Icy twins and hot actors 45: Crying his heart out
*Meri* "It's okay Luca ... I am sure she didn't mean it ... she is just scared and upset right now". I try padding his back, looking helplessly at Tom. Luca had shown up, telling us that Lumi kind of broke up with him and now he's crying out his eyes rolled up on the couch. "She thinks she is protecting you". Tom tries, but nothing seems to make him cry any less. I shake my head. I feel really sorry for him ... and honestly I want to grab Lumi and shake her, what the hell is she thinking ? "I just thought ...". Luca tries to speak between sobs. "She had just stopped pushing me away. I thought she got that she can trust me, that she knew that I am not running away". Sitting down on the edge of the couch I rub his back. "She has a very hard time trusting that anyone could want her, give her time, she will come around if you keep showing her". He nods sitting up and I hand him some paper towel to dry off his eyes and nose. "Yeah, I have to show her ... make her see without a doubt
Icy twins and hot actors 46: He would go bald for her
*Luca* After talking things through, Meri and Tom decide to go out for dinner. I think they want to talk through what this procedure will mean for Meri. And it gives me and Lumi a bit of alone time too. I have noticed that Lumi seems a lot quieter than usual, and I sit down on the edge of her bed. "Soo ... are you feeling okay about this ?". "No, I am scared shitless.. I am afraid to get my hopes up for no reason. What if it doesn't help, what if it has no effect at all ?" She says, shaking her head. "I get that you are scared ... it's totally understandable baby". I put my arm around her and she leans on my shoulder. "But as far as I understood the doctor, this can only make it better". She sighs. "Yeah, if the chemo and radiation don't kill me before we get there". "You are strong, baby, you can do it ... we can do it". I tell her. Honestly I am as scared as she is, but I need not to show it, to support her and to be her rock. "I'll go bald and you will find me ugly and unat
Icy twins and hot actors 47: Tom loses everything
2 weeks later *Meri* I am sitting in Tom's office, working on a paper for school. Tom is out walking Nani and I try getting work done, ignoring the flashing numbers telling me that someone is trying to get my attention on messenger. Lumi has started on the hard treatment to break down her own bone marrow and her immune defences, making her ready to receive mine and tomorrow I am starting on the medicine that will send it into my blood. My father is on his way, and should arrive later today. I am looking very much forward to seeing him again. And for him to meet Tom. Me and Tom have been doing good, there has only been a few little comments showing hints of jealousy since that incident. All of them over me still having Daniel on messenger. I have explained that I don't like making a scene, as I have classes with the guy. I rather just ignore his unwanted comments, and keep to being friendly and talking school stuff on my part. Also I still don't know if he is just very friendly a
Icy twins and hot actors 48: Meeting dad
*Lumi* "Iskä !" I hold out my arms as I see my father walk through the door. I have always been a daddy's girl. "Kultsi". He booms, walking briskly over to my bed hugging me in that way that makes me feel like a little girl again. "How are you feeling ?" I snuggle into his strong embrace. "I am okay daddy, everything considered. But I am really happy to see you". "I am sorry I couldn't be here earlier Kultsi, but you know how work is". He says, smiling warmly at me. "So mom is telling me that you found yourself a good man ?" I feel my cheeks flushing slightly. My father's approval means everything to me. "I did iskä. He is the best ... in many ways he reminds me of you". "I am looking forward to meeting him, Kultsi, if he can tame my little lynx he has to be some kind of man". He grins at me, making me blush even more. "Daddy !" I giggle. I know Luca is very nervous about meeting him and I hope my father is going to behave. "I am not that bad". He chuckles. "You are strong an
Icy twins and hot actors 49: Asking a question
1 week later *Meri* "Meri … Meri, stop for a moment, I just want to talk". Fuck it's Daniel calling my name, and I have nowhere to escape. I blocked him after the day I broke up with Tom. He has tried talking to me a couple of times since, but I managed to avoid him. "What is it Daniel ?" I stop and turn to face him, when I realise that I can't get away. He smiles at me like we are best friends. "How is your sister doing ? Ready for her transplant ?" Turns out his mom is a nurse at the hospital, that is how he keeps himself updated. "It's going fine, thanks … and talking of my sister, I have to go visit her". "It's such a great thing you are doing, giving her your marrow, you are a wonderful person". He reaches out to caress my arm and I back off. "Not really, she is my sister, my twin, everyone would have done the same". I am backing away slowly. I feel cornered and just insecure. He just follows me, a smile on his face. "So you dumped that old fart I hear. Was it because
Icy twins and hot actors 50: Her answer
*Luca* Honestly I am holding my breath waiting for her to say something. Maybe I shouldn't have, maybe it's too much. I just ... well I saw the ring in a window and thought that it was exactly the kind of ring Lumi would love. Suddenly it hit me that she could actually die. I might never get a chance to buy a ring like that, to propose to her, to call her mine. I had found myself standing in the middle of the street crying, making people look at me like I was some kind of freak. And I went right inside and bought it, wondering how to give it to her. And thinking about it I realised how crushed I would be if I never got the chance to tell her. To prove that I am serious and in this for the long run. And I decided to put my heart and soul out there. No matter what she says, I have made my intentions and feelings clear. But now after asking I realised that a rejection might crush me as well, and part of me regret asking. "Lumi ? Baby say something". "You ... Did you just propose to
