epilogue
These days, rudimentary
Joseph
10 Years later
It feels like yesterday that I got married and teased Thea about having lots of kids. Now, I already have four kids and another one in Thea's tummy and maybe she will giving birth to our fifth child tomorrow. Well, I'm not going to be clumsy again because I've been through this like four times already. I think I can handle it well.
Let me introduce you to me and my wife's children. Well, our first child is a boy, Alex Sanchez. The second one is also a boy, Harry Sanchez. Next, our third child is also a boy, Dylan Sanchez, and the last one is also a boy, Ethan Sanchez. As you see, I have four sons, and Thea gets really upset when every time she gets pregnant, it's a boy, but she still loves them so much. For our fifth child, it's going to be a girl. Thea is so excited for it because she said that finally she has a friend to keep her company other than the boys.
Right now, I'm in the kitchen cooking something for the hungry mommy and her big dinosaurs. "Here you go. Grilled salmon for everyone." I put the plates down and sat next to my beautiful wife. We begin to eat happily.
"Mom, why is your tummy so big?" Harry asks, and she chuckles.
No, it's not, honey; every time I get pregnant with all of you, my stomach gets this big. If you don't believe it, ask your dad." She answered, and I nodded my head.
Well, what if there are two babies in that balloon?" Alex, my eldest son, said excitedly.
"I don't know. The doctor said that there was only one in this balloon." She rubs her stomach, and we just laugh at it. After a few minutes, we have already finished our food, and now me and Thea are sitting in the living room and having some time together while the boys are playing in the backyard together.
"Dear, is getting pregnant making you tired?" I ask her.
"Why suddenly?" She asked me back.
"Because you look like you don't get enough sleep."
"I'm not it, just maybe because I can't wait to meet my little friend." I kissed her forehead.
"I hope you will still love me."
"What are you talking about?" She looms at me. "Don't say that you're going to get jealous of your own daughter. Joseph, don't be so childish. It doesn't suit you at all. Besides, how can I not love my handsome husband, who makes my life like this now?" She said, and I kissed her, even though I couldn't get close to her because of her big stomach, but I still wanted to kiss her.
"Well then, dear. I love you so much." I said.
Just when both of us are having a good time, her face turns. I look at her confused and ask her, Are you okay, dear?" She closed her eyes and suddenly grabbed my hand tightly.
"Babe, I think it's time. Oh my god, it hurts." She said it, and my eyes widen.
"What? But the doc-"
"Forget it and bring me to the hospital now!" She screams, which makes the boys come to us and ask me why.
"All of you stay here, take care of your mom, and I'm going to get her clothes and start the car." I said to run upstairs and take the bag that she had already packed for the hospital. I quickly ran and got to the car to start the engine. Then I ran inside to see her.
"You, you, and you get in the car now." They nodded their heads and headed out. I follow them and quickly get in the car too. I drive the car to the hospital now.
Dad, I think you
Quiet, I'm trying to act normal here." I said to continue driving.
"Dad bu-"
"We will get to the hospital in a few minutes. Don't worry." I cut my son off.
"Mom is n-"
Yeah, yeah, I know. Calm down, everyone." I cut Again.
"Sto-"
"Just a few more turns, and we will arrive." I said, and I wiped the sweat on my forehead.
"DAD! Mom. Is Not Here!" I heard Alex say it, and I pulled the brake, then turned around to the passenger side and saw it was empty. Oh shit. Don't say I leave her at the house in bad condition.
"Oh shit. Fu-"
"Dad, language." Dylan said to me, and I shut my mouth and drove back home more quickly than before. I can't believe I left my wife at home and went to the hospital without her. I thought I wasn't going to be this clumsy, but this time I became more clumsy than before. "Hurry up, dad!" I get out of the car and run into the house to see Thea breathing heavily on the couch.
"Dear! Oh god, I'm so sorry. I don't have any intention to leave you like this. It jus-"
"Shut up and bring me to the hospital!" She shouted at me, and I carried her and brought her to the car. I get to my car and drive off to the hospital. "Oh gosh, it hurts so bad!" Thea said.
"Calm down, dear. Calm down, take a deep breath." I said.
"How CAN I calm DOWN WHEN YOU CLEARLY LEAVE ME AT THE HOUSE AND DRIVE TO THE HOSPITAL WITHOUT ME AT first?" she said, and luckily we already arrived at the entrance. I call the doctor and bring my wife inside. I need to park my car first before I can get inside. I parked my car and am running out of it to be with my wife now.
"Where's your mom?" I ask my sons. They all point at the room in front of them. "You guys stay here alright." I said, and I got in to see my wife ready to give birth. I stand beside her and hold her hand.
"When I count to three, be ready to push." The doctor said One, two, three." Thea pushes and holds my hand very tightly.
After a while, the baby was already out, but when the doctor gave me and Thea a look at it, I saw it was a boy, not a girl. That's weird. It's supposed to be a girl this time. Just when I am thinking, Thea is screaming again, and I look at her. The doctor gave our son to the nurse to hold in a position like earlier. Don't say.... Oh my god, it's twins!
After a few hours in the labour room, the doctor finally transferred Thea to the other room.
"Mom, I told you it wasn't one. See." Alex said, Look at the twin. She responded with a smile because I knew she was tired.
"Dear, let's name the babies." I said.
"I want to name her Charlotte and him Carl. What about that?" She ask.
"That's a good name. I love it." I said that and kissed her forehead.
"That means I have to take care of four younger brothers and one little sister?" Alex asks and looks at me and Thea.
"It's not only you; all of you have to take care of each other. Alright?" They nodded their heads.
"Dear, thank you for bringing these kids into my life. Be a good wife and mom to our kids. Thank you for accepting me as your husband and wanting to spend your life with me. I love you, Thea. I love you so much. Thank you for everything." I said to her, Kiss her.
Umm, mom, dad, we're here." I break the kiss and smile at them.
Now, I have six children, and I am so happy because my family has become bigger.
Thank God for making my life perfect like this.
