I woke up in the morning to find absolute silence and an empty bed. I opened my eyes slowly as a few rays of light flickered between the curtains. I stretched in bed and yawned fighting my morning laziness and then I almost jumped off bed when I saw the time. 11am. I got up expecting to find James and Marcella in the living room but no one was there and then I peeked in her room and no one was there either. I came back to my room and ran the curtains open. The sun was shinning high and the beach was already filled with people then I noticed an envelope with a red rose on it on James’s pillow, I smiled and picked it up smelling the rose before opening the envelope.

I was surprised to find some sort of ticket to a Spa and there was a note from James:

“Morning love,

Marcella is on her way to EuroDisney with Lars so don’t worry about her. I won’t be with you the whole daytoday but you need to follow my instructions. Trust me.
This card is your pass to a Spa. The van will take you there so you don’t have to worry. You must be back at the hotel at 15.30 pm. More instructions will follow.
Enjoy your time and I can’t wait to see you.
I love you.
Kisses.

James”

I couldn’t help my smile but at the same time my mind tried to find what was behind all that. I showered quickly and got dressed even faster so I could profit from my visit to the Spa. Outside the hotel the van was waiting for me and I gave the driver the card with the address. He rode me through the streets of the village and less than 10 minutes later he parked in front of a gate with a large fountain.

“Here we are miss.” He informed. “What time should I pick you up?”

“Around 15.15.pm, please.” I said remembering James’s note asking me to be back at the suite at 15.30pm. He nodded and I walked in. Some women walking around in a white robe greeted me, they were clients for sure and then I headed to the reception. I gave them the card James had left me and the girl guided me to a room.

“So, first is the massage.” She said. “This card gives you access to a massage, a body hydrate and rejuvenating skin treatment then we’re gonna do your nails and you hair in another section.” I almost laughed thinking James was doing all that to his own profit at the end of the day but I knew he wanted me to have a quiet and relaxing day. I laid in the bed as the girl instructed me and the massage began. It was delicious. I loved how my muscles began to relax under her hands and I basically fell asleep as she did it. The relaxing music playing low, the candle light was just too much for my pregnant condition. I can tell I went to heaven.

Once the massage was done I was taken to another room and my body received a treatment with chocolate, then it was taken off and two women began to run lotion all over it. It smell so good and the chocolate made me hungry and that’s what happened next. I had lunch; a nice chicken salad with an orange juice and mango in the end. Light and healthy meal, I loved that. Already with my clothes on and my stomach full they took me to another section of the Spa, a public area already where my nails began to be done. I chose a white tone as I didn’t know what I was going to wear later and this way it would go with anything. I got an extra present and my feet were done too and then it was my hair.

My hair received an amazing treatment; and in the end I just asked her to let it fall normally down my shoulders, she just worked on its curls but it looked natural. What can I say…I got out of there ten years younger, happy and relaxed as I haven’t been in months. It was an amazing present. The van was waiting for me outside and took me back to the hotel, I was expecting James to be there and I couldn’t wait to thank him properly, only I was mistaken. When I opened the door of our suite the curtains were closed and the suite was dark lightened by candles. I noticed another red rose and an envelope on the table. So, he had been there but he wasn’t there. I opened the envelope to find another note with his hand written:

“Hope you liked the Spa.
I have another surprise for you in our bathroom. Do not open the box that is on the bed, that’s for later. Enjoy.

Love and kisses

James”

I giggled enjoying his game and respected his instructions, I noticed a big white box with a pink ribbon on it on the bed but I didn’t look as he had requested. I opened the door of the bathroom to find an amazing bath prepared. Petals of roses scattered on the floor. The tub with tiny candles around it and the water in the tub was warm. I took off my clothes, tied up my hair carefully and then got in the tub. I didn’t need another bath but I guess I could enjoy a little bit more of his surprises. I closed my eyes and hoped I would not fell asleep and I stayed there until my skin began to wrinkle. When I picked up the towel another envelope fell on the floor.

“Wow…he really put a lot of work into this.” I laughed alone.

“Finish with the bath? Now you can open the box.

James”

I finished drying myself and even naked I walked up to the box. When I was about to unwrap the ribbon I noticed a card and James hand writing again.

“This is for you to wear tonight.
Meet me at the lobby at 5pm.
I love you.”

“Oh my god…he is insane!” I spoke all alone. “Why all this?” I still talked while I unwrapped the present. My heart was racing by then, he was leaving me nervous. Inside the box I found a gorgeous black dress. He knew black was my favorite color. I put the dress in front of me and looked in the mirror. “So gorgeous but am I going to the Oscars or something?” I also found the matching sandals with the dress, I put everything on the bed and began to get dressed, 5pm would be there soon.

I raided my lingerie and took my time choosing what to wear under that perfect dress, I decided to go with black satin thong and the matching bra. I slid inside the dress and looked in the mirror, I couldn’t help but smile. Since I was that well dressed I guessed the occasion asked for makeup and so I spent a few time doing it but always with light tones to keep it natural too. My hair was done so I didn’t have to worry about that, I just fixed it a little bit with my fingers and I ended with diamond rings in my ears and the matching necklace, a few drops of perfume but then I stopped in front of the bottles I had taken with me thinking which one of them James liked the most. I picked the 212 Carolina Herrera bottle, that was the one. 16.55, I put on my sandals and I picked up my hand purse and left with my heart beating a mile per second. I was going to see him and I was anxious.

When reached the lobby I found James walking around with his head down dressed up in a black tux. My jaw dropped, he looked stunning.

“Hi.” I said when I reached him. He raised his head and his eyes glowed.

“You look so beautiful.” He said sounding nervous. I walked up to him and kissed his lips taking my time.

“You are crazy.” I said smiling.

“We need to go.” He said giving me his arm and outside there was not the van or a usual car waiting for us but a limo.

“James!” I exclaimed running out of words. The driver opened the door for us and we got in.

“This would be perfect if now I’d have champagne in here but I can’t drink and you’re pregnant so…” I didn’t let him finish and pressed my lips against him.

“Why all this?” I asked him.

“I just want to show you how special you are.” He said.

“It’s a bit soon to have dinner.” I told him.

“We’ll land in Paris around 8pm, so I guess that’s the perfect time.” He smiled.

“We’re going to Paris? You’re taking me to have dinner in Paris?” James smiled again.

“I got everything under control.” He said grabbing my hand and I felt him shaking a bit. The limo left us at the airport and there was a private jet waiting for us, it took off the minute we were sat safely not wasting any time, landing in Paris two hours after. Another Limo waiting for us outside and we were driven through the streets of Paris once more.

“I can’t believe this.” I told him.

“You deserve it.” He said. There was such a special glow in his eyes that I was falling for him even more if that was even possible.

“And then we’re coming back to Lisbon?” James shook his head.

“No, we’re coming back to Lisbon just tomorrow morning. I have to be there on time for the show.”

“You are crazy.” I said smiling and shaking my head at him. James came closer to kiss my lips in a devastated tender way.

“I am crazy for you.” He whispered against my lips.

The limo stopped in front of the restaurant. When I got out the doorman delivered a bucket of red roses to James that he delivered to me. I took his arm and we got in. If I thought he could no longer surprise me I was wrong. Inside the restaurant there was only one table with candle light and at a corner a band playing. He had reserved the restaurant just for us.