Icy twins and hot actors 51: Asking for a second chance
3 days later *Meri* I am on my way to my parents rental car in the underground parking lot at the hospital. My father told me I could take it as I need to get home and finish some homework before school tomorrow. It will be my last day for at least a week, the day after tomorrow we are starting the transfusion, so I am turning in some extra assignments. My parents wanted to stay with Lumi a little longer, as she is very weak now and scared. Luca is with her too, actually he is almost all of the time. He is only leaving when the hospital staff kicks him out. What he did, proposing to her like that, it's the most romantic thing ever and I truly pray they will get their happily ever after. I hate these places, too much darkness, too many corners and too much dust. Didn't I hear a sound ? No, probably it's just my imagination. Then my phone starts buzzing and I jump like half a meter. "Fuck !" Pulling out the phone I see that it is Tom calling. It is the first time he has contacted
Icy twins and hot actors 52: The heartbreaking truth
*Luca* I run out into the hospital waiting room. Tom texted me to come out there right away, that it was very important. I look up at the tv screen, some accident, car smashed and burned with the driver inside. Tom comes walking in, white as a sheet, his eyes wild looking. "Luca please tell me Meri is in there, that she came back". "Uh no ... she left about an hour ago". He closes his eyes. "Tom ! What is wrong Tom". "I was talking to her ... she was driving". The tears has started streaming down his face. "There was a loud noise and she screamed, saying that someone bumped her car from behind. Then another sound and the line went dead". He points to the tv screen. "Please tell me that it's not her car". I look at the screen again. Fuck ! Oh no. I swallow. "I ... it could be ... maybe it's not, it could be someone else". "She can't be dead Luca ... oh God ... what if it's her ?" He looks so scared and desperate and I pull him in for a hug. "I am sure she is okay Tom". My voice

Icy twins and hot actors Epilogue
*Lumi* I sit in the garden, feeling the warmth of the sun on my skin, as I watch my two-year-old son, Rasmus, playing with his cousin, Valo. Their laughter fills the air, a delightful melody that brings a smile to my face. Luca and Tom are tending to the barbecue, the tantalizing aroma of food making my stomach growl with anticipation.It's hard to believe that two years have passed since that special day when Meri and I both became mothers. My chronic leukemia, once a heavy burden, has been kept under control with the help of the new medicine. I feel healthy, alive, and grateful for every moment I get to spend with my family.The news of Meri's pregnancy fills my heart with joy. I glance over at her, as she is sitting beside me, her baby bump starting to show. I can't help but smile, I am so happy for her and Tom. "Meri," I say, excitement bubbling in my voice. "Have you found out the gender of your baby yet?" Meri's eyes light up, and a mischievous grin spreads across her face.
Icy twins and hot actors 103: Wedding day
2 months later *Tom* The sun is blazing hot on the Texan soil as I walk into the room where Luca and I are supposed to get ready for the big day. I glance at my reflection in the mirror, adjusting the collar of my shirt, I am ignoring the faint pain in my leg… a harsh reminder of the past. "Think it's hot enough?" Luca's voice pulls me from my thoughts. He is already dressed in his new suit, looking more Hollywood than Texas, but his grin is as wide as the Rio Grande. "I think it's just right," I reply, a smirk pulling at my lips. I remember how Meri will often tease me about my British love for cooler weather. But today, even the heat seems tolerable, maybe because I finally will get to call her my wife. Luca laughs, a hearty sound that fills the room. "That's because you are about to marry the woman of your dreams. Even a Texan summer can't dampen that." "Marrying the woman of my dreams in a double wedding with her equally beautiful twin and my best friend," I add, causing
Icy twins and hot actors 102: Sweet fatherhood
*Lumi* I walk into the room, the soft light casting a warm glow on the scene before me. My heart skips a beat as I see Luca sitting there, cradling our tiny son in his arms. A surge of love washes over me, filling every fiber of my being. Luca's eyes meet mine, and a tender smile spreads across his face. I can't help but be amazed by how effortlessly he handles our little one. It's as if he was born to be a father, his touch so gentle despite his size, his voice so soothing. After two weeks I am finally starting to feel mostly like myself again after the birth. At least in those ways that will return to being as before. The ones that won’t, Well I do not care, it was all worth it to have our little Rasmus. His name means beloved and desired and he truly is both. I watch in awe as Luca tries to make our baby boy smile. He makes funny faces and coos softly, his voice filled with pure affection. Our son's eyes fixate on him, captivated by his presence. It's a magical sight, one th
Icy twins and hot actors 101: Welcome to the world
