Chapter Nine

"Are you nervous?" I asked, pointing to his ear.

"Why should I be nervous?" he grumbled as he pulled into the hospital parking lot.

"You're blushing, which is why I'm asking if I ever make your heart flutter because I said I wouldn't leave you," I teased him further. When he properly parked the car, I laughed and unbuckled my seatbelt.

"Don't tease me too much because I might fall for you,"

When I didn't hear what Eugene said, I quickly turned to him, but he hurried out of the car.

I quickly got out and went to the back of the car, where he was. What did he say? I haven't heard much.

"Hey! What did you say earlier? I didn't hear you," I asked as I assisted him in lifting the baby basket into which the twins would be placed later.

"No, it's your fault you're beautiful but didn't clean your ears," he teased as he pinched my nose.

He walked away, closing the compartment. I quickly followed him.

When we arrived at the nurse station, a lady nurse approached Eugene right away.

"Hi Sir, may I assist you?" she asked, flirtatiously.

"Stop glaring at her haha." Uge whispered in my ear, I turned to him and stared at him being annoyed. 

I didn't notice I was glaring at her.

"Why? Are you enjoying the nurse being flirty with you?" I ask him to whisper so the nurse who's eyeing this man won't hear. 

Eugene laughs so hard before turning to the nurse again. 

"Hello Nurse, we are here to discharge our babies," he said. 

I saw the nurse's expression from flirty to annoyed, when she looked at me I just smirked at her face and raised my brow. I was shocked when she just shrugged her shoulders and looked at Eugene again. 

"What are the names of the babies, sir?" she asks Eugene, trying to look cuter with her puppy eyes.

When I became enraged, I pushed Eugene and approached the nurse.

"Thorious Clark and Lokious Clark Ibanez, Miss Nurse," I replied, looking at her; she sneered and turned her back after nodding her head.

"Did you see that?" I ask Eugene, my eyes wide with shock due to the nurse's attitude.

He just laughs at me. I was surprised when he drew my waist closer to him, and I stiffened when I felt her mouth on my ear.

"Eugene, what the hell, get away from me... it tickles," I said, but he just grabbed my waist tighter.

"Our babies have arrived...Mommy Laura," she said affectionately, and my chest throbbed.

I saw the two nurses who had been assigned to the twins a few minutes later. I went straight for Eugene's alcohol to sanitize it. I approached the twins with glee and loaded one.

"Hello, Baby Thor, let's go home," I said, smiling as I kissed his cheek and approached Eugene, who was also carrying Loki.

"Hello, Daddy," I said as I handed Thor to Eugene. He knelt and kissed the child on the cheek.

"Let's go home, son," he said sweetly.

"Hi Baby Loki, are you excited to go home? Bat kick you kick haha," I joked as I watched his tiny foot kick.

"You may take them home, Ma'am; all the bills and papers are fine; congratulations!" I nodded and thanked them before placing Thor in the Baby basket; Eugene did the same.

We were almost there when I noticed Elias standing next to Eugene's car. Eugene's friend Elias is a tech geek.

"I called him to drive us home," Eugene said, smiling as he looked at his friend in the distance. When we got closer, we couldn't stop laughing at what we heard.

"My parents will be disappointed when they find out; they raised and loved me, and now this is going to happen to their son? When did I become a Driver for that moron?"

"Your babbling nonsense, you're ready for the car," Eugene exclaimed.

"What if I don't want to — oh! Wow, are these my god children?" Uge's friend's eyes and mouth literally grew bigger.

"Don't get too close, you're dirty," I joked as Elijah frowned and turned to face me.

"Hello Secretary Laura, or should I say Mommy Laura?" he teased, followed by a loud laugh.

"You're not on their godfather list," I told him right away. I burst out laughing because he was so taken aback. 

I carefully entered the car while carefully carrying Thor in my arms. 

"Don't be sad, I'll put you on the Mothers list," Eugene teased him before I closed the door.

———

"Thank you for the ride," I said to Elijah, waving.

"Anytime, as long as I will be their godfather," he said. 

"We'll think about it," Eugene answered him. 

———

"Thor fell asleep," I said as I gently lowered him into his crib.

Eugene did the same thing to Loki because he, like his twin brother, fell asleep.

I sat on my bed, sorting through the twins' clothes, diapers, and milk.

"Is it really okay if they will sleep here in your room?" he asked. 

He's worried I will not get enough sleep because I  decided to put their crib here in my room the other day. 

"Yes, just in case they wake up; after all, they're babies, they can't sleep alone," I responded, trying not to disturb the twins' nap time. 

Eugene approached me and sat on my bed.

"I can help, I know what to do, and we learned how to care for them at the same time," he said as I handed him the baby towel and cleaning supplies for the twins for later. They will need a warm bath later.

"I know you can...but I just want them here so that if they cry, I can just stand up and take care of them," I explained.

"What if they both cry at night? You can't handle two babies in your arms," he clearly stated.

" I'll call you to your room for help," I replied, shrugging my shoulders. I turned around and went to the cabinet to get my clothes; I also needed to clean myself because germs had gathered outside.

"I'll sleep here as well," he said, and I dropped my clothes in shock. I quickly turned to face him and noticed that he was dead serious about what he said.

"W-why? I-I mean... It's just across your room. I'll just call you," I said panickedly, my breathing became heavy because of nervousness. 

"You said it's more convenient to stay in one room because if one of the twins cries, we can take care of them right away; I don't want to give you all the responsibility Laura; I want to do this with you... let me do this with you."

I rubbed my brow and blew air into the void. My heart is already racing so fast that I don't think I can sleep next to him.

"All right," I said, my eyes narrowing as I looked at him. I caught him smiling, but when he realized I was looking at him, he sniffed to cover it up.

"You're that happy that you'll sleep next to me?" I joke, trying to hide my own nervousness.

He looked at me with a shocked expression, and when he realized what I had said, he sneered at me and stood up.

"Excuse me, I'm just smiling because I can sleep with the boys," he explained, rolling his eyes like a teen.

I quietly laugh as I watch him try so hard to deny what I said.

"Tsk, stop laughing, hmp! I'll go to my bedroom to put on my pajamas," he said as he walked out of my room.

I silently screen before slamming my face into the bed when the door finally closes. Oh no, I'll have to spend the night with him. I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight because of this.