“James…” I looked at him in a awe.

“Don’t say anything.” He said guiding me to the table.

“But why all this?” I asked him again. James just placed a kiss on my hand leaving me without an answer. As we sat the waiter served us of some water and juice and another one brought a salad.

“So, did you like the Spa?” He asked.

“Oh…” I said rolling my eyes. “It was awesome. The massage…I fell asleep.” I told him. James laughed. “How was your day?” I asked him entwining my fingers in his.

“Mine was a rush. Preparing all this.” He said. “But wonderful at the same time. I loved to make you all the surprises. And the notes…” He laughed.

“I loved the notes babe. I kept them all in my purse as a souvenir, no one has ever done anything like this to me. Thank you.” I bent a little bit to kiss him. Then the waiter brought us the main dish. Salmon fumée with boiled potatoes and cream sauce. I devoured the food while James watched me laughing.

“You were hungry.” He told me.

“I am always hungry. I have to be careful otherwise I’m gonna be huge.” Then I sighed. “I am gonna be huge either way.” He smiled at me tenderly.

“You’re gonna look perfect as you always do.”

“Uh…I bet!” I laughed. James got up and gave me his hand pulling me to dance with him. We glued our body and we danced slow and close for a while.

“You’ll look great and I will love you even more.” He spoke in my ear.

“Are you really happy?” I asked him. James strayed a bit so he could meet my eyes with his.

“Of course I am Ade. I love you. You make me feel complete Ade. Since you arrived in my life I feel blessed. You make my heart beat faster every time you look in my eyes, like you’re doing now. You make me smile just by the simple fact that you exist Ade. With you I feel safe and powerful, I feel like nothing can destroy me. With you I found peace, I found home. I love you now and I always will.” He kissed my lips and then gave me his hand back to the table. When I sat back there was a red box open with a solitaire in it. I looked at James shocked and he dropped on one knee near my chair. “ Adriana, I love you since the first time that I saw you and I am happy with you like I never was and I hope you feel the same way I do…” James grabbed my hand with his trembling hands. I figured out why he was so nervous.

“James…” I whispered but he signaled me to stop.

“If you feel the same way I do then please marry me.” Tears rolled down my face and I saw his eyes flickering with water. I cleaned my tears with my hand and then I clutched onto his neck feeling his arms holding me close. I was home. He was home. I had found my missing place in him. There was only one answer I could give him.

“Yes babe.” I said sobbing. “Of course I’ll marry you.” I said. James took his hand to the table and grabbed the ring placing it on my finger. I looked at it amazed and then cupped his face between my hands.

“I love you.” I said leaning my forehead against him. Now everything made sense, why he had been so mysterious in the last days. He was preparing all that just for me.

“And I love you.” He said back.

After our crushing dinner the limo was still outside waiting for us.

“It’s not over yet.” He said in my ear as the limo began to roll.

“How much did you spend in all this?”

“It doesn’t matter.”
The limo stopped in front of the luxurious Ritz hotel and James took me to the presidential suite locking the door behind us.

“I already said yes.” I laughed. “You didn’t need this part.”

“But I wanted it to be complete.” He pulled to him.

“And now what?” I asked him running a hand through his hair. He bent a bit over my lips brushing his in mine and then whispered against them.

“Now love me.”

The intensity he put onto his words was such that my heart raced as if it was the first time I had him that close to me. I would love him indeed, today, tomorrow and forever. He kept his lips slightly parted near mine and I took a deep breath before I kissed them softly. He stood still enjoying while I kissed them then he just pulled me to him for a more demanding kiss. His lips pressured mine with desire and his arms surrounded me holding me against his body and his hands pressured on my back as the kiss deepened. Our tongues met and tangled in a seductive dance and my hands traveled to his shoulders under his tux and I made it slid down, James let go of me that moment to let it fall on the floor sliding off his arms then his hands cupped my face and he broke the kiss.

“Come…” He spoke against my lips catching my hand with his at the same time. I just smiled and followed him in silence, closing the door of the room behind me when we got in. I sat on the bed and got rid of my sandals while James gaze burned on mine then I got up and began to unbutton his shirt slowly as I kissed him again at the same time, his hands slid up through my arms surrounding my neck in a way that made me shudder. His touch was soft, tender and caring. Then the tip of his fingers slid through my hair tugging it with his hands and gently pulling it back giving him the opportunity to kiss my neck. Nothing was rushed, we were taking out time on exploring our body.

When I got his shirt unbuttoned I ran my hands through his skin, he was so warm and even soft. I loved to touch him and to explore him.

“Let me take this off.” I told him trying to pull the shirt down his arms, then he let go of me so I was able to strip him. I threw the shirt randomly on the floor and my hands came back to explore his chest. His hands unzipped my dress and looking me in the eye he pulled the straps down, in seconds I was just in my lingerie in front of his eyes. He bit his lips scrutinizing my almost naked body.

“Hummm…that is so sexy.” He groaned clutching his hands on my hips pulling me for another kiss. I unbuckled his belt and unzipped his pants. James let go of me and pulled them off his legs then he laid me on the bed laying on top of me. My neck was his target again. “You smell so good Ade.” He breathed on his way to my lips again. His hands roamed in a delicious way on my body. His hands burned on my skin, his fingers pressuring every inch, his breathing already uncontrolled. “Take this off.” He asked me grabbing my bra on his hands, I took my hands to my back arching a bit and I unclasped it. He threw it away somewhere in the bedroom. His lips closed around my left nipple while his tongue circled around it.

“Oh…baby…” I gasped tangling my hands on his hair. His ran his hands down my body stopping in my thighs, without any effort he parted my legs and teased me thrusting while we were still in our underwear. My hips raised so he could thrust better, I was aching for any touch I could have with him. He giggled when he finished feasting in my breasts.

“Always so eager Ade.” He whispered against my skin. “You drive me insane.” He bit my chin. I tugged my hands in his boxers and began to pull it off and then I managed to slid a hand between us and I grabbed his erection stroking it softly. He jerked a bit under my touch but continued on kissing me deadly. His hips began to thrust against my hand as our tongues played together. He broke the kiss and got up pulling his boxers off then he kneeled in front of me pulling my thong down my legs. His hands ran the full length of my legs, his face gave me a saucy smile as he did it then making his way back again he stopped on my knees and pulled my legs apart, crawling back on top of me after. “And he wants you darling to be his bride.” he sang and whispered at the same time making me laugh.

“Loverman…” I breathed into his mouth.

“I’m your loverman.” He played.

“Forever, amen.” I whispered as I felt him sliding in slowly as I was adjusting. “Ooohh..” I moaned feeling him. James caught my hands in his and entwined his fingers with mine. Our eyes looking at each others souls. Our bodies glued and melting into one. Whispers, moans, gasps, love words filling the room as we loved each other slow.

“This will be the beginning of our lives.” He said in my ear.

“I love you James. I love you so much.” I said.

“Oh…Ade…” He growled on the back of his throat. I was feeling the urge on his body and his hands left mine and he clutched onto my hips firmly, his fingers burring in my skin, his lips swollen, his face flushed, his tempers sweating and my body squeezing him more and more as my pleasure was peaking. Not resisting his adrenaline his pace was faster and my hips searched for him eagerly. “Fuck…” He growled again clenching his teeth.

