"Oh, you're still here... you're not going to work?"
I turned around when I heard Eugene's voice and the bedroom door closing. I give him a friendly smile."I need to go to the hospital; Gail is about to give birth, and I need to monitor her," I said, placing the food I had prepared for Gail.Gail is the woman who is carrying Eugene's child. I've been with her since Eugene and I decided to take care of the child. The two are still not talking and they haven't seen each other since their encounter at the Company.I'm not sure if Eugene is still angry at Gail, everytime I tried to make him come with me to visit Gail he always makes a alibi so he can't go with me. Maybe he still can't accept Gail's decision and he's not ready to face her yet. I just kept quiet and do what I can to help them, specialty Gail who's now in the Hospital.I'm not sure if Eugene is still angry at Gail, but every time I try to convince him to accompany me to visit Gail, he always comes up with an excuse why he can't. Perhaps he still finds it difficult to accept Gail's decision to abandon the child.I just kept quiet and did what I could to help and support them, especially Gail, who is now in the hospital."Do you have any meetings today?" I asked as I handed him a cup of coffee."Yeah, there are things needed to discuss in the upcoming projects," he replied before sipping his coffee."I'll try to get to the office after I see Gail," I respond, sighing as I notice his crumpled suit and rumpled tie.It's always been like this. He might go to work in a crumpled suit if I'm not here."Thank you," he said sincerely, and when I lifted my head, I saw his eyes, that are fixed on me.After a few seconds of staring at him, I feel a little awkward; my heart is also beating strangely because of how intense his stare is. So, when I noticed he'd finished his coffee, I shoved him in the face and took the cup from him."I'm tired of hearing your thank yous now, Eugene; you don't need to thank me every day," I laughed to lighten the mood.But it's true; he hasn't stopped thanking me since we moved here and I began caring for her ex-lover.I'm enjoying what I'm doing. Besides, I had a great time taking care of Gail, and it made me happy to see the baby grow in her tummy."I'll thank you every day, even if you get tired of hearing it," he says as he pulls me in for a hug that generates my heart rate up.After a while, I hugged him back; Eugene has a childish attitude like this, he enjoys hugging, he's clingy and demanding like a child... But I don't despise it; in fact, I find it charming—damn, Laura, stop thinking like that.I shake my head to clear my mind before looking at him. But the moment I lifted my eyes to look at him, I burst out laughing when I saw how his lips were cutely pouting. I jokingly hit his cheeks and pushed him away."You know you need to stop acting like a baby now, we're about to have a real baby, please have a shame to your child haha," I had to stop laughing when I noticed how serious his expression was."That's why I'm enjoying this moment; when our child arrives, I'll have a competitor for your attention," he said softly."Come on, go to work already. You don't have a secretary for today, and you still have a meeting. I'll come in later for lunch, and I'll bring you dinner." I shoved him out of the unit."OK, I'll leave now; please be careful on your way to the hospital, okay?""Yeah, bye," I said as I closed the door, despite the fact that he was still saying goodbye to me.I need to do that to put an end to his never-ending goodbyes.When my phone rang, I turned to look at it. There are two messages. Eugene is the first name I saw, so that's the one I open first.[Please be careful on your way to the hospital, call me from time to time, and don't get too tired.]I simply responded to his messages with a simple K and then opened the second message.[She's about to give birth.] that's the message from the hospital.After reading that, I quickly dressed and went into the living room to gather the Baby's belongings. Because of my panic, I was unable to text Eugene right away. I'm not sure what I'm going to feel; I'm excited but also concerned for the baby's and Gail's safety. I hope nothing bad happens to them.Almost everyone I see as I exit the building is staring at me; perhaps they're all wondering why I'm wearing a worried expression and carrying so many bags. I just ignore them all and walk as fast as I can.When I arrived at my car, which was waiting for me at the building's entrance, I immediately put my bags inside before rushing to the driver's seat."Thank you," I hurriedly said to the male staff who had prepared my car before hurrying inside."Be careful, Ma'am," was the last thing I heard before pulling over.When I arrived at the hospital, Doctora Pia greeted me and immediately escorted me to where Gail is. Before entering the room, I put on a hospital gown. When I heard and saw Gail screaming in pain, I instantly gasped.Is childbirth really that painful?My hand is trembling from nervousness. I look at the Doctor, who is checking on Gail's condition."Is she okay, Doc?" my voice trembles with fear.Gail's face is covered in sweat and tears, and her entire face is turning red from the pain."She's fine," the doctor simply stated.I don't know what to do, I don't know what I can do to help Gail feel less pain. My eyes