Chapter: 31
A few weeks later.
"Have you eaten something?" Adam asks as soon as I answer the call, "You need to have small healthy snacks from time to time so that you don't feel sick."
"Adam, I have just reached to work I have not even turned on my laptop." Sitting on the chair, I keep my laptop bag on the table letting out an exasperated sigh.
"Well, that's good it means you can have a snack before starting your work," He replies, and I can assume him nodding his head with a serious expression on his face. "I have packed some carrots with hummus for you, you can easily munch them even while working." He adds.
I don't even know how to be angry at him when he is being so considerate and caring. He has always been a really caring husband, but since the moment we found out that I am pregnant he has turned protective too. He doesn't breathe down my neck, but he keeps on checking from time to time on me.
He makes sure that I am having my vitamins daily, also he encourages me to eat in small proportions throughout the day so I don't feel drained. Even though my office is in the completely opposite direction of his, but almost every day he comes to have lunch with me, especially when I am craving for something he never fails to bring that thing for me. Sometimes he goes out of his way to make me feel comfortable and fulfill my needs.
Every day I think I love him a little more.
"And don't forget to wind up your work before lunch, we have a doctor's appointment today so you have to take off for the rest of the day." He reminds me, making me slap my forehead because I have completely forgotten about the appointment.
In my defense, I don't need to because he is keeping a tab on all these things. More than me he is aware of my medicines, appointments, and makes sure I never miss any of them.
"Don't worry, I know very well that you must have forgotten about it so I've already talked to Beth." The smugness in his tone makes me rolls my eyes.
For now, only mom knows that I am pregnant because I started having morning sickness so she pretty much figured it out herself. Also, Adam said that he will feel at ease knowing that mom is there to look after me in the office, so there is no need for hiding this from her.
We are thinking to have a small family get together to share this news with our families, but we didn't get much time to plan anything.
"Okay, I will call you in an hour or two." He speaks in a rushed tone probably he has realized he has something important to attend, "And do to eat something."
"Bye, and I love you." He hangs up the call, leaving a smile on my face.
"Hey, what's up doc?" I poorly mimic bugs bunny's voice and laugh at my poor attempt while munching on the baby carrots as I start my day.
"Oh, this is interesting," The doctor says to herself in a quiet voice while looking at the screen whereas I am trying hard to figure what I am looking at.
I look at Adam who is trying to look excited but in reality, even he is as clueless as me.
"I hope you are prepared for this." The doctor raises her eyebrows at us, as she turns her chair in our direction.
"As long as I am not giving birth to some alien, I think I can handle anything." I shrug because when the first time I saw the thing which the doctor referred to as a baby it definitely didn't look human to me.
"I can guarantee you that you are definitely not giving birth to any aliens." She suppresses her laughter.
"That's such a relief to know-" I stop in a mid-sentence as I pay attention to what she has said.
Aliens?
"Wait for a second, are you trying to say that..."
"Yes, you guys are having twins." She grins while completing my sentence.
"You have put two babies inside me!" Turning around I look at Adam with a horrified expression.
Only to find a smug smile on his face which says that he is damn proud of himself.
Stupid men.
"Motherfucker." I mumble horrified that instead of one now two humans will use my private passage for their journey to the world.
I hear a gasp which came from an elderly nurse as she looks at me with an expression like instead of cursing I have called her boobies saggy.
"What?!" I look at her, "I am a mother and well he did... you know what I mean he did and because of that only, I am becoming a mother of Tweedledee and Tweedledum. So yeah, that what he is." I jerk my thumb towards Adam who burst out laughing while the nurse scurries outside the room the moment I finish my sentence.
"I think you are my favorite patient." The doctor laughs while wiping her tears. She gets busy taking measurements and doing all the doctor stuff which I am not interested in much.
When I glance in Adam's direction again he is already looking at me. I can see his happiness radiating off of him in waves. I try to glare at him but I end up smiling because even though I am scared but it can't lessen my happiness.