“I am there…” I blurted as that tremendous feeling of the world disappearing hit me. My body seizure under him and I quivered moaning his name countless times. He did not resist and thrust harder, leaning on his elbows he lowered his lips searching for mine. “Ade…” He said as he convulsed riding his orgasm. He thrust a couple more times slowing the pace until he collapsed on top of me out of breath. I hugged him tightly while he rested then he kissed my neck again and leaned back on his elbows to look in my eyes.

“Together forever.” He kissed.

“Forever sounds good.” I smiled. James rolled on the bed pulling me with him. My head rested on his chest as I heard his heartbeat still beating fast. “I’m sleepy.” I complained. James giggled and caressed my hair.

“Close your eyes.” He kissed the top of my head, his arms protected me from the world outside. I was strong with him, with him I was invincible. I closed my eyes as he asked and his heartbeat did the job of a perfect lullaby.

********

“Ade…” James knocked at the bathroom door. “Sweetie are you ok?” I got up from the floor and unlocked the door for him. James entered the bathroom and I opened the water in the shower. “Is everything alright babe?” He asked me clutching his body against mine from the behind and kissing my shoulder. “Morning.”

“I am fine, just the usual sickness.” I told him. I took his hands off me and kissed one of them going under the water the next minute. James stood there naked looking at me. “Don’t you wanna come here?” I suggested. He smiled and stepped in, taking me on his arms.

“We don’t have much time.” He kissed my lips.

“Hey, now I remember. We don’t have clothes to put on except for the ones we were wearing last night.”

“And you think I didn’t think about that?”

“You did?”

“Yes…There’s a bag with clothes for both of us. I brought it with me but you were so entertained that you didn’t notice.” He kissed the tip of my nose.

“Everything was perfect James. I loved every bit of it.” I said kissing his lips, I put my arms around his neck and held him tight.

“I would do anything for you.” He whispered.

After the shower we put on the clothes James brought with him and put the fancy clothes in the bag. We had breakfast at the hotel and then we checked out. The same limo was waiting for us outside and took us back to the airport. I wasn’t the same woman that stepped that same ground the night before, I was even happier, more in love than ever and engaged. The diamond shinning in my finger was the proof. I was looking at it while James got everything ready for our flight. With the emotions of last night I hadn’t look at it properly. It was exactly my style. A simple platinum solitaire with a white square stone.

“Do you like it?” He asked in my ear appearing from my behind.

“It’s so beautiful.” I said smiling.

“Let’s go Ade. We’ll have lunch during the flight, I am sorry this part is not that romantic but I am getting a bit late to get to the venue. I am gonna be late for the meet and greet.”

“Don’t worry, what you did for me yesterday was more than enough.” I said.

The two hour flight seemed to last an eternity this time, there was turbulence and I felt really bad. When my feet steeped on Portuguese ground I thanked god I was safe. The van was there waiting for us and we didn’t even had time to go to the hotel first, we went straight to the camp where the festival was taking place. The van entered two huge gates and soon we were in a place packed with tents. There was crew all around, journalists, crew of other bands, band members. It was a mess.

“Dad…” Marcella ran and James picked her up in his arms kissing her.

“Hey guys.” Lars greeted us. “You’re late man you need to go there now.” Lars said. James gave me a peck, put Marcella down and left running. “I am sorry babe.” He said looking back.

“Do your thing.” I told him and I blew him a kiss.

“So?” Lars smiled.

“You knew all the time didn’t you?” I asked him smiling.

“No, I only knew when he asked me to help him. I can see you said yes.” He laughed seeing the ring in my finger.

“You’re going to marry daddy Ade.” Marcella giggle.

“You knew too?” I asked surprised.

“Daddy told me when he left me with Lars yesterday.” She explained.

“Well, of course I said yes. There was not a way I could say no.” I said. “He means the world to me.”

“James, I am going to be late.” I shouted already at the door of our house. We had been home for two weeks and I had this major busy day. I had to meet Danny and Katatonia’s drummer in an office and then I had my first appointment with the doctor at the hospital. I was anxious and nervous, not about the meeting concerning work, no, but about the fact that I was going to know if, in fact, everything was alright with the child I was carrying inside of me. James appeared running downstairs.

“Jesus Ade! Crappy mood in the morning?” He asked me serious.

“No, but you were taking long and I don’t like to be late for my meetings.” I argued.

“We’ll get there on time, Relax!” He argued back. I closed the door and we began to walk to his truck.

“What if there is traffic?” I continued. “What if something happens?” I saw James rolling his eyes and tried not to answer me but I was electric. “Ah, now you don’t say anything.” I teased. He looked back and threw his hands in the air.

“What are you trying to do? Pissing me off? Trying to pick up a fight in the morning over nothing?”

“If I say I want to get out of the house at 10 it’s not 10.30.” I told him as we hopped in the car. James put the key in the ignition and took a deep breath.

“Jesus…” He muttered then he looked at me. “Can you please calm down?” He asked me gently.

“Ok…” I said sulking a bit and looking outside.

“Good…” He said. “Because we don’t need to fight over this alright?” He went silent and I bet he expected me to look at him but I stood still with my arms crossed around my chest. “Can you please look at me?” He asked. “I don’t like when I talk to you and you’re staring at nothing.” I turned my head to face him. “We’ll get there on time.” He said.

“You better be right.” I told him with a menacing look but I guess he was not afraid of that because he chuckled.

“Or what?” He provoked smiling. I smiled back and tapped his arm.

“Gosh, I just hate you!” I exclaimed laughing. He bent over me and kissed my lips.

“No you don’t!” He kissed again. I tapped him again

“Hurry up, we’re gonna be late.” I said, James rolled his eyes and got the engine working.

“Pregnancies and hormones…holy fuck…” He blurted. “Now that you haven’t been sick, your mood in the morning is terrible!” I laughed.

“I am sorry. I’m just a bit nervous about going to the doctor for the first time.” He caught my hand with his and kissed my palm.

“It will be alright.” He said. I could only hope because the idea of having that baby had just sunk in me in such way that I was madly in love with my child already.

I entered the building a couple of minutes later than I should but I decided to give James a rest.

“Wanna go in?” I asked him.

“No, I’ll stay here. I can’t stand those meetings.” He said sitting on the couch and grabbing a magazine. I pecked him and knocked on the door where I found the two Daniel’s, Danny my boss and Daniel the Swedish drummer.

“Nice meeting you.” I said shaking his hand, he held it for a few seconds looking straight into my eyes. We all sat and we discussed the details of my work with them, much to my surprise Daniel informed me that instead of recording in Sweden they had changed their plans and were recording in Sausalito. I was totally fine with that, I could drive home every day. The news were just excellent and I couldn’t wait to deliver them to someone that was waiting outside that room. Not even for me but for him I was happy, he didn’t think it was such a good idea to go to Sweden, first he didn’t want to be separated and second the pregnancy was another of his excuses. After and hour the meeting was over and I was glad about that as well because Daniel’s blue gaze on me was beginning to be a little bit uncomfortable.

As the door opened James put his magazine back on the table and got up. Danny greeted him while Daniel was thanking me for accepting the job. Again I stretched him out my hand and he took it, holding it in his hand not letting go. His eyes sparkled a bit and I didn’t know what to do. James narrowed his eyes scrutinizing him and I smiled a bit clueless.

“So, see you next week.” I told him trying to sound as professional as I could.

