She squeezed his hand. “I still like Kurt, we could do Kurt and Kole, or if you want to skip the K’s we could do Aiden and Austin, or Chase and Chance.”
“Kurt and Kole. You’re amazing. Do you realize what you just did?”
Looking over at the screaming bundles, she said, “Yeah, it’s going to be pretty crazy for a while.” Turning back to him, she said with bright eyes and a beautiful smile. “You did say you wanted a family. You have a wife and three children now. Wait till Junie sees she has two brothers.”
Laughing, he nodded. “One for each of you, she’s been practicing with her dolls for months. She’s going to be a little mama for sure. I can’t believe we didn’t know. It must’ve been all the hopping up and down in the shower that did it.”
Dani laughed and smacked him. “It explains how my bladder could be used as a trampoline, while my kidney was involved in a boxing match all at the same time. I guess we should’ve gone with a little intervention and had the ultrasound.”
Looking across the room, the two of them watched as the nursing staff weighed, measured, and attended to their sons. “I’m just thankful you made it full term, I think your tall stature bought them more time,” Kris said, giving her hand a squeeze. “It looks like they’re almost done, they’re wrapping them up now.”
“Oh my gosh, look, two blue blankets with two blue hats,” Dani said excitedly.
Walking over, and putting one in each of Dani’s arms, Kris watched as she laughed and started to cry. Kissing them each on the head, she loved them as they squeaked and wiggled. Smiling through her tears she looked to him and he kissed her.
“You ready to hold your boys, Daddy?”
He sure the hell was. This was so perfectly overwhelming and he loved it. Nodding, he carefully lifted one of his boys into his arms and he felt his eyes water. He was so small! Crooking his other arm, he held it steady as Dani placed their other son in it and his heart about burst with pride as he stared at the two of them. It was the strangest of things to be standing their holding them, because as he did, he could hear the voices of he and his brothers as kids goofing off and teasing one another. Man, he couldn’t wait to take his boys on their first tractor ride. He was the luckiest man on the face of the earth right now, and every day with this woman just got better. Looking to his wife, he said, “I love you.”
“Excuse me,” one of the nurses said. “I hate to interrupt you, but some visitors just arrived and are dying to get in here. Should we ask them to wait in the family lounge or let them join you?”
His face took on a devious smile and he glanced down at Dani. “You ready, sweetheart?”
“You’re going to rub this in aren’t you?”
Oh yeah, he was. “Damn right I am.”
Rolling her eyes as she shook her head, she responded, “You’re going to be impossible to be around. Be nice.”
Had she lost her mind with all that pushing? Looking from his boys to her, he answered her flat out, “Like hell I will. No way am I passing this chance up. I’m the man, baby.” Turning to the nurse, he said with a grin, “Bring them in.”
Walking across the room, the nurse opened the door and his family rushed in, Linnie and Jules screaming at the sight of him holding two babies. Smiling from ear to ear, he looked at Nate and Jake, each with a baby girl in their arms, and said with total male arrogance, “You slackers, this is how it’s done.”
