Epilogue
One Year Later
Big Dick looked down into his sleeping twins’ faces.
One boy.
One girl.
Not quite identical twins, but twins, nonetheless.
Naming their babies had been a bit of a challenge.Larissa wanted Gabe and Gabriella, and he refused.
Next was Ashley and Ashley.
Again, he refused.
So, after a few days, they had agreed to Hawk and Mabel Erickson.His two babies.The absolute loves of his life, as well as his wife.
Watching her give birth, he had been a complete and total train wreck, from the moment her water broke to finally hearing the cry of his baby.Hawk had come first, screaming his lungs out and looking like a fighter.Mabel had taken another couple of minutes, and she finally came out but needed a little coaxing to scream.When she did, it was the best noise he had ever heard.
He looked up as he saw his wife enter the room, and she had this big smile on her face.
“I knew I’d find you in here,” she said, coming to stand with him.
“I can’t help it, they’re so beautiful, and I just want to make sure they’re okay,” he said.
She chuckled.“You do not have to make excuses to me.I know they are so perfect and so cute, and I just want to pick them up all the time.”
They had been warned that if they did pick them up all the time, babies would come to expect it.Balance.
“Come on,” he said.
They had the baby monitor in the room, and he grabbed it, leaving their babies to sleep and finally getting some quiet time with his wife.
It had been a rough few months.In the early months of coming home, finding a routine, Big Dick had not left her side.He was never going to be accused of being an absent parent.He loved his babies and he loved his wife.
He was shocked to enter the dining room to see dinner was already prepared and waiting for them.
“You did all of this while I was putting our children to bed?”Big Dick asked.
“You’ve been a real hero to me.You’re always there, helping me get the sleep I need, expressing milk, and just, you’re my rock, Big Dick.Now, I get to take care of you.”
He pulled her in close and kissed her.“You’re everything to me.”
She laughed.“You know, I will never get tired of hearing that.”
“Good, because I am never going to get tired of saying it.”
