Morning light poured in through the slats between the blinds, the sound of the heavy door opening then softly closing into the door frame slowly pulled you out of sleep while your eyes opened. Your head turning to see the visitor to your room, hearing the door open and close all throughout the night before, you smiled seeing this visitor in particular.

“Hi sweetheart” Your husband, Baekhyun cooed quietly while making his way across your hospital room to your bed.

“How are you feeling?” He inquired, pressing his hands into the mattress on either side of you, his lips pressing a soft kiss on your head.

“Much better, still tired though” You lifted your eyes to meet his, nodding with a smile he pulled up a chair next to you.

“I would be tired too” Baekhyun gently took your hand into his with a bright smile not leaving his lips.

“Have they told you how the little ones are doing?” You questioned softly hoping he heard something on their children.

“Not yet love, I am sure they are doing just fine though” Baekhyun tried to reassure you while his thumb slowly brushed across your knuckles.

“I’m just worried about them…” You trailed off, your eyes lowering to your free hand playing with the blanket that draped over your form.

“Mother’s always worry” He whispered gently, pressing another kiss on your cheek as your thoughts slowly turned to your babies that were born in the night.

Within a few minutes a nurse knocked on your door and stepped inside.

“Good morning” The nurse cooed as she moved over to your bed, picking up the chart that hung on the foot of the bed before flipping to the correct page and jotting down your vitals.

“Good morning” You whispered back, holding Baekhyun’s hand tighter in yours.

Silence filled the room as the nurse clicked her pen and jotted down the notes before clicking it again and sliding the pen into her chest pocket.

“D-Do you know when I can see my babies?” You questioned quietly, not wanting to step on any toes or ask too much.

“I will go ask for you” Giving you a sweet smile, she bowed and then left the room to ask your question.

Seemingly minutes ticked by before another knock was heard from the door, the same nurse smiled and slipped through the door as she made her way over to your bed.

“Would you like to see them? The doctor said that it would be okay” The nurse smiled as your spirits were instantly lifted and nodded your head happily.

Pulling a folded wheelchair from the corner of your room, she set it up as Baekhyun helped fold the blanket at your feet and turn your legs to hang off of the bed. Sitting upright you took a minute or two to get undizzy before moving into the wheelchair with the help of Baekhyun and the nurse.

Holding your IV bag, Baekhyun walked next to you while the nurse pushed you from behind, heading out the door of your room, you were pushed down a few hallways before another nurse opened a door for you. Pushing you into the smaller room, a few incubators were placed around the room as your heart began to beat faster, seeing all of the large machines and glass boxes that housed small babies around the room.

Pushing you up to two incubators that were relatively close to each other, the chair stopped as you peered through the glass at the little bodies that rested within. Taking in a deep breath, you looked up at Baekhyun as he saw the worry and concern within your eyes. Taking your hand into his, he held it tightly as the nurse from behind put the brakes on the wheelchair before heading over to the head nurse checking on a few babies across the room.

Taking in a deep breath, you turned your head and peered into one of the boxes, the little black hairs stood proudly up on the baby’s head while the long eye lashes fanned out from the closed eyes, the small fingers were curled against their palm while their chest slowly moved up and down with every breath. Following your eyes down their small form, you saw the sticky monitors pressed against their fresh skin while their diaper was the only thing on them at the moment. Their bare skin soaking in the heat lamp that radiated down on them from above.

Turning your head to the other side, you watched the other baby move it’s slips against one another, lifting their small hand and rubbing it against their face. The small pink lips parted in a yawn while the body tensed bringing the legs up off of the blanket below.

“Would you like to hold one?” The nurse questioned softly seeing you take in the sights.

“Yes please” You whispered wondering if the small babies before you were actually yours.

Nodding her head, the nurse carefully undid one of the boxes as she carefully wrapped the baby’s small body in a blanket before lifting the little one out of the glass enclosure before carefully transferring the small body into your arms. With the slight movements, the little one nuzzled against you, moving to find a comfy position.

Keeping your eyes down on the little life in your arms, a smile couldn’t help but form on your lips as Baekhyun pulled up a chair beside you. A euphoric feeling overwhelmed you, seeing the little creation between your arms, curled up against you as the little hand grabbed your hospital gown trying to pull you closer.

“Would you like to hold one too?” The nurse questioned, happy to see the babies recognizing you.

“M-Me?” Baekhyun questioned, pointing back to himself as you looked over at him, tearing your eyes away from the baby in your arms.

“Yes, you” You chuckled, teasing him as his cheeks began to blush, nodding his head shyly, the nurse prepared the other little baby before shuffling the small body into his arms.

“Are these our babies?” Baekhyun questioned, looking at you in disbelief

“I hope so” You whispered softly, leaning down ever so slowly and pressing a gentle kiss between the black hairs on the head of the baby you were holding.

“You have both a girl and a boy” The nurse smiled as you smiled down lifting your hand up and brushing your fingertip across the incredibly smooth skin just before the little being moved their hand and encased their small hand around yours.

“Which is a boy and girl?” You questioned looking up at the nurse as she smiled.

“Your husband is holding your little girl, and you are holding your son. Your daughter is older by two minutes” The nurse explains with a smile, “The boy is slightly smaller but nothing of concern. They are underweight by a little bit so that is why they are in here, otherwise they are perfectly healthy.”

Hearing her report brought tears to your eyes, with all of your medical complications, you were relieved and happy that you had healthy babies. The nurse left you two with a bow, allowing you to spend some time with your sleeping babies.

“Good job Mommy” Baekhyun leaned over slightly and whispered in your ear

“Thanks Daddy, you did a wonderful job too” You whispered, turning your head to press a soft kiss on his lips.

Too happy for words to express, with healthy children and a supportive and wonderful husband, you couldn’t help but be excited for the future to see what was in store for the four of you. Even though you wished that you could live in this moment for just a little longer.

Hearts entwined
Twenty fingers, twenty toes,
two sweet babies with cheeks of rose.
Born on the same day, two gifts from above,
lives entwined, two babies to love.
