Happy family (epilogue)
Jacob POV
I was surprised when I heard the voice of Jared, he was standing tall and his muscular figure was full of authority.
"You are what?" I voice out gently, what more surprises would I experience today, everything was so unpredictable, I couldn't utter a word.
I then turned my gaze towards Selina, " is it true".
She timidly nodded as hot tears streamed down her cheeks, she was crying, then Jared went close to her and held her firmly.
"I know what I did was not right, I have always loved her From the Beginning, I was the one who took her first time, I'm sorry for my actions, now I'm here to take responsibility," he said, his words made me surprised.
So I drew in a deep breath before I stood up and started walking toward them, they both looked fearful.
I know how I had reacted earlier on was unlike me, but I can't help it.
Everyone was waiting to see what I was going to do, so I drew in a deep breath, then I hugged both of them which took everyone by surprise.
"I'm glad you have someone who can understand you, but Jared you are getting a severe beating for not doing the legal proceedings before shoving yourself into her" I Joked, they both laughed.
Two years later
I stared at Josephine who was now lying on the bed, she was moaning and groaning in pain, her big belly was full of my young ones, I was surprised when the doctor told us it was twins, six months ago.
"Please take it easy, the doctor is coming, everything is going to be alright" I assured her, despite the fact, I was not sure, because she has been writhing in pain for more than six hours.
"I can't take it anymore, the pain is too much" she cried.
"Doctor, please do something, removed the babies, I don't care, I don't want anything to happen to my wife" I yelled at the doctors. Then the nurses chuckled like this is funny.
" Calm down, everything is under control, the babies need to be mature enough to struggle further" he assured me.
" Argh... God, is so painful" she cried.
I then stayed with her for extra hours, making her cry in both pain and agony.
" Please do something" I found myself crying, I can't think of the pain she was experiencing, it made me angrier.
Then she cried and groaned, I noticed the way she spread her legs, more like she wanted it to come out.
"It's time," the doctor said, then immediately all of us went to work.
"You need to push, then you are almost there," the doctor said to her.
She cried and she pushed herself to the limit, I held her hand and continued assuring her. But when I saw the pain she was going through, the next question that seeped through my mind was, ' is this how my mother suffered to give birth to me?' then if that's the case I came to realize that mothers shouldn't be tampered with, all mothers in the world should be respected.
I was deeply in thought then I heard a loud cry, it made me overwhelmed with emotions, then the second baby came forth, they were covered in blood, so the nurses took the babies and cleaned them before, wrapping them so beautifully in a warm blanket.
They handed the kids to me, and when I noticed the children, I was overpowered with so many emotions.
"Congratulations, they are both boys" the doctor informed me, I felt overwhelmed with the intensity of the moment.
I noticed how cute they are, they both have Hazel green eyes, Like that of Their grandma, that's my late mother.
I was too emotional to say a word, the children were so beautiful that I almost forgot that Josephine was lying on the bed, she was breathing so hard.
"Can I see our little pumpkins" she smiled, she was also emotional, and I teared up.
I couldn't believe kids could make a grown man cry, that's when I realized that children are truly a blessing from God.
"They look so beautiful," she said, I nodded.
Then I went closer to her before I asked.
"What should we name them?".
"Let the first be called, John, and the second Jethro, I want all our family to start Their names with the later J," she said, I chuckled.
"Yes, those names suit them," I said to her and she smiled, there is nothing more I can ask for, this is the best thing that life has given me, a complete family to take care of and happy home to remember.
I drew in a deep breath before I snuggled into my family, she smiled and kissed my cheeks.
Years later.
"Jethro, John, come we are going to the beach".
"Beach...yay, I can't wait" Jethro squealed. While John extended his hand timidly, and he held his gaze down, he had his glasses on which made me see myself in him, the Nerd in high school that no one ever thought would succeed in life, but Josephine boosted the confidence in me.
"I'm scared of water, dad can't we go somewhere else," he said timidly.
I turn to Jethro who was already wearing his swimming trunk.
"Dad... what are you waiting for? We should leave" he said, making Me Burst out in laughter.
" No Jethro, I'm scared".
"Don't worry, I'll always be there to guide you through, I'll also teach you how to swim".
" Really?".
"Yes unless you help me with my homework " Jethro replied.
"Okey that won't be a problem " John smiled happily.
"Wait...wait what's happening here, so John has been helping you with your homework? If that's the case you are grounded, both of you " I yelled.
"But dad " the said with a sad expression.
"I'm just joking " I laughed.
"Okay let's go to the beach ", I added.
"Yay...." Jethro squealed excitedly.
This is my story, how it started and how it ended, I never knew I would be this lucky to have a perfect wife like Josephine and adorable kids like Jethro and John.
They are the reason why I'm still breathing.