“I can’t wait.” He said never leaving my gaze, James’s eyes narrowed even more. I thought maybe it was time to introduce him to my boyfriend so things would be clear, last thing I needed was some guy hitting on me.

“Daniel, this is my boyfriend.” I said pointing at James who shook his hand correcting my words.

“Fiancé actually.” He said trying to defend his cause, Daniel blurted an “Oh” and James smiled at him victorious. Danny elbowed me enjoying the show and I just decided it was time for us to go.

“I am sorry but I have an appointment at the hospital and we need to have lunch first.” I said excusing myself. Daniel left not before shaking my hand one more time and I saw James boiling.

“Can we go?” I said turning to him. He went to the elevators without saying a word. I kissed Danny goodbye.

“I think he’s a bit jealous.” Danny whispered making me giggle.

“I’ll take care of him.” I told him. I went to James and grabbed his hand in mine. We made our way until our car in silence and James face was anything but friendly, it was even cute.

“Hey…” I pulled his face to look at me when we were already inside the car.

“What?” He asked trying to sound normal but I knew when he was just pretending.

“Why the serious face?” I asked.

“Come on…” He complained.

“Let it out, come on.” I said.

“He was hitting on you and you’re gonna be stuck in a studio with him!” He said. I giggled a bit. “Don’t laugh. I don’t like the idea. He was drooling all over you.”

“And he’ll stop as soon as he notices my belly growing, he’s not going to hit a pregnant woman for sure.” I joked trying to make him smile.

“He sure didn’t give a fuck about me!” He still argued. I kissed his cute lips.

“You’re 46, you’re handsome as hell, I don’t see a reason for you to be jealous.” I spoke against his lips smiling. He smirked.

“I am 46, by that you mean Fuck James pull you shit together, you’re too old for this.” I laughed loud and he did too. My goal was achieved.

“No! I mean, you should be more confident, that’s all.” I tickled his belly. He kissed me again.

“We better have lunch and then we have something that is really important to do.” He said. His eyes glowed.

“We’re recording in Sausalito.” I dropped the news not holding them inside. He opened a huge smile.

“Really?”

“Yes babe. I don’t have to go to Europe anymore.”

“Thank God!! That way I can go there and keep an eye on that fucker!” He said making me laugh again and I tapped his arm as he began to drive.

James stopped at my favorite burger house. Now it was always like that, we would always have what I wanted to eat, everything was always about me. I was being spoiled and I didn’t care. I feasted on a hamburger with onions, bacon and cheese and James chose a simple one. Our meal was spent talking about what we would expect to see on the ultra sound and what we expected the doctor to say. We just wanted everything to be fine, hear the heart beat and dream how he or she would look like after the doctor say everything was fine. We were just like any other parents.

As we got to the second floor of the hospital we were asked to wait in a small room painted in light green. I was a nervous wreck and James realized that.

“Calm yourself down a bit.” He spoke in my ear. I just smiled at him and then almost jumped in my chair when a woman called my name. James held my hand and we followed her down the corridor until she opened a door for us and a young female doctor was inside. She stood up and smiled at us, shaking both our hands and then showing us the two chairs in front of her desk.

“Can I call you Adriana?” She began.

“Sure.” I said.

“So, how many weeks?” She asked looking at my belly.

“Well, when I made the test here the doctor said that I should be around 4 weeks so maybe it’s 7 or 8, we’re not too sure.” I explained.

“Ok, We can see that through the ultrasound. Was it planned?” James and I exchanged glances.

“No, it was not” I said.

“But they made you some tests when they found out you were pregnant right?”

“Yes, they did.”

“Good. Now follow me to this other room please.” She said opening the curtains and I sat. “Take your clothes off and put this on, I’ll be right back.” She ordered closing the curtains. James remained on his chair. I laid and waited for her to come back and she did it in a couple of minutes. “Daddy can come here too.” She spoke to James smiling. “Don’t you wanna see your baby.” She joked. First it was the sonogram and when I began to hear that accelerate heart beat my eyes filled with tears.

“Oh my god…” I said taking James hand in mine, James was smiling like a fool it even seemed like it was his first time. I saw the doctor raising an eyebrow though and then I saw James doing the same. I looked at James questioning him in silence. What was he hearing?

“Do I hear two heart beats?” He asked the doctor.

“Maybe.” The doctor smiled.

“What?” I asked. I was clueless. How could he hear two heart beats? The doctor poured some gel on my belly and began the ultrasound. I looked at the monitor but I didn’t understand what I was seeing, the doctor smiled and so did James.

“I see two babies.” He said. Then I also could figure out two dots.

“Does any of you have twins in the family?” The doctor asked.

“No, I don’t. Not on my side.” James said. I was still expecting that he was wrong and that was not two babies.

“Well, I do. My grandmother had a twin sister.” I said. The doctor smiled.

“And it usually skips one generation to happen again on the next one and this is your case. He’s right, there’s two babies in there.” She said pointing. I looked at James.

“Don’t look at me that way. It’s not my fault.” He joked.

“Congratulations, you’re having twins.” The doctor continued her exam. “They each have their own bag so it means it was two ovules. But they are fine. Heart beating strong and so far so good, and you should be around 9 weeks.” She said beginning to clean my belly. I was in shock. I got dressed in silence, I made another appointment and I drove back home always in silence. Already at home James pulled me to his lap.

“Is gone the shock?” He kissed me.

“How can you be that calm and smiley?” I asked him.

“The idea is lovely and they are fine, what more could I ask?” He was right.

“I am just too scared at the moment, that’s all. I am extremely happy our babies are fine.”

“It’s not going to be an easy task to have two babies in the house but we’ll manage it just fine.” James was just wonderful at showing me some support.

“Twins!! I wasn’t expecting this.” I laughed.

“And it’s your fault…” He teased with his boyish grin. “I am glad that for once I don’t have nothing to do with this!”

“Oh really? I didn’t make them alone you know?” I teased back.

“Yeah but I wasn’t the one extra fertile.” I bit his neck playing with him.

“You can be so obnoxious sometimes.” He laid me on the couch.

“And you love it.” I laughed before I pulled him down for a kiss.

“Do some obnoxious stuff with me.” I whispered.

Wow, I've missed so much!

All I can really say is that I'm really happy that Ade and James have made up and are getting along so well. The twins was a huge surprise! I just hope that working with Katatonia doesn't cause any problems for Ade and James, especially because James was a little (and maybe rightfully so) jealous about the attention she was getting from the drummer.

I'm excited to see how it all plays out.

As the time went by I began to record with Katatonia at Sausalito’s studios. My belly grew huge and none of my clothes would fit me anymore. I felt extra tired but I was determined not to stop working and, at least, until Katatonia’s album was done I couldn’t stop, I had to comply with my contract and that was stay with them until de record was finished.

I was doing an incredible effort to cope with the work, with all the hours I had to spend sat in front of a mixing table and with the fact that most nights I slept little hours and get home really late. Since I was doing this job James and I decided to get married just after the babies were born. We didn’t settle a date but decided that should be after but he was far from being happy with that, I just felt that. It wasn’t so much the marriage itself it was the fact that I was barely home, barely resting and barely spending time with him. Most of the times we only had time to see each other a bit in the morning while I had my breakfast and then when I’d get home he’d sleeping already. Crazy schedule and James was not the most patient person I knew.

