ALWAYS AND FOREVER

Cross Pov

It was a delight to watch my wife grow bigger and bigger with our baby each day that turned into weeks and then months, we returned back to New York temporarily, spent just two weeks, and went back home to Arizona, we both decided it was better to start a family back home in Arizona, Max who had been the runaway kid soon became the new me as dad instructed him to go learn how to run the company, of course, the poor guy didn’t want to, I couldn’t blame him but after talking to him, he decided to eventually go but he firmly told Dad that he had no intentions of running the company so even though I was back home in Arizona, I still had the major post there and still went there for important meetings and business dealings, Katherine and I moved out of the mansion as I didn’t want to keep leaving in my parent’s house, I wanted a home for us, and we both got a beautiful, not so bigger but homey house in a calm environment in Arizona, everything was just going fine for us, this wasn’t the life I planned but was definitely the life I needed, being with my wife and soon our kids is everything.

I walked into our room at the mansion, yup we still had a room here and come here often, I saw my wife sitting and walked towards her, I didn’t like how she looked.

“Katherine? What’s going on?”

I asked running over to her side, she raised her head to look at me and I got scared, she looked so in pain.

“Baby, what happened?”

I asked kneeling in don’t of her, she grabbed my hand and held on tight increasing my fear.

“It’s time,”

“Time? What time?”

I asked confused.

“Time, the baby is coming,”

She revealed.

Okay that got me on my feet and loving but I couldn’t raise her, she was literally two times bigger than me, she yelled at me when I tried to and I ran out to call my parents who came running in, thank God we were at the mansion today, I would have been helpless, my mom and brother who had come home for the weekend helped her get into the car, while Anna and I went to bring the things we had prepared for the delivery, mom had had us have two one at our home and one here in the mansion.

“You just can’t tell when the baby choose to come, the doctors are not always accurate,”

She had said and that turned out to be true because we weren’t expecting until next week.

“My Crossie is going to be a dad,”

Anna said as we both rushed out to where the car was already running and waiting for us, I loaded everything into the booth and hugged Anna who couldn’t go with us to the hospital as she had to look after her twins.

“Come back smiling big brother,”

“I will baby girl,”

I said and got in the car with mom, Max, and Kathy, Max was driving and Mom was trying her best to help Katherine relax as much as she could, it was working, until she grabbed my hair, I hadn’t expected it.

“Wifey that’s painful, let go,”

I cried in pain.

“No, don’t let go, Kathy, Cross bear the pain, okay, you can do it,”

My mom said and Kathy grabbed even harder, I guess I might just go bald before we get to the hospital, we got there in less than Fifteen minutes and we were made to wait outside the labor ward after we signed the papers, a few minutes later, the doctor came and asked me to scrub up, I did immediately, it wasn’t my first rodeo so I knew the drill, I got in there, and held onto Katherine’s hand.

“I love you, baby, you can do it,”This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

I said, remembering I said those exact same words to Anna over a year ago in these same words, Anna’s twins were grown babies now and I wished and prayed my babies will be born safely too. God answered my prayers cuz two hours later I became a dad, of not just one bit two beautiful little princesses, I cried as the doctor guided me to cut the umbilical cord of both babies, my joy was full, I looked at my wife who was so tired and wondered just what in the world I did to deserve such amazing woman and our kids, I still had my parents to thank for this, they were the one that brought Katherine my way and gave me a chance at this happily ever after.

After the babies were dressed, we were moved to a private room, the same room Anna had used when she gave birth, everyone stopped by to say Hi to the newborns and congratulations to us, then I called Dean and Marilyn to give her the good news, speaking of Dean, dude was crazy over his ex foster sister but he didn’t want to admit it, he said I betrayed him by moving back to Arizona and left him in New York to suffer knowing Grace hates him, I just laughed at him and told him to do the right thing by her, I hope he does because I know Grace was just as in love with him as he is to her.

“You did do well in there,”

My wife said bringing me out of my thoughts, she did all the job, I just held her hands.

“Are you kidding me, baby? You did all the work, what did I do in there other than holding your hands and staring stupidly?”

“Holding my hands and not fainting is a good job, you gave me a lot of motivation, thank you,”

“Well, I learned, I should be the one thanking you for the best present ever,”

“I love you Cross and I will give you the world if I have to,”

“I love you more Katherine, you are the only world I need, you and our kids,”

“Good, because you are all we need too,”

“I love you,”

“And I love you,”

I said and kissed her.
