She laughs and reaches for him. “I think it is time you go and talk to the family. You can bring them back with you in thirty minutes. I am going to try to feed them. I nod as I leave her with the babies. A nurse immediately enters the room after I leave.
I go back to the waiting room only to find a stressed out Ryan, Olivia, Chris and Nick.
I look around. “Where are Henry and Rosalie?” Olivia jumps, up hugging me. “They were hungry after
being here all morning, bringing in Katie early for us.”
Ryan stands up. “It has been hours. What was happening?”
“I was holding them and now Katie is with them. Thirty minutes, then I will bring you to the room.”
Olivia nods her head. “All good, right? You were bonding with them?”
I laugh. “Yes, one boy is fussy, squirming around crying loudly. The other boy is quiet and content.”
Ryan steps forward. “And, Katie, how is she doing?”
“Just fine. I think the pain medication has not worn off yet.”
We enter down the hallway into Katie’s room. Olivia runs to the bassinettes and looks down at both babies. She watches them in awe. I sit in the chair next to Katie and stroke her hand as her family fuss over the babies.
Nick leans down reading the name cards. He stands up laughing. “Really, Katie, with those names?”
Ryan’s head jerks as he looks down to see the names. He closes his eyes and swallows hard. He touches Olivia shoulder, rubbing it.
I smile over. “Yup, and that one is just like you too. A feisty screamer.”
Katie chuckles. “We chose Bryan Christopher for the “B” in my brother Briar’s name and the Ryan is for you, Daddy. Christopher was for Grandpa Nora, Uncle Chris and Nick, who was supposed to be Christopher but instead that is his middle name, like you too, Daddy. Bryson means son of a nobleman which is Pedro’s personality and Pierce is the same as Pedro, but in English means rock.”
Olivia smiles. “I think those are perfect names for the boys.”
Ryan and Olivia each pick up a grandchild and hold them closely to them. After they all leave, I get to spend another few minutes kissing Katie before the nurses push me out as visiting hours are over for the day. I am excited to come back tomorrow to help her with them during my visiting hours.
Four years later, Katie and I are sitting on a blanket on the beach in San Bart. We are watching Ramón, Bryan, Bryson and Oliver play in the water. Katie shifts her weight to get comfortable since her belly is in her way.
Katie smiles over at me. “You know this is the last one. No more babies, Pedro. Oliver is too much for me to handle. He is only sixteen months old and he is too fast for me to watch.”
I laugh. “No, Katie. I have to prove to Ryan that San Bart is cursed and he made me promise not to get a vasectomy.”
“Since when have you started listening to him?” “I always listened to him. He knew that he could trust you with me. To protect you and to love you properly. I was sincere when I told him that I would wait for you. We got a little screwed along the way, but we did wait for each other. We knew what we had during your spring break, that it was special. I promised that you must wait for me, for all it to be true. Katie, you are so suited for me. Waiting for you was the perfect choice for me. I love you, Katie.”
She gazes at me. “I love you too, Pedro.” She kisses my lips so softly.
