My Indian Wedding

Epilogue: Double Trouble

                “What is up with the it?” I asked pointing to the word.

                “We weren’t sure if it was a boy or girl, so Aman thought it would be smart to put it.” Sal said rolling her eyes dramatically. I shook my head at the stupidity. 

                “Hey at the time it sounded like a smart idea.” He defended.  Raj walked towards me and held my hand.

                “I would ask you how you are feeling, but that would be a stupid question. I can’t believe I am going to be an uncle.” He said as he dipped down to kiss me on the forehead.

                “Yo Naina, what do you think hurts more, getting kicked in the ball, or giving birth?” I looked towards Aman wanting to strangle his neck.

                The doctor walked in before I had the chance to jump on Aman, and strangle him with my bare hands. Everyone walked out, while the doctors went to check on me. He looked underneath the covers ,and then back at me.

                “It’s time.”

8 hours later

                “It’s a boy.” The doctor screamed, and I started crying in relief because it was healthy. When the nurses told my father I could hear him screaming in joy. It was the first boy in the family. Ethan held my hand. I think we both wanted to be happy, but we were so scared for the next baby. They were in great danger, and they didn’t even have a chance to enter the world.

30 minutes later.

                When she came out of me, I couldn’t breathe. She was perfectly fine, but I couldn’t  breathe. I couldn’t feel myself. I guess the doctors got it wrong. She wasn’t in danger. I was.

(Ethan’s POV)

                They kicked me out of the door because patients family members couldn’t watch their loved one dying. She couldn’t leave me. She couldn’t leave me. She had to be here. She had to be here to raise her children. She had to be the mother that she always wanted to be. She couldn’t leave. She promised she wouldn’t leave me.

                Three Days later.

(Third person).

                Two babies were born, but no one cared. It was as if no one was happy that they were alive. Everyone couldn't talk. No one could whisper. No one knew how to handle the situation. They thought they lost her.

                They almost lost her.

                She was weak. She was fragile. She couldn’t even move at time. Her husband couldn’t even let her go of his sight without feeling she would pass away. She reassures him that nothing was going to happen to her, but he would just shake his head and cradle him in her arms. He loved her so much. He could never watch him leave him in front of his eyes. She was everything to him, and to even think she could pass away scared him to his own grave.

                The nurse rolled in the babies. Its feeding time she said. She left both of them alone. The mom grabbed her baby. The first born. The boy.

                “Ethan we have to name him. We had a deal you know. You got to name it if it was a boy, and I got to name it if it was a girl.” She said cradling the little monster in his arms. He looked just like his father except his eyes. He had skin as white as milk. He had the fattest cheeks, and hands.  He had light brown silky hair. Even though he was so young, she knew he would be his father. She just knew.

                “Ryan. I want to name him Ryan.”  Was all he said before taking him into his arms. He couldn’t help, but smile as the tiny creature held onto him for dear life. The mother grabbed the girl. She was so scared something would happen to her. The doctors said she was healthy, but the mom just knew that she would always be in trouble. It was as if it was a sixth sense that she knew her child before they even knew themselves.

                “Naina please don’t name it a hardcore Indian name. I want to be able to pronounce my daughter’s name.”  The mom looked down at her. She saw a light in her. She didn’t cry in the last three days except the day she was born. She always smiled. She never looked sad. She was a mixture of both of her parents. She was so beautiful. Her green eyes blended so well with her tan skin. Her curls slowly hanged down from her face. She was perfect.

                She was a ray of sunshine. She knew anytime she would look at her, she would have thought how they both survived. She gave her hope.

                “Hope. I want to name her Hope.”
