The C-section didn't take long and his wife was still sleeping when the nurses brought the two of them to him. Earlier, he had only seen them from far but now he could hold them. They were cleaned and swaddled up in pink swaddle blankets. The one difference was the shades of pink.
"Can you put them in my arms at once?" Callum gave them his best puppy eyes. "Don't worry, I have practised a lot of them with a doll. I won't let them fall. I just don't want them to feel bad that I only had one of them in my arms for the first time."
The nurses smiled at his thoughtfulness. They placed both the girls in her arms but before that they made him sit on the chair and so the babies wouldn't fall. They had seen many excited fathers but this one topped the list. They all blushed when he looked at the girls with teary eyes.
