The doors shut and I stood there for a few moments letting his words settle in. I’d never felt so happy in my entire life as I turned and made my way to my new life.
Meagan
THE MOMENT HE walked into the room, the energy changed. With a smile so breathtaking, I would have fallen to my knees had I been standing up. “Hey,” I
barely said as tears flowed freely from my eyes.
Quickly wiping them away, I let out a frustrated cry and shook my head. “I’m so damn sick of crying!”
Sobs shook my body as Grayson quickly kissed me. “You look beautiful.”
My lower lip jetted out in a pout as I said, “I don’t feel it. I don’t think I can do this.”
Cupping my face in his hands, Grayson looked into my eyes. “Listen to me. You are the strongest person I know. You’ve been through hell with this pregnancy, Meg. Hell, this whole year!”
My hands covered his. “No! This has been the best year of my life. Look at us. We have a house and our world is about to be forever altered.” Lifting a brow, I asked, “You’re not spooked?”
Grayson chuckled. “Not in the least bit.”
My heart felt as if it was going to burst.
“Come on, Meagan. One more push and you’re done!”
Exhaustion swept over my body as I leaned into Grayson. “I can’t do this. I’m so tired.”
Grayson kissed my forehead and held onto my hand. “Baby, one more push, do it for me.”
Looking at him, I shot him a dirty look. “Do it for you? Do it . . . for you? You got me in this position in the first place! You do it if you think it’s so easy . . . oh God another contraction!”
“Push now, Meagan. One good push sweetie and you’re done,” Dr. Johnson said.
Leaning forward, I pulled every ounce of energy I had to push again. The sounds of crying filled the air as I collapsed back against the bed.
Grayson’s face was covered in tears. Turning to me, he cupped my face and kissed me so passionately, I couldn’t help but let out a little whimper.
“You did it! And you looked beautiful the whole time.”
I let out a chuckle as I watched the nurses moving about. Grayson’s eyes followed mine as he took everything in. “Holy crap. I think God’s paying me back for my previous profession.”
Laughing, I shook my head at Grayson. “I think so, stripper boy!”
Two nurses walked up on either side of me as they placed a baby in each of my arms. Grayson leaned over and kissed the baby in my right arm first.
“Welcome to the world, my precious Arabella Marie Bennett.”
Pulling back, he kissed the baby in my left arm. “Welcome to the world, my sweet Charlotte Christine Bennett.”
His eyes lifted as they captured mine. “Are you happy?” I asked.
Nothing but loved filled his eyes as he slowly shook his head.
“I’ve never been so happy in my entire life.” Glancing down to our two baby girls, Grayson’s chin trembled as he fought to hold back his tears. “I promise you, I will forever love and protect you, and I will never leave my three beautiful girls.”
I was quickly brought back to the moment our lives were forever changed.
Dr. Johnson placed the warm gel on my stomach and smiled. “Let’s take a look at your baby shall we?”
I was bubbling over with excitement as Grayson squeezed my hand as I glanced at my mother and Ashley standing behind Grayson. Ashley and James had flown in to meet my parents and she was thrilled when we asked her and my mother to come today.
