Chapter Seven

We tried to locate Gail's relatives after Eugene said his goodbyes to her. But, according to what we found, Gail had not communicated with any of her relatives in a long time. We also had no idea where to look for them, so Eugene decided to hold a small and private funeral for Gail.

I walked over to Gail's coffin and placed the white flower I was holding. I smiled when I saw her resting peacefully; she seems to be happy and satisfied right now... When a light breeze blows against my skin, I close my eyes and feel it... It's a very soothing wind, like a goodbye hug from her.

"Goodbye Gail, even though we've only been together for a short time, I won't forget you; don't worry okay? I'll look after them." I said for the last time. 

----

Things happened so quickly, and now we're in the Baby ward, where Eugene's two baby boys are. I rubbed his back as he began to cry, holding the glass and looking at the twins steadily. I looked up, wiped away my tears, and asked the nurse if we could see the twins more closely.

"Yes, Ma'am, it's all right. Come in and put on a hospital gown, hairnet, and disinfect well before the two of you can wait in the other room." I nodded and smiled.

"Are you alright? Come here first and put this on so we can get close to them," I said as I helped him in putting on the robe.

"Look how incredibly tiny they are," he said, breaking down in tears, staring intently at the nurse who was already taking one of the twins. I shook my head and finished disinfecting.

"Even your own cuteness is nothing, especially when compared to any of them at all," I joked before laughing when I noticed him pouting while putting an alcoholic drink in his hand.

"It's as if you're making me look like I'm not cute enough though," he said, jokingly hitting my shoulders and acting like a child once more.

"You're cute, but you're not really that cute," I shrugged my shoulders and drew him in, ignoring how his face frowned even more.

After following all of the nurse instructions, we entered the waiting room and sat on the sofa, eagerly awaiting the two nurses who would bring the twins to us. Eugene's hand was trembling in excitement, so I patted it to try to relax him.

"Calm down, you might die from excitement like that," I teased him.

He simply replied with a smirk that made me laugh. I'm excited to see the babies as well, so I immediately stand up when the door opens.

"Here are your two beautiful Baby boys," the nurse at the hospital exclaimed joyfully.

I approached one of the newborn babies and touched his small hand. I silently squeal when I feel the softness of his skin; I'm actually afraid that he'll break while I'm holding him like this.

Eugene was just staring at one of the twins when I walked close to him and gave him a heartfelt smile encouraging him to hold his child.

"Hold him, he's waiting for his Daddy," I would have said that normally, but my voice began to tremble and it sounded so emotional.

It's just a very touching feeling seeing these two tiny boys; they've always had a special place in our hearts since the very first time we saw them, but having the opportunity to hold them like this... It is becoming clear that they will be a part of our lives from now on. 

"Hi kids, D-Daddy is here..." his voice started to tremble as he caressed both babies. I couldn't take my eyes away from the three of them. 

Seeing Eugene finally meet his sons is a priceless memory... It's very moving to see the three of them. I hope Gail is looking at them right now and seeing how she made Eugene happy. 

Eugene now has a reason to live happily thanks to Gail. 

"Excuse Mr. and Mrs. What are you going to name them? You need to fill out these papers," the nurse said as she handed the two papers to us. 

"Have you thought about what to name them?" I asked, he nodded and sat on the sofa while holding the papers. 

"Thor and Loki," I smacked him on the shoulder after hearing those names.

"Are you serious, Eugene? Your sons will be furious with you in the future for naming them like that! " I laugh, but he lightly taps me on the forehead with a pen.

"Thoreus Clark and Lokieus Clark," he said, referring to the twins' full names. 

After hearing the names, my mouth forms an o. I had no idea he could come up with such lovely names.

"But it's too difficult to spell," I sigh, looking at the twins. "Pedro and Penduko sound cute, and it's simple to write," I shrug.

When he laughs loudly while shaking his head, I raise my brows.

"Did you hear that Loki, Thor? Thank me in the future because I'm the one who named you and not your Mommy. "

Mommy?

I was too stunned to look at him. He tilted his head and kissed my head, which added to my surprise. He ends up looking me in the eyes and gives me a serious look.

"Gail and You are the only women who can be their moms. Thank you so much, Laura... Thank you so much. " he said softly to me. 

When I saw the nurses' fluttered faces, I felt my entire face heat up so I pushed him away. 

"All right, all right," I jokingly pushed his face away and walked closer to the twins to hide the tears in my eyes and my racing heart.

When I saw the twins up close again, I immediately smiled. So, I'm the mother of these two children. I'm incredibly happy.

I never expected to feel this much happiness in my entire life. When I looked behind me, Eugene was standing close to me.

"This is Thor," Eugene gently pressed Thor's cheek, who was already sleeping beside his twin.

"And this is Loki," Eugene said as he stroked Loki's foot. I laughed when Loki kicked his hand away; he clearly inherited his father's snobbishness.

Uge handed the paper to the two nurses, who simply greeted us with congratulations and left with the twins. We can't bring them now, but they'll be released tomorrow.

When Eugene and I were left alone, the room fell silent. I sneezed and turned to face him, but I quickly backed away when I realized how close we were.

"Shall we go?" I asked, a little awkwardly.

"Are you going to leave us?" he asked abruptly.

"What kind of question is that? Of course not." I replied, he then smiled and scratched his neck.

"Eugene I will not leave, I promise you didn't I? I will stay with you and the twin " I assure him and hold his hand. 

"I'm sorry for shamelessly asking you that. I'm just afraid that you'll leave us behind, because you have no obligation to us. I'm so selfish because I'm making you stay- "

"Eugene stop. I would be really angry if you said that. Haven't we already talked about this? .I decided it for myself, so don't blame yourself or say sorry to me, I have a right to choose whatever I like and here is what I chose. I chose to be with you in raising Thor and Loki. .you don't know how happy I am to be their Mommy. '' I said with a smile and tried to reach her cheek to wipe away her tears. He took my hand that was on his cheek and looked straight into my eyes.

"I promise I'll be a good Daddy and...- your boss and bestfriend" I laughed and nodded before walking away from him. 

When I felt a pain after hearing what he said, I bitterly smiled to myself, our relationship being him as my boss and me as his best friend will not change. 

I'm embarrassed because, like a desperate woman, I was expecting a label. I heaved a sigh, trying not to think about it. I need to remind myself that my role in their lives is a mere substitute, nothing more, nothing less.
