Chapter 3

• Sophia's POV
• It was 31st December evening, and both Arya and Eden were busy decorating our tiny little apartment. Not that Rebecca couldn’t afford a bigger one, but I didn’t want a big place to stay because the loneliness and memories of painful past crawled to anyone quickly in a big apartment compared to a smaller one, where you just couldn’t hide in some damn room all the time. Instead, you have to sit in the hall or balcony where someone keeps you busy with household work or others' gossip.
• I was listening to their cute argument and was knitting sweaters for my babies because Doctor Martha had given the date of delivery as 8th January.
• Since they were going to arrive in winter, they needed warm clothes. Not that I couldn’t buy it, it was just I love knitting in my free time. I had already prepared a few pairs of small gloves, socks, trousers, sweaters, and not to forget cute little pokemon caps for my babies.
• “Hey babies, do you like these barbie design jumpsuits?” I asked my baby girls, and one of them kicked on my stomach.
• “Ahhh!!” I whimpered a little.
• “You okay? Are you all right?”, Both Eden and Arya asked me in concern.
• “Nothing. One of them just kicked.”, I replied, keeping my wool and half-knitted sweater aside. I was not sure, but I felt like I had just peed in my panties. It was normal in pregnancy.
• “What if this is not just a kick,” Arya said in tension. “Let’s go to the hospital.”
• “I’m fine, Arya.”
• “Then let’s get this confirmed from the doctor as well.”, Eden added.
• “Eden, I…Ahhhhh!!” I cried in pain again even though my babies didn’t kick me.
• “I guess babies are planning to come early than expected.”, Arya commented.
• “Take a deep breath, Sophia. I’m booking the cab right away.”, Eden said in a worried tone. At the same time, I was worried about other things.
• Most people enjoy their vacation from Christmas to New Year, and instead of arriving on 8th January, my babies were coming today. It meant the Doctor I was consulting would also be on leave. I prayed to God to be this as a false alarm.
• “Arya, call Doctor… Anna. Ask her… to reach hospital…quickly.”, I said, taking a deep breath, but it was not at all helpful, and to make me realize that they both were indeed coming, my water bag broke.
• ****
• After an hour, we reached the hospital. Thankfully, my Doctor was already there, with who I had been consulting for months.
• “Sophia, both babies are entangled with the umbilical cord. So, we will have to opt for C-Section instead of normal delivery at the last moment.”, Doctor Anna said after bringing me into the delivery room of normal delivery and after doing an ultrasound at the last moment to see the condition of the baby.
• Hearing her tears dwelled in my eyes with the fear of losing my babies.
• “Don’t worry. They will be fine. You have to make the decision quickly OR should I call the queen if you’re not able to take the decision on your own?”, She asked.
• There was no need to disturb Rebecca when she was also pregnant. Moreover, when I knew my babies were entangled with an umbilical cord, then I had to choose the only option that I had.
• “That’s… not required.”, I said, trying to control the pain. “Go.. ahead with C-section delivery.”
• “Okay!!” Doctor Anna nodded her head. “Give her the dose of anesthesia and prepare for the operation.”, She said to the nurses beside me.
• ‘Hey, my little angels! Your Mumma here! I just want to say that I’m waiting for you.’ I talked with my babies even though I knew they could answer that, but they could feel, right?. Soon, I was injected with the dose of anesthesia, and I started losing consciousness with the hope of seeing my babies in front of me safe and sound the moment I would open my eyes.

• Third Person POV
• “What do you think? Both the babies will be arriving today or tomorrow?” Eden asked, looking at the clock. It was showing 11:47:03 PM.
• “I don’t know. I just hope them to born safe and sound because if anything happens to them, then Sophia would die for sure.”, Arya said in tension, and after waiting for a while, they heard the loud cries of the first baby. “Finally.” Arya released her breath which she was holding for God knows how long.
• “11:59:27 PM,” Eden noted down the time happily.
• Another cry of the second baby came after a while. “Thank you, Moon Goddess.”, Arya whispered with a big smile on her face.
• “12:06:51 AM.” Eden chirped and mentally started to plan to celebrate the birthday of both the kids for two days continuously. “Are Sophia and her babies fine?”, She asked the Nurse who walked out of the operation theater after ten minutes.
• “Yes! Both mother and her pups are healthy and fine.”, Nurse replied with a smile. All the Doctors and Nurse which were treating Sophia were werewolves so that Rebecca could keep knowledge of everything that was happening with her sister-in-law even though she was in another country, away from home. “The mother is in a deep slumber under the effect of the drugs. We will soon be transferring the private room.”
• “And pups?” Arya asked, getting impatient.
• “Here they are.”, Doctor Anna said, bringing one of them in her arms, and a nurse beside her was carrying the second baby.
• Arya and Eden wasted no time in holding them in their arms. “My princess is so beautiful.”, Eden said, admiring the baby in her arms whose eyes were closed.
• “Even my princess is so adorable.”
• “Actually….” Doctor Anna paused before speaking, “they are not a princess but PRINCE, to be exact.”
• “What?”
• “Yes!!” Doctor Anna nodded, on which both Arya and Eden looked at the faces of the babies and got one more surprise, realizing that the babies were the carbon copy of one another. “And they are identical twins. We have marked the nail of one of the pups so that we can explain to Sophia which baby is the elder one and which is the younger one.”
• Arya and Eden nodded; once they left, they looked at the face of the babies which they were holding.
• “By taking birth on the new year, I hope Sophia’s pups bring a lot of new hopes and new happiness in her life.”, Arya said, looking at the baby in her arms.
• “Don’t forget that one of them is born on 31st December. Does that mean these pups are going to mix the past with her present and future, hmm?” Eden asked, on which Arya’s head snapped in her mate’s direction. She opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn’t.
• Because no one knew what future that held for Sophia, her twin boys, and her Ex-husband?
