SPECIAL 2
3months after...
"And it's with a heart full of pride and excitement that we open the doors for the NIRAN centre"
Dave cuts the blue ribbon, the audience erupts in applause, followed by flashing of cameras.
Jack, who was in front row was all in awe of his husband, to see him be this excited to help other people really made him proud. Dave was a good person. Too good.
"Hey"
They hug and Jack kisses him on the cheek.
"Congratulations on your project. I'm proud of you"
Dave smiles and holds Jack's hand as they walked inside the centre. The place was like a mall, different sections for different people. There was even an indoor playground where those with kids can take their children to play.
Jack's phone rings and Dave excuses himself to talk with the mayor.
"Hello?"
"Good day is this Mr Montgomery-Niran?"
He frowns.
"Yes. Who is asking?"
"I'm Carol from the Reykjavik General hospital, we have a miss Lina here. She's in labour"
Jack felt like time had stopped for a few seconds. The babies were coming?!
"We'll be there!" He says and hangs up.
Dave, who was busy talking with the mayor is yanked back by his arm.
"What's wrong?" He asks in shock.
"The babies....they're coming. Lina is in labour!"
Dave gasped.
"Let's go!"

They rush inside the hospital, looking for Bonnie. They see her pacing at the end of the hall.
"Boonie. I thought you said she had another week" Dave says, catching his breath.
"I did. But it seems my calculations were wrong. What are you two doing here? Get inside the room!"
The nurse scrubs them up and they head inside the room, Lina was in bed smiling at them.
"There you guys are"
"Hey Lina. How are you feeling?"
"Like a bubble about to burst. Are you excited to be taking your babies home tonight?"
Jack sits down and nods.
"Once again, we're grateful for what you're doing for us"
"Stop thanking me. The £95 000 was enough. In three weeks I'll be in Trinidad enjoying the beach sand." Lina said before she cried out as a contraction hit her.
Three nurses and a doctor enter the room.
"Administer the epidural"
"Yes doctor"
Jack and his husband stand by the side as they watch them prep Lina.
"Do you guys want to record, take pictures or something?"
They exchange a look.
"Do you?" Jack asks.
"Nope, I'm not looking under there. You do it"
Jack chuckles and takes out his phone and starts recording, occasionally panning the camera to Dave who was looking from a distance.
Lina's cries filled the room and Dave really felt bad for her. Delivering two babies at the same time must be the most painful thing to ever happen.
"I need you to push, Lina" the doctor says. Jack zooms in and his lunch raised up to his throat making him gag.
Dave held him steady.
"What's the matter?"
"I shouldn't have done that" he whispers.
He focuses on the video, Lina screaming and the doctor yelling push!
"The baby's crowning"
Dave felt his heart skip a beat. He peeps and watches as the baby's head slowly comes out, followed by the rest of the body.
A low cry filled the room and it got louder with each passing second. Two minutes pass and Jack is handed surgical scissors to cut the now clamped ambilical cord.
Dave takes the phone and records him. He smiles once Jack cut the cord. The baby was a girl.
"Congratulations you're a dada" he jokes.
Jack watches as the nurse takes the baby for cleaning, cutting the cord made him feel like the veil of parenthood was placed on his shoulders.
Lina's screams bring them back to reality. Dave glances at the clock and notices that the second baby was going to be three minutes younger.
The second baby practically came out with ease, the cry was lower than the first one but it didn't worry the doctors. Dave couldn't wait to experience what Jack did with the cord.
Jack takes the phone and zooms in on Dave's face.
"Are you crying?" He teases. Dave pokes him on the forehead.
"Yes!"
Dave cuts the cord and smiles, only to gasp.
"We have a boy and a girl"
"Bonnie is really miscalculated" Jack teases.

In the early evening, Jack and Dave were in the room, sitting in rocking chairs as they bonded with their babies.
Since it was Dave's turn, Jack decided to take a few pictures of them. The nurse enters the room with a pair of diapers.
"They'll probably have their first stool so I brought these. If you have your own then you can use them as well."
"Thanks" Jack says as he took them. They already had theirs but he didn't want to seem rude.
"So what are the names?" He asks.
"Well Anne and Annah were the first options but since we have a twist here, let's think of some"
"Andrew and Emma" Jack says.
"And their thai names?" Dave asks.
"Madee and Lamon"
"What do they mean?"
"Madee means a good beginning and Lamon means gentle soul"
Dave nods and rocks on the chair, Andrew and Emma. They were perfect names.
"Happy birthday Emma and Andrew"
•°• ✾ •°•
Dave took pictures of Jack and the babies bonding through the skin to skin process. There was a knock on the door and he opened it to find his family.
"Mom, dad, Auntie and Anong" he smiles.
"We got here as fast as we could. How are the little ones?" Vanessa asks.
"They're sleeping right now so be a bit quiet"
They step inside and Victoria pulls Dave to the side.
"Congratulations"
"Thanks. We're so excited for this chapter of our lives"
"No silly, I mean Congratulations on sleeping next to that husband of yours. Makes me want to invite a man to my bed"
Dave rolls his eyes.
"And Lauryn?"
"Lauryn is good. I mean she always gets me there so I don't know why I'm lusting over a man"
"My husband to be exact"
"I deserve jail time. Let me say hi to the babies and go get my twat eaten like a mango"
"EW!"
Vanessa smiled and cooed at her grandkids. She didn't touch them as she knew they were vulnerable for germs.
"They're so beautiful"
Mark nodded and patted Jack on the shoulder.
"You will be a great father. I can see it in your eyes"
Anong agreed.
"I agree, you deserve this moment Jack. Both of you deserve it, enjoy the moments, time flies quick"
