Shelly’s POV
The incessant beeping was driving me mad. Yet, the comforting hand on mine brought a sense of peace. I attempted to open my eyes, but the brightness forced me to blink repeatedly until I finally adjusted.
I saw Sebastian beside me, asleep in a chair, his hand gently grasping mine. I tried to move, but a sharp pain shot through my stomach, halting me.
With deep breaths, I attempted again, using my free hand to gently stroke Sebastian's head, my fingers combing through his hair. He stirred awake.
Sebastian lifted his head slowly, disbelief widening his eyes. “Hello, handsome. Did you miss me? Because I sure missed you,” I said, my voice groggy.
Tears blurred his eyes as he caressed my face. Confusion swirled within me. Where were the babies? Was that why he was crying?
