two miracles.But something pinched in me..
"But the previous times? It didn't show two.. "
