I watch Adrian apply red nailpolish on my toes and I place a hand on my baby bump. The twins both better be hot as fuck or I'm returning them. I was apparently due in a week, and Adrian is busy making sure that I don't leave the house at all.
Oh, and he was also busy killing people.
My seven year old nephew would get excited everytime he felt one of them kick. "Peasant!" I shout at Adrian. "Paint my fingers now." I laugh at my use of words.
"I'm a twenty-seven year old mafia leader," He grumbles. "Yet somehow, I'm a peasant for my wife." I grin widely at my husband who gets off the floor and sits next to my on the sofa.
"How is the future father doing?" I ask, as I wrap my arms around his neck pulling him into a kiss.
"Nervous," He admits. "It's going to be a boy and a girl, right? I'm still thinking about what we can name them."
"Do you know what the little boy's name would be? The one who'd probably be ten years old right now if he hadn't died in the crash."
"His name was Tiger."
I nod as Adrian places a hand on my belly. Everytime he did that, it made butterflies erupt in my stomach. Usually when he was loving with me, it was passionate and powerful, but this time, it's gentle. "You'll be an awesome dad," I tell him.
"You'll be an awesome mom," He returns. "I felt one of them kick. I just know that one of them will be an athlete."
"Adrian?" I ask, my smile slightly faltering.
"What if... what if I'm a bad parent? Like my mom and dad? It's in my genes... Adrian, I don't want to be like them."
"Baby," He begins, his voice soft and caring. "I've known you since you got freedom from your father. You're the sweetest, bravest person I've ever met. You're nothing like your parents. If you can't be a good mother, then I don't know who can."
I smile at him, a few tears welling up in my eyes. "I love you."
"I love you too."
"Adrian?"
"Hm?"
"I'm going to go and pee. Don't miss me too much." I shift my legs off the couch, and stand up. Good heavens, twins really make my belly look huge. I place my hand under my belly as I walk towards the elevator.
Do you really expect a pregnant woman to take the stairs? Do you? That's what I thought.
When I first told Adrian that I was pregnant, he was ecstatic. When I told my friends, they were all out of this world happy, and Teddy was like "I'm going to get a sibling?"
It was really cute.
I think Giraffe was a little jealous that he was going to get some competition, but he got over it.
I walk over to the bathroom and glance at myself in the mirror. I shoot finger guns at myself. I was three in one, bitch. I deserve all the finger guns. I slide down my pants, before taking a seat on the toilet.
I hum to myself as I pee, not bothering to close the door because Adrian and I are the only ones who live here. As of now. I pat my belly. "You two are going to be here soon," I tell the twins. "You better get along, because I'm not going to hand them fights."
When I'm done with my business, I clean myself up and wash my hands, shooting finger guns at myself again. I begin to walk towards the elevator, when I feel something pop. And then something wet...
Uh oh. When I said they'll be here soon, I didn't mean this soon! I still didn't finish reading the Parenting books that I totally procrastinated on!
"Adrian!" I call out. "I'm pretty sure my water broke! Get your ass over- Oh hi. I didn't know I married the Flash," I comment, looking at Adrian who was already here.
"Should I call 911?" He asks, clearly panicking. "What's the number for 911?! Oh my God, you're going to die!" I roll my eyes before bringing out my phone and ringing 911 myself. I hold it out to him so he can speak.
"Her water broke!" He shouts into the phone. "No, she does not look in pain, but she could be panicking on the inside!"
Find the zen, Bailey. Resist the urge to break that vase on your husband's head.
"Okay, the ambulance will be here soon," He tells me. "It's going to be okay." He says that in a way that makes me believe that he's saying that to himself.
Oh boy.

Nope, I'm going into fucking labor. I can't do this. I can't fucking do it. Having kids is more painful than I thought. We aren't even in the fucking hospital yet! "FUCK!" I yelled as I felt a pain in my belly.
"That's normal," The nurse smiles at me calmly.
"Don't tell me it's fucking normal! I'm having kids! I'm twenty-four and having kids! Leave me alone! Actually, don't leave me alone, I might die."
The ambulance came to a stop and the doors opened as they wheeled me out and into the hospital. I closed my eyes, thinking to myself about how I was going to kill Adrian for getting me pregnant.
It doesn't matter if we were ready! I don't care if I told him I wanted a kid! He was going to die! I know where he keeps his guns! I'm not afraid to use them!
As they wheel me inside, I notice that my friends are here too. Well, it's actually only Anna, and Luna. Dylan, Blake and Kaden were with Teddy's math competition. I just know they're helping him cheat.
I also think I'm distracting myself excellently.
When they have me on a hospital bed, with Adrian right next to me, and Anna and Luna here for support because Adrian can't stop panicking, they tell me to push.
"Push," One of the doctors tells me.
"I'M FUCKING TRYING!" I yell as sweat trickles down my forehead.
"You got this you bad bitch!" Anna cheers.
"Oh my God, Teddy won the math competition!" Luna squeals. "I mean, yes Bailey! Let's get those babies out of your body! Whoo!"
"Adrian, I can't do this," I breathe. "It hurts, I'm scared."
"Don't stop," He whispers in my ear. "Because you're a strong queen. You're my strong queen and when our kids are born, Teddy will be a big brother to them. They'll have a loving dad and an even more loving mom."
As he continues to whisper in my ear, I continue to push until I hear the first crying sound. My son was officially born. "One more to go!" Anna cheers. Finding motivation to push, I begin again and after a few minutes later, my daughter comes out.
A couple minutes later, the doctors place my son in my arms and soon, places my daughter in Adrian's arms. When I look at him, at mine, I feel a different kind of love. When I look at the life I gave birth to all huddled up in a little blanket, nothing matters anymore.
I turn to Adrian, who is crying as he looks at our daughter the way a father looks at his daughter. His face crumples up every so slightly as he smiles through his tears. Tears well up in my eyes too and I look at them both. "I'm naming him Tiger," I declare in a quiet voice.
"Then her name is Lily," Adrian whispers. "Tiger Lily, like the flower."
"Tiger and Lily," I repeat as Adrian places my daughter in my arms. I look at the both of them. They look as soft and delicate as flowers, and all the pain I went through fades away.
"Welcome to the world."

a/n: Tiger Lily, like the flower ;) The exotic, beautiful flower. idk where tf this idea came from, I thought, since they named their tortoise Giraffe, why not name their child after an animal too? and then I thought, TWINS! and then I remembered the flower. I was like, TIGER LILY!