*Tom* I stand by Meri's side, holding her hand firmly as the doctor guides her through the labor. My heart swells with pride and admiration for the woman I love, as she bravely endures the pain and discomfort of bringing our son into the world. I glance over at Lumi, my soon-to-be sister-in-law, and am struck by the incredible bond between these two sisters, both going through this life-changing experience together. "Alright, Meri, when the next contraction comes, give it a good push". The doctor instructs, her voice calm and steady. Meri nods, her face flushed and sweaty, but determined. As the contraction hits, she squeezes my hand tightly, her nails digging into my skin. I wince, but refuse to let go or show any sign of discomfort. My pain is nothing compared to what she's going through right now. "You are doing amazing, love”. I whisper, trying to offer her some comfort between contractions. She manages a weak smile, her eyes filled with exhaustion but also an unwavering dete
Icy twins and hot actors 100: Bathroom break
*Luca* I watch as Lumi struggles with the electrolyte drink. I gently encourage her, saying. "It's important to stay hydrated, babe. Just a bit more”. After she has finished drinking, Lumi tells me she wants to get up and walk around. I support her as she rises, wrapping my arm around her waist. As we walk, the contractions continue to hit. Each time one comes, I gently stroke her lower back, trying to alleviate some of the pain, wishing I could remove it all. "Just breathe, Lumi. I'm here for you”. I whisper to her. Across the room, Meri is voicing her regret about not getting an epidural. Lumi, feeling her sister's pain, walks over to comfort her. "It's going to be okay, Meri. We are in this together". She reassures her sister. Seeing that Tom needs a break, having noticed him shuffle his feet for a while, I tell him, "Go ahead, man. Take a quick bathroom break. We will be here”. As Tom goes to the bathroom, I stay close to Lumi and Meri, prepared to help them through whateve
Icy twins and hot actors 99: Unexpected cursing
*Tom* I'm standing next to Meri, holding her hand tightly as we wait for the doctor to arrive. The room feels small, even though it's quite spacious, with both our families sharing it. I can feel the tension in the air, and my heart races with every passing moment. Meri's grip on my hand tightens as another contraction hits. I wince in sympathy, but she just lets out a string of curses that would make a sailor blush. It's a side of her I haven't seen before, and it catches me off guard. She has always been the more composed of the two sisters, but the pain seems to bring out a whole new side of her. My eyes drift over to Luca and Lumi. Luca is resting his forehead against Lumi's temple, whispering something in her ear. Lumi, who I have always known to be the more fiery and passionate of the two, seems surprisingly calm in this situation. It's a stark contrast to Meri's reaction, and it's oddly reassuring. I look back at my fiancée, trying to figure out how to help her through thi
Icy twins and hot actors 98: Water break
*Meri* I'm sitting on the edge of the couch, gently rubbing my lower back as a dull ache radiates through it. Tom looks over at me with concern in his eyes. "Are you okay, love ?" he asks, setting down the book he has been reading. I nod, trying to smile through the discomfort. "Yeah, it's just my body getting ready for the birth, I think. It's probably normal". Tom's face softens, and he moves closer to me. "Let me give you a massage. It might help with the pain". I gratefully accept his offer. Tom fetches a yoga ball from the corner of the room and places it in front of the couch. I carefully lean over the yoga ball, resting my upper body on it, while Tom starts massaging my lower back. As he works on my tense muscles, I can't help but let out a small groan of relief. His strong hands expertly knead the achy area, easing my discomfort. After a while, Tom starts talking about our little boy, who is due to arrive in just a week. "I can't wait to meet him, Meri. Our lives
Icy twins and hot actors 97: Another check up
*Lumi* As we get ready for the appointment, I can see the worry painted across Luca's face. He's been so nervous ever since we found out about my leukemia, and now that we're expecting our first child, his concern has only grown. "Luca, I promise I've been feeling so much better since starting the new medicine," I reassure him, as we both get dressed. He nods, but his eyes still hold a hint of fear. "I know, Lumi, it's just that... I can't help but worry about you and the baby," he admits, his voice trembling slightly. I walk over to him, placing a gentle hand on his cheek. "We're in this together, remember? And the doctors are keeping a close eye on us. We'll be okay." He takes a deep breath and nods again, pulling me into a tight embrace. I can feel his heart racing, and I know that he's trying to be strong for both of us. We arrive at the clinic hand in hand, and check in at the reception desk. First I have to go to the nurse, having blood drawn, so the doctor can check e
Icy twins and hot actors 96: Fun fair
*Meri* The sun is shining brightly as we enter the fair ground, and the smell of popcorn and cotton candy fills the air. "I have always loved the atmosphere of fairs". I say, grinning at Tom. He squeezes my hand and nods in agreement. Lumi and Luca walk beside us, their laughter contagious. "Remember when we used to come to carnivals as kids?" Lumi asks, her eyes sparkling. "Of course, we always had so much fun together". I reply, reminiscing. “But you never tried a Texan one”. Luca winks at us. “Cowboy style”. “Yi-ha”. Lumi cheers. It warms my heart to see her in such high spirits. As we enter the area with the games and rides, Tom spots a ring toss game and challenges Luca. "Bet I can win a stuffed animal for Meri before you can win one for Lumiøz He says, smirking. "You are on”. Luca replies, grinning. “You do remember my card toss right ? You can still bow out”. Lumi and I stand on the sidelines, cheering them on. "They are so competitive”. I laugh. "It's adorable”. Lum