are welling up with tears as I look at her and see her smile at me."Don't worry, I'm fine; the baby is so excited to meet us," she said, her brow wrinkled from pain."Shh, don't talk in case it causes you more pain. You're doing great, Gail, you're doing great," my tears well up in my eyes. "You can do it. I'm here... don't be afraid." I tighten my grip on her hand to support her."Hmm, t-thank you... " tears flowed up in her eyes as she yelled again.Gail and I are both fine. I began caring for her when she was six months pregnant. We are not officially friends, but I can say that we have a good relationship. We just don't get along when I ask her why she has to leave Eugene and her child. I always tell her that leaving Eugene and the baby will hurt them, but we end up fighting because she is so determined to leave them.I got tired of asking her, if that's what she really wants, it's fine, I'm here to look after the baby."Does Eugene know?" she asked. The nurse injected her with something."Ah, not yet. Wait a minute, I'll just message him," I said as I walked out the door and dialed Eugene's number.I forgot to inform him because all I could think about earlier was getting here in an instant.While I waited for him to answer my call, I overheard the doctor say that Gail is only a few minutes away from giving birth."Laura? Something wrong? Where are you?" he asked as soon as he picked up the phone."Come here to the hospital, Gail is about to give birth," I say, smiling as I hear him curse in panic and excitement."I'm on my way," he said loudly."Drive carefully," I remind him. I can hear his rapid breathing when he's starting to run.I hung up the phone when I heard her car's engine start up; he's really quick to get into his car.When I returned to the room, I noticed Gail was having trouble in breathing, but when she looked at me, she smiled brightly hiding it to me.When I told her Eugene was on his way, all she did was nod.I wipe her sweat away with a clean tissue while tightly gripping her hand. Even though I haven't given birth, I can feel her suffering. Just looking at her causes me to wince in pain.After a few minutes, the Doctor entered the room."Are you ready Gail?" the doctor asked as she positioned herself below Gail.Gail nodded hesitantly. I tightened my grip on her hand to encourage her. I could feel both of us shivering from nervousness and nervousness.But I know gail feels worse now. It's really not a joke to give birth."Okay Gail Inhale, Exhale, Inhale, push slowly first .. You already know this, you've already practiced it. Do what I taught you. Okay ..""It hurts," Gail cried out in pain.I couldn't help but whisper to her that she could do it, that she should be brave, that she was doing well...even though I, myself seemed to be fainting right now."Go, one more push... I can already see the baby's head; one last push in the count of three. One, two, three push!"Gail gave her all in that final push, and the next thing we know, the baby's cries fill the entire room."Ungahhh!""You did it, Gail!" I whisper, tears streaming down on my cheeks."I'm so proud of you, Gail... good job," my lips tremble in relief and joy. Eugene suddenly entered the room, his gaze instantly fixed on the small body in front of him."Congratulations! It's a healthy Baby Boy!" the doctor announced. I left Gail for a moment to approach Eugene, who hadn't taken his gaze away from the baby that the nurses were cleaning."Hey," I say, trying to get his attention."Hmm?" he replied, my brow furrowed as I heard his raspy voice, and I noticed his teary eyes when I looked at him.I wiped my own tears away. I, too, am relieved to finally meet a healthy and safe baby.I also look at the baby and observe how they clean him.Looking at the little angel in front
"All I want for him is for him to be happy, and I know that will definitely happen because you are with them; knowing that makes me happy to die peacefully because I know my boys are in good hands, and I know you will love them as if they were your own," she said in a low voice, and I can hear how she is suffering just to say those words to me.I took a deep breath and wiped away my tears before facing her again. I looked her in the eyes, which were clouded with tears. When I saw her cry, I couldn't stop myself from crying again. Just by looking at her, I could see and feel her pain, and I knew she didn't want to die and leave Eugene and their children behind. Every step I took towards the bed where she was lying felt so heavy. When I finally reached her, I instantly held her hand and gently squeezed it before giving her a slight smile."Gail, don't say that. No one can defeat your love for them, no one can match the sacrifices you made just to bring your children into this world; ev
We tried to locate Gail's relatives after Eugene said his goodbyes to her. But, according to what we found, Gail had not communicated with any of her relatives in a long time. We also had no idea where to look for them, so Eugene decided to hold a small and private funeral for Gail.I walked over to Gail's coffin and placed the white flower I was holding. I smiled when I saw her resting peacefully; she seems to be happy and satisfied right now... When a light breeze blows against my skin, I close my eyes and feel it... It's a very soothing wind, like a goodbye hug from her."Goodbye Gail, even though we've only been together for a short time, I won't forget you; don't worry okay? I'll look after them." I said for the last time. ----Things happened so quickly, and now we're in the Baby ward, where Eugene's two baby boys are. I rubbed his back as he began to cry, holding the glass and looking at the twins steadily. I looked up, wiped away my tears, and asked the nurse if we could see