Just like every other mother since my pregnancy got in a more advanced state and since my work with the band was getting harder that it wasn’t easy for me to get out of bed or keep my eyes opened. I felt exhausted. It wasn’t even the fact that my almost 5 months belly was huge and I was carrying two babies it was the fact that I slept 5, 6 hours a night and worked non stop the whole day and part of the night. Just like every other morning I punched the alarm clock in my nightstand and cursed a bit rolling on the bed. I whimpered a bit still with my eyes closed and then I just forced them to open. I ran my hand through James’s hair before I got out of there. I envied him a little because he could in fact stay in bed. Dragging my legs along the room I walked up to our bathroom and ran the water to have my morning shower.

When I got back to the room to get dressed I watched James for while. I missed him. I missed talking to him, cuddle with him on the couch, have dinner together like a normal couple, snuggle in bed and make love to him, obviously. We’ve had little time for those lately. I watched him sleep and regretted I wasn’t giving him any attention. I took a deep breath and ran to the kitchen to have my morning meal. I was pouring a cup of tea when his voice made me jump.

“I don’t know what is worth if you had gone to Sweden and I could understand why you’re never here or you being working just a couple of miles away and I always have to go to bed alone.” He said. I looked at him and he still had his swollen sleepy eyes, his hair messed up, bare chest with his hands shoved in the pockets of the trainers he had put on.

“I am sorry.” I told him with pleading eyes. I put my cup of teat on the counter and walked up to him. “I am sorry again.” I told him.

“Is it that hard for you to come home sooner? I mean, I do understand you’re working Ade and I am not here all the time either. I had been on tour but when I am home, I am home but you’re here and you’re not here. I never see you. I never have the chance to talk to you properly now, and…you’re pregnant. You’re not supposed to work all these hours. Last time you had been to the doctor she told you to slow down. You are drained, you don’t even have to tell me that just looking into your eyes and I can see it.”

“It’s almost done.” I told him. He stretched up his hand and grabbed a strand of my hair and played with it.

“I am worried about you. You’re making this super human effort to cope with it. It’s been harder and harder to get out of the bed.”

“I am tired.” I kissed him. “But I am alright. Honestly, I would never put me and our babies in danger. I would stop if I felt anything was wrong.” I reassured him. He cupped my face between his hands.

“I miss you.” He whispered. I kissed him one more time.

“I love you.” I told him.

“Have lunch with me today.” He asked. I looked at him not sure if I should. “Come on Ade…lunch.”

“We’re going to see each other on the afternoon.” I told him.

“For the appointment at the doctor but I want to be with you without those formalities.” He complained.

“Look. I have a better idea. We’ll meet at the doctor and then I won’t come back. Today I’ll work just half of the day. What do you think?” James smiled.

“Promise?” He asked.

“I swear babe. I miss being with you too.”

“I can take you there if you don’t feel like driving and then I can pick you up.”

“Are you leaving?”

“Yes. Me and the guys are meeting at HQ to discuss some details.” He said. I knew they had been meeting discussing the recording of their new album. Metallica wanted to go back to the studio but they still wanted t discuss a few things.

“Ok, that way we can have more time together.” James kissed my lips tenderly.

“I’m going to have a shower and get dressed then.”

“I’ll make you breakfast meanwhile.” I said. James nodded and headed upstairs running. I took a deep breath relived we didn’t end up fighting. We’ve had a couple during the last month concerning the same subject we talked this morning. I didn’t want to fight with him.

James drove me to the studios he knew all too well, after all he had recorded there before. He parked the car in front of the door and kissed me goodbye under the gaze of Jonas and Danny who were arriving too.

“Hi guys.” I said walking up to them.

“He can come in if he wants.” Jonas said realizing James was not getting out of his car.

“He’s going to a meeting.” I told them. I looked back and waved at James who then made his way to HQ. “Look guys, like you know I have an appointment with the doctor today and I want to ask you if that’s ok if I don’t come back. I feel really tired.” I told them. Jonas put his arm around my shoulder and we began to walk inside.

“It’s alright. You have been doing one hell of a job.” He said. I smiled relieved. I just wanted everything to turn out alright. I didn’t want to damage my relationship but I also didn’t want to damage my work. Tough things to balance. I worked for a couple of hours and then we had lunch all together, fast food that is, and so it reminded me how awful I was feeding my kids. I felt guilty doing so, I had to be more careful, now it wasn’t just about me anymore, it was about them and about James and I was leaving them three behind unconsciously. I hated myself for a moment. James arrived in the studio at 15.30 pm sharply. He texted me warning he was outside waiting for me and it was time to redeem myself. I excused myself to the boys and left for the rest of the day.

“You could come up you know.” I said sitting on the car and bending over him to greet him.

“You know I don’t like to go there.” He said. That was a fact, he had been there once, when the recording began, when Danny was still somehow too interested in my personality and my human part, James lost it a bit and we had a couple of fights then I just asked him to trust me but he never came back in there. We drove to the hospital for another visit to the doctor, I had a visit there at least once a month.

“You can go in.” Alice told us when we arrived. Dr. Smith was inside waiting for us.

“How are you?” She said shaking my hand and then James.

“I am feeling fine.” I told her.

“She has been working too much.” James accused me, I narrowed my eyes at him a little bit.

“Adriana, you can’t. You have to be careful. It’s twins!” The doctor began. “Anyway, let’s take a look at your babies.” She smiled guiding us to the ultrasound. At this point we could already see their heads, their hands, their feet, legs, arms, they were complete babies. James entwined his fingers in mine and I smiled watching my children on the screen. I just wanted to see them, to hold them in my arms. To caress them, kiss them, whatever… “Do you guys want to know the gender?”
I looked at James and James nodded. “Ok.” I said. The doctor began to check carefully, first the baby on the left side.

“Well…” She began “This one’s a baby boy.” She said. By the corner of my eye I saw James grinning. I knew he, secretly, wanted a baby boy. He had two daughters and Castor was his only boy and I knew he wanted another. He had always referred to the baby as a he so that gave him away. “And this one…” She said beginning to check the baby on the right side. “Oh so cute.” The doctor laughed. “It’s a girl.” She dropped the news. I giggled. That was just too perfect.

“At least we made everything with one shot.” James laughed caressing my face not caring the doctor was watching.

“We have to chose the names.” I told him. The appointment reached its end and I just needed to come back the month after if I didn’t feel anything wrong that was.

“Ade, do you mind stopping by HQ a little before we go home?” James asked carefully as he had asked me to spend time with him and now he was the one asking me to go to HQ.

“Not at all.” I kissed him. While driving James grabbed my hand and rested it on his leg resting his own on top of it.

“I thought about Corey.” He said. I smiled at the fact that he had the name chosen already, that proved my theory. I liked the name.

“I like it.” I told him. “Corey…” I said it out loud and it sounded good. “And the girl?” I asked him. “Any idea babe?”

“So he can be called Corey?” He smiled. I nodded. “The girl…” He said thinking.

“I haven’t thought about the names.” I confessed.

“We can leave that one for later.” He said.

He parked his truck next to Lars’s car and we met the other at the kitchen. I sat while they talked about their new album. They were talking about who should mix their sound.

