Seven months later...

I'm standing in the dressing area and looking at the beautiful white gown.

Sophia and my dad are looking at me crying. I feel like my stomach is doing flips...I'm so fucking nervous. I have no idea why...I'm getting ready to marry the man of my dreams.

"Mia, you are so beautiful. Don't worry I won't let you trip down the isle." Bob says.

I chuckle and hug him.

I take a deep breath, thinking about the last secret I have. I place my hand over my stomach - I haven't shared this secret with anyone. I took a pregnancy test yesterday and it was positive. I thought about surprising Aiden with it today.

"Are you ready sweetheart?" Bob looks at me.

I wrap my arm in his and smile.

The music starts and Bob proceeds with me down the isle. I look into Aiden's bright blue eyes - I see tears. Is he starting to get teary-eyed?

We get to the end of the isle and my Dad kisses me on the cheek. I step up and take Aiden's hands. "Baby, you look amazing." He says, his eyes roaming my face and body.

I can feel my heart thumping against my chest. "You do too." My eyes start to wonder over his perfectly chiseled body. He smirks at me.

I'm so captivated with Aiden that I'm not even paying attention to the preacher.

"Mia?" The preacher looks concerned.

I quickly turn my head to him, "yeah?" I hear Aiden, my family and friends chuckle.

He clears his throat, "do you Mia, take Aiden as your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"

I smile ear to ear, "I do."

"Aiden, you may now kiss your bride."

Aiden steps close to me and kisses me softly. His hands move to cupping my face, pulling me into him. All of our friends and family start clapping.

Reception...

Everyone is dancing, laughing and having a great time. Aiden pulls me to the dance floor for our first dance.

The way you curse when we're in traffic

A million flavors of your chap stick

The way that you keep my heart captive

The Journey concert in A. C

Remember, we sang "Faithfully"

I've still got that old hotel room key

I wrap my arms around his neck. He pulls my waist closer to him. I gaze into his bright blue eyes that look at me with so much love and admiration.

This is the way I feel

I can't wait for you to be my wife

To live this life together

And I won't let you go

I need you to know

That you are my heart forever

And on and on and on

I lean up to his ear, "I have something I need to tell you." He gives me a worried look. "I'm pregnant."

He stares into my soul - shocked. Before I could say anything else, he runs his hands through my hair and pulls my mouth to his - devouring it. "You have no idea how happy I am right." He says.

A few months later...

We sit in the lobby of the doctors office, waiting to see how the baby is progressing. Aiden's knee is shaking and it's driving me crazy!

I place my hand on his knee. "Baby, you have to calm down. You're making me anxious."

He places his hand on mine. "I'm sorry. I'm just nervous. I wish they would hurry the fuck up. I just want to hear her say the baby is fine."

I give him a sadden look, "I know, me too."

"Mr. and Mrs. Lowell." A nurse motions us into the exam room.

We walk in and the nurse has me change into a gown. "The doctor will be in here momentarily." We both nod.

I start to get undress and I hear Aiden take a deep breath. I look over at him and he is watching me intensely. "You know baby, I've always had a fantasy of bending you over a doctor's desk." He gives me a seductive smirk.

I shake my head at him, "not a chance."

I finish with the gown and hop on the bed. The female doctor comes in, "Are you ready to hear your baby's heartbeat?" She asks.

Aiden cuts in, "absolutely." I chuckle at him.

The doctor rubs gel on my tummy and is searching for the baby. "Ohhh..." the doctor exclaims.

Her reaction worries me, "what's wrong? Is the baby okay?"

She turns and smiles, "both babies' heartbeats are strong. Can you hear both of them?" Aiden and I listen and our eyes widen when we hear not one, but two heartbeats. I start crying. I can't believe I'm going to give life to two babies. My heart hurts with happiness.

Aiden wipes my tears and plants kisses all over my face. "God, Mia...I love you so fucking much."

He turns and looks at the doctor, "and the scaring? Our last appointment you were concerned about all of the scaring and trauma that Mia has been through. Will she have problems with her pregnancy?"

The doctor smiles, "I was concerned, but Mia is over the hump now. The babies heartbeats are strong and I believe she will carry them to term. Would you like to know the genders?"

We both nod our heads.

"You're having a boy and girl."

I wrap my arms around Aiden, hugging him tightly.

Four months later...

Aiden is acting like a crazy person. We sit on the couch and he is timing my contractions. "Baby, they are three minutes apart. You're going to the fucking hospital."

I grab his arm, "I'm not sure it's time." I groan from the pain.

He gets off the couch and grabs our bag. "I don't give a fuck. You're having twins and I want to make sure we get to the hospital in time."

He ushers me to the truck and helps me in. We get to the hospital and are greeted by Bob, Sophia and Caleb. "Looking good Mia." Caleb chuckles.

I glare at him, while trying to breathe, "fuck off, Caleb."

I feel liquid pouring down my leg and soon the pain shoots down. I double over. Aiden and the doctors rush me into the delivery room.

I'm sitting on the delivery bed with my feet in stirrups. Aiden is rubbing my hand. "Baby, you're doing amazing. You're so beautiful Mia. I can't wait to meet our babies."

I smile up at him, but soon the pain washes over me. "Fuck!" I yell. Aiden holds my hand.

With the doctor between my legs, "okay Mia, I need you to give me a big push."

I scream as I push hard.

"Okay, one final big push." She says. I push as hard as I can, gritting my teeth.

"Ahh...Mia, it's a baby boy. You doing good, now we have the other baby. I know you're tired but I need you to give it your all." She says, while handing over the baby to the nurse.

I can't help but look over to the nurse. I just want to see a glimpse of him. "Fuck..." I scream as I feel another contraction.

"Baby, you're doing well." Aiden says while stoking my hair.

"Mia, I need you to give me a big push." I push hard. "That's good Mia. I need you to breath now." I take deep breathes, trying to regulate my breathing.

"Alright one final push and you get to meet your baby girl." She says.

I push hard, digging my knuckles into the bed. I hear a baby screaming. The doctor hands her over to the nurse to be checked. Another nurse brings our baby boy to me and puts him in my arms.

I peer down at him. Aiden bends down and tilts my chin, pecking me on the lips. "Mia, I can't even begin to describe what I'm feeling. You brought our babies into this world. I love you so much."

I kiss him back while holding our son, Caden. Soon the doctor has stitched me up.

I scoot over on the bed and Aiden lays next to me, admiring our son. The nurse comes over and places our daughter, Lillian, into Aiden's arms.

He looks down at her and smiles, "I'm in deep shit aren't, I?" I can see him smiling at her.

"Why?" I ask.

"She looks just like you - she's beautiful." He says.

I lean my head on his shoulder, with tears in my eyes. "God Aiden, I'm so overjoyed right now. I feel like my heart could jump out of my chest." I start crying.

Aiden wipes my tears. "Baby, I know."

We lay on the hospital bed embracing our beautiful children.

If you had told me almost three years ago that I would find this happiness, I would have called you a liar. I thought I was going to die miserable.

But...Aiden found me. He loved me through it all, even when I pushed him away. I don't think I will ever be able to thank him enough for showing me so much love and compassion, and giving me the greatest joy of my life, Lilly and Caden.