When we arrive at the unit, it's almost twelve o'clock. We didn't want to be away from the kids for too long, so we waited until visiting hours were over before heading to the office. Eugene needed to sign some important documents so he wouldn't have to go to work the next day. Finally, the twins will be released tomorrow."You should get some rest, Eugene," I said as I tapped him on the back. "I'll just prepare everything we need to bring tomorrow and then go to bed," I said as I approached the twins' bedroom door.Because we were unaware that they were twins, the clothes I brought to the hospital were insufficient. Everything was only meant for one person. It's a good thing that the clothes I ordered last night arrived today so the twins can wear a matchy outfit tomorrow. "Let me do it, I know you're tired." he offered worriedly, I just shook my head trying to fight the drowsiness.I pushed his arms away when he began shaking my shoulders and gently pushing me into the room."But I
"Are you nervous?" I asked, pointing to his ear."Why should I be nervous?" he grumbled as he pulled into the hospital parking lot."You're blushing, which is why I'm asking if I ever make your heart flutter because I said I wouldn't leave you," I teased him further. When he properly parked the car, I laughed and unbuckled my seatbelt."Don't tease me too much because I might fall for you,"When I didn't hear what Eugene said, I quickly turned to him, but he hurried out of the car.I quickly got out and went to the back of the car, where he was. What did he say? I haven't heard much."Hey! What did you say earlier? I didn't hear you," I asked as I assisted him in lifting the baby basket into which the twins would be placed later."No, it's your fault you're beautiful but didn't clean your ears," he teased as he pinched my nose.He walked away, closing the compartment. I quickly followed him.When we arrived at the nurse station, a lady nurse approached Eugene right away."Hi Sir, may
I got up on the bed when I heard the baby crying; I didn't know who he was at first, so I just picked him up and tried to make him stop crying. Later, I realized it was Loki who was crying."Why is the baby crying?" I asked, swaying my body slowly.When Eugene returned to my room, he looked at us with worry. He started to walk closer to us to check on Loki, but Thor's loud cry startled him, and he dashed to the other crib."Hey... what happened, hm? Daddy is here," he said sweetly as he carefully lifted Thor."We'll need to clean their bodies later so they can sleep comfortably," I said, noticing the twins' loaded diapers.He approached me while holding Thor in his arms. We're now facing each other, holding the twins. I smiled when I noticed he couldn't take his eyes off Loki. He can't decide who is going to look first."I think they're starving," Eugene stated. While still holding Loki in my arms, I nodded and walked over to the milk formula and bottle on the other side of the bed.H
"I forgot to tell you that we don't have to go to work for a week," my brow furrowed."What do you mean? Is that all right?" I asked, and he shrugged."I'm the Boss, Laura. I can do whatever I want," he said trying to be arrogantly, I just laugh at his face. "OK, Sir," I said quietly as I stared at him, but Eugene just laughed and finished his coffee."And there's an agency that can help us with the babysitter," he said, which surprised me.When did he do that, exactly?"That's really quick, but please make sure they can be trusted.""That's why we've taken a week off work. The two helpers will arrive later at lunch, we'll monitor them for a week, and if they're good, we'll be more reassured." "He explained to me in a serious tone, assuring me that he will not 'just choose the person' and that children's lives would be put at risk."But I couldn't help but worry. I've read a lot about how bad things can happen when a child is left with someone else. My heart skipped a beat when I fel
"Oh my gosh!" she exclaimed in surprise after I dropped the folder on the office table. I looked up at her."If you don't have anything important to report right now, you can leave," I said sternly. I could see her confusion and nervousness on her face as she turned around. "And, next time," I said as she turned around, "don't spread any humor if you don't know what happened; if you don't respect other people, just think of your job; you didn't want to lose your job, did you?"I ignored our age difference. I knew she was older than me and that I should respect her... But why should I respect someone unworthy of it?"I'm sorry, Ma'am. Laura! I'm sorry, I can't do it again," she said.She is now facing my table and constantly bowing her head."Don't apologize to me; I'm not the victim of your gossip.""Ma'am..." she said nervously, and I just smiled at her while making a sarcastic face in front of her so she knows I'm pissed right now."I'm just telling you that you should apologize to
