"Don't worry, Jim. We agree on that topic. We discussed the theme of 'taking rest' with the doctor. So I'll make sure your daughter gets the rest she needs."

I roll my eyes and chuckle as he kisses my cheeks.

"He's the perfect husband for you. With him at your side, I can worry less about my sweet ladybug."

"Oh, Dad, I love you."

"Not as much as I love you."

When I glance at Cole, who is standing listening to his mother and mine, I giggle. His eyes are saucers as he gets bombarded with questions.

"Do you two want to know the sex of the babies? Is it possible to have a natural birth, or will she need a C-section? Do you think this penthouse is a suitable place for you to raise your children? Young kids need fresh air and enough space to crawl, and what if they crawl onto the terrace when you don't notice? That is a giant safety hazard; you must baby-proof the entire apartment.”

Jeremy stops next to Cole and places a hand on his shoulder. "Okay, you two, Alisha and this man found out this morning they are having twins. So instead of overwhelming him with questions that aren't even relevant yet, give them credit for sharing the news with us this soon, and celebrate."

My mom and Carmen both blush. Carmen bites her lips and glances at her son.

"Sorry, sweetheart." She places a kiss on her son's cheek. "Jeremy is right. It's just that I'm so proud knowing I'll have three grandchildren that I got carried away."

"Yeah, Carmen is right. Sorry, Cole," my mom says. My dad stops next to his wife and swings an arm around her.

"Be prepared, Cole; these grandmothers will be on your tail throughout the whole pregnancy."

"Fine, but then I expect you two to have my back when I mess up," he says, pointing to Jeremy and my dad.

I laugh out loud. "Your daughter and these two are your only concern, honey," I say, placing my hand on my stomach.

He sends me a wide, beaming smile. "You're right, wifey. Now, can we eat cake?"

"Yeah, I brought a cake that Emma made, and it's delicious. Who wants a piece?"

When everyone nods and takes a seat, I turn and walk to the kitchen.

We standat our spot on the balcony a few hours later, gazing into the sky, while resting my back against Cole’s chest. "What a day."

He hums in agreement as I turn and shift my focus to his face.

"What's going on in that head of yours, husband?"

"I'd don't want to know the sex of our babies until birth."

I blink while tilting my head sideways. "For a man who says he doesn't appreciate surprises, you're setting yourself up for the biggest surprise ever."

His eyes travel from the sky to me, and his lips curve into a smug smile as he touches my cheek.

"I don't care. Meeting you was one big surprise, and look at what it brought me." He places a hand on my stomach and kisses me. Before I can pull him close, he unlocks our lips and lowers himself until his face is by my belly.

"Hey, you two, it's your daddy speaking. I wanted to say that your two will have the best mom in the world. She's spicy, funny, sexy as hell, but most important, kind and sweet when she needs to be." My eyes tear up. "Take your time to grow, and we'll be waiting for you two when you come out." With a heart overflowing with pure love for my husband, I gesture him to stand up. As he rises, I snake my arms around his neck and place my forehead against his.

"You're already the best dad in the world. Now, can we shower? Because this body wants warm water, and I want it joined with my sexy, naked husband soaping me from top to bottom."

"Your wish is my command." He lifts me and carries me bridal style into the house.

"I can get used to this," I mutter with my lips against his neck. "Oh, newsflash. Emma told me that most pregnant women have an increased libido. So get prepared to satisfy my needy needs."

Cole's rumbling laughter echoes through the house, and it's the best sound in the world.
