CHAPTER 37: HER BIRTHDAY

COLTON

My parents came to the hospital the next day after Shana gave birth to the twins. Of course, they were very happy knowing that they got two grandchildren in an instant.

My mother was obviously loving Shana. She even told me to not letting her slip away. She knew we never discuss our status yet. I would not let her go. Not now, not ever because I could not ask anyone to be my forever other than her.

Shana and our babies totally moved in with me since my place was bigger and spacious than her place.

I already treated her as my wife. When we were still in the hospital, I even talked to Dr. Belle about sexual intercourse. She gave me some explanations when we should do it again.

We did sex already after two months she gave birth because she was already healed down there.

Months passed and the twins were bigger and taller. I could not imagine how fast they were growing up. I was overwhelmed how Shana was being hands on to our babies. I did not saw her complaining not even once.

She is happy being with them as their mother. I was glad that our babies were not the type of babies that always have tantrums. Crying here and crying there. They're only crying when they are hungry. Other than that, it was okay unless they are not feeling well.

I learned everything about infants like changing diapers, making their milk and helping Shana giving them a bath. I learned it from her.

We do not have helpers in our place even I could afford each one of them. However, that's what Shana wants. I always respect her decision. When she told me that she does not want any nannies in our house. Us is enough.

I love to go home after work knowing I can be with my family. The more I spend time with Shana the more I want her to be my wife officially. We still have not talk about the status we have right now but I should be honest with her.

It was not for our babies but the connection we had was different. The moment I first saw her was something special. She was the woman I quickly felt more than my ex-gf before. It was weird but she was beyond my expectations.

That is why I cannot easily forget Shana and even at that time. I did not know who she was, the woman I slept with and got pregnant. I still feel something more to her.

I told Eddy to stop first to the Flower Shop and cake too. Today is her special day. I will give her something special too.

Arriving in our house, saw our twins playing each other inside their crib. Their crib was place in the middle of our living area. I can see that they already feed up. I stepped towards them and kissed each cheek.

Shana came from the kitchen, holding some plates in her both hands as she placed it in the dining table. She looked at me and smiled.

Seeing her, she already cooked dinner for us as always. I did not know that she can cooks well at first. I discovered a lot about her that I could not even imagine. She is one-of-a-kind women that knows everything. She is a wife material to be exact and a superwoman that I am lucky to have her.

I left my kids, I picked up the bouquet of flowers and the cake. I walked towards the dining area and gave it to her with a kissed on the lips just a peck. It's already a habit of mine, kissing her on the lips every time I go to work or arrive from work.

Her eyes widen from the shocked. "Happy birthday, beautiful." I said as she blushed from what I did but she smiled at the same time.

"Thanks, handsome." She spoke. "I did not know you remember my birthday. I did not even mention it to you." She added as she walked towards the kitchen and placing the flowers inside the vase.

"Of course, I know all about you, silly girl." I said as I walked near her and nipping slightly her nose.

"Come on, let's eat." Shana said as she already placed the vase in the dining table with the cake on the side.

"Okay, should I sing for you?" I grinned as we sat in the dining table. "Or do I have to dance too?"

She laughed aloud that the twins were looking at us. She slapped me and I loved seeing her so happy. She is like a best friend to me and love of my life too. I never feel like this in my entire life.

"How's work? She asked." We always talked about anything whenever we were together.

"It was fine and tiring as always but whenever my works done. I am always excited to come home to you and our angels." I spoke. "I always miss you."

"I miss you too." She looked me in the eyes when she said that.

"Shana" I say.

"Uhm."

"I love you." She never blinked like she studied me.

"You do?" She asked and I nodded.

"I have been waiting for the right moment to tell you how I feel. It is not just for our baby's sake or even it was no baby at all." I declared. "I already wanted to pursue you at that time but I hold back because you may think I love you because you were pregnant."

"I love you too." Shana replied and I froze because she loves me too. "I already love you back then. I mean, after we kissed. I could not erase you since then. That's the time I started fallen in love with you."

"You do? Really? For real?" Asking her so many questions. I just want to make it sure.

"Yes, I do love you too." Smiling at me as she repeated it.

I picked her up and put her in the counter. We just finished the chores. Our twins were sleeping. It was just us now in the kitchen and no one can disturb.
