“He’s tiny,” the nurse said, “but he appears to be perfectly healthy.” The nurse gestured to a bassinet in the corner and said, “Let’s get him cleaned up and you can go show him off.”
He started to follow her but stopped, looking back over at Faith. She was still staring at him and he crossed the room to her with three long strides. He leaned down and kissed her sweaty forehead, her eyes and cheeks, then her lips before saying, “I love you, Tink.”
“Love you too, Mick.”
He smiled down at her, straightening when her eyes widened all of a sudden and she gasped. He glanced to the doctor, watching as she stepped back between Faith’s parted legs.
“Faith, you were right,” she said, looking up briefly. “You were too big to only have one tiny baby in there.”
Mick’s eyes widened and he had to force himself to take a breath.
“I see the head,” the doctor said. “Give us a big push, Faith.”
When Faith grabbed his hand, Mick nearly collapsed. Twins? Jessi laughed and stepped closer to the bed. “Mick? You did know Faith and Jacob were twins, didn’t you?”
He looked up and shook his head. Jessi’s laughter grew, Faith’s moans got louder and the room slowly dimmed. The doctor saying, “It’s a girl!” was the last thing he heard before his eyes rolled back and he hit the floor.
