Lonely Bride

SARAH’S POV

I again looked back to Sean, who was chewing his inner cheek.

I felt like punching him so hard.

“So, you’ve been up since last night, hmm?” I asked, though knowing the fact.

“Hmm yeah I mean no, I mean yeah I was,” He spoke while breaking the sentence.

“And you were listening to everything I said?” I again asked as the matter of fact.

“Well, we don’t get a chance to hear Mrs Hudson every day, do we?” He spoke, smirking.

I was a little mad at him but it’s better he heard what I wanted to say because I don’t know if I would don’t the same now.

“I won’t leave you. Ever.” Ignoring my look, he spoke, holding my hand.

His eyes help with promise and honesty and this confirmation has melted my heart already.

I refrain from using any words, but I know he can read my eyes, which only held gratitude and admiration towards this man.

“How are the babies?” He changes the subject before I start crying again.

Hearing his question made me numb again.

How are they? I haven’t asked a single time about them, as I was too worried about Sean.

What will the answer be now?

I felt ashamed. I mean, what kind of mother I am.

“They are fine, I guess. Still in NCU” I spoke.

“So, what did we get? Girls or boys?” He asked.

I looked up. His eyes were twinkling in happiness and I could see how either he is to know.

“Both,” I replied with a small smile. Thankfully, I had some knowledge.

“Both?” He asked, not understanding my words.

“We are blessed with a boy who is two-minute older than our girl.” A smile broke on my lips and so was his.

This man has already proven how amazing a father he is and I know he will be the same for these two as well.

Tears of happiness pooled in his eyes; he kissed my knuckles. “Thank you.” He cried and tears dropped from his eyes.

“Thank you.” I spoke with a small smile.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

I know it must be very difficult for him to put everyone’s life on the stack, but he still did it for the sake of me and I will be grateful for my whole life.

“What do they look like?” He asked once more questions, but now I am highly embarrassed.

“Amm actually, I.. i was so worried about it so I did not even see them.” Spoke with honesty.

Surprise did not go unnoticed by my eyes, looking at his face. But I know he will understand my mental stage. At that period my mind was haywire and the only thig was running in my mind was wellbeing of Sean. My heart, body and soul had an only prayer that he should be all right. The mare thought something will happen to him was making me insane.

“No worries. I am fine now. We shall soon be able to see them, hmm?” he took over my guilt in no time and I nodded.

I know he can read me in and out. This man does not have a green flag to have him in my life, but he is a greenfield. A keeper. A dream desire of any women out there. I smile, feeling grateful to have him in my life.

TIME SKIP

Finally, it’s time for us to see our bundle of flowers.

I looked down and Bella, who was standing impatiently looking at the glass box and waiting for the doctor to give us the babies.

I smile and look back at babies who are looking here and there.

They are too tiny and fragile.

My heartbeat was running fast and my hands were itching to touch their feather skin.

For so many days, we were only allowed to hold their hands, but now finally they are fit to stay in the same environment as we are.

I look at Sean and who looks equally excited as me and Bella.

Finally, the doctor gave my son into my arms, and the nurse gave our daughter to Sean.

An entirely new feeling and spark felt in my body when his tiny hands touched my skin.

Tears again pooled in my eyes and I shower the kisses all over his face.

I notice his beautiful blue eyes. Neither it resembles mine like green nor Sean like grey. This baby has different eye colours and beautiful snow-white skin.

I look at my daughter. She was looking at his father without breaking her stare. Sean had an alluring smile on his face and I could say how hard it was to control his emotions.

“Mommy, I want to hold the baby.” Bella spoke, jumping.

“Baby, they are too small and you are too small to hold them. How about you sit on the chair and I give him into your arms?” I asked, and she instantly obliged and sat on the chair next to us.

“Daddy, you know I have already decided their name.” Bella spoke, but her eyes stuck on the baby while Sean gave me my daughter and walked to Bella.

“Oh, that’s great, do you mind sharing with us?” He spoke, looking at the baby in Bella’s arm.

“Seana Bella Hudson & Ayden Bella Hudson” She spoke cheekily, and we burst out laughing.

“Well, that’s a very nice name, but we can’t use the middle name Bella for Ayden. Amm how about Seana Sean Hudson and Aiden Sean Hudson just like Bella Sean Hudson?” Bella’s face fell the moment we laughed but Sean instantly came up with a solution which she happily accepted.

I look at my entire family. Tears rolled out of my eyes looking at their cheerful faces. They might not understand fully how blessed they are to have family around, but I can see. I thank my almighty instantly for giving me such a beautiful family. They not only fulfil my heart with their love, but they have filled the gap of loneliness I have felt all my life. The mare of thought anyone has to go through what I have gone is heart wrenching for me. The mare of thought my kids are quivering is high fever, while no one is around them is scary for me. I would never let my kids go through what I have gone in my life. I would like to cherish each moment I have with them. It seems finally God has showered all the happiness I could ever deserve.