"Double the babies, double the fun." I raise my eyebrows at him with a little laugh.
"Double the happiness, double the love." He kisses my forehead affectionately turning my heart into an emotional mess.
Adam's POV
The moment I found out that we are having a baby I knew that I was ready to be a father. However, never in my dream, I would have thought that we are going to be blessed with twins.
Since I have found out this, I am just over the moon. I am terrified because I know this is going to be a huge change in our lives, yet I can't wait to have them in my arms.
Hannah has truly filled my life with happiness. I believe that she is my lady luck because since the moment she has stepped into my life... everything in my life turned out to be better.
My mobile chimes as I receive a message from Hannah.
Meet me outside.
I frown reading her message because my wife's mind works a little differently and you can never know what she is up to. I think that's why my life is interesting because there is hardly any dull moment when she is around.
"What is going on?" I laugh when I see arrows, placed on the opposite wall of the room, pointing in the direction of the garden.
Following the arrows, I walk towards the garden. My eyebrows shoot up in surprise when I find the garden decorated with string lights. However, what truly catches my attention is the floral canopy in the middle of the garden.
Stepping underneath the canopy I just admire how amazing everything looks. Looking around I grin because she surely knows how to surprise me.
"Hannah..." Her name passes through my lips in a surprised whisper, as I am unable to tear my gaze away from her as she walks towards me in her wedding dress.
Suddenly everything looks so dull and bleak, in comparison to her. She looks breathtakingly beautiful, and I am just in a state of trance by her bewitching beauty.
"You are looking so gorgeous." My eyes roam around her face, as I caress the side of her face when she stands in front of me.
"But what's all of this?" I point at the decoration while my eyes never leave her face.
"I just wanted to do something special for you." Her lips curve in a shy smile while her hand reaches out to grab mine. "Adam, I know I am not as perfect as you in our relationship but I wanted to tell you that this doesn't mean that I love you any less. You are the most important person in my life, and no matter what this can never change."
I want to tell her that I am not perfect in any way, if she thinks I am perfect it is all because of her. Because it takes combined efforts for two people to make any relationship work, one alone can't do anything.
Relationships are based on adjustments, not compromises... we both have done our share of adjustments to accept each other the way we are.
However, even before I can say anything she begins to speak again.
"You must be thinking why I am wearing this dress?" She runs her hand over the front of her dress, then looks at me, "This is a very special dress for me because this is the dress in which I have started a new journey of my life with the man whom I know I would fall in love with."
"Now again a new chapter of my life is about to begin, and I want to celebrate this new beginning of my life with the man whom I am deeply in love with." Locking our fingers, she brings our conjoined hands near her mouth and softly kisses them.
I feel lost in her eyes which holds so much love for me. And this is how I feel every time she looks at me.
The way her eyes search for me and that hint of a smile plays on her lips when her eyes connect with mine... is just everything for me.
The little things she does for me, like making sure there is some kind of snacks in our house because she knows I have a habit of eating something before going anywhere, keeping a glass of water near my bedside table because I feel thirsty at night, keeping my car keys with my wallet as I often forget them where I have put them... all these little efforts she puts to look after me makes me love her even more. Because everything she does for me shows her love for me, only making me want to be a better person for her.
Hannah is my everything... She is my strength, my support, my confidante. I am just so lucky to have her because if she is with me I don't think I need anyone else. She completes my life... and completes me.
Marrying her was the best decision of my life. I am glad that instead of listening to others who thought I am doing a grave mistake by jumping into marriage after just meeting her, I choose to listen to my heart who told me that she is the one.
Sometimes you should allow your heart to take the lead because it might be possible that it is taking you towards your destiny.
She is my destiny.
"Can I kiss my beautiful wife?" Cupping the side of her face, I lean down my face bringing it near her.
"You can always kiss your wife." She smiles and lifting her head she covers the remaining distance between our lips, instantly filling my heart with feelings that I can only define as bliss and love.