“I thought Ade could do it.” Lars dropped the bomb. I raised my eyes off the magazine I was reading, Kirk and Rob looked at me with a smile and James had his gaze on the table and looked serious, I knew that wasn’t a good reaction. I stood silent waiting for what he was going to tell. “James…” Lars called him.

“I don’t think that’s a good idea.” He said not taking his eyes off the table. I looked at him broken.

“Why man? She mad a great job with our sound live.” Lars argued.

“But she’s pregnant and she needs to rest even now the doctor told her she should rest and she’s working at the moment.”

“My recording with Katatonia is almost done.” I said.

“No.” He said determined.

“James!” I exclaimed.

“No Ade! No!” He shouted getting up at the same time. I looked at him with a questioning and pissed look at the same time. Mixing the sound of their new album was basically a dream come true. “Don’t look at me like that. What? You’ve been stuck in a studio for the last 4 months and now you want to be stuck in another one? Where do we go from here? When there will be time for us?” He raised his voice a bit.

“But it’s different. I’ll be there with you!”

“I don’t think we should be discussing this here.” He said. I got up from my chair and walked out of the kitchen totally pissed off at him. I heard James talking to Lars “You better think of someone else, she won’t be doing it.” Then he came to me and I followed him out. I didn’t talk to him until we got home, when he closed the door I burst.

“What the hell?” I shouted. “We would be together in there!”

“What is the part that you need to rest that you don’t get it?” He shouted back.

“I feel fine! I feel tired but I am fine and the babies are fine!”

“Ade you asked to postpone the wedding until after the babies were born because you needed time to organize things and prepare everything and I know that is true but then you don’t seem to mind to work. So tell me, you’re too tired to organize OUR wedding but not too tired to work? I don’t get it…” He said sitting on the couch. So that was it…he was choking on the fact that I had asked him to wait.

“It’s different!”

“How?” He insisted.

“Because I want to be 100% when the day comes you stupid! I want to look pretty for you, I don’t want to be this fat! Plus it’s uncomfortable when we have sex now, we have to be careful with everything and I want in my honeymoon not to think about that! God…I thought you’d understand.”

“You don’t look fat, you look gorgeous.” He whispered. I sat by his side and ran a hand through his hair.

“I just want our wedding to be perfect.” I told him. He pulled to him into a hug.

“I am an idiot.” He said.

“Yeah…” I agreed and he chuckled then he strayed to look into my eyes.

“Still I don’t think it’s a good idea to be stuck in a studio Ade.”

“Hey, we’re together in there and it’s not like I make efforts, I am sat…” He began to shake his head.

“But we fight when we work together and being together there is not the same thing than being at home together, there we’re still in a professional environment. When the babies are born how are you going to be able to go there and finish your work?” I understood his point. It would be hard and their album would definitely take longer than the one I was recoding now.

“I think we can find a way.” I insisted. He took a deep breath and I knew I was getting where I wanted. “Please babe…” I kissed him.

“Shit…” He said smiling. “If I see you too tired you’ll come back home.” He said. I held him close and smiled. “How about Conner?” He asked.

“For the girl?” he shook his head.

“For the boy. I think I like it best and she could be Cayla.” I smiled.

“I like Cayla a lot.”

“Conner or Corey?” He asked.

“I don’t know…”

Gah, I know that James loves Ade and wants her and the babies to be happy and healthy (and yes, Ade should slow down a bit) but he's so bossy too :lol:

I still love him though. I think he has fully won my heart back after the cheating with all the cutesy and sweet things he has done for Ade in the last few chapters. :heart:

I felt my eyes betraying me. I was with my head leaning against the sound table with my arms around it as I flickered and fought my fatigue. I saw the clock, it read 1 am. Being 8 months pregnant wasn’t making my life easy. I had been forbidden to have sex by my doctor, I was supposed not to work long hours but then I did it anyway and my belly was extremely heavy. I tried not to fell asleep while they discussed a note of a song. I didn’t care if the pitch should be higher or not, my fight was another one. My fight was trying to keep my eyes open and not fall asleep during work.

I felt a familiar touch on my head and I opened my eyes. Guess I momentarily lost my fight.

“Ade…” James called me. “Babe…” He bent over me kissing my cheek.

“I’m sorry.” I said raising my head off the table.

“It’s ok. Let’s go home love.” He said with a sweet tone. Then he spoke to the proof sound room where Lars was. “We’re going home man.” He said to the inside through the micro. Lars came up to us.

“Already?” He asked.

“It’s 1 am. She was sleeping. We can’t do this.” Lars looked at me like asking me if I could stay longer and I just offered him my exhausted smile and shook my head lightly.

“I am sorry.” I told him.

“I can’t do this man.” James told him. “She’s my girlfriend man and these are my kids.” Lars nodded at him and patted his arm.

“You’re right. We have time to do this album.” I kissed his cheek when I got up from my chair.

“Thanks for understanding.” I told him.

“I also have a girlfriend that I love and I have kids. I know it hurts and I am your friend above all things. You’re doing a great job but you need to rest for sure.” I smiled at his words and then I turned to James.

“I just need to go to the bathroom before we get home.” The babies put too much pressure on my bladder and I had to go before I locked myself in our car.

“Sure.” He kissed my forehead and I left them alone in the room. My kidneys were killing me and I had a light pain on my womb. I rubbed it on my way to the bathroom thinking it had been the position in which I was sleeping on the chair. It wasn’t until I peed that I knew something was wrong. I noticed I had stopped peeing but water was still coming out. Just a few drops at first and then some more, that together with the pain. I grabbed some towel that I put between my legs and then pulled my jeans up the best I could. I washed my hands and went to meet James again.

“Ready?” He asked as he saw me. I winced a bit. “What is it?” He asked coming up to me.

“You need to take me to the hospital.” I told him. James looked me in the eye and I nodded as I understood what his eyes were asking and he smiled.

“Guess this album is going to wait a while.” He said laughing to Lars who laughed too.

“We knew that would happen.” Lars said. “Ade, good luck.” He told me. I smiled at him and James walked me up to the car.

“Are you ok?” He asked me while he started the engine.

“The pain is getting heavier.” I said wincing a bit.

“Just stay calm love. It will be alright.” James was trying to sound calm not to make me more nervous but as he grabbed the wheel I saw his hands tremble. It doesn’t matter how many times you have lived this moment, when it’s here you don’t manage to remain serene. Plus we were living it together for the first time. At that hour of the night there was no traffic so we got to the hospital fast.

“Want to grab you a wheel chair?” He asked.

“No, I think I can walk.” James nodded and got out the car helping me stand. I leaned on him while he helped me in.

“Is Dr. Smith here?” He asked when we got to the reception.

“I believe she is sir. Let me check.” The nurse began to check the night shifts and found her. “Yes, she’s here. I am going to try and catch her.” The nurse left us waiting. I winced again.

“Awwww…” I whimpered. James put a hand in my face pulling me closer and kissed the top of my head.

“I know it hurts babe. Stay calm.” After a couple of minutes waiting and me whimpering more and more I saw my doctor coming.

“Oh! Adriana!” She exclaimed seeing me.

“Her waters broke almost an hour ago.” James informed her.

“They’re coming.” She told me smiling but the pain was beginning to be unbearable and I didn’t say a word. “You can follow us.” She told James and he grabbed my hand. I wanted him to be with me the whole time. I knew I wasn’t going to give birth naturally because one of the babies was sit so I knew I’d have to do surgery but I didn’t know how long I’d have to wait until that happen. Dr. Smith put me in a private room and a nurse began to prepare me.

