Unexpected Love

Chapter 38

"Hi, I am sorry to interrupt you guys," A nurse peeked into the room,"Can I come in Dr Hernandez?"

"Sure, Alicia," Catalina smiled warmly at the woman who helped deliver our children safely.

We were currently huddled in the hospital bed because it was big enough for both of us. We just sat admiring our newborn children like the crazy people that we were.

"All the tests are back. Your children are healthy as can be. The smallest may have had a bit of a breathing problem because of the breached birth but that can be alleviated with a week of light theraphy."

"That's a relief," I sighed.

"I just need to write their first and middle names on the bracelets on their hands so we can tell them apart while they are here and we need to fill out the birth certificates," The nurse said kindly and we both nodded at the same time.

"The first baby?" She started off, taking the pen from her shirt and uncapping it.

"Here she is," Catalina said, snuggling our daughter in her right arm,"Rhanya Leilani,"

The nurse quickly wrote it on a tiny piece of paper and stuck it into the little pocket on the bracelet.

"The boy?"

"Xavier Malachi," I said proudly, watching him sleep peacefully in his mother's left arm.

"And lastly, baby girl?"

"Selene," we both said at the same time. We looked at each other and burst into silent laughter making the nurse grin.

"Selene Thaliza," I said, turning my attention to the little sweetheart in my arms.

"How are you guys doing?" Diana whisper yelled as she poked her head into the room.

"We're okay, you can come in but be very quiet though, they just fell asleep again." Catalina gestured for her to come.

Diana tiptoed across the room and sat by Catalina's side, carefully. moving the phones and tablets from the leather chair.

"I want to thank you for being there for me Di. You don't know how much it meant to me." Catalina said quietly, resting her head against Diana's.

"Lina you know I will always be there for you,"Diana said sincerely,"You are my sister, who else am I going to be there for?"

"Would you like to hold her?"

"Of course," Diana beamed and carefully collected Rhanya from Catalina.

Rhanya opened her eyes the minute she felt the movement. She opened her little mouth to cry but Diana gently rocked her back to sleep.

"She is so precious! Tell me, who do they look like?" Diana asked excitedly.

"Diana they were just born. They look like babies," I laughed and Diana playfully glared at me.

"Mom! Dad!" Junior's excited voice cut through the silence but thankfully it wasn't too loud.

"Junior!" Catalina smiled, pulling him into a one armed hug.

"Who brought you here buddy," I asked.

"Grandma and Aunty Cataleya," he said.

He studied his siblings with genuine curiosity, his eyebrows furrowing and unfurrowing the longer he stared at them. I lifted him onto the bed with us with one arm and ruffled his hair
