ログインConallI wake to the sound of Serena and our boys’ giggles, along with the dogs exciting barks outside of our bedroom window. I smile as I listen to it. I love waking up to it. It is the most beautiful way to start the day.I climb out of bed and go to the window. Serena is chasing the boys, and the dogs are chasing them too, all around the garden. Even our calves we got last week seem to be joining in the fun. It is the perfect view. I watch them for a moment, wondering how long they have been up, but they all seem happy, and that is the main thing. I love watching Serena with our boys. She really is the best mom in the world. Her favourite thing in the world is being their mom.I pull on some joggers and a tee, exiting the bedroom. I walk through the house to the kitchen to make Serena and me some coffee before I go outside to join them. They are too busy having fun to notice me, but that is fine. I could stand here and watch them all day.“Daddy is awake.” Asher squeals and rushes
Conall“I am so proud of you, my love,” I say to Serena as she lies in bed, exhausted after giving birth to our baby boys after being in labour for fifteen hours.They were born fifteen minutes apart. Thankfully, both are healthy. Yes, they will be closely monitored, but no need for NICU. They are a great weight, especially for twins. Serena is already such an incredible mommy to them. We are so in love with our boys.“Thank you,” she whispers, struggling to keep her eyes open. Her body has been through a lot, not just with the labour, but with the pregnancy too.I stroke the hair from her face. “You should get some rest, angel.”She shakes her. “No, the babies might need me. We still need names for them.”“Serena, I am here if they need anything. They have everything they need. I promise, if we need you, I will wake you up. We can work out names once you have had some rest.”Serena glances over at the cribs where they are sound asleep after being fed and changed. “Not until we give t
SerenaMy due date is coming up quickly, and I wish it would hurry because I feel like I’m losing my mind. I’ve been confined to bed for the past week on the doctor's orders. They’re considering admitting me next week if my condition doesn’t improve. I’d prefer to wait, but I trust they know what’s best for our little ones and me. Who am I to argue? I’m not only feeling physically unwell but also mentally drained. I hate feeling this way. I should be happy and preparing for our sons, not down. My body is under a lot of stress, but all I want is to be celebrating. I carefully sit up, unsure of what to do next. Conall is painting the nursery today, but I don’t want to intrude. I wish I could assist, but I lack the energy. Standing too long makes me dizzy. It’s frustrating! I was so looking forward to working on our boys’ room. We still haven’t chosen names for them. The bedroom door opens, and I expect Conall to walk in, but it isn’t him.“Hey, sweetie. Would you like some company?”“
ConallI am down at the construction site, checking on things and helping. There have been a couple of issues that have delayed it, but that is fine. We are in no rush to move in. We want to wait until the little ones are here and we have them into a routine.My cell vibrates in my pocket, so I quickly pull it out to see if Serena is calling. I don’t like leaving her alone, especially now that she is so exhausted. She is large and having difficulty moving around. She still has a couple of months to go. Serena asked me to come here, mainly to give her a break since I've been kind of a pain—being overly protective, which sometimes irritates her. I can’t help it; there's little else I can do for her. I quickly answer it when I see it is Serena calling. “Hey, is everything okay?”“I am bored. I need to get out of the house. Could you come back and take the dogs for a short walk with me, please?” she sighs.Serena hates that she can’t get around, but she hates even more that she can’t wal
SerenaConall and I leave the hospital in silence and in shock after our twenty-week scan. We head to the car, climb in, and remain silent, staring out the window.“Twins.” Conall finally says, breaking the silence.“Yes, twins.”To say we were shocked was an understatement. We were planning for one, having no idea there was a second one too. It was hiding behind it, brother. We are having two boys, it would seem.“Do you have twins in your family?”I shake my head. “No, not that I know of, but that doesn’t matter. When it comes to twins, it doesn’t always need to run in the family, especially if they are identical.”He nods and stares out of the window. Neither of us was expecting this. I am surprised it wasn’t picked up before now, but it can happen, especially if one is hiding. This is crazy! Two babies! Not one, but two!“How are you feeling about this?”“Honestly, I am still processing. We were preparing for one, not two. That will need to change now. How are you feeling about it
ConallIt's the last night here for my mom and Eric before they return to New York tomorrow afternoon. Their visit has gone by quickly; it feels like they just arrived a few days ago. Saying goodbye to my mom again will be hard. We plan to visit them soon, but for only a few days because we can't leave the dogs with someone else for too long. Plus, there's a lot happening with the new place, so we want to be nearby in case anything comes up. Eric and I went to pick up food, so there's no need to cook. We could have ordered delivery, but it was faster for us to get it in person. “Conall, do you have a moment to talk before we go get the food?” Eric asks anxiously. “Sure. Is everything okay?”He removes his seatbelt and faces me, taking a deep breath. “I hope so. There's something I want to ask you. I was planning to do it when we first arrived, but there was already so much happening." “Eric, what's happening? Is my mom okay? Are you both alright?" “Your mom is fine. Our relations
SerenaI haven’t heard from Conall since he stormed out of my place this morning. I feel guilty for how I acted. He has helped me so much. Conall is the last person who deserves my bitchiness. It has crossed my mind many times throughout the day to reach out to him, but something has been holding m
ConallI wake to an empty bed. Serena isn’t next to me. Reaching for my cell, I check the time. It is only six. Where did she go? We only fell asleep a few hours ago. Sitting up, I pull it together and run my fingers through my messy hair. My heart broke for her last night. I knew it was too much f
SerenaConall is sound asleep next to me. We had dinner, sex and now he has crashed out. I can't sleep, thought. My thoughts are in overdrive—thoughts I don't want to be thinking. Sighing, I rest my hand on my stomach and close my eyes, my mind drifting back to the horrible day.~~~~~~They rushed
ConallI am eager to finish and go to Serena’s place to see what happened today. I did offer to go with her. It was probably a good thing she said no because I had meetings outside of the office. I haven’t had the pleasure of running into Henry today, thank God. He better not have acted like an ass
