Twins

The next day, early in the morning found Alex carrying both the twins in his arms – one in his left and the other in his right. He thought he had prepared himself enough when this day came but he was still incredibly overwhelmed as he looked down indulgently at his two tiny babies who were contentedly sleeping in his arms. He was already a father now and his heart was constantly filled with intense emotions.

He looked at Abi who was lying on the hospital bed, still recovering from the tiredness of her labour the day before and when she smiled at him with the same intense emotions in her eyes, Alex relaxed and smiled lovingly back at her. It felt as though they were even more connected now that their babies were born. When their eyes met, words were not needed, and they could understand what the other is thinking.
