when you think it's finally over

Chapter 54 (Vicky's POV)

A FEW MONTHS LATER

"YOU DAMN IDIOT, I SWEAR TO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS! I SWEAR I WILL MURDER YOU!"

I know it sounds bad. But I didn't mean it like that. Still it hurts like a bitch!

"Miss McCarthy please, you need to calm down. It will be over soon I promise, just listen to what I tell you ok?"

"I am not McCarthy. Not yet. And if you don't make this pain go away I will cancel the wedding. God damn it hurts! Do something!"

"I know it hurts love but just a bit longer. I can already see the head of the first baby. Just a few more pushes ok?"

Yeah you guessed correctly. I was in labor. And in loads of pain.

I know it's not fair to blame Andrew for all my pain but guess what?

I don't care! I was hurting! 

But still I nodded my head and on the countdown of my doctor I pushed one more time.

And the head was finally out. 

Two more pushes and my first baby was safe and sound and crying like crazy.

I allowed myself a moment of relief but it was cut short when another contraction came.

Half an hour later they were both born, cleaned and safely in mine and Andrews arms.

Now that it was all over I felt ashamed and guilty for all the words I said to Andrew.

"Babe. I am so so freaking sorry."

I gave him my best puppy eyes but he only looked at me with a confused expression so I elaborated.

"For all the insults and threats and so on and so on. You know what I mean."

The guilt was eating me up inside but he just chuckled.

Damn idiot chuckled!

Forget it! I take it back. I'm not sorry at all!

"Sorry love. Don't be mad at me. You know I love you more than anything and anyone in this world. So you don't have to apologize. I know you didn't mean it even though I can guess you are thinking it some times."

Ok scratch that last sentence of mine.

Let's give him credit where he deserves it.

"Do you mind looking after our two monsters? I feel really tired. So I wanted to take a nap if it's ok with you?"

He looked tenderly and stroked my cheek before he moved closer to kiss my forehead and than gave me a quick peck on the lips.

"I'll look after them I promise. I still can't stop looking at either of them. Another princess and a little prince to watch over his sisters. What else could a man ask for? Thank you love. For making me even happier when I thought I was the happiest already."

I smiled and closed my eyes after Andrew took Val from my arms.

I drifted to dream land fast.

God it felt so good to fall asleep without a huge baloon in front of me.

****************

"Gosh, thats a new level of perfection I swear. Knox can we have one or two please?"

I've heard Knox's silent chuckle and I could just imagine his face full of adoration and amusement aimed Jessy's way.

They were still together and they were just too adorable.

In the past few months we all became even closer than we were before.

Knox really was like my brother I never had, and Jessy was considered to be my sister even before we moved here.

"Sure honey. I've told you already I don't mind having kids with you. I want them as soon as possible. You are the one that always postpones our pregnancy plans."

"Could you love birds, keep it down? I don't want to wake up Vicky. She deserves some rest. She was in labor for almost one whole day."

"Sorry my dearest almost brother in law but they are just so cute. Can I hold them? "

"You can, but first let them eat and then you can take one of them ok?"

I opened my eyes because I wanted to see how Andrew managed to feed both babies at the same time. 

As soon as I saw his way of feeding them both at the same time, I started laughing at the picture in front of me.

All 3 pairs of eyes turned my way but I couldn't stop laughing.

There were Knox and Andrew, each of them held one of the babies and a bottle so there was nothing wrong.

But now imagine it like this.

2 huge guys, full of tattoos and muscles, each holding a tiny baby in one hand and in his other huge hand there is a small bottle.

Yeah I am sure you get the point.

And if you don't blame my laugh on my hormones.

They both looked so harmless and adorable.

And all three of them gave me a soft smile but the first to approach me was Jessy.

She hugged me tightly, which she couldn't do in past months since I was so huge.

"Hey babe. Congratulations. How are you feeling?"

I smiled lovingly at her.

Honestly, if it wasn't for her I have no idea where I would be today. 

She was my rock when no one else gave a shit about me.

"I am fine. Just had to get some rest after all the threats I aimed at Andrew."

They all started laughing.

Then Knox gave little Valerie to Jessy so he could give me a hug as well.

They stayed for about 30 minutes and then it was Andrew's parents' time to pay us a visit but they were fast to leave because Amy was staying with them these days.

Then it was just me and Nadrew and our babies again.

I just got settled for another nap when a knock came from the door.

I looked at Andrew surprised. Who could that be?

But I didn't manage to ask him because a young boy came inside and gave me some roses. I signed for the delivery and thought to myself that they were probably from Jessy or Marge.

Though it was kind of weird considering they were both here today but neither of them mentioned any flowers.

Then I opened the card.

Inside awaited me a familiar writing and horrifying words.

Enjoy your happiness while you can,

Because it won't last.

And that's a promise not a threat.

As soon as I finished reading it flowers fell out of my hands and woke up both babies.

Andrew was beside me in a second trying to calm me and get some answers from me.

But only thing that came out of my mouth were words:

"Nik is here."

And the world around me went black.