“I won’t be giving you epidural as the doctor said you were going to surgery right away, try to be strong.” The nurse smiled at me and I just laid on bed naked just in a green hospital gown waiting to be taken to an OR. I laid back and tried to forget I was in such incredible pain. James sat by my side and grabbed my hand and began to caress my face.

“Does it hurt?” He asked. I just nodded I was on the verge of screaming in agony but I was trying to hold it inside until I could no more.

“ARRRRGGGGG…” I shouted as I felt something like pulling my insides out and tears began to fall.

“Breathe Ade…” James told me. I looked in his eyes and he also had tears. In between a contraction and another I took my hand to his eyes and cleaned his tears He grabbed my hand and kissed my palm.

“I love you sweetie.” He told me with his lips trembling. I guess emotions were just floating and we couldn’t held them inside anymore. I sure couldn’t hold my pain or take it. Every time my womb squeezed me I screamed at the top of my lungs until they finally came into the room and took me down. James prepared himself to follow me, he was also in a green gown and when we reached the OR he was given gloves, a mask and a bandana. I felt nervous, my heart was beating too fast and my legs were shaking. I couldn’t hear straight anymore as my pain was just consuming me.

“Adriana can you count to ten backwards for us?” The nurse asked as she administrated something on my vein. I remembered saying ten and then nine, eight was already a blur and then I just passed out.

*********

I blinked a couple of times before I could open my eyes. I couldn’t see well, everything was a blur. I focused a point and tried to focus, little by little my vision became clear. I was staring at a ceiling but I wasn’t sure where I was. I saw some bottles and tubes that led to my arm and then I realized I was in the hospital All became clear in a minute. I turned my head to see James passed out on the couch and near him two glassed cribs but I couldn’t see my babies as they were covered. I wanted to see them, my babies were just in front of my eyes and I still couldn’t see them I thought of calling James but then I saw him so heavy sleeping that I refrained.

He was sat, straddled legs, back against the couch. His mouth slightly opened, he was cute, he was gorgeous even sleeping. I closed my eyes again as I still felt tired but then a cry made me open my eyes again. I tried to move but I felt pain and then I saw James moving. He rubbed his eyes and moved slowly towards one of the cribs.

“Cullen, come on boy.” He talked to the baby. So it was my baby boy crying. After Corey and Conner we finally decided for Cullen. He picked the baby up in his arms and there I saw my son for the first time. So tiny and defenseless. “You’re not hungry, your diaper is changed…what do you want uh?” James talked to him rocking him in his arms. Cullen went silent and James smiled. “Yeah…I thought so. You just want some cuddles.” He said kissing our son.

“James…” I called him with tears rolling down my eyes. He looked up at me and smiled walking up to me at the same time. He put Cullen against my chest and I held him in my arms almost sobbing. James kissed my forehead.

“He gave me one hell of a night.” He complained.

“I slept the whole night?”

“Yep. You did, I guess you were too tired and it was the effect of the anesthesia too. He looks a bit like you.” James said looking at Cullen.

“You think?”

“Yeah…Cayla looks like me.” I looked at the other crib.

“You fed them?” I asked.

“Of course…Are you in pain?” He caressed my hair but I shook my head.

“I just can’t move. I tried to get up when he cried but I just couldn’t”

“No babe, you can’t. I am here ok. The doctor said she’ll come here during this afternoon. Everything went well. They are fine and you’re good too.” Suddenly Cayla tested her lungs. She cried loud. James went to her and brought her near my bed. I peeked at her in his arms. Yes, she was just like him even though they were so little and they would change. “And this is your daughter.” He said turning her up to me.

“They are so beautiful.” I said.

“Yeah…” James said proudly looking at both babies, then both of them cried at the top of the lungs. We laughed.

“This is the real thing now.” James chuckled. I held Cullen really close to my body so he could feel me. I read during my pregnancy that newborn babies missed the contact with their mother since they didn’t feel so protected and so I held him close to my chest warming him up with my own body after a while his crying subsided and he was quiet again and James managed to calm down the little girl as well.

“This is gonna be a lot of hard work.” I told him. I was so happy there were not enough words to describe it. James sat back on the couch holding Cayla in his arms.

“Prepare yourself love. They are gonna give us hell. Oh yes they are.” I smiled looking at him.

“I love you.” I said from far.

“I love you too.” James looked down at the baby in his arms and then looked back at me. “Look at us. We’re a family now.”

“Not in a million years I thought of this. Never.”

The door of the bedroom opened and Lars and Connie came in. Connie carrying a bunch of flowers.

“Look at them, each one with the arms occupied.” Lars laughed. “I don’t envy you guys. Ready to some sleepless nights Het?” He teased.

“I already had my first sleepless night.” He complained with a smile.

“No one sleeps until they sleep, remember?” Lars laughed and Connie too.

“They are so cute.” Connie said. Lars took Cullen off my hands and looked at him.

“Damn. Hard work, sleepless nights but they are just awesome and it’s worth it. Hey there little guy. It’s uncle Lars.” He baby talked.

“None of us is going to the studio so soon.” James commented.

“I know that! You guys go when you’re ready.” Lars was now just too mesmerized with Cullen to care about the rest of us.

“Don’t run away with my son.” James laughed and joked.

“I might.” Lars said smiling like a fool at the baby on his arms.

I opened my eyes wide as Cayla burst into a desperate cry. I was just about to fall asleep when her desperate calling brought me back to reality. The clock read 3 am and I haven’t slept an hour in a row. It had been like that since the babies were born three weeks ago. I pulled the covers away and got up towards the crib James and I put in our room. They slept in the same crib.

“Hey…” I whispered trying not to take her in my arms but her crying wasn’t subsiding and James was beginning to stir a lot. I picked her up just to be sure he kept on sleeping but then it was Cullen’s turn. I grabbed Cayla in one arm and with my free hand I tried to rock Cullen back to sleep.

“Oh Christ…” James said out loud. “Can’t they give us just a moment of peace?” James had been back to the studio with the band and I was the one staying at home. We were both exhausted and a bit cranky.

“I’m gonna take them downstairs. You try to sleep ok?” I told him and James didn’t answer he just turned around on the bed and covered his head with the blanket. I grabbed Cullen the best I could and took them both to the living room. I laid them both on the couch and I crouched in front of them and began to massage their bellies. Having two babies was far from being an easy task, everything was doubled. I was drained and exhausted, James was drained and exhausted and I just wanted to help my kids and I didn’t know what to do. I wanted to have time for James and I didn’t have any, I also wanted to be there for him but in the middle of all this he was the one that needed me the least. He was independent, the babies needed me all the time. I began to cry, I sobbed of despair while trying to ease the pain in the babies belly, I sobbed…just because I wanted to cry and nothing else. I felt James hand on my shoulder.

“I am sorry I yelled.” He said.

“You more than anyone, much better than I, knew what was like to have a baby around the house.” I told him. I was hurt. He rested his chin on my shoulder and apologized again. I knew somehow that wasn’t him talking and I didn’t want to fight.
“They are driving me crazy.” He whispered. “I am so sorry babe.”

“And don’t you think they are driving me crazy too? I’d give anything just to be able to sleep a couple of hours straight but they need me and I love them to death and I would do anything for them.”

