“She’s in room 309, just down the hall, last door on your right.” Another nurse appeared, and I guessed she was Ana’s since she knew instantly who I was here for and what direction to send me.
“Thanks.” I didn’t even finish my thanks before I sprinted off down the corridor to her room.
As I reached the door, I took a deep breath and had to mentally prepare myself for a moment that the next time we leave here, we’ll have our two diamonds, and I couldn’t pretend I wasn’t shitting it, but with Ana, I could do it.
We could do it.
Once I entered the room, I saw Nicolo helping Ana as best as he could, she squeezed his hand she rode out a what I guessed was a contraction.
“Thank God! I can’t feel my fingers.” Nicolo whimpered as Ana tightened her hold on his hands.
“Thanks, Nic, I don’t know what we’d have done without you today.” I pulled him into a hug as he patted my back. “The guys are on their way, they’ll be here in about thirty minutes, are you going to wait?”
“Of course! I’m not missing this for the world!” He headed out the room, probably to ice his hand as I made my way to Ana’s beside.
“I’m here,amore.” She glanced up at me, her eyes shone with tears, her cheeks were the perfect shade of pink and she looked breathtaking.
“You made it.” She sobbed.
“Of course, I wouldn’t miss this. I told you I’m here to make it better so if breaking my fingers helps, then go for it.”
“Why would I do that? Then you can’t help with the diapers.” She laughed. “And besides, I only squeezed his hand like that to calm him down, he was freaking out.”
“What am I going to do with you?”
“I’m sure you can think of plenty.” She smiled up at me as she gripped my hand, but it wasn’t to get through the pain, it was out of love. I ran my thumb over her knuckles as she breathed through another contraction. I was in awe of her and how well she made it through them.
“You’re doing amazing, I’m so proud of you.” I stroked her hair as he she flashed me a sleepy smile.
“We’redoing amazing,” she corrected but I did nothing, she was the one having to go through this.
“Trust me, this is all you, I’m doing nothing.”
“You’re doing more than you know, believe me.” She cupped my face as a single tear rolled down her cheek.
“Ana, are you okay?”
“I’m perfect. I was just thinking about how lucky the three of us are to have you.” She pecked my lips and I fell in love with her all over again.
“It is us who are lucky to have you.” We were lucky, I already knew it and the twins would soon know it too if they didn’t already feel it.
“Sorry to interrupt. I just need to check how many centimetres Anastacia is at the moment, you can step out if you like, Mr. Ricci,” the nurse said.
“There’s no way I’m leaving.” I tried to remain calm, but she’d already irritated me.
“Are you okay with this, Anastacia?” the nurse asked, giving Anastacia a look.
“Yes, I want him to stay.” Anastacia gave her a reassuring nod as she continued to do whatever she needed to do with my wife.
Anastacia squeezed my hand the entire time and no matter how painful that was, it couldn’t be compared to the pain that radiated through her right now.
“It looks like you’re ready to meet your babies, Anastacia.”
“What?! That fast?! She just got here!” The words came out as fast as vomit, I couldn’t stop them.
“Mr. Ricci, relax and take a deep breath. Babies don’t always wait around and it’s obvious that yours are eager to meet you both.” She smiled at me as I realised that she was only doing her job before, and some men may not have wanted to stay with their wife but that wasn’t me, I wouldn’t leave Ana alone.
And I didn’t the whole time she brought our babies into the world.
