Using the Biker

He’d gone to the bathroom that night to find her with a damp towel between her teeth, sweat beading her forehead. She had finally told him she needed to go to the hospital.

There hadn’t been enough time to get her signed in, but with how late it was, the doctors escorted her straight to labor. That had only been five minutes ago, and now, his son and daughter were being stubborn.

They were hurting her, and he couldn’t stand to hear her pain.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, a scream filled the air. The sound was strong and fierce. Doc didn’t dare look, just in case something happened.

His men had taken the piss out of him for all the pregnancy books he’d read. He hadn’t cared with Dale’s mother. She had been nothing more than a quick fuck that had resulted in a pregnancy.

With Jo, he paid attention.

He was at every single doctor’s appointment, and all of the classes she wanted him to go to. Regardless of how he made people feel, he was there for her.

“One more push, baby,” he said. “One more push.”

“I’m so tired.”

“I know. I know. You’re amazing. You’re stunning. You’re beautiful.” He kissed her as the doctor tried to get her to push. “Come on, we’re nearly done.”

She sighed but grabbed his hands as she needed to push.

He held her, taking the pain as she squeezed down. Finally, another scream, and Jo collapsed against him, sobbing.

“They sound so beautiful,” she said.

“They’re ours, Jo. You and me did this.”

The nurses came over, holding out two bundles.

One placed his little girl in his arms, as his son was given to Jo. He stood as close to her as he could.

“Are you okay?” he asked, worried for her.

“I’m … so happy. Look what we did,” she said.

“You did this, honey. You brought these two angels into the world.” He stared down at his daughter and at his son. “They’re perfect. You’ve got a big brother. Both of you have a big brother. He’s going to love you so much.”

“Dale and Mandy, we’ve got to tell them.”

“I will. I’ll call them.”

“What should we name them?” she asked.

“Rachel and Kyle,” he said.

She chuckled. “You really like those names.”

He stared down at the woman he loved. “As long as I have you, I don’t care.”

“I love those names.” She turned to their babies. “Rachel and Kyle it is. You’re going to be so loved.”

Doc stayed with Jo until she fell asleep. With his two babies asleep in their crib, he left the room to let Mandy and Dale know about their birth. He hung up the phone and made his way back inside.

Moving onto the bed, he spooned his wife, wrapping his arms around her.

Kissing her neck, he closed his eyes, content, in love, and knowing that come morning, it was going to be hell.

He couldn’t wait.

The End