“I love them too.” He said. “Give me one.” He said stretching his arms. “Let me help you.” I shook my head.

“Go back to sleep. You have to go to the studio in the morning.” I said.

“I wanna help Ade. Come on…let’s not make this a problem for us. It was a rant, it won’t happen again. God…I am an asshole. I should have kept my mouth shut. I love you and I love them ok? I just miss you…now it’s all about them and you never have time for me and we’re always tired.” I sat on the floor next to him and put Cayla on his arms and I grabbed Cullen. James rested Cayla on his legs and she opened her blue eyes for him. I saw him lose his rudeness in instants and he smiled at her with enormous tenderness.

“Are you looking at daddy?” He asked her. “Is the pain gone now? Uh?” She made a face and he laughed loud. James pulled her up with his hands and put her in front of his face. “Can’t you and your brother let mommy and daddy sleep?” Cayla frowned and let out another scream.

“She can’t…” I said giggling a bit. “Cullen is sleeping.” I said showing him the boy sleeping peacefully in my arms.

“She’s here to stay.” He said looking at Cayla who was with her eyes wide open and with her little hand clutched onto James finger. James bent over me and kissed my cheek. “Are we fine babe?” He asked me, I smiled and nodded, kissing his lips right after. “How’s the wedding plans?” He asked.

“I settled everything with the agency that is organizing it. They were here this afternoon and they left some photos of cakes but I forgot to tell you.”

“We’ll take a look at that tomorrow.” I put Cullen on the stroller and sat back against the couch. The girl was beginning to close her eyes as James rocked her.

“She’s closing her eyes.” I hushed and James just nodded, when she finally closed them shut he put her on the double stroller right next to her brother and sat back next to me. Both of us sat on the floor with our back against the couch. I felt his fingers slightly touching my hand and then entwining with mine.

“4 am…” He said. I looked at him helpless, restless…James let go of my hand and put his arm around my neck pulling me to him and kissed the top of my head. “When do they have to eat again?”

“Half an hour.” I dropped the news.

“Oh!” He exclaimed. “Then we better not go far.”

“We could prepare the bottles.” I suggested and when I was about to get up James stopped me.

“No. Stay here. When they wake up we’ll go, now just stay here with me like this.” He said holding me in his arms. “We haven’t been spending much time cuddling and God…I miss you.” I put my arms around his waist and closed my eyes.

“You’re right.” I said agreeing. “I still love you.” I told him and James chuckled.

“I never thought you didn’t.”

“But I just want you to be sure. I am sorry I don’t have all that time to be with you now or if I don’t pay much attention to you babe but then they consume my whole time.”

“Ade, I know and I understand.”

Just like we had thought, half an hour later the babies woke up for their meal. It would be great if they gave us that three hours between meals a rest only they didn’t. They kept awaking, crying. James and I stood with them until 5.30 am until they finally fell into deep sleep and then it was our turn. We fell asleep the second our head hit the pillow. In between small crying and sleeping again James got up at 9 am cursing like a mad man to leave. I had to get up too to feed the babies. James stopped by the kitchen to kiss me and then left. I heard him stumbling on his way out.

“Shit…fuck. Fuck this shit. Fuck.” He cursed as he slammed the door shut. I looked down at my kids in the stroller and smiled.

“You guys are driving your father insane.” I spoke to them. Incredibly they were quiet. James had been cranky the whole time. “Bottle’s done.” I said shaking both bottles then I sat in front of them and put them in their tiny mouths. That was the only way I found to feed two babies at the same time. One bottle at each hand and them laid on the stroller, at least it was practical.

The babies were rather calm for great part of the morning, before lunch time I called the agency telling them which cake James and I chose. We would get marry in two weeks. Not a good idea if you ask me. We were both too tired, the babies were still too little but since we postponed it once, we didn’t want to it again. After lunch I tried to have a nap on the couch while the twins were sleeping but they seemed to know when one was falling asleep. I was trying to calm them down when James got home, much to my surprise.

“Can you please try to keep them down.” He said standing at the living room door’s. I looked at him surprised and mad at the same time.

“I would keep them shut if I could.” I snapped.

“I need to sleep. Please just shut them up.” He said turning around and going upstairs. I thought that was really weird. James being home so soon and in terrible humor. When I got the chance I went upstairs and opened the door of our room. He was sleeping fast. I decided to call Lars.

“Is everything alright between you and James? Did he fight at the studio or something?”

“He was cranky and then he left before lunch and then called saying he was not coming back.” Lars said.

“Wait…he did not have lunch there?” I asked.

“No! I even thought he went to have it with you.”

“He didn’t…” I said thinking. His behavior was weird indeed. The twins began to whimper and I said goodbye to Lars and when I got near them they just began to scream at the top of their lungs.

“I know you’re hungry. Mommy will be right back.” I talked to them. When I was walking from the living room to the kitchen James appeared at the top of the stairs.

“Ade!!” He yelled. “Please shut the kids up for Christ sake.” He was rude and I just got mad.

“If I could shut them up that easily I would moron. Try it yourself!” I shot.

“I just want to be quiet.” He yelled again. I turned my back on him and continued to the kitchen. I was preparing their bottles when he burst into the kitchen and grabbed my hand to turn me to him making me spill the milk over me as he jerked me.

“What are you doing?” I shouted.

“Don’t you fucking turn your back on me when we’re talking.” He said. I turned around to finish the bottles and he grabbed me again. The babies were crying loud in the living room.

“What the fuck?” I told him. “Your children are yelling in the fucking living room hungry, do you mind?” I was getting really nervous. I walked away from him and went to the living room. James followed me.

“Hey, mommy is here. “I said preparing everything to feed them. “Come on babies, shuuu…”

“JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!! HELL!!” James yelled so loud that I jumped and the babies cried even louder. I looked at him incredulous and walked up to him.

“Get out of here.” I expelled him. “OUT!” I yelled. James didn’t say a word and just walked away. I was shocked with his behavior. I fed the babies crying with the shock. He was rude, arrogant and even violent. I was not used to that. The twins subsided into deep sleep after the bottle and I decided to do the same. I laid on the couch and fell asleep too, waking up again two hours later. I heard the sound of the shower running from upstairs. It was dark already and somehow I expected James to have slept a bit and be in a better mood. As twins were still sleeping I decided to cook our dinner while I had some free time.

“I won’t be home for dinner.” James said at the kitchen’s door. He looked neat, well dressed and freshly showered.

“Where are you going?” I asked him.

“I’m gonna have dinner with some friends and then we’re going to a bar.”

“To a bar?” I raised an eyebrow.

“Don’t give me that look. I can go to a bar!! I can take care of myself.” He defended himself.

“But you don’t go to bars.” I argued.

“Can I go in peace?” He was on the verge of yelling again.

“Keep your voice down.” I muttered. “The babies are sleeping.” I snapped. James turned his back at me walking to the door.

“You don’t tell them to keep it down when it’s their turn to yell.” He said.

“You’re being stupid.” I said running after him.

“Right.” He said without looking back.

“You’re exhausted to be at home but not exhausted to go to a bar?” I told him.

“At least there I listen to some music and it‘s not this hell.”

“James!” I exclaimed but next thing he slammed the door shut with all his strength and then next thing Cullen cried. Tears fell down my face when I heard his truck roaring and leaving.
